text: Emergency Stop Devices Cable (Rope) Pull Switches Lifeline 3 Specifications Description The Lifeline 3 is a cable (rope) operated emergency stop device designed to meet the stringent requirements of EN 418 (Safety of Machinery—Emergency Stop Equipment). The Lifeline 3 system can be installed along or around awkward machinery such as conveyors and provides a constant-access emergency-stop facility. The Lifeline 3 is the only device of its kind to incorporate the following features in one unit making it the most versatile cable switch on the market. 1. The positive-mode mechanism ensures that the contacts are immediately latched open on actuation and can only be reset by the intentional action of turning the blue reset knob. The design also protects against nuisance tripping and the effects of thermal expansion. 2. The cable-status indicator makes the system easy to set up and maintain for spans up to 30m (98ft). 3. Four sets of contacts are provided: 2 N.C. + 2 N.O., 3 N.C. + 1 N.O., or 4 N.C. contacts. 4. Sealed to IP67 with rugged construction using die-cast alloy and stainless steel to withstand harsh conditions.

The first and last P. Bolt must be located as close as possible to the switch eyelet while maintaining adequate clearance (125mm/5in) from the cable grips to allow free movement. This ensures a straight and efficient pulling action on the switches. 2. Additional P. Bolts, spaced 2-3m (6-9ft) apart, help keep the perpendicular pull force, F, and distance, d, within IEC60947-5-5 specifications of 200N (45lbs) and 400mm (15.75in). 3. We recommend using a switch at both cable ends, especially in applications with long cable runs or cable runs going around bends. This helps ensure that the safety function is fulfilled upon actuation of the cable in any direction. 4. ISO13850 (EN418) requires that the full length of cable to be within view when the reset is turned to the run position or the machine must be inspected over the whole length of the cable, both before and after resetting. 5. On shorter cable runs (max 10m), a Lifeline tensioner spring may be used at one end of the span. The installation must be such that the above requirements can be met. When a spring is used, the last P. Bolt must be located as close as possible to the spring while maintaining adequate clearance (125mm/5in) from the cable grips to allow free movement. This is intended to help to ensure that a pull near the end of the cable will be between P. Bolts. This should result in operation of the switch contacts instead of only the spring moving. 6. Careful attention is required for the design of the installation to ensure that the cable is not likely to become trapped or snagged. This is especially important when using a tensioner spring because a cable snag between the location of the pull and the switch could prevent the actuation of the safety function. 7. It is essential that when the installation is complete, a thorough functional test is made. This should include checking all types and directions of pull over the length of the cable as well as checking for slack-cable tripping. 6-6 Emergency Stop Devices Cable (Rope) Pull Switches Lifeline 3 Approximate Dimensions—mm (inches) Dimensions are not intended to be used for installation purposes. 56 (2.2) 43 (1.69) 10.5 (0.41) 204 (8.03) 4 x M5 mounting holes 60 (2.36) 40 (1.57 30 (1.18) Typical Wiring Diagrams 4 N.C. style 3 N.C. + 1 N.O. style 2 N.C. + 2 N.O. style 41 31 21 11 43 31 21 11 43 33 21 11 42 32 22 12 44 32 22 12 44 34 22 12 4 N.C.

HENFIELD Youth Club is looking for ways to save money amid County Council cuts to the youth budget.
As reported in the County Times (01/12/11), West Sussex County Council (WSCC) announced a further £2 million cuts to its youth services budget, significantly affecting youth centres across the Horsham District.
Henfield parish council is working with the village's youth club management team to work out a plan to provide support if staffing is cut further.
In a first wave of cuts earlier this year two members of staff took voluntary redundancy, while another was moved to a different location.
The club now mostly relies on a team of unpaid volunteers from the village to help out.
Youth worker Debbie Slaughter is employed by WSCC and has two staff that are only paid for two and a half hours a week. However, they will not work these hours in Henfield from April.
Member of the management team and Horsham District councillor Shelia Matthews (Ind, Henfield) spoke to the County Times about how vital this service is for the youth of the village.
"The youth centre sets up the village for the future. The children that go there now get a good grounding, they learn skills and have fun and learn how to work together."
She added that Henfield as a village is 'fairly isolated' with no buses running after 7pm each night.
"If a young person wants to get out of the village after seven it is very difficult for them to get home," she said.
Ms Matthews, keen to see the youth club continue its important social role, also highlighted how important volunteers will be to its future.
She said the club is looking for people who are qualified plumbers or electricians who would be able to help out if something went wrong.
"I don't want the burden on just one person," she said. "If we could get a group of people who we could call on that could help, it wouldn't happen a lot as the building isn't very old."
Mike Beardall, chairman of Henfield Enterprise, said: "Henfield Youth Club has been at the centre of this community for years and does vital work in keeping young people motivated and focused.
"Without the youth club this village would be massively poorer. We need to give young people every opportunity to achieve their potential, whatever their situation.
"The work Debbie and her team does is essential for the future of young people in Henfield."
WSCC will provid support for Henfield Youth Club until the end of the current financial year with transitional funding.
The youth club has two evenings a week for seniors (11-19) and one evening for juniors (8-11). There are 75 current members of the youth club and up until September there has been 120 members at various times of the year.

Ellensburg, WA 98926-2887
Monday - Friday8 AM - 5 PM
Kittitas (pronounced 'kit-i-tass') County is located in central Washington
State. It spans from the lush forested Cascade Mountains to the upper Yakima River Valley plains and
the Columbia River.
Kittitas County, WA -
04/26/2017 -
The Kittitas County Public Health Department has free shingles and free Tdap (Tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis) vaccine available. Call the Kittitas County Public Health Department for an appointment today! These vaccines are free for adults who do not have health insurance, or if the insurance requires a co-pay. There is an administration fee of $23.00, but the fee can be reduced or waived based on your reported income.
Are you 60 years and older? Would you have to pay out of pocket for shingles vaccine? According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), shingles is a painful rash that develops on one side of the body. It is caused by the varicella zoster virus (VZV). This is the same virus that causes chickenpox. VZV stays in your body after causing chickenpox. If you have had chickenpox in the past, then VZV is inside you. For reasons that are not fully known, the virus can reactivate years later and cause shingles.
People 60 years and older should get vaccinated against shingles. Even if you have had shingles in the past, it is still advised that you get the shingles vaccine to protect from future occurrences. Only one vaccination is recommended to protect against shingles. If you have questions about whether you should be vaccinated, please contact the Kittitas County Public Health Department.
Anyone who is going to have contact with a newborn should be vaccinated against pertussis, also known as whooping cough. For adults, pertussis causes a cough that lasts for weeks, but babies usually need to be hospitalized and can die of pertussis. Most adults were vaccinated against pertussis as young children, but immunity wanes over time. Pertussis vaccine is only available in combination with tetanus and diphtheria vaccine. All adults should get a tetanus and diphtheria booster every ten years, and CDC recommends that one of those boosters should include pertussis. Women are recommended to get a Tdap booster with every pregnancy.
To schedule an appointment, please contact KCPHD at 509-962-7515.

Search for plane crash victim continues
Dive teams at Cape Liptrap, in Eastern Victoria are using underwater scanning technology to recover wreckage and possibly a body, after the weekend's plane crash.
Geoff Milne, his wife, his son, and their son's girlfriend disappeared on a flight from Melbourne to Merimbula in the Cessna on Saturday.
Searchers have found three bodies and parts of the plane, off the coast near Cape Liptrap.
Sergeant James Bate from Victoria Police Search and Rescue says they are still looking for the crash site.
"There's certainly plenty of debris on the beach, but it looks to us as if it's impacted the water at high speed. Exactly how deep and exactly where in the water, we haven't determined yet," he said.
The Australian Maritime Safety Authority (AMSA) has been criticised for not responding to a possible sighting of the plane while the search was underway.
Denice Dixon saw the plane flying over Inverloch on Saturday and heading out to sea.
Her husband, David Dixon, says he rang AMSA to offer the information and is angry that it was never followed up.
"At that stage there were reports that it had been seen at Orbost, which is now proved to be wrong," he said.
"I did say to the authorities there that my wife is very very knowledgable about these aircraft because she's been flying for ten years with me and she had seen it go over View Street at about a thousand feet heading out towards the water. Now I told the gentleman this and he did not ring her back."

Earlier this month, Utah politicians passed legislation banning the sale of keyword-triggered ads if the keywords were trademarked. One of the sponsors of the legislation bizarrely claimed that this kind of activity was akin to identity theft since someone looking for one product might suddenly become interested in a competing product. Of course, he never explained how that's any different than a supermarket putting similar products near each other, and maybe even competitor's coupons beneath a popular product. Of course, it sounds like the politicians who pushed for the law never bothered to actually talk to internet companies to figure out how all of this stuff works. It's only now, after the legislation has been passed, that the politicians figured it was worth maybe understanding what their legislation would actually do. So now that they've met with a bunch of tech execs, they're saying that they probably won't actually enforce the law and may even look to change or potentially repeal it. Wouldn't that have made a lot more sense prior to introducing, campaigning for and passing the legislation?

How About Keyword Ads for Dead Babies?In the Sichuan Province of China, a couple had a son with an inoperable brain tumor. When their next-door neighbor's baby died, they remembered an urban legend that said eating a baby that just died will cure any disease. The couple dug up the baby's corpse from the grave, severed its head, and served the torso to their son. The three have been charged with desecrating a corpse.

Not limited to internet billsThere was a bill in the NH legislature proposing requirements for seatbelts on motorcycles.
When you crash on a motorcycle, the last thing you want is to be strapped to it.
There was a similar bill for Farm tractors. A farmer friend of mine said if it has a cab/roll cage, you want it. If it doesn't, a seatbelt is death as the tractor rolls over on you.
Common sense isn't common.

Politics...In the olden days in order to become a leader you had to be known by the people and be knowledgable of the people, industries, and so forth of the area you were trying gain a political seat in.
These days politicians know next to nothing about the things they are trying to regulate and to make it worse they acutally depend on lobbyists, focus groups, and corporations to keep them informed of the issues.
I don't know how to ride a motocycle therefore I'm not qualified to make a law telling everyone else (including actual riders) how to ride one.
Due to the fact that policians have so much responsibility they should be held to a higher standard of understanding the issues they try to pass laws about.

- Small species (large fish contain higher levels of mercury)
- Wild Caught (know where your food is coming from)
- Sustainable source (some fishing techniques destroy the ocean environment)
- Non overfished species (Bluefin tuna if highly overfished)
To start your fish consuming journey, look for small oily species of fish. Consuming fish low on the food chain will limit your intake of toxic by product since these little fish are eating small spectrum of what is in the ocean. These little oily fish are full of beneficial omega 3 fatty acids in which the typical American is deficient in (no need to supplement with potentially rancid fish oil pills
if you are eating a lot of these suckers). A acronym to follow when you are looking for these species of fish is S.M.A.S.H; salmon, mackerel, anchovies, sardines, herring. When I find any of these fish in the tin on sale I stock up on them. The tin packages are great to have on hand if you ever need some food in a pinch, just pour on top of some greens and the oil doubles as your dressing (I always have a couple tins in my climbing pack).
Now that you know what kind of fish to look for you need to become familiar with how the fish was raised. Just like any other food source you must investigate and be aware of packaging terms to ensure a quality product. For example a piece of salmon that is labeled "Atlantic Salmon" is not exactly wild caught. These fish come from ocean fisheries. In other words these salmon are farmed, fed a crap diet, swim in over stocked pools filled with their excrement and overall are not beneficial to your health.
Sustainability in fishing is ensuring the fish you are eating was not caught with disregard to the environment in which it came from. For instance, a lot of clams, scallops and oysters in this country are caught by dredging. This is a method in which a metal mesh bag is drug along the bottom of the ocean which causes significant habitat damage. A few other types of unsustainable fishing includes; Gillnetting (in some areas this is not responsible because it can entangle and kill sea turtles and other marine animals, however in Alaska salmon are sustainably caught this way because of low levels of by catch in those areas), longlining, purse seining (works well for small fish like herring, however when used for tuna all other kinds of species are caught and die, including dolphins), Trawling (can be destructive to the habitat).
On a positive note, there are some sustainable forms of fishing, these include; hook and lining (pole catching), harpooning, traps, reef nets, trolling (or employing a grizzly).
I mentioned earlier the species of fish you should be consuming. There are a few species that are ok to eat from time to time, these include; Mahi Mahi, pacific halibut, Pollack, white sea bass, and shell fish. And on the far end of the spectrum I avoid eating ahi tuna, shark, sword fish, and Chilean sea bass. I avoid these fish due to a couple reasons. One of which they are being overfished and to the point of threating their existence. Also being a large fish, they are higher in mercury and don't offer the vast health benefits in which the S.M.A.S.H fish do.
Here are a few good resources to use in terms of obtaining sustainable healthy fish
- wildpacificsalmon.com
- seabeef.com
- jdockseafood.com
- vitalchoice.com
- seafood watch app
Be kind to your body and the environment by educating yourself and taking a interest in where your sea food is coming from and how it is being sourced. It is very interesting to learn about something that we usually take for granted.

Taylor Swift admits "her life is strange" because of her worldwide fame.
The 'Shake It Off' singer accepts her existence is very different to normal people but she doesn't think the pressure of being scrutinised constantly will have an adverse affect on her like many of pop peers.
Taylor thinks she'll be able to cope with it because she tries to remain as grounded as possible.
In the new issue of Germany's Glamour magazine, she said: "I don't think I will go crazy, because I admit to myself that my life is strange and not normal. Sometimes it feels unfair, but when I get home to my New York apartment - which I still cannot believe that I can actually afford - then it no longer feels so unfair to me."
Although she attracts much intrigue because of her love life, Taylor thinks she doesn't get hassled as much as some other female musicians because she doesn't court controversy like many of them.
The pop superstar - who is currently dating Calvin Harris - said: "Every artist has other priorities. Every woman falls back on other things, about which they feel strongly about. Many want to be eccentric, cool or bored. That's fantastic if you have a do not care attitude. But that's not mine."

I put Youtube user Kenny Stimmel's Blood Echos glitch video to the test. In a Bloodborne exploit that lets you earn over 2000 Blood Echos every 5 seconds or so. After seeing his video, I had to give it a try for myself.
Kenny has even speculated that more is to be found with this exploit and you may even be able to reach numbers over 10,000 Echos every single pass.
It should be noted that one of the main theme's in Bloodborn is brutal difficulty, and leveling way past your skill level may result in chainging the world in unforseen ways that make progression more difficult. But, hey... BLOOD ECHOS AMIRITE

I have a "thing" about plates and different types of china. So does my friend, Lori. We have been known to shop an entire day...12 hours...on a bargain hunt for plates, dishes and table linens. Once we find something, we label it as a "treasure" until we find more of that certain something at a bargain price. Recently, we were on a mission to find "cabbage plates". Specifically, a brand of china made in Portugal called "Bordallo Pinheiro". It comes in many patterns, but Lori and I were concentrating on the "Cabbage or Lettuce Leaf" pattern; either in green or pink.
We found candlesticks and she found bowls and plates, but try as we might, we had hit a dead end and could not find any more cabbage treasures to begin a collection for me. Tired, but not yet discouraged, we stumbled into a local Tuesday Morning (one of our favorite haunts) and started the search. I was looking at anything green and low and behold....there it was! A small ceramic CABBAGE PIG!!! He is so cute....looks like he broke through a watermelon with a vegetable in his mouth and cabbage on his head. And guess what? Yes, there were two!! So, of course we bought them both; no plates were to be found, but we love our Cabbage Pig.
For me, he has become the symbol of the ultimate relaxation.....creating, redesigning and tablescaping. And yes, I am addicted to all three. But what great stress relievers they are!
So, welcome to the home of The Cabbage Pig!!

I know it's still a few days away. But since I started getting all set up for crossing the Atlantic, heading to the awesome SXSW Interactive once more, I thought, I'd share my excitement with you. You'll find my intended schedule at sched.org
It'll be my third trip to SXSW after 2006 (after which I took a trip north to Alaska to attend a friend's wedding) and 2008.
This year I'll be traveling with Peter Prochaska, a friend and awesome PHP developer.
Looking forward to a mind-boggling conference and meeting inspiring people.
If you're also going to SXSWi, drop me a line here or follow me on Twitter @migrosch.

I finished the goats' corral. I just basically nailed up temporary walls on our unfinished "new" barn and closed in an area for them to graze. No mud -- lots of grass and grazing stuff! They have loved it. Next, I'll be enclosing an area behind the new barn for them to graze in, too.
We went to Eureka Springs, AR this past weekend, and wouldn't you know! It was their "Yards and Yards of Yard Sales"! Fun, fun, fun! I found a 1962 Barbie Dream House, the blue one, the first one ever out, and the one that we had as little girls! With ALL the cardboard furniture! Can you believe it? Pictures are to come!
We are going to Birmingham this weekend to see Gary's kids. Can't wait to see Sarah, as she is expecting next month.

Appeal from Order of Commonwealth Court dated August 19, 2010 at No. 643 MD 2010
The opinion of the court was delivered by: Mr. Chief Justice Castille
SUBMITTED: September 8, 2010
Remanded by per curiam order, October 4, 2010; limited jurisdiction retained
This Opinion addresses an Application for Relief in an Election Code matter, over which this Court retained limited jurisdiction following a remand on October 4, 2010. The issue involves the effect of the District Court's decision in Morrill v. Weaver, 224 F.Supp.2d 882 (E.D. Pa. 2002). The Morrill court held that Section 2911(d) of the Election Code, 25 P.S. § 2600 et seq., which the federal court construed as imposing a district residency requirement for affiants circulating nomination papers violates the First Amendment. The district court permanently enjoined the Commonwealth from enforcing the statutory provision, and the Commonwealth did not appeal that decision. The importance of the issue, particularly as it affects the Secretary of the Commonwealth ("Secretary") in policing elections in accordance with the federal district court's decision, is explained below. For the reasons that follow, we hold that the Commonwealth and the Secretary are bound by the district court decision in Morrill, and may not enforce Section 2911(d) as written.
This question of the constitutionality of Section 2911(d) and the effect of Morrill arise in connection with a challenge to the nomination paper*fn1 submitted by Carl Stevenson ("Stevenson") as an independent candidate for the office of State Representative in Pennsylvania's 134th Legislative District*fn2 in the 2010 general election. Michael W. Gibson and Robert W. Mader ("Objectors") filed a petition to set aside in the Commonwealth Court, raising both signature challenges and a global challenge to Stevenson's nomination paper. Objectors' global challenge alleged that signatures on three pages of the nomination paper were invalid because the circulator of those pages resided outside the 134th Legislative District, in supposed violation of Section 2911(d).*fn3 Stevenson countered, inter alia, that Objectors' global challenge failed because Section 2911(d) was unconstitutional under the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution,*fn4 insofar as it imposed a district residency requirement upon circulators. In support of his First Amendment argument, Stevenson cited the federal district court's decision and permanent injunction in Morrill v. Weaver, 224 F.Supp.2d 882 (E.D. Pa. 2002).
On August 19, 2010, in a single judge memorandum opinion and order, the Commonwealth Court rejected Stevenson's First Amendment argument. The Commonwealth Court reasoned that "[t]he purpose of the residency requirement for affiants is to ensure that papers are circulated by persons with at least some interest and stake in their communities in order to express the true will of the people within that electoral district." In re Stevenson, 643 MD 2010, slip op. dated 8/19/2010, at 6. With respect to Morrill, the Commonwealth Court noted, correctly enough, that courts of our Commonwealth are not bound by decisions of federal courts inferior to the U.S. Supreme Court. The court thus stated that it was not bound by Morrill. The court further observed that its rejection of Morrill was consistent with previous decisions finding that Morrill is not binding. Id. at 7 (citing In re Payton, 945 A.2d 279 (Pa. CmwIth. Ct. 2008);*fn5 In re Nomination Paper of Rogers, 908 A.2d 942 (Pa. Cmwlth. Ct. 2006); In re Petition for Agenda Initiative, 821 A.2d 203 (Pa. Cmwlth. Ct. 2003)).
After finding that Section 2911(d)'s residency requirement was valid, the Commonwealth Court struck all signatures on the nomination paper circulated by the affiant, who was not a resident of the 134th district. The court set Stevenson's nomination paper aside, and ordered the Secretary to strike Stevenson's name from the general election ballot.*fn6
On direct review in this Court, Stevenson renewed the arguments he had made below, asserting, inter alia, that the application of a district residency requirement under Section 2911(d) unconstitutionally burdens his First Amendment right to associate for political purposes, the right to vote, and the right to express political preferences. He argued that, as the Morrill court had determined, Section 2911(d)'s residency requirement constitutes an unconstitutional restriction upon the rights of both candidates and petition circulators, and thus, the statute cannot be enforced.
Stevenson asserted that the district residency requirement burdens core political speech, and is thus subject to strict scrutiny. He claimed that the requirement imposes a severe burden on the First Amendment rights of candidates and their supporters as literally millions of Pennsylvania electors are deprived of their right to associate based upon residency. He acknowledged that there are thousands of potential circulators who are residents of the 134th Legislative District; but, he noted that the important determinative factor is not how many potential circulators there are, but rather how many people are precluded from being potential circulators.
Stevenson also noted that the Secretary did not attempt, in this case, to show that the residency requirement is narrowly tailored to meet a compelling governmental interest. Stevenson argued that even if the Commonwealth had tried to make such a showing, it would not have been able to meet its burden. In a bit of sideways reasoning, Stevenson posited that the Commonwealth's compliance with the injunction in Morrill, and the Commonwealth's decision not to appeal from that decision, effectively undermines any argument that the Commonwealth has a compelling interest in enforcing Section 2911(d). Stevenson claimed that years of compliance with the Morrill court's permanent injunction, without the election system grinding to a halt, establishes that there is no compelling interest in enforcing Section 2911(d). Stevenson also asserted that any interest the Commonwealth could posit in having local circulators is undercut, moreover, by the lack of a local residency requirement for circulators in statewide races. Thus, argues Stevenson, for dozens of statewide races, circulator affiants may be residents of any part of Pennsylvania, and they certainly cannot be presumed to know everyone in the Commonwealth.
Additionally, Stevenson asserts that even assuming that the government had articulated a compelling interest, the district residency requirement for circulators is still unconstitutional because it is not narrowly tailored. Stevenson observed that the Commonwealth in Morrill, and the Commonwealth Court below, posited that the district residency requirement ensures that a circulator has a personal stake in the district; the district residency requirement thus ensures that the election expresses the true will of the people. Stevenson asserts that this argument is hollow, as the true will of the people is adequately ensured by requiring that a nomination paper bear the signatures of hundreds of qualified, resident electors in order for the proposed candidate's name to be placed on the ballot. Stevenson notes that "[t]he residence of the witness to those signatures neither adds to nor subtracts from the support from the electorate, and therefore is not narrowly tailored to promote that interest." Stevenson's Brief at 14 n. 7.
In their brief to our Court, Objectors responded that we should avoid the constitutional issue and instead turn our decision on the individual line challenges to the nomination papers. They also argue that, to the extent we consider the merits of the First Amendment challenge, we are not bound by the Morrill decision as it issued by a federal court inferior to the U.S. Supreme Court.
The Secretary submitted an amicus curiae brief, informing us that he took no position in support of either Stevenson or Objectors on the merits. The brief explained that upon the advice of the Attorney General, no appeal was taken from the Morrill judgment. The brief further stated that the Commonwealth has been complying with the final judgment and permanent injunction entered in Morrill. The Secretary pointed out that, consistently with that injunction, the form nomination papers and instructions provided to prospective candidates do not require circulator affiants to state that they are qualified electors of the electoral district of the candidate.
The Secretary voiced concern that the Commonwealth Court's order directing the Secretary to strike Stevenson's name from the ballot put the Secretary in a position that was inconsistent with the Commonwealth's obligation to abide by the final judgment entered in Morrill. The Secretary asked for guidance from this Court in the administration of future elections.
On October 4, 2010, we issued our per curiam order vacating the order of the Commonwealth Court. We did not resolve the First Amendment issue. Rather, we remanded to the Commonwealth Court for the limited purpose of the lower court considering Objectors' non-constitutional challenges to individual signatures on the nomination papers. We also specifically "reserve[d] limited jurisdiction to issue a supplemental decision, or direct further briefing, if such proves advisable" regarding the First Amendment challenge. In re Stevenson, 12 A.3d 273, 276 (Pa. 2010).
On remand, the Commonwealth Court considered and sustained the individual signature challenges.*fn7 Accordingly, on October 8, 2010, the court ordered that the Secretary strike Stevenson's name from the ballot on that distinct basis. Stevenson did not appeal.
Rather, Stevenson filed an Application for Relief with this Court. The Application asks that we determine whether the district residency requirement in Section 2911(d) violates the First Amendment. Stevenson asserts that this case provides an opportunity to clear away the confusion that surrounds a significant provision in the Election Code. He urges that a definitive ruling would provide certainty to candidates and to the Secretary as to the requirements that Section 2911(d) imposes upon nomination paper circulators and affiants.
Preliminarily, Stevenson acknowledges that his First Amendment complaint has become moot in the context of this litigation. According to Stevenson, the issue was rendered moot when Objectors withdrew their global challenge to his Nomination Paper during the remand hearing. Notwithstanding that his First Amendment complaint is moot, Stevenson contends that we should entertain and decide the issue because it is subject to the mootness exception governing issues of great public importance, which are capable of repetition and likely to evade review. Stevenson asserts that he presents a crucially important question, lying at the intersection of constitutional rights and the orderly administration of Pennsylvania elections. He further contends that the issue clearly has the potential to recur. In addition, he notes that this Court has recognized that election-related issues are likely to evade review because of the abbreviated time-frame in which elections occur. Application for Relief at 8-9 (citing, inter alia, Nutter v. Dougherty, 938 A.2d 401, 405 n.8 (Pa. 2007); Western Pennsylvania Socialist Workers 1982 Campaign v. Connecticut Gen. Life Ins. Co., 515 A.2d 1331, 1333 (Pa. 1986)).
Neither the Secretary nor the Objectors has filed a response to Stevenson's Application for Relief.
As Stevenson recognizes, the threshold question is mootness. We agree that Stevenson's First Amendment issue is moot, but not for the reason he offers. The remand this Court ordered was limited to consideration of the Objectors' individual line challenges, while jurisdiction was reserved in this Court over the First Amendment issue. Because Objectors' global challenge was not before the Commonwealth Court on remand and the First Amendment issue remained in the jurisdiction of this Court, Objectors' purported withdrawal of their global challenge did not remove the First Amendment issue from this Court. Instead, the issue became moot because the Commonwealth Court's final judgment of October ...

Ask me what I'll do when the storm clouds open up,
And the flood waters cover the land,
Ask me what I'll do in the time of tribulation,
With pestilence on every hand.
I will lift my weary eyes, I'll lift them up unto the hills
And the help that I have needed will surely tumble down
I will lift my eyes unto the hills.
Ask me what I'll do when the daylight starts to dim
And the night sky lays low o'er my eyes
Ask me what I'll do when the music starts to fade
Into echoes of sweet goodbyes
I will lift my weary eyes, I'll lift them up unto the hills
And the help that I have needed will surely tumble down
I will lift my eyes unto the hills.
Listen to this sermon here
Once there was a wise woman traveling in the mountains when she she came across a precious stone in a stream.
It was so beautiful. She treasured it, and was filled with gratitude.
The next day this wise woman met another traveler who was hungry. And so she opened her bag to share her food. As she did, the hungry traveler saw the precious stone, and asked the woman if she would give it to him instead of her food.
Without any hesitation, she gave him the stone.
The traveler left rejoicing at his good fortune. He knew the stone was worth enough to give him security for a lifetime.
A few days later, however, he came back to return the stone to the wise woman. "I've been thinking," he said. "I know how valuable this stone is, but I give it back in the hope that you can give me something even more precious."
"What would that be?" The woman asked her fellow traveler.
"Please give me what you have within you that enabled you to give me this stone." (Source)
What is it that allows for such a generous and willing heart, to give away the best of ourselves, our treasures - freely, easily? And do we believe as the traveling man said, that such generosity is more precious than the treasure itself?
I was telling my mom about this Sunday's service, how we would be turning our attention to these questions about generosity. My mom was in a particularly pessimistic mood that day - she responded sadly: I don't know, Gretchen, I think you might have to be born with it. You're either generous, or you're not.
Oh great mom, that'll really preach.
Sometimes our culture makes it seem like my mom has a point. Despite our faith's orientation to see the good in people, we all can sometimes feel like though some are generous and kind and giving, others - maybe more of them, just aren't. And there's no changing it. People are just naturally selfish and protective and small minded. Our culture underscores this worldview all the time. Our culture makes selfishness seem natural. That's the trick of culture. It takes what has been carefully constructed and manufactured and makes it seem like there's no escaping it, as if it is our destiny. As if it is human nature itself.
In his book The Generosity Path, Mark Ewert describes this cultural paradigm that normalizes selfishness as a get-and-spend culture, a culture where you get more so you can spend more, so you can get more so you can spend more, get-spend, get-spend. etc. etc.
In this value system, wealth signals freedom, because the more wealth you have, the more you can buy - way beyond what you actually need, which means you will no longer need to rely on anyone else to fulfill your needs. Wealth like this - we tend to believe - allows us to live as if we are self-sufficient, and self-reliant. As if we are wholly independent.
Not only has American culture long held self-sufficiency up as an ideal - held up the myth of the self-made man (and I do mean man), and the dream of "pulling yourself up by your boot straps," but these ideas have deep roots in our own faith tradition.
Next Sunday I will lead a two part class on Transcendentalism, so we'll get into a lot more detail there about these ideas especially prevalent in the mid-nineteenth century. But for today, I'll just acknowledge that when we talk about what philosophers would call - the turn to the self - and the idea that an individual can be their own source of wisdom and goodness - our Unitarianism has been and remains an active conspirator in the glorification of individualism, independence, and so-called self-reliance.
I mean, one of ours literally wrote the essay, "Self-Reliance." Ralph Waldo Emerson, Unitarian minister turned essayist and transcendentalist, in 1841, proclaimed: be yourself, by yourself. Use your intuition to figure out the truth.
Don't look outside yourself, don't rely on others. Looking outside yourself would be risky, subject as it would be to influence. You have everything you need within your own self.
It's so seductive, isn't it, to believe that we could reach some magical moment where we have acquired so much money or stuff or knowledge or physical strength or whatever - that we no longer have needs, that we have everything we need within our own "self," which would mean we no longer have to "burden" anyone ever - especially those who care about us.....
No really - I have no needs, none at all. I can help you, because I can see that you have needs - but I need nothing - never have, and never will, even as I age or change or as the world around me changes, nope, no needs at all.
Have you ever tried pulling yourself up by your bootstraps - or your shoelaces? Try it. It doesn't work! It's an impossibility. Pull as hard as you want, though you may exert a lot of effort, at the most you'll just end up exhausted.
Writer Margaret Wheatley reminds us, "independence is not a concept that explains the living world. It is only a political concept we've invented. Individuals cannot survive alone. They move out continuously to discover what relationships are possible." This interdependent web we're a part of owes its existence - we owe our existence not to some kind of ultimate independence, but to a complex set of relationships across time and space. This is human nature.
And yet somehow our American upper and middle class and liberal religious value systems lead us to the conclusion that while it is fine for other people to have needs and its even good to help with those needs - we call this charity - we should consider our own needs as a source of shame, something to mask or work to overcome. Dependence - even when we call it interdependence - is vulnerable, after all. Acknowledging and living out of a story of our dependence rather than our independence is vulnerable and risky. Dependence means having our hearts broken, it means grief and loss, and it means the storm clouds will at one point or another open up, maybe open way up - and the flood waters will cover the land and what then?
Well, dependent as we are, we will lift our weary eyes to remember all the gifts we have already been given, the chance to love and connect in the first place - and give thanks. For all that is our life.
Life, if we are to really live it, is risky. Life is grief and gratitude; love and loss. You can't avoid one without missing the other. As researcher Brene Brown would say, you can't numb pain without also numbing joy.
Galen Guengerich - some of you may remember I preached about his book God Revised over the summer - he's the minister at All Souls in New York City - advocates what nineteenth century Unitarians might have considered heresy. He says, our faith shouldn't strive for independence, but to recognize our utter dependence.
As Mark Ewert puts it, "When we recognize that sooner or later, we all will rely on the generosity of others and in fact have unmet needs most of the time. We realize we are all joined in a common neediness, even if the specific necessities differ."
Living out of our shared dependence and our common neediness - as well as the ways that we all are the beneficiaries of the generosity of others - we begin to see all of us as givers and receivers, we begin to acknowledge that it's ok to have needs because we all have needs and so receiving doesn't - can't impact our value, or our worth, because in fact we have already all received so much - by grace and by luck, from forces beyond our control or our work or even our awareness, forces that will continue to carry life forward long after we are gone.
What other response can there be to to all these gifts than gratitude, and awe?
It is the time of year where we talk about giving thanks. Not just because our monthly theme calls our attention to gratitude, but because of the season and the upcoming holiday. This holiday where as an expression of gratitude - we consume a lot of food. Now, I like eating, and I really like eating at Thanksgiving, but I am starting to wonder if there are other ways we could respond to these feelings of gratitude and awe not just in November, but all the time.
Because feeling gratful is good beginning, but it won't get us out of the get-and-spend cycle if it is not embodied, if it isn't practiced, if it doesn't become what Galen Guengerich calls a "discipline" of gratitude.
Which brings me back to Mark Ewert. Ewert's going to be the keynote speaker next April at our District Assembly in Denver - which is what led me to his book initially. We should read the book so we can go to his keynote with some good questions, but also we should read it because it's a great and practical resource for exploring a way to live out a discipline of gratitude that I am calling - Returning the Gift.
Ewert describes how at some point, we might begin to realize that our greatest treasures are not inherently ours, but are simply a gift, given by forces beyond our control. This is perhaps what motivated the wise woman in our story. Recognizing her giftedness, she experienced gratitude. And then gratitude expressed as generosity - returning the gift, back to the grace of the universe that was its source in the first place.
Ewert talks about generosity not just in giving but also in receiving. He invites us to consider how we can be more fully present to those who are giving to us, rather than simply being absorbed in our own anxiety about having needs, for example, and instead to see giving and receiving as an expression of our common neediness.
As we receive, again we experience gratitude, which allows us to repeat the cycle - giving, receiving, feeling grateful, giving, receiving, passing it all on. As the gift is returned into the greater web of life, it grows. It evolves, we grow and we evolve - we are blessed and we are a blessing.
Throughout November, and as one of our 5 invitations of a meaningful membership all the time, we are all invited to practice this cycle of gratitude and generosity. In the month ahead, we have a few particular opportunities. We're offering a 3-class series- the Wi$dom Path - that starts this Tuesday, which is about our relationship to money and and how it relates to our value and faith. We'll be hosting Faith Family Hospitality again starting November 16th, and we're still looking for 4 overnight hosts to give generously of their time and care for families experiencing homelessness.
We'll also continue to invite generosity in our Share the Plate program - which the last two months have generated nearly $3,000 for good across Northern Colorado. And, we invite you to look again at your giving to this church, and if you aren't yet pledging at 3% of your income to see if you're able get there, if your gratitude and its expression in generosity can align with that level of giving. And if you are at 3, does your gratitude inspire you to try 5?
Generosity looks differently to all of us at different stages of life - but we all have the capacity to be generous. This congregation's mission - to further the reach of love - is a direct response to all that we have been given. And so our shared giving is gratitude made manifest.
I know sometimes we get shy or embarrassed to talk about money or giving, but my theory is - these feelings are connected to that limiting belief that none of us should have needs, or that some of us have needs but others don't, or shame about our place in the giving and receiving dynamic.
But for the month ahead, and far beyond that, let us envision that our faith community could be a place that liberates us out of this shame, liberates us out of the give and spend cycle, the haves and the have nots cycle.
And in turn liberates us into a cycle of gratitude and generosity, liberates us into a new confidence and faith, a faith that we are held in a web of deep relationships, a courage to risk going even deeper into these relationships, to trust that they will hold us in our utter dependence, trust that though we may be living awake to this dependence, living awake to how the music will at some point fade into the echoes of sweet goodbyes, we are also living awake to the help that will surely tumble down from sources beyond ourselves, awake to how we are a part of giving and receiving this help, awake to the help that has given us life, and awake at how all of this life, all of it is a gift.
Grief yielding to gratitude. Gratitude practiced as generosity, bringing us back to life, reviving us, breathing with us, through us. Gratitude expressed as generosity allowing us to lift our weary eyes and with faith say, I will love again.

March of Dimes Campaign Focuses on Early C-sections and Inductions
Last update: 12:01 a.m. EDT Oct. 17, 2008
HOUSTON, Oct 17, 2008 /PRNewswire-USNewswire via COMTEX/ -- Mothers are casting their votes for healthy babies and asking all Americans to join them in signing the March of Dimes 2008 Petition for Preemies. They're putting public officials -- and all Americans -- on notice that it's time to focus on the growing problem of premature birth, the leading cause of newborn death.
"My wish is for that day when no new mothers will experience the pain of going home from the hospital and leaving their babies behind," said Susan Aboulhouda, whose daughter Catharine was born 16 weeks early and spent 113 days in a newborn intensive care unit. "That's why I've signed the 2008 Petition for Preemies. This plan will help give all babies a healthy start in life." Catharine, now 6, is the 2008 National Ambassador for the March of Dimes.
The 2008 Petition for Preemies was launched here today at the annual Volunteer Leadership Conference, a gathering of more than 600 March of Dimes volunteers and staff from across the country. Sherri Shepherd of ABC-TV's "The View," one of the volunteers, displayed a new national print public service announcement in which she declares, "My son was born 15 weeks early. I'm signing the Petition for Preemies so that other babies will be born full term."
The Petition for Preemies also is supported by the American Academy of Pediatrics, the Association of Women's Health, Obstetric and Neonatal Nurses, the National Business Group on Health, and more than two dozen other maternal and infant health agencies and concerned business and quality improvement organizations. It can be found at http://www.marchofdimes.com/petition.
"This petition will raise awareness of the growing crisis of preterm birth, which affects more than 530,000 babies each year," said Dr. Jennifer L. Howse, president of the March of Dimes. "It is a true non-partisan vote for babies and will elevate the problem of preterm birth onto the health care agenda of our new president and Congress. We'll let legislators and regulators know how many people signed the Petition in order to help drive policy changes at the federal and state levels to solve this disturbing problem."
The four-point petition calls for hospital leaders to voluntarily review all cesarean-section births and inductions of labor that occur before 39 weeks gestation, in an effort to reverse America's rising preterm birth rate. The review should ensure that all c-sections and inductions meet established American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) guidelines regarding medical necessity of elective procedures.
"Some doctors and patients may inadvertently be scheduling inductions or c-section deliveries early because of an inaccurate assessment of the due date," said Roger C. Young, MD, PhD, professor of Obstetrics & Gynecology and director of the Division of General Obstetrics & Gynecology at the University of Vermont College of Medicine, and a member of the March of Dimes Board of Trustees. "This is a problem because babies born even a few weeks early are at greater risk of serious problems such as respiratory distress, delayed brain development, sudden infant death, jaundice, re-hospitalization and feeding problems."
"Neonatologists and general pediatricians are very good at taking care of premature infants once they are safely delivered, but what we all want is to prevent prematurity from occurring in the first place," said Renee R. Jenkins, MD, FAAP, president of the American Academy of Pediatrics. "We fully support the March of Dimes petition because it makes everyone aware of the risks and consequences of an early birth and supports successful interventions."
"Two probable factors of preterm birth, cesarean sections and induced labor, are on the rise and may be among the many reasons for this concerning increase in early births," said Karen Peddicord, RNC, PhD, interim executive director of the Association of Women's Health, Obstetric, and Neonatal Nurses. "AWHONN is pleased to support the March of Dimes petition initiative and the joint effort to resolve this serious public health issue."
"Modest investments in infant health will pay off many times over in future health and productivity," said Helen Darling, president of the National Business Group on Health. "Employers can play a pivotal role in helping their employees and dependents have the information, resources, benefits and support to have healthy, thriving families. We applaud the March of Dimes for promoting and protecting the health of all children."
In addition to the voluntary review of c-sections before 39 weeks, the 2008 Petition for Preemies also calls for:
-- Expanded federal support for prematurity-related research to uncover the
causes of premature birth and lead not only to strategies for
prevention, but also improved care and outcomes for preterm infants.
-- Policymakers to improve access to health coverage for women of
childbearing age and to support smoking cessation programs as part of
maternity care.
-- Businesses to create workplaces that support maternal and infant health,
such as providing private areas to pump breast milk, access to flextime,
and information about how to have a healthy pregnancy and childbirth.
The Petition will be followed by a March of Dimes Premature Birth Report Card, which will grade the nation and the states on their preterm birth rate. The report card will be released November 12, on the 6th Annual Prematurity Awareness Day.
Preterm birth is a serious and costly health problem that affects 1 in 8 babies born each year in the United States and the rate of preterm birth has increased more than 20 percent since 1990. It is the leading cause of death in the first month of life. One in every eight babies is born too soon each year, Preterm birth costs the nation more than $26 billion a year, according to an Institute of Medicine report released in July 2006.
Babies who survive an early birth face the risk of serious lifelong health problems, including learning disabilities, cerebral palsy ( http://www.marchofdimes.com/professionals/14332_1208.asp), blindness, hearing loss ( http://www.marchofdimes.com/professionals/14332_1232.asp) and other chronic conditions such as asthma.
The March of Dimes is the leading nonprofit organization for pregnancy and baby health. Its mission is to improve the health of babies by preventing birth defects, premature birth and infant mortality. For the latest resources and information, visit http://www.marchofdimes.com or http://www.nacersano.org.
Note: C-sections account for nearly all of the increase in U.S. singleton preterm births. Between 1996 and 2004, the number of preterm births increased by 59,057, and 54,405 of those were delivered by cesarean section, reflecting a cesarean-to-vaginal delivery ratio of more than 11 to 1, according to "The Relationship Between Cesarean Delivery and Gestational Age Among US Singleton Births," by Bettegowda VR. et al., published in Clinics in Perinatology, Vol. 35, 2008.

Thank you Lesley for bringing attention to this campaign. It is interesting to me that the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists is NOT a supporting organization. Hmm.
I am glad to see that the Centering Healthcare Institute is listed as a supporting organization
Their innovative programs providing prenatal care to high risk women in groups has been shown to lower the preterm birth rate by 40%. It's the only intervention that's been shown to work.
Women need to know that getting "standard prenatal care", one-on-one with a doctor, nurse, or midwife puts them at increased risk of premature birth compared to women who receive Centering Pregnancy group prenatal visits, available at many health departments and WIC clinics across the country. All pregnant women should begin to ask their care provider for prenatal care in groups.

Dear Leslie,
Thank you for bringing attention to this very important issue. Current evidence is clear about the short and long-term impact of cesareans on mothers and babies. Many women are not aware that scheduling an induction or a cesarean increases the risks for preterm birth because this information is not found in medical association patient pamphlets. Your readers may be interested to read more about this issue at www.dangersofcesareanbirth.com.

Oh, I read some previous posts too - Rescued Mary is actually St. Theresa. (She's always depicted in the nun's habit holding roses - "I will let fall from Heaven a Shower of Roses") She's my patron saint and I've been looking for just such a statue. Sure wish I still had the one I was given as a Confirmation gift sooooooo many years ago!

Filter Your Faucet Water For Pure, Healthy Water Every TimeWe all want to make more nutritious choices in what we eat and drink, but too often, we are either too busy or we just don't know how to start. This article contains some solid suggestions, some starting points, for people like you who are looking to improve their nutritional health.
Eat more soy containing foods for healthy bones. collagen for skin benefits of the soy foods which contain soy, contain a lot of calcium, or they are fortified with calcium. Magnesium and borron, which work with calcium for optimum bone health, are also found in soy foods. Soy foods are great for strong, healhty bones.
If you suffer from hot flashes related to menopause, studies have shown that eating soy foods can help. Consuming soy will help prevent hot flashes in women going through menopause. In Japan where soy foods are much more common, the women rarely suffer from menopause symptoms like the women in the United States.
Allow your children to help you prepare meals. The more involved children are in the process, the more likely they are to eat the meal. This is especially true for things they may not want to try, such as vegetables. It may not make them like broccoli, but it might make them more likely to taste it.
Always choose products with the most vitamins listed on the nutrition label. Choosing one product with more vitamins than another similar tasting product, will help your body build up your immune system, strengthen your bones and provide you many more health benefits, over a long period of time.
Many people love a good sandwich. That is fine unless they put mayonnaise on it. All mayonnaise contains is fat that will hinder the weight loss process. Try using mustard instead. Mustard packs a lot of flavor and has zero calories in it. You will still love your sandwich and it won't contain so many calories.
An unknown boon to many, studies have shown that red wine is actually a healthy choice. Compared to white wine, red wine has less sugar and more healthy nutrients. Nutritionists believe that drinking one glass of red wine per day may increase your life expectancy. The same idea applies to dark chocolate.
Certain nuts are high in nutrition if you are careful in your choices. Natural almonds are high in fiber and can also satisfy you when you are craving something crunchy.
Avoid drinking your calories in liquid form. Drinks with a great deal of calories, such as milk, energy drinks and fruit juice can give you a large amount of calories without satiating your hunger. Sodas, beer, drink mixes and shakes are full of empty calories and provide no nutritional content whatsoever.
Cobalamin is an extremely important and often overlooked nutrient in the American diet. It is extremely necessary, as it is required for the proper functioning of red blood cells, which provide oxygen to the rest of the body. Good sources of it include animal foods and vegetarians are advised to take supplements.
Instead of collagen hydrolysate great lakes gelatin on those nights that you do not feel like cooking, try having some healthful frozen dinners on hand. Watch out though and remember to read the labels, because sometimes there are hidden sugars in foods that are supposed to be considered healthy and low in fat.
Growing one's own vegetable garden can be a trustworthy and convenient source of fresh vegatables of the individual's choice. This garden can be custom grown to personal preference in vegetables and even different types such as the variety of tomatoes that can be grown. A garden can be very rewarding both nutritionally and in other ways.
You need to eat regularly and eat a substantial amount of calories at each meal or snack, in order to keep your blood sugar and your insulin levels balanced. Not eating enough can cause these levels to crash, lowering your energy levels and your metabolism. click the up coming website will actually cause you to gain weight even though you aren't eating very much.
The advice above will prove to be useful when it comes to the nutritional needs of you and your loved ones. Proper nutrition can change your outlook on life. Do all the research you can so you know what kind of nutrients you'll need. It's worth it.

Friday the 13th
Blogger has been down for over 24 hours. I see they've restored everything now, including my last post from Wed, but the comments are missing. Bummer, they were good comments too. Guess I'll have to find someone else to call a "punk" in the near future, LOL
Even though Olivia got all dressed up for the Red Wings game, wearing her Daddy's Jersey from the 'old days', they lost in game 7 last night. Well at least she enjoyed one of Detroit's famous White Castle burgers in between periods.
--- TAB-TextAdBrokers: no idea what those guys are doing. The count down clock has changed again. Another explanation on the site as to why. I'll keep my thoughts contained until I hear more.
--- JSS-Tripler: I'm having a ball with this one. Watching my earnings grow as I re-purchase and cash out. Definitely my # 1 pick right now :)
--- Ad2million: over 21K in membership and still cycling and paying. Even though payments are a bit slow, if you request on a regular basis, you should be paid on a regular basis. Just remember, you have to make a purchase after you're paid, and your member area will tell you how much or how many. K
Got home the other day and saw a big tree limb broken and pointing down on the front lawn. Wondering how that could have happened. Then I saw the fat squirrels jumping around in the tree. Hmmmm You think I'm over feeding them? I do give them UNsalted peanuts though, so that can't be it, right?

Hi leimer08,
I check my back office in Ad2million several times daily. The site had always loaded properly since 14 April.
If you access Ad2million from a bookmark, then delete that bookmark and make a new one. Google search Ad2million and log in from there.
I heavily promote Ad2million because I want to create a group which are aggressive in repurchasing. I provide support to my referrals regarding my repurchase strategy. That is why I take a look at my back office several times a day.
best regards,

Regarding TextAdBrokers, I'm been reading up on the various forums and it seems that some people are getting refunds on their positions back into Alertpay.
If they are really scammers, that is certainly a strange thing to do, don't you think?
Just my 2 cents worth...
We'll see what happens tomorrow

Hey Mich, Thanks
Actually saw the link in the forum before I read your note. Appreciated!

Azlina, yes I've read about the refunds also. Still scratching my head over that. Not sure what the reason could have been.

Maybe you want to avoid burning the highlights in the sky like a typical sunrise beach, the The Magic Cloth Photography Trick is a good tool to have in your pocket – so convenient and inexpensive.
Shutter bulb:
Exposures can sometimes be longer than the 30 sec your camera will allow. Having a Shutter bulb (sometimes called "Remote) will allow you to expose: as long as your battery allows.
Magic Sock:
Pick a big cloth like a large sock, or black card of similar size. Should be able to completely cover the whole surface of the lens. Better to be Dark. A dark colour is better. You can normally make a straight edge out of any cloth.
Magic Cloth Method:
Camera settings
Begin with a filter or low light for a longer exposure time, then over expose the photograph by two to three stops.
Exposure time
There is an advantage to a long Exposure time. 2-5 sec requires a quick, but controlled action to cover the sky within a split second. 5-10 sec gives you a extra exposure of the foreground.
Magic Cloth Action
In most situations I bring the cloth down quickly and up slowly.
Different Methods
Change the Action to capture a dozen short exposures of the sky, rather than one initial exposure (30 sec or more exposures only).
Meter for the highlights and then times four to get the total exposure time.

Up, Up and Away Happy Birthday!
I purchased this stamp set awhile ago and finally got it out to make a birthday card. The balloons are so fun and make a very uplifting, happy card. I used up some retired SU paper for my card. I also used the itty bitty punch pack to punch out little flowers to use at the base of the balloons. So simple and easy, yet cute! Enjoy!

Dad has been here helping me do the final work to get the tub (body) off of the jeep. In order to do so, we had to cut the tailgate modification off and lift it out. This took quite a bit of cutting and every time we thought it would come free, there was yet another weld or bolt somewhere holding it down. We finally got it and trailered it off to the scrap yard where we found out it weighed 260 pounds (no wonder we couldn't lift the tub off with it attached) and they gave me $22.88 for it! Here it is removed from the tub on the trailer:
After removing "Bubba's" tailgate, we were able to lift off what was left of the original tub and have a look at the frame (note the stack of new tires on the left in front of the jeep - they arrived today!):
Here's Dad sitting in the tub!
Still a lot of disassembly and cleaning up to do...

Down to the frame

Looks great, Lance. A year from now, you'll look back on these pictures and be amazed at how far you and this jeep have come!ReplyDelete
Good work lance. I am closing following the entire process and i must compliment you for the great effort you are putting in. You really started from scratch and you are moving to the finish line as the days go by. The pictures of the jeep parts show how much you have going on. TeraFlex SuspensionReplyDelete
