David Joris (ca. 1501-1556)
1956 Article
David Joris (ca. 1501-1556), a Dutch Anabaptist, was "in a single person prophet, apocalyptic, spiritualist, and mystic" (Kühn, 271), founder of the Davidjorists. There are various versions of his name; besides David—named thus after the Jewish king, a role which his father George (hence Georgii or Joriszoon-Joris) is said to have played in the Rederijkerskamer—also Jan, after his maternal grandfather (Jan van Brugge was his pseudonym after 1544). The rank of his parents is debated. The city of his birth is given as Delft, Bruges, and Ghent. Little is known of his youth. He is said to have been weak physically, and inclined to fanaticism. In glass painting he developed great skill, but by the death of his father he was compelled to support his mother as a merchant. In this calling he traveled from Antwerp through France and England. In 1524 he married in Delft and settled there. No particulars are known about his wife, Dirkgen Willems.
The Reformation made a deep impression on Joris. The earliest of his writings and hymns preserved to us are dated 1529; they reveal unusual Scriptural knowledge. Kühn says of Joris (p. 272): "There are probably few uneducated writers who have made more versatile use of the Bible." He was bold and open in his opposition to Catholic priests, and by 1528 had suffered various severe punishments (lashing, having tongue bored through, and banishment from Delft for three years).
During his exile Joris became acquainted with the Anabaptists of Holland, and was deeply moved by their martyrdom. After some hesitation he joined them, was baptized by Obbe Philips (at Delft, about September 1534), and ordained to the ministry. The songs he wrote in 1535 and 1536 reflect the excited mood of the harassed, fugitive Anabaptist (at Pentecost in 1535 he was in Strasbourg), but are very far removed from the revolutionary spirit of Münster; "he could not sanction attacking with the sword." He openly opposed Batenburg. After the Münster catastrophe he tried vainly to unite the various factions at a conference convening at Bocholt, August 1536.
Soon afterward, inspired by the fanatical words of Anneken Jans and by fantastic visions, he began to consider himself a Spirit-anointed prophet, a third David. Borne by the utmost self-confidence, he preached deepest humility and self-denial; though living in rigid asceticism, he has been charged with moral lapses. A dangerous mysticism appeared in him, which could and did, at any rate among some of his followers, lead to antinomian, libertinistic views and moral errors.
Joris, supported by friends and relatives, now devoted himself entirely to the service of the Spirit. His followers had visions which centered around him. He established a large party of his own. In January 1539, the government took definite steps against him and his party. On 21 February 1539, his mother was beheaded and his family fled from Delft. Until 1544 he stayed in various hiding places in Holland, East Friesland, and Belgium, everywhere in acute danger, and everywhere winning followers, most of them among the Batenburgers after the fall of their leader in 1538, and the Münsterites. With the moderate wing of the Anabaptists he met twice, at Oldenburg and at Strasbourg. But they were becoming suspicious of him and his doctrine, whereas his own followers glorified him more and more.
Success as well as resistance strengthened Joris' consciousness of his calling as a prophet and reformer of the whole world. In 1539 he sent a bold self-defense to the court of justice in Holland, and a prophetic writing to Philipp of Hesse by his messenger, Jurriaen Ketel, enclosing a letter to the emperor and the other estates. To Countess Anna of East Friesland-Oldenburg he sent a long defense, trying to reply to 25 charges, chiefly against his personal attitude and his expectations of the future, and closing with a long mystical confession of faith. It is also known that he wrote to Luther, warning him of his self-derived wisdom and reason.
Joris considered it a dead-letter faith to treat the Bible as the sole authority. Nothing definitive could be decided by the letter in religious disputes; it was necessary to look about for the "Son," to whom alone it is revealed, and who, as Joris is said to have written for the Regensburg Disputation in 1541, was to come from the Netherlands, whose type was Egypt. Whereas on the whole the Anabaptists held to the Scriptures as a principle, Joris rejected them and made a principle of mystical experience. "To the mystic Joris historical revelation was merely a matter of the senses; his religious experience lay outside it" (Kühn, 300).
In 1542, the year he published his principal work with the characteristic title: 'tWonderboeck, waer in dat van der Wendt aen ver sloten gheopenbaert is. Wie een der Ick (secht de Heere) senden sal, ontfanght in mynen Naem, die ontfanght my; wie my ontfanght, ontfanght den die my ghesonden heeft. Hoochghelovet moet by syn, die als een Ambassatoer gesonden komt, in den Name des Heeren, the difference between Joris and Menno Simons burst into a violent dispute. Menno had already in his Fundamentboek (1539) warned against the false prophet. Joris then attacked Menno in a fiery letter: "Gird on your sword, Menno Simons, . . arm yourself with the most powerful Scriptural weapon! . . Who advises you, Menno, to appear so boldly before the Lord, that you elevate yourself above all? Do say, dear man, what spirit or witness advises you to teach? Who has sent you? . . . I will show you (however firmly you may think you have it) that you do not know it, nor do you know what is truth and wisdom, except after the letter." Violently Joris attempted to make Menno recognize his divine mission; but Menno rejected "imaginations, rhetorical tricks, and other deceptions of the devil" which Joris substituted for the Gospel; he said Joris was correctly taken for the "anti-Christ, the man of sin, the son of perdition, a false prophet, murderer of souls, deceiver and falsifier of the divine truth and the commands of Christ." It was evidence of devilish pride and anti-Christian foolishness, that Joris "elevates his visions and dreams above the wisdom of the Holy Spirit, who has taught the apostles and prophets."
Without doubt Menno hit the crux of Joris' fateful error when he said, "Under the pretext of humility he promotes devilish defiance and under the name of perfection, chastity, and other virtues he promotes various vices and shameful deeds." Menno refused to carry the dispute any further.
Offended by Menno's sharp words, Joris protested in a leaflet which he tried to distribute among the Mennonites of East Friesland. For a long time Menno had difficulties with Davidjorists in his own camp; especially Blesdijk rose in defense of his future father-in-law, though he later deserted him.
After a violent debate between the Davidjorists and John a Lasco, the superintendent of the established church in East Friesland, principally on the subject of the authority of the new prophet, which a Lasco in spite of a tolerant nature would not grant, Joris secretly went to Basel in 1544 before the persecution against his group began in East Friesland and lived there with his family under the name of Jan van Brugge as a Reformed refugee, a wealthy and respected citizen.
Meanwhile he continued to influence his followers by innumerable letters to Holland, Belgium, Friesland, Holstein, Denmark, and other countries. His concealment he justified by the example of "Christ, who was likewise concealed in Egypt." He advised his followers against open confession; this course Menno and others called outright hypocrisy. But Joris outwardly held to the Reformed faith, lived in wealth and comfort, and at the same time preached to his followers to flee "false prophets and the wise and mighty in the world."
One remarkable feature of his teaching was his fight for unrestricted religious liberty . In Basel he wrote a petition to the Swiss cities on behalf of the "good and pious Servetus." He carried on a friendly correspondence with Schwenckfeld and Castellion, Calvin's famous opponent. On the other hand, at the end of his life he was on unfriendly terms with his own son-in-law, Blesdijk, who, formerly his warmest adherent, now became his most violent opponent.
Joris died on 25 August 1556, and was buried with full honors in St. Leonard's church in Basel. But two and one-half years later quarrels within the Jorist party led to the discovery of his fraud. The family was summoned before the pastor and the magistrate; eleven men, relatives and friends, were taken to prison. A great number of books and letters, also a picture of Joris, were confiscated and given over to a learned commission for examination. The Jorist errors were compiled on the basis of Blesdijk's already published critique in eleven articles. His family claimed to know nothing of these doctrines, condemned them, and were released under certain conditions, including a public confession in church. But Joris' corpse and his books were publicly burned outside the city on 13 May 1559.
This execution, however, by no means eliminated the Davidjorists, who tried to refute Blesdijk and the Baslerites, and continued to challenge the official church and the theologians to bitter disputes. Examples are Coornhert's feud with the Davidjorists at the end of the 16th century and Ubbo Emmius's polemics against Huygelmumzoon (a pseudonym, perhaps identical with the anonymous opponent of Coornhert). In the 17th century the Davidjorists in Holstein became prominent; Moldenit and his son-in-law Jessenius wrote extensively against them. Gottfried Arnold, on the other hand, defended David Joris, and preserved extremely valuable source material in favor of the much calumniated man in his Unparteiische Kirchen- und Ketzer-Historie.
The numerous writings of Joris, especially in the Basel period, and the old literature about him, are compiled in van der Linde, who has evidence of 264 religious tracts. The older literature for and against Joris contains a long series of unresolved contradictions. -- Gerhard Hein
1990 Update
David Joris was by trade a glasspainter whose reform career can be divided into four overlapping phases: Sacramentarian (1524-1530); Melchiorite sympathizer (1531-1534); Anabaptist leader (1534-ca. 1543); and Spiritualist (ca. 1540-1556). As a Melchiorite, Joris was caught up in the apocalyptic excitement that inspired much of the movement (Melchior Hoffman), but due to his earlier punishment in 1528 and despite his acceptance into the leadership by Obbe Philips and Damas von Hoorn at the end of 1534, he remained hesitant to join radical programs. This is borne out by his cautious behavior at the Waterland Conference in the winter of 1534/1535.
After the fall of Münster, Joris became the most important Anabaptist leader in the Netherlands between 1536 and 1539, concerned primarily with uniting the remnants of Melchiorites and Münsterites by his charisma and a compromise program. As the result of his successful mediation at Bocholt (August 1536) and encouraged by visions experienced in December 1536, Joris came to conceive of himself as the "third David." His consistent advocacy of a peaceful approach may have enhanced his stature in the eyes of those seeking to distance themselves from the Münster fiasco. It also helped some to make a successful transition from revolution to non-violence. Joris' support came largely from Anabaptist artisans who found his option of flight into interior religion ("internal exile") more appropriate for remaining in the urban centers of the Netherlands than the sectarian option of gathered, disciplined congregations presented by Menno Simons. Joris' leadership campaign led him to conferences in Oldenburg in Westphalia (spring 1538), where he gained briefly the adherence of the remnant Münsterites under the leadership of Heinrich Krechting and in Strasbourg (summer 1538), where his program was rejected by the Strasbourg Melchiorites.
Although retaining contact with maw/ former Melchiorites, Joris accelerated his spiritualization of Melchiorite beliefs after he moved to Antwerp in 1539. Moving to Basel in 1544, he found permanent refuge and freedom from the persecution that had hounded him for 15 years—under the name "Jan van Brugge." In Basel his Spiritualism developed fully and his Anabaptist beliefs receded to insignificance. -- Gary K. Waite
A. van der Linde's David Joris Bibliografie. Martinus Nijhoff, 1867 is in need of updating. Not only have additional works been discovered by Roland Bainton, David Joris. Wiedertäufer und Kämpfer für Toleranz. Leipzig, 1937, 108-109, but there is a large collection of Joris material, called the Jorislade, located in the Basel University Archives.
One of the 15 volumes, the "Hydeckel" (no. IX), is a manuscript collection of Joris' early letters (1537-1543), including his response to Hans Eysenburg that formerly was thought to have been lost. The record of Joris' debate with the Strasbourg Melchiorites (the "Twistredt") was published in TA Elsass III.
Biographical information is found in "David Joris sonderbare Lebens-beschreibung" in Gottfried Arnold, Unpartheiische Kirchen- und Ketzer Historie, vol. 2. Frankfurt, 1729, reprinted Hildesheim: Georg Olms, 1967: 703-37. This anonymous work is so richly detailed and historically accurate that it may have been written by Joris himself.
Further information is found in Nicolaas Meyndertsz van Blesdijk, Historia Vitae, doctrinae ac rerum gestarum Davidis Georgii haeresiarchae. Deventer, 1642. While the anonymous biography in Arnold's Ketzer Historie is slanted in favor of Joris, Blesdijk wrote his account to uncover his father-in-law's heresy.
Recent scholarship has gone beyond the preliminary work of Friedrich Nippold, "David Joris van Delft: Sein Leben, seine Lehre und seine Secte." Zeitschrift für historische Theologie. Gotha, 1863 and Bainton. James M. Stayer has summarized recent literature in "David Joris: A Prolegomenon to Further Research," Mennonite Quarterly Review 59 (1985): 350366, and detailed the debate between Joris and Menno Simons in "Davidite vs. Mennonite," Mennonite Quarterly Review 58 (1984): 459476.
S. Zijlstra argued that Joris was the most important Anabaptist leader in the Netherlands between 1536 and 1539 in "David Joris en de Doperse Stromingen (1536-1539)," in Historisch Bewogen, ed. M. G. Buist and others. Groningen: Wolters-Noordhoff, 1984: 125-138, and in Nicolaas Meyndertsz van Blesdijk Een Bijdrage tot de Geschiedenis ran het Davidjorisme. Assen: Van Gorcum, 1983. Zijlstra has also explained the reasons behind Joris' success in winning some followers from Menno in "Menno Simons and David Joris," Mennonite Quarterly Review 62 (1988): 249-256.
Gary K. Waite discussed Joris' following, ideology, and contribution in "Spiritualizing the Crusade: David Joris in the Context of the Early Reform and Anabaptist Movements in the Netherlands, 1524-1543." PhD diss., U. of Waterloo, 1986.

Göttingen: Vandenhoeck and Ruprecht, 1979, esp. 315-324, analyses Joris' discussions with the Strasbourg Melchiorites, although Deppermann's contention that Joris supported polygamy (317) has been refuted by Zijlstra, "David Joris, p. 134.

Hardly hearing
The purpose of holding public hearings is to hear from the public. It would logically follow that, if the people send a clear message, their leaders should act accordingly.
This is not what happened in Stonington.
Last week residents packed the high school auditorium to send a loud and clear message. They wanted the Board of Finance to restore the cuts it had made in the Board of Education's proposed 2014-15 fiscal year budget.
The crowd of more than 400 cheered speakers who said they were willing to pay higher taxes to maintain the quality of the town schools. A good school system is worth the investment because it helps property values, speakers argued. Others expressed fears that a parsimonious approach to budgeting was causing Stonington schools to fall behind neighboring communities in terms of quality.
Anyone listening to the hearing could only draw the conclusion that the vast majority of those in attendance wanted the $525,000 cut from the school board budget proposal fully restored.
On Monday, the Board of Finance instead, on a 4-2 vote, restored a bit more than half, $270,000.
One could make the argument that the finance board was showing fiscal temperance in restoring only some of the funding. As now proposed by the board, school spending in the coming fiscal year will be $34.3 million, an increase of $539,161 over current spending. Combined with municipal spending, it brings the total proposal budget to $58.5 million, raising taxes by 0.55 mills to 20.42.
The problem is that the finance board's action was not responsive to the clear policy signal sent by the people. In addition to attracting a public hearing crowd larger than had been seen in many years, the board received a non-binding petition with about 1,400 signatures asking for full restoration of funding.
The better course would have been for the board to restore the school funding and await the results of the budget referendum, tentatively set for May 6. If voters rejected the budget, the board would then have had justification for making further cuts. School supporters have reason to be upset that they will not get a chance to pass the budget with the funding fully restored.
The Day editorial board meets regularly with political, business and community leaders and convenes weekly to formulate editorial viewpoints. It is composed of President and Publisher Pat Richardson, Editorial Page Editor Paul Choiniere, retired Day editor Lisa McGinley, Managing Editor Tim Cotter and Staff Writer Julia Bergman. However, only the publisher and editorial page editor are responsible for developing the editorial opinions. The board operates independently from the Day newsroom.

Analysts say "Erotic" Podcast Market is Underserved?
Posted by Kristin Wenzel Categories: Internet, Podcasts,
Erotic Podcast Market? Apparently so. The analysts have spoken — podcasting is hot, and the market is jumping for more podcasts. Especially, they seem to imply, "erotic" podcasts. Frank Barnako of Marketwatch writes:
While 40% of the Internet-delivered audio shows focus on music, science, technology and comedy, the most popular category for users is erotica, according to Alex Nesbitt, president of Bella Ventures Inc. 'The supply is not yet meeting market demands,' he wrote in a just-released analysis titled, 'The Podcast Value Chain Report.'"
In other words, we're not sure what category is the most under-served. He also predicts that in the "near future" the market for podcasting tools and accessories will top $400 million. What with the hot trend towards podcasting and the already-booming Internet pr0n business sector, of course "adult" podcasts are popular. However, I wouldn't put my chips on Erotic Podcasting as a sure bet, despite this apparent "popularity."
Think of all the hand-wringing there'll be when there's "too much Porn on the Pods!"

OSX on a Dell? Over Steve's Dead Body!
Posted by Kristin Wenzel Categories: Corporate News, PC / Laptop, Software,
Michael Dell, of Dell Computers, has noted that should Apple "decide to open the MacOS to others," they'd be glad to offer it up over at Dell.
Over Steve Jobs' dead body, I'm guessing the answer will be. Some of the panicked mac-enthusiasts, however, are blinded by paranoia after the announcement that Intel will be Apple's new chip supplier starting in 2006, and see a bleak future for the OS. I'm going to put a stop to this here and now, everyone. When are people going to get it through their heads that just because Intel is going to be Apple's new chip supplier, the world isn't ending? It's hardware, the OS is to remain the same. Apple isn't going to offer MacOS on non-Apple computers, they've already said it. I believe MacDailyNews said it best:
It's a processor. A lump of silicon. Would we have preferred to have PowerPC if it could deliver what Apple needs? Sure. But, if Apple thinks they can get better performance in the future from Intel than from International "Where's That 3GHz G5 You Promised Us Last year?" Business Machines, so be it. What's next, are some Mac users going to burst a blood vessel if Apple changes hard drive suppliers?
Seriously. If people really think that just because Apple switched to a different supplier for one of their components, we're likely to see MacOS X running on Dell's computers, I've got a mile of oceanfront property in Nevada to sell them. Ain't gonna happen.

QuickerTek: Providing Custom-fit High Gain Antennae for Mac Systems
Posted by Kristin Wenzel Categories: Mods / Hacks, PC / Laptop, Wireless / WiFi,
Quickertek is a company I'm keeping my eye on, after reading about their after market antennae built to fit the PowerBook and iBook. Their line of products includes not only range-extenders but also directional and omni-directional antennae that are made to fit your iBook, PowerBook, or any other Apple computer (even the tiniest 12" Aluminum PowerBook G4, the site boasts). And best of all, the parts are made specific to the computer you have, so it seems that their antennae aren't the typical "one-size-fits-all" nonsense that tends to leave notebook users out in the cold.
First to catch my eye:
QuickerTek's Whip Pro antenna gives AirPort, Extreme and Express users that extra boost in signal strength, stability and range. A stronger signal-to-noise ratio grabs and holds wireless signals better. You can use the PC Card [PCMCIA] slot and the antenna at the same time for maximum mobile options.
Rock the hell on. A boost to signal strength and mobility is always welcome on this geek girl's PowerBook. It's about darn time someone came up with some better after-market antenna options for Mac users, and these seem to fit the bill perfectly - especially all the solutions specific to PowerBook/iBook users, who are typically offered very little when it comes to wireless add-on parts. These products look fantastic and I'm already coveting the WhipPro Antenna for the Aluminum PowerBook G4 15".
Another thing that piquéd interest is their iBook antenna, which mentions directional antenna add-ons:
The first antenna for all Apple iBooks with AirPort wireless capability, including AirPort Extreme. Get 5.5dBi of power and improve your wireless range and signal strength. iBook users get connections for other QuickerTek external antennas such as directional antennas for war-driving
Well, I know what I want for Christmas. If I can get my hands on one of these babies, I'll let you know how it goes over, everyone. The prices are somewhat steep but the products seem well made and semi-custom, so I wouldn't mind if I had the cash. At just shy of $100 for the PowerBook and iBook 5.5dBi version, and $70 for the 2dBi version, I'm sorely tempted.

Bacteria That Eat Pollution And Also Generate Electricity!
Posted by Kristin Wenzel Categories: Misc. Tech,
Scientists have been experimenting with bacteria in many forms for a long time, for many applications. Some can transform toxic waste into harmless byproducts. Others have been employed to produce electricity. And now, it looks like science hit the bonus round in discovering bacteria that produce electricity while devouring toxic waste.
"The bacteria are capable of continuously generating electricity at levels that could be used to operate small electronic devices," says Charles Milliken of the Medical University of South Carolina, who conducted the research with colleague Harold May. "As long as the bacteria are fed fuel they are able to produce electricity 24 hours a day."
The overachieving bacteria are called Desulfitobacteria, and they aren't picky eaters - this type of bacteria is already well known for it's ability to detoxify some of the worst man made toxins including many chemical solvents and PCBs. Only recently, though, did research indicate their energetic capability. Could these tiny spores provide a way to clean up some of man's worst messes, and help prevent new ones from forming?

WebObjects Released Free with Tiger Developer Tools
Posted by Kristin Wenzel Categories: Corporate News, Software,
Apple shocked the developer world once again by announcing plans to include WebObjects as a free application, included with OS X 10.4 Tiger Developer tools package. It's a strong tool that is extremely versatile and is the muscle behind Apple's iTunes Music Store, and many other high-profile e-commerce projects. While WebObjects isn't very well known outside the development and design community, those who develop web applications for not only the Mac platform but also the PC, are buzzing about this new announcement. So, you may ask, why all the fuss about WebObjects, and what does it do?
MacWorld UK explains:
WebObjects is a Java-based application-server and builder for Web publishing and internal application building. It's often used for e-commerce applications, and can even produce pure Java applications that can be run on non-Mac platforms.
In other words, this is one hardcore, powerful tool (and very spendy, even after an extreme price drop from $50k to $700 in 2000). Apple previously released the WebObjects deployment software for free with the XServe and OS X Server in 2002 but now plans to offer the powerful tool free of charge with their developer tools bundle.

The Final Cut: "Batman Begins" Better Than Previous Attempts To Follow Up The Original
Like some of our readers, I decided to see Batman Begins the day it came out. When I was a child, Batman was one of my favorite superheros, kind of in the way that Spider-Man or the Hulk is to many young children nowadays. I loved Tim Burton's Batman, and I really enjoyed Batman Returns, but when Joel Schumacher's Batman Forever was released I, like many others, lost interest in the Batman series. I didn't even bother to see Schumacher's Batman & Robin, and when I heard that another film would bare the Batman name I was less than enthused. Once I began to see the previews in theaters and on television, the movie began to peak my interest. As I looked closer and saw a new director, a new Batman, a plot that would show me how my favorite superhero came to be and also tie into the 1989 Batman film, I began thinking this film would be well worth a look. I had my Wednesday night planned, and with a package of candy hidden in my pocket, I entered the theater.

text: The Affordable Care Act (ACA) requires qualified health plans sold through exchanges to cover at least one product in every drug category and class in the U.S. Pharmacopeia list of approved medicines. But insurers still retain considerable leeway in designing pharmacy benefits and setting copays and coinsurance, even with out-of-pocket maximums for individuals and families. Generally, "gold" and "platinum" plans set higher premiums but have broader formularies and lower individual fees. Pharmacy management tools can vary, such as step therapy and utilization review, as well as use of tiers in formularies that set hefty coinsurance on specialty drugs (those that cost $600 a month or more). Unfortunately, many individuals have found it hard to determine which drugs are covered by a plan until after they sign up, despite efforts by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) to make information on provider networks and drug formularies available prior to plan selection.

I puchased some 4x5 Toyo Film Holders (7) which were pretty much like new, they were all sent dark side showing of the Dark Slide so was surprised to find when I opened one up that it had film in it. The film has a shallow semi-circular notch about 8mm wide and 2mm deep, the film has a green/grey emulsion with a very dark grey back. I then took all the holders up to my newly created darkroom (just absolutely light tight not set up as a proper darkroom) and checked them all, they all are loaded with the same film stock.
I have since done a bit of searching on the interweb and it would seem that a lot of suppliers have supplied sheet film with just a single semi-circular notch and the same manufacturers have even used the same notch for different film speeds. All I know at the moment is that it is not Shanghai 100 as even though that also has a semi-circular notch the film has a blue colour which is completely different to this film/
So, as I do not know what the film speed is I was thinking of doing an 4 strip test (ISOs 25, 50, 100 & 400) on one of the sheets of film with each strip based on part of an overall exposure to try to determine the ISO.
Assuming the exposure is based initially for an ISO400 film and with a constant aperture, I realise that I would have to have a number of varying exposures to build up the required exposure for the strip, assuming an aperture chosen to allow 1/200sec at ISO400 the film would be exposed, then the darkslide would be inserted about an inch (giving the strip an exposure for ISO400), for the following strip I would need another exposure of 1/200sec plus a further exposure of 1/100sec before pushing the darkslide in for the strip (giving enough exposure for a speed of ISO100), the following strip would have already had exposures giving ISO100 before a further exposure of 1/50sec which would give an exposure of the remaining uncovered film equalling a film speed of ISO50 before covering up the strip, the last strip will receive a further exposure of 1/25sec which would then give an exposure equal to that required of an ISO25 film.
So just to make sure I have got this correct:
.1/200............1/200 ............1/200...........1/200...........1/200
.....................1/200 ............1/200...........1/200...........1/200
I wouldn't bother with the ISO200 as not many films have been made at that speed. Speeds in Orange are the exposures required to complete the next strip.
So, provided I secure the film with some double sided tape (made less sticky first) does anyone see any problems with my suggestion? If so, any better alternatives other than shooting 4 seperate sheets at the various ISOs?

Central boys' soccer team starting to put it all together
By IAN CLARK
New Hampshire Union Leader
Young players learning in an expanded role and a rocky start.
It's familiar territory for the Manchester Central boys' soccer team. The two-time defending Division I state champions are off to a 1-2-0 start and host Concord (2-0-1) tonight at 6:30 at Gill Stadium.
"We lost a lot of tight games early and were able to sort it out by the end last year," coach Chris LaBerge said. "I suspect we'll be able to do the same this year."
Central fell to Merrimack 3-2 in the season-opener at Southern New Hampshire University and then dropped to 0-2 with a 2-0 loss at Hanover.
With much of the Little Green back end on the young side, LaBerge has asked for one thing from them and that is to improve every game.
"I think they came out nervous in the first game. Even in the 2-0 loss to Hanover I was encouraged," LaBerge said. "I think by October we'll be all right."
Another factor early on is the target on Central's back. A two-time champion can expect the opposition to be revved up.
"The Alvirne game, the intensity of that game was pretty high for the third game of the year," LaBerge said. "The other teams have a playoff mentality against us. It's great for us. I can already see us handling it better."
Central managed a 2-0 win over Alvirne at Gill Stadium Friday night. That result has LaBerge hopeful his Little Green team is on track and Concord will provide a solid measuring stick.
"Concord is good. This is a test for us," LaBerge said. "They are a perennial contender and I expect them to be in the top four all year." Among the other matchups to keep an eye on today on the boys' slate are Coe-Brown of Northwood (2-1-0) visiting Oyster River (2-0-1) in Division II and Gilford visits Laconia in a battle of teams with 2-1-0 records out of the gate in Division III.
In girls' action, unbeatens clash when Nashua South (1-0-1) visits three-time champion Exeter (3-0-0) in Division I, Belmont (3-0-0) visits Prospect Mountain of Alton (2-1-0) in a Division III battle and ConVal of Peterborough (2-1-0) from DII visits Keene (2-0-0) of DI.

WHITE PLAINS, N.Y. -- Some people in White Plains decided that the movies and shopping would be more exciting than football on Super Bowl Sunday.
At The Westchester Mall, the stores were mostly empty Sunday evening, but there were shoppers who welcomed the lack of crowds. Susan Clark and her two daughters purchased shoes instead of watching the game.
"I used to get excited about the commercials, but now they're on YouTube and you can even preview them," Clark said. "And half-time is Beyonce and we just saw her last week lip-syncing at Obama's inauguration."
"My favorite this year is the Budweiser Clydesdale heartbreaker tear-jerker," she said of the commercials she already watched.
Like Clark, others were unenthusiastic as well by the idea of watching the game. Bob Jones, who was reading at The Espresso Bar outside of Nordstrom said, "I just don't find a group of men running around with a ball interesting."
Jones was planning on going home to do laundry. He said Super Bowl Sunday is just Sunday to him.
Not everyone skipping the game was quite as indifferent to sports, though.
Juan Oliveros is from New Rochelle and went to high school with Baltimore Ravens' Ray Rice. Because of that, he said he kind of feels like he should watch, but he's not a football fan.
"I might go home and watch soccer -- the real football," Oliveros said. He has only watched American football live in a stadium.
At the White Plains City Center's Cinema de Lux, patrons were scarce except for a few couples and Bob Jones, who put off his laundry plan for a movie.
Rich Keiling was negotiating what to see with his girlfriend Francisca Lima. He was considering watching Super Bowl, but said he chose to have a date night instead.
"The game doesn't mean anything because the Jets and the Giants aren't in it," Keiling said. "The only thing I care about is my football pool and I can check these in tomorrow's paper."
He took his pool grids out of his pocket and unfolded them. "I don't care who wins. I do like the 49ers, I'm just not feeling it this year."

For people 50 years and older, staying fit and healthy becomes more important than ever. As the body ages, it loses its ability to bounce back from unhealthy lifestyles the way it could in younger days.
Indeed, unhealthy habits for those 50 plus can quickly lead to serious health conditions. Additionally, bad living habits at this age can dramatically lower one's quality of life even when serious problems do not develop.
Here are some tips that can help the 50 plus crowd in choosing healthy lifestyles.
- Set goals – One way to keep on a healthy tack is to aim high by setting goals in your fitness program. For someone who is overweight, they might think about how they would like to look at their ideal weight. For those who enjoy running, they can set a goal of finishing a 5k run or even a half-marathon. By concentrating on accomplishing fitness goals, many people find it is easier to motivate themselves to work on a healthy body every day.
- Build a home gym – The most convenient type of workout facility is a home gym that provides for easy exercise without having to travel anywhere. The costs of building your own home gym can vary depending on the type of exercise equipment that you choose. Simple weights and bike machines are relatively inexpensive. Treadmills and fancy weight or resistance machines require larger investments.
- Join a health club – One way to work out and socialize at the same time is to join a health or fitness club. Some people have problems exercising all alone in a home gym. A membership at a private or public gym allows you to keep fit in the company of others who share the same goal.
- Consider a fitness trainer – Many people do well when they have a professional fitness trainer who works with them on their own specific body requirements. A trainer can quickly assess what a customer needs to get in shape, so there is less trial and error that occurs compared to going it on one's own. Make sure the trainer has the necessary qualifications for the job.
- Go at your own pace – While it is good to set goals, it is generally a good idea to choose a workout program that fits your needs. Pushing oneself too hard can lead to injury and avoidance of the exercise schedule. Try to make the workout routine fun and invigorating. For example, people who like to dance could choose a dance-based exercise program.
- Vet your restaurants – For those who eat out frequently, they should really look closely at the establishments that they frequent. Restaurants often use extra fat, salt, sugar, etc. to stimulate the taste buds of customers. However, you can ruin a good diet very quickly if you are not careful about where you eat out. Even dishes that seem healthy may contain a lot more harmful substances than you realize. Salad dressings, for example, can contain loads of fat, salt and sugar. Look for health-conscious restaurants that have low-sodium and low-fat options and particularly those that will make hard data available on food content.
- Take up gardening – Working in a garden has multiple benefits including providing exercise, fresh air, sunshine, healthy fresh fruits and vegetables, and a feeling of accomplishment. Make sure to include the produce from your garden in your regular diet. Learning about plants that grow throughout the year using permaculture and other methods allows gardeners to have something to tend to regardless of season.
- Eat meals more frequently – Research shows that eating more meals each day can increase the body's metabolism rate. Therefore, instead of the old three square meals a day you might want to consider four or five smaller meals a day instead. Many people actually consumer less when they include regular snacks in the daily diet. The fasting between meals often leads to overeating when mealtime comes around.
- Do not forget about rest – In addition to exercise and diet, rest is an important factor in maintaining fitness. One way that people get burned out quickly is when they fail to rest the body properly giving it time and energy to heal in between workouts. Not resting properly while exercising can also lead to injury. For example, when weight training; make sure to let the body rest properly between sets to avoid injuries to ligaments, tendons, muscle and cartilage.
- Choose outdoor activities for fitness – If you prefer to combine fitness with your other regular pursuits, choose those activites that naturally provide exercise like swimming, skiing, hiking and bicycling. In this way, you can have fun while keeping the body in shape. Travelers might want to consider packages that include camping, trekking and similar physical activities rather those in which you spend more time with sedentary pursuits.

CINCINNATI (AP) — Deep-sea explorers can now recover the remaining gold from a ship that sank off the South Carolina coast in 1857 and more recently has been embroiled in legal fights involving a fugitive treasure hunter, an Ohio judge has ruled in a court order obtained by The Associated Press on Thursday.
Under the deal, approved by Judge Patrick Sheeran of the Franklin County Court of Common Pleas in Columbus on Wednesday, Tampa, Fla.-based Odyssey Marine Exploration can begin working to recover gold bars and coins from the SS Central America next month.
"The SS Central America is one of the greatest shipwreck stories of all time," Greg Stemm, Odyssey's CEO, said in a statement. "We're honored to be working with the receiver and his team to share the next chapter of this historically important shipwreck with the world.
Experts hired to conduct a review of extensive historical materials on the shipwreck estimate the 1857 value of the remaining gold on the ship to be somewhere between $343,000 and $1.4 million, according to Odyssey Marine.
That range in today's values would be between $22 million and $88 million if the gold were melted down. But the sunken treasure's worth could be much higher — or lower — depending on the type and amount of treasure recovered.
For instance, thousands of $10 and $20 gold coins sold by Odyssey Marine from the SS Republic, which sank off the southeastern U.S. in 1865, were sold for an average of about $6,700 per coin, said company spokeswoman Liz Shows.
That's in comparison to the current $1,349 value of an ounce of melted gold.
The expedition to recover the gold isn't the first for the SS Central America.
In 1988, shipwreck enthusiast and Ohio native Tommy Thompson led an expedition that found the vessel and recovered gold that later sold for $50 million to $60 million.
The treasure then became the subject of lawsuits. The litigation involved a group of Ohio investors who paid $12.7 million to fund Thompson's expedition, but say they never saw any returns and workers who said they weren't properly paid for signing confidentiality agreements to keep the ship's location and other information secret.
Thompson has been described as a secretive Howard Hughes-like figure by an attorney on one of the cases. He has been a wanted fugitive since August 2012 after he failed to show up for a key court hearing and was last seen at a mansion he was renting in Vero Beach, Fla.
Court records show that Odyssey Marine Exploration will advance the cost for the recovery. If the company fails to recover the treasure, it will absorb all the costs.
Financial terms of the agreement were not made public, although court records say that Ohio attorney and businessman Ira Kane, who was appointed receiver over Thompson's companies after he fled, will get more than 50 percent of the recovered treasure, to be disbursed in part to shareholders and the investors who financed the 1988 recovery.
"Remember, only 5 percent of this ship was excavated (in 1988)," Kane told The Associated Press on Thursday. "Obviously we hope that there is substantial value there and that we can return that value to our shareholders and to the creditors. If we can do that after 20-some odd years, I think it'd be a job well done."
Thompson remains a shareholder, although it's unclear how he could claim any of the treasure while he's still a fugitive.
"We're delighted and we hope this is going to turn out to be a very lucrative and profitable venture," said Mike Szolosi, the attorney who represents scientists and technicians who allowed Thompson to find and recover the treasure but said they weren't compensated as promised
"But nobody can tell us with certainty that it will be, and we understand that."
The SS Central America was in operation for four years during the California gold rush before it sank after sailing directly into a hurricane in September 1857 in one of the worst maritime disasters in American history; 425 people were killed and thousands of pounds of gold sank with it to the bottom of the ocean.

Justin Bieber and Adam Levine Hit the Studio
Collabo alert! Pals Justin Bieber and Adam Levine, who have been known to meet up on the court and shoot some hoops together, hit the studio on Monday (March 12). The Biebs is hard at work on his new album 'Believe,' and he's called upon Timbaland and Usher to help with the mission. Now, 'The Voice' coach Levine is on board and getting his hands dirty with the teen idol.
The Biebs tweeted from the studio, teasing that there is a "big idea" on the horizon and used the "#supergroup" hashtag, which could mean that others are involved. OMG, what could it be? No fair that he's teasing us. We need more info or we're going to burst.
long night in the studio. good seeing big bro @adamlevine – we got a big idea coming! #newSupergroup
— Justin Bieber (@justinbieber) March 13, 2012
Scooter Braun, who manages the teen, also tweeted about the studio fireworks these two were creating, posting: "i think they were battling at TEMPLE RUN," referring to the handheld game. He also shared the photo of the dynamic, hat-wearing duo.
What do you think of this collab, PopCrush readers? Will Justin Bieber and Adam Levine make beautiful music together? We all know how well Levine's last partnership went. It resulted in a smash hit you may have heard — 'Moves Like Jagger.'

And since the director is the same the delivery of the jokes will be very similar, probably not up to your tastes.
Personally I loved how at the start they parodied any anime with your no-personality protagonist running late just to put in some nonsense like running late eating curry and ramen, and end it all saying that if there was no magic and gundams it was going to be boring. And how they trolled tadakuni into wearing a skirt XD

The only thing to keep in mind is that everyone only saw 1 episode so far, so as far as comparisons go no one can honestly tell you how it's gonna stack up to school rumble. There's only a certain number of times jokes can be repeated before it gets stale, and many comedies fail halfway through because it got boring to keep seeing similar gags. Case in point I always felt school rumble jumped the shark in the 2nd season, plus there was only so far you could really take misunderstandings before it got stale.

This anime reminds me of Cromartie High School. Takanori is like Maeda, always the victim caught up in the act at the expense of others. Even then Cromartie at least had some sort of a flow. So far it's okay, it would be good if all the acts were somewhat connected. I will watch more to see if it gets better.
I can't even compare this to School Rumble even if the same director is involved in making this. The source material is totally different and working in different humours to slightly different audiences. School Rumble had so much energy and liveliness because it had tonnes of visual humours while this one seems to be set on situational and wordplay humours.
I always say people are entitled to their opinions. Especially with jokes, it's hard to please everybody.

I'm glad I followed my friend recommendation to watch this. I laughed so hard. My favorite part on the first episode was the scary story, especially Yoshitake's XDD
At first I thought Hidenori character will play the role similar like Nichijou's Mai, where he will be the most calm and never get his friend to make him go nuts. I relieved he's not Mai, he's much better and funnier XD
Definitely on weekly watch list this season

In any case not sure what else to say. The show is pretty funny if you aren't immediately hostile towards it in that gives you chuckles sort of way. If you're the sort of person that needs cute girls to enjoy this sort of show though then this is one to steer clear of. That's my short take.

I'm fine with folks not liking this because it's not about cute girls, which is just as valid as me not liking the fact that 90% of all shows are. Just don't begrudge the fact that someone actually decided to make a show that's different than almost everything else, and doesn't make the male characters gender-neutral to appeal to the same audience that likes those 90% of shows. Anime is a big enough medium that there should be something for everyone's tastes.
Of course, none of that would matter if this series weren't funny - fortunately, it really is. In the end that's really all that matters - I'll watch a cute girls show if its well-written.

You know, I dropped Gintama because it just had too many episodes for the show it was. I loved the show -- great overarching plot that tied in with the whimsical episode-by-episode humor when it needed to -- but it was just too much of a commitment and it wasn't One Piece. But this show is hilarious, and it's only 12 episodes. I was cracking up, thinking about how much it reminded me of Gintama, only to see why that would be so :P Sold. Also, epic ED is epic.

This is the first anime that's me laugh so much in a long time. Oh man, it's great! After the first initial scene of randomness and hearing Sugita Tomokazu's voice again, I knew this was gonna be a funny one for me. And I had no idea the director of Gintama was directing this, but yes, I definitely felt the Gintama vibes/pace throughout the episode. This one's gonna be my comedic break from all the rest of the stuff i'm watching this season.

Which is why this show is awesome in my view. It's a SOL from the DUDES perspective. and no forced drama, just dudes acting like dudes doing a buncha random dumb shit. This speaks to me more as a 23 year old guy who not hard on the latest stuff hyped by Megami.
Then you add in the EXCELLENT comedic timing by director Shinji Takamatsu and great seiyuu acting (Sugita FTW!!!!!) And this is a crackerjack comedy show.
Ami-Chan made great point about Gintama too. I LOVED that show in college and every once in a while I 'll watch a repeat but just like most long ass sitcoms, you just kinda get tired of it. Don't know why, cause I think the quality is still high. Guess it just lost the new car smell. And it is true, Takamatsu's shows can be rather manic in tone. But so can stuff like Family Guy or Tex Avery. All depends on how it rubs ya.
I think my detente with anime is over, this is real refreshing in a lot of ways. Put it down as a keeper for me.

Have you ever wondered what your favorite Fire players are like off the pitch? Well, we aim to please here at Always on the Inside. Each week we are going to sit down with a different player to get answers to those pesky Burning Questions.
In this edition we sat down with the easygoing Jay Nolly. A Littleton, Colo. native with a great head of hair, Jay had an incredible four-year goalkeeping career with the storied Indiana University soccer program, where he led the Hoosiers to back-to-back NCAA Division I National Championships in 2003 and 2004. Jay took some time to answer our Burning Questions about playing for legendary coach Jerry Yeagley, his love for the outdoors and why "Superman" just might be an appropriate nickname for the laid-back 'keeper.
Always on the Inside: You've been living in Chicago for almost a year now. How are you liking it? Do you have a spot that you frequent enough to have a standing order?
Jay Nolly: My spot is actually Starbucks in the morning. There's a little shop next to where I live. Me and my wife know all the girls that work there; we talk to them all the time. I usually have a 35 minute drive with traffic in the morning, so it's nice to have a cup of coffee on the way. They see me walk in the door and they have it ready. I'm simple; I just get a tall, mild coffee with cream. The just know. They're like, "Same thing? Tall?" And I'll just say, "Yup."
There's a another place we go to once in a while; it's called DMK, the burger bar. Whenever we go there I'll have an Allagash White, so they'll just ask, "Another Allagash?"
AOTI: You're one of the few guys on the team that does not reside in the city. What's the best part about living out in the 'burbs?
JN: It's easier for me and my wife. We both grew up in the suburbs. Neither of us have ever really lived in a big city; even in Vancouver we lived in the suburbs. You know, just having grocery stores and restaurants around, there's less traffic, better parking, it was just less stress for us. We're pretty easy going people.
AOTI: Do you have any pets?
JN: We have a dog, a Yorkshire Terrier named Hercules.
AOTI: You have been described as an avid fly fisherman. Have you found any good fishing holes in Illinois?
JN: I've been fishing a little bit; it's back to my Midwest roots which is Bass fishing. I was on the IU Bass Fishing Team. I've gotten to Bass fish a little bit more. I've set up some things to meet friends once the salmon start running in the river to go fly fishing in Michigan City or down lower.
AOTI: Best fishing movie?
JN: It's got to be "A River Runs Through It." Great actors, great place.
AOTI: Do you like other outdoor sports or activities in addition to fishing?
JN: Pretty much everything outdoors, I love. When I was younger we did a lot of camping, white water rafting, canoeing. I have my own one-man pontoon boat that me and a couple buddies have taken fly fishing out on the river. But I pretty much just love the outdoors. I grew up with two older brothers and we were pretty much in the mountains all the time.
AOTI: What was it like winning back-to-back national championships with Indiana University?
JN: It's unreal. That's just one of those things, you're playing for a school, you're in college. I was younger but the history that the school has to keep that tradition going, especially cause it was Jerry Yeagley's last year and then it was Mike Freitag's first year my last two year. It was sending Coach Yeagley out on a great note because he's probably the iconic figure for college soccer. It's something that I feel is so fresh even though it was eight, nine years ago.
AOTI: What was it like to play for Jerry Yeagley?
JN: It's unreal. He respects every player and all he really asks of you is to give an honest effort. He doesn't like people to cut corners. I think that's why the school has done so well over the years is that they just get honest players that work hard.
I'd play for Yeagley over and over again. It's just the person that he is; he still calls his players. I got a call from him last week and I've been out of college for nine years. He still reaches out to players; that level of respect that he has for people that he's coached is just unreal.
AOTI: There are currently five people in the front office who also went to IU, so we have a few Hoosier-themed questions for you. First off, which pizza place do you prefer: Mother Bear's, Mad Mushroom or Avers?
JN: Can I say Pizza Express? The Big Ten. It was a large pizza, ten breadsticks and two Cokes; that was the go to. It was $10 or $11. That was the best when you got cheese and ranch dipping sauces. That was the go to for us, we only did Pizza Express.
The soccer team was kind of sponsored by it but the cups were the best cups to have; they had IU Soccer on them. If you put ice and anything in them, they were just the best cups. We had like 35 of them at our house. I don't know what it was about the cups, it was just one of those things.
AOTI: Best Bloomington bar: Killroy's-Sports or Nick's?
JN: That one's tough because I knew some of the guys that worked at Nick's and I have a jersey that's hanging up in Nick's. That's the classic place. For happy hour and a college lifestyle it was Killroy's. But now if I were to go back, it'd be Nick's for sure.
AOTI: Favorite Indiana movie: "Hoosiers" or "Breaking Away"?
JN: "Breaking Away." One, because I've jumped off those same quarries that they went to. And Little 500 is just awesome. "Hoosiers" is such a classic but I would say "Breaking Away."
AOTI: Switching gears now, while you were in Vancouver you saved a young pitch invader. First, how does it feel to be a hero and second, how often do you deter pitch invaders?
JN: I've had people run across the field before but that was the first time that someone was actually close. It was just a little kid and he was running out and laughing. I think he got away from his brother or something, and just started running onto the field. Luckily the ball was on the other half. The only thing I thought about was to get him off real quick, so I picked him up and turned around but no one was there to hand him to, so I had to run over to the side. Luckily the ball never came down to our end but they kept on playing; nobody stopped the game. So it feels good to feel like a hero, to save a life.
AOTI: Who would you consider your celebrity doppelganger? We want to get your thoughts first because we have someone in mind.
JN: When I was younger, people thought I looked like Heath Ledger from "10 Things I Hate About You" because of my nose and smile or something.
AOTI: We think Dean Cain.
JN: I've heard that. And also the other guy that played Superman later. Brandon Roth. In Vancouver the weight trainers called me Superman; they said I looked like him but only when he was Superman. I don't know, usually when I show up to training I have my hair done and I look presentable, so they would just always call me Superman, cause that's just what I look like, I guess.

Statewide Director, Liko A'e Native Hawaiian Program
The Office of Hawaiian Affairs (OHA) has awarded the Liko Aʻe Native Hawaiian Scholarship Program a $100,000 grant to provide non-traditional Native Hawaiian students in higher education opportunity for scholarships. This grant is in alignment with OHA's strategic education plan to provide assistance to Native Hawaiians in educational opportunities at all levels.
"These funds will help Liko A'e to disburse another 40-50 more students who might not have had a chance to apply to any other funders in the beginning of the year," says Malia Davidson, statewide director of Liko A'e. "Funds are tight for many families and we are grateful that OHA has recognized the need in our communities."
Liko A'e Native Hawaiian Scholarship Program began in 2003 with funding from the U.S. Department of Education, Native Hawaiian Education Act. The program is based at University of Hawai'i Maui College with satellite centers at Hawai'i, Kaua'i, and Leeward Community Colleges.
The program has successfully funded thousands of Native Hawaiian students throughout the country from associate to professional degree programs. The goal of Liko A'e is to sustain and provide support to Hawaiian students in higher education. Scholars also support organizations or persons needing their assistance as a community service requirement. Last year over 5000 hours were performed while maintaining a satisfactory grade point average.
The application period will open June 1 and close June 30. Applicants are required to provide Liko A'e with an official transcript from the school last attended and their Student Aid Report (SAR) provided from the Free Application for Student Aid (FAFSA). For more information on the requirements of the scholarship or to apply, visit likoae.org. For questions, contact (808) 984-3366 or email email@example.com.

Hollister man arrested on suspicion of arson
Hollister man arrested on suspicion of arson
HOLLISTER, Calif. —
A 33-year-old Hollister man was arrested Wednesday on suspicion of igniting two cars on fire.
Firefighters were alerted by a 911 caller that a blaze was spreading from cars towards a house on the 600 block of A Street.
"The Hollister Fire Department was able to extinguish the fire in time to avoid the fire spreading to the house," police Sgt. Don Pershall said.
Firefighters found evidence at the scene indicating that the blaze was intentionally ignited, Pershall said. Police joined the arson investigation and identified Eugene Frankovic as a prime suspect.
Frankovic was arrested a few hours after the fire and booked into the San Benito County Jail on arson charges. He bail was set at $100,000.

I visited the Thai Square Spa in the heart of Covent Garden recently – and to be honest I was worried after this little debacle. Thankfully, as soon as I arrived at the Thai Square Spa I knew I was dealing with a different kettle of fish…
Inside the Spa, in the reception area which is spotless, is an area for nails and toes, and a rather cool eating area (I didn't have time to eat there or I would've I love Thai food!). The treatments take place downstairs in a number of immaculate and gorgeously designed treatment rooms which I had a nosy at…
I was taken downstairs by my therapist (I forget her name – it was quite a traditional Thai name, sorry!) where I took off my shoes and put on slippers. I was then shown to a changing area, where I was presented with a locker, and I changed into robes and locked all my belongings safely away.
When I was ready I was shown into the treatment room which was HUGE with a gorgeous copper bath and old bricked ceilings. Seriously beautiful treatment room.
The first thing I had was a foot wash, in a bath with some salts and orchids – the therapist (who was fab) cleaned my feet and gave me a cup of Thai herbal tea (at the RIGHT temperature) then then the treatment began.
I had the Thai Herbal Healer treatment which begins with a Thai herbal poultice (which I've never seen before! See image below if you don't know what it is) followed by a massage (1hr is back neck and shoulder, 2hr for full body but the lady definitely covered my legs and feet too).
Trust me I have had my share or TRAUMATIC treatments lately, so much so that it makes me wonder who pays to be tortured. This treatment at Thai Square Spa was just….heaven. I do not say that lightly. Everything was just right, the atmosphere, the therapist, also how professional everything was. I always knew what was happening, everything was explained clearly to me.
I was completely relaxed and soothed after the massage, it was the right amount of pressure – not painful but not so gentle that it was pointless. I had another cup of tea after my treatment and sadly, went on my way.
Verdict: I'm trying to think of a clever Thai pun but I can't think of one. But this spa is totally worth a visit.

NHIAA Boys' Hockey: Memorial wins battle of the bestBy MARK QUIRK
New Hampshire Union Leader
January 26. 2013 9:25PM
SALEM - The Manchester Memorial hockey team did in one period what no other team has been able to do in an entire game against Salem on Saturday night at the Icenter.
The Crusaders scored three times in the final frame, including two by Brendan Sullivan, to claim a 4-3 win over the Blue Devils in a battle between the top two teams in Division I.
Sullivan tied things up 3-3 at 9:19 of the third period and then scored the game winner with 1:11 left to play. It was the junior forward's first game back since suffering a shoulder injury in a game against Hanover on Jan. 12.
"Before the game I asked him to pick up where he left off," Memorial coach Mark Putney said about his leading scorer. "He certainly did that."
Memorial is now 9-1 and Salem, which hadn't given up more than two goals in a game prior to Saturday, drops to 8-2-1.
The momentum swung in Salem's favor when Cody Soucy scored his second goal of the game midway through the third period to put the Blue Devils up 3-2.
But less than a minute later, Sullivan scored the first of his two goals to tie it up 3-3.
Back-and-forth action ensued and once again it was Sullivan who struck.
He raced into the Blue Devil zone on the left side and faked around a Salem defenseman to create a two on one. He then fired a shot over the glove of Blue Devil goalie Nick Phair (26 saves) for the winner.
"The defender pinched and I went around him real quick," Sullivan said. "Then I just took a shot and it went in."
It was Salem that took advantage of the Olympic sized sheet early on as they got out to a 2-0 lead. Shane Morin scored the only goal of the first period to make it a 1-0 game and then Soucy netted his first at 4:21 of the second to make it 2-0.
"They started out good," Salem coach Mark McGinn said about his squad. "Then we had a little lull. Neither team gave up."
Memorial finally got on the board when Jacob Boylan scored on the power play at 8:46 to make it 2-1, which is the way the second period ended.
The Crusaders started the third period on a power play but couldn't capitalize. It wasn't until shortly after it was killed off they struck.
Sullivan had the puck behind the Salem net and just before he took a hit was able to send a pass to a cutting Ethan Pollock. Pollock one-timed a shot and it was tied 2-2 at 2:13 of the third.
Soucy then gave his team the lead again with a nice move from the left wing to beat Memorial goalie Joshua Jacob (18 saves) at 8:34 just to have it tied up again by Sullivan at 9:19.
"We talked about how this was going to be a character test being down two goals," Putney said. "They were hungry in the second and they came out in the third and worked hard."

Using the tele alone makes an OK contact print but enlarging from a normal lens is much sharper
so how about go the other way
Turn the not too well corrected Adon into something more like the Bergheim in feel
Very long focus and while keeping it's relative "sharpness" intact adding to the aberrations already present or making better use of them for portraiture
How about an ImaDon?
No, no
not a good name at all
An imagon aperture disk
Softness and yet able to focus on GG without a chemical focus issue as in the bergheim
Focus shift, yes
that's as far as I've gone. Thought it would be a fun exercise
I used the imagon disk as a waterhouse stop

Stories on Values - by Children for Children
Human Values Foundation: Stories on Values Competition
The Human Values Foundation (HVF) is a foundation that supplies materials to schools to help embed a positive values culture. It was formed in 1994 to encourage, promote and develop human values among young people through its educational programmes, publications, exhibitions, conferences and staff exploration sessions. The HVF is a non-denominational and independent body, which does not represent or work on behalf of any particular religion or spiritual interest.
Their mission is to develop, promote and encourage an uplifting education process for children, teachers and all who look after children; to provide universal resources that foster lasting values, which contribute to an integrated, ethical, moral, emotional, social and spiritual education.
