'. Water system order upheld By Ron Maloney Staff Writer BULVERDE — Bulverde and the Guadalupe-Bianco River Authority have enjoyed a very good week in state and federal courts. The 250th Judicial District Court in Travis County Thursday upheld the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality's final order approving Bulverde^ state application to build a municipal water system with the Guadalupe-Blanco River Authority. Judge Darlene Byrne also denied a motion that TCEQ be required to rehear Bexar Metropolitan Water District's competing — and disallowed — application to provide water to western Bulverde. Bulverde and GBRA argued that for BexarMet to expand into Bulverde would be exceeding its service limits designated by the Texas Legislature. Mayor Bill Cole praised the ruling against BexarMet, which sought to challenge a state-issued "certificate of convenience and need" for Bulverde to establish and manage its own water district — with construction and management help from GBRA. "The ruling basically affirms our CCN," Cole said Friday. "The City of Bulverde is ecstatic. We've fought very Chapa appointed to full term on board By Ron Maloney Staff Writer SAN ANTONIO — Former New Braunfels Mayor Pro Tem Ramon Chapa Jr. has been appointed by acclamation to a full term on the Edwards Aquifer Authority board of trustees. The board Tuesday unanimously voted Chapa to a full term because he was unopposed in his bid to remain as District 8 director (New Braunfels and Comal County.) Chapa was one of five unopposed candidates from single-member districts appointed. The others were Bonnie Conner, Levi Jackson III (Bexar County), Kenneth Barnes (Hays County) and Hunter Schuehle (Medina County). In addition, Joe Parker was appointed to fill the Uvalde County position that opened in July.

The Canyon High School Cougar marching band. By Leigh Jones Staff Writer Shade was a hot commodity Friday morning as crowds packed the sides of San Antonio Street and waited patiently for the 2004 Comal County Fair Parade to start. "Scouts" arrived early to stake out the best, and coolest, spots. More than an hour before the first fire truck crawled slowly down the route, lo Ann Brown was setting up rows of chairs for 65 members of the New Braunfels High School class of 1954. "We were going to be on a float, but we decided people would rather watch than ride," she said. Brown's classmates waved as the F air and Rodeo queens rode by, perched on the back of convertibles, and they clapped politely for the Canyon I Ugh School Band. But when the NBHS football team cruised by. accompanied by pounding rap music, they stood to their feet. "The music is quite a bit different now than when we were in school,'' said Glenn Timmerman. Musical taste among teenagers was not the only difference Timmerman noticed. "The parade would have been over within 15 minutes back then," he said. Instead of watching for a quarter hour, the crowds were entertained for more than two hours. They cheered for the clown, Leon Coffee, and laughed at the antics of a group of unicyclers. lust about everyone on the sidelines had someone special on one of the floats to wave to. See PARADE, Page 5A Child Advocacy Board awarded state grant for director By Ron Maloney Staff Writer Comal County took a giant step this week toward creating a program to integrate treatment of child abuse victims with investigation and prosecution. The local Child Advocacy Board Wednesday was awarded a $32,000 state "start up" grant that will enable it to hire an executive director for a children's advocacy center and begin the search for a facility. A children's advocacy center is designed to ald victims of sexual, physical or emotional abuse by consolidating interviews by helping professionals, counselors, investigators and prosecutors into one place at one time — in a non-threatening, "child-friendly" environment. The benefits include better assessing victims' needs, reducing the need for a child to recount — and relive — abuse and streamlined prosecution of abusers. The grant award comes at a time when another group including law enforcement, counselors and officials at McKenna Memorial Hospital are working to bring to Comal County a Sexual Assault Nurse Examiners program. SANE nurses, as they are known, are the first link in the investigation of an alleged sexual assault. They examine vic tims and collect evidence to be used in prosecuting their attacker. District Attorney Dib Waldrip is involved in both efforts. Chairman of the Child Advocacy Board, Waldrip said lilt* CAC would be a huge benefit to abuse victims. "One of the problems in these cases is a child has to be interviewed again and again. The doctor needs to talk to them; the police need to talk to them; CPS needs to talk to them; my staff needs to talk to them.... We're just asking them to relive a terrible situation again and again," Waldrip said.

The God of Death is The Bringer of LifeMature
The only thing that Thane felt as he watched the odd looking sword cut through Sebastian, like a hot knife through butter, was pure undiluted hatred and rage. He didn't feel the pain, but only a small tugging at his back, as huge arm-length wings that were the colour of night sprouted from his back. He didn't feel the freezing cold as his body started to turn dark red, looking as if he were covered in blood. This was Thane's true form, his God form, he had become a monster, he became something that didn't belong to the human world and Thane realised that as he stepped out of the trap. The candles and the spell used against him did nothing anymore once he was in his true form, once he truly became the God of Death, there was nothing left of Thane or Dante in him, he only knew himself as the God of Death and he would rather die than see Alexander Philippe become a God.
"Yes! That's what I want, I want to be like that I want to be like you!" Alexander shouted laughing manically, but Thane could hear it underneath the manic laughter, Alexander was terrified of death and of the underworld.
Thane was silent, there was no need for needless chatter, as he produced his ice blue sword from thin air and held it in front of his face, walking slowly towards Alexander like a demented statue come to life. If Sebastian was conscious to see this, the very sight of Thane would scar him.
Alexander's manic grin faltered as he began to back away from the advancing God of Death, his light grey eyes swivelling around the room trying to find a way out. But there was none, the room was now nothing more than four black walls, cold to touch and heaving with shadows that clawed at Alexander and tried to drag him in them.
"Did you know that Gabriel is in the Netherworld?" Alexander asked his manic grin returning as Thane faltered at the name, but it was only for a moment, before Thane started his advancement again.
"Don't you find it strange that you had, apparently, killed him with an ordinary knife and not with one of those blue blades?" Alexander now was visibly shaking with fear, his body only just a few feet away from the vicinity of the shadows claws. If Alexander tripped backwards, the shadows would have him instantly.
However, Thane stopped walking then his mind remembering every detail of that night. But Thane was sure it was just an ordinary knife, he remembered every detail so vividly that it was strange to even conceive the idea that the weapon that killed Gabriel wasn't a knife at all, but the blue blade, the one that Thane was holding at this very moment.
"Yes, yes you're starting to remember aren't you?" Alexander nodded enthusiastically, "Gabriel wanted to die, he knew that you loved him, so he used you to kill him, to save him for immortality and become human in his next life. Did you know that? A God has two souls, one that is immortal, the God soul, and one that is mortal, the human soul. Once a God dies their immortal soul goes to the Netherworld, then their mortal soul is left and in their next life a God becomes a human. Hell, you would have met Gabriel thousands of times by now."
Some small part of Thane cried out at the news, that Gabriel had used him to become mortal. It had nothing to do with protecting the woman; Gabriel stepped in front of her so he could have a chance at a mortal life, to be human. But the other part of Thane, the majority of him, was still that of the God of Death, nothing of that sort of trivia was of use to him now, all that mattered was getting Alexander Philippe, the demon of the netherworld back in the netherworld.
"I send you, Alexander Philippe…" Thane started.
"No! No! Not this, not again! I will not be sent back there, I will not be sent back there!" Alexander shouted, his eyes were wild with fear and he brandished his sword in front of Thane, waving it around dangerously.
"Back to the Netherworld…" The sword started to brighten and turn red, it remembered Alexander's blood and at that Alexander doubled over in pain. The undead, like Alexander Philippe, would only feel real pain if their blood or bones were presented to them. This was the only way to kill a demon of the Netherworld.
"I made this sword from her you know, I made this sword from her bones, and it's a sword that can kill a God!" Alexander shouted, but he was already a crumpled heap, his body shook violently and he only held the odd looking sword with a small feat of will power.
"I bind you to shadowy chains, I erase your mortal memory and I, the God of Death, send you back to the Netherworld." Thane finished, plunging the sword into Alexander, like a knife through butter and without hesitation kicked him into the claws of the shadows, dragging him until he disappeared completely.
It was only then, when Alexander had disappeared into the Netherworld, that the room changed back to its original form and only then did the God of Death return back to the human form, to Thane. Exhaustion fell upon him, but also a searing pain and then the visions started, it wasn't long but instantly Thane knew who was dying at that very moment.
Sebastian was still breathing, but barely, the blood pooled around him and the glow of life around him was starting to wane to an almost grey colour.
"No, no, I can save you, I can save you." Thane shouted, kneeling down in front of Sebastian and pressing his hands against the wound, trying to convince himself that the God of Death could save a life.
"Thane…" Sebastian coughed, his icy blue eyes only now gazing at Thane through half-lidded eyes.
"It's going to be fine; I'm going to save you." Thane cooed softly, his voice becoming weak as the tears started to form, but he steeled himself, now was not the time to cry, he had to save Sebastian and the only person who could do that was Antonio.
Picking up Sebastian, as easily as a rag doll and holding him in his arms, Thane suddenly realised how fragile human beings actually were, how easily they could die and how short their lives were. But the fear of death never stopped them from living; they just kept going on as if they could refuse death when it came.
"I'm going to save you." Thane whispered, before disappearing from the world.
"I can't Thane." Antonio simply replied it was not out of spite or coldness; he was truly confused that he couldn't save Sebastian, couldn't give life.
"I don't understand, there has to be something that you can do!" Thane shouted, he was nearly crying now, Sebastian was beginning to accept death, Thane could feel it, but he didn't want to.
"T-There's nothing, I-I don't know, I don't know why I can't." Antonio was at a loss for words, he couldn't understand, he didn't understand and this scared him.
"He was stabbed by a Netherworld weapon; our powers cannot help him now." Nyx replied coldly from the lounge room, she was absently stroking Roy's head, who was sitting on the floor in front of her, drinking tea and being oblivious to what was happening on the other side of the room.
Thane didn't say anything to Nyx, she knew that this would happen, this was another punishment and a test to see what Thane would do.
"A God as two souls; the immortal and the mortal." Thane whispered, remembering what Alexander had told him.
It was only then did Nyx get up, her rage clearly marring her perfect features "don't," she simply said, but Thane had already decided.
"I think it's time Antonio, to see our family again." Thane simply said to his brother, who smiled instantly as the confusion was washed away.
"I, Thane, the God of Death, give my life to Sebastian Philippe, exchanging my immortal soul to give Sebastian life." Thane whispered, he couldn't hear Nyx scream and shout, as he bent towards Sebastian, their lips barely touching.
Thane could feel it, something was leaving him, he felt the chill of death and for once in two thousand years Thane felt human.

Large 4 bedroom lake house - water views from every room. 200 feet of waterfront, beautifully landscaped, modern interior, large chef's kitchen, outdoor BBQ and fire pit, paddle boards, kayaks (one and two-person), fishing rods, life jackets, two docks, swim out to the island raft at the town beach from the dock or kayak over to the rope swing! Abuts town forest - lots of wildlife, nature trails, mini golf, and of course relaxing!
My 3 nephews and their families rented the house for a couple of nights. They loved the house and thoroughly enjoyed the lake, even in October. Devin was always available and responsive to any requests. One caveat - there are only 3 bedrooms. Although sofas and air mattresses are available, larger parties should be aware of this.
We had a family vacation here recently and we all (7 adults, an 8-year old, and a 10 month old) fit comfortably in the space. The safari bedroom and the twin-beds room are downstairs with a bathroom that has a large walk-in shower. The green bedroom (available with a crib) is upstairs and has an air mattress bed (the raised kind) that my sister and brother-in-law said was comfortable. The upstairs bathroom has a shower/tub combination. We were able to set up an air mattress in the office area, and would have been able to put another one downstairs. It's hard to find a home with enough sleeping space and the right set up of rooms so I was very pleased.
The living room has a wall of windows (and a great, huge couch) and overlooks the lake. We enjoyed the hammock set up right near the water, and a few of us enjoyed the kayak's and paddleboards. My brother-in-law caught a few fish (and released them) off the dock. One night we had a campfire and made s'mores.
There was a lot of counter space in the kitchen, and they have a dishwasher. The downside was that there are only two chairs at the square table - but we were all able to eat together in the living room because there is a lot of space there. We re-washed the dishes before we used them because some of them were a little grimy, but I'm not sure that's the homeowners problem as much as the people who stayed there last. Overall the home was pretty clean (not sparkling, but good) and you can tell he's still doing some renovations to improve the space.
Fantastic stay - very relaxing home to sit back, relax and catch up. Oh - you absolutely have to visit Rota Spring Farm and get their ice-cream. Seriously the best ice-cream you'll ever eat in your life.

It never ceases to amaze me how much difficulty some parents find in encouraging their child to practice playing a musical instrument. Very few younger aged students will practice of their own volition. Not many five year old kids will say to their parents "Now please excuse me, I am about to head into my room to practice the piano for the next hour or two". However, we have found that the more actively parents are involved, the more the child will feel there is a reason to practice. Read more

SANTA CLARA, Calif. – We laid an egg.
Those were some of the words defensive players for the San Diego Chargers uttered after the team's disappointing performance last week at Seattle, giving up 243 rushing yards to the Seahawks.
Chargers head coach Mike McCoy said his coaching staff challenged players on the defensive side of the ball to play better, especially in regards to consistent tackling and getting after the quarterback.
To their credit, the starters on defense responded, holding the San Francisco 49ers to 69 total yards on four drives in the first half, and just 22 yards on the ground.
"I thought it was an overall great team effort," Chargers inside linebacker Donald Butler said. "Definitely, a little more focus than last week. We had something to prove after last week."
Chargers outside linebacker Jarret Johnson described the loss to Seattle more bluntly: "We got our (butts) handed to us."
San Diego defensive lineman Corey Liuget served as the catalyst to a bounce-back performance for the Chargers. The 6-foot-2, 300-pounder could not be blocked by the 49ers in the opening quarter, and lived in San Francisco's backfield.
Liuget finished with four tackles (two tackles for a loss), a strip sack and forced fumble, two quarterback hurries and a pass deflection in just over a quarter of work against one of the better offensive lines in the NFL.
"When he gets hot, makes plays early and gets rolling, he's as good as anybody in the league," Johnson said about Liuget. "If he keeps playing at that level, people are going to recognize him. He is a big-time talent. And as he continues to progress, get older, better and more consistent, everybody's going to know his name."
Like the rest of his teammates, Liuget said last week's loss to Seattle served as extra motivation to play better against a talented offense such as San Francisco.
"We were motivated as a defense and as a team," Liuget said. "We got our butts handed to us last week. And we just knew for a fact what we had to come into this game and do -- tackle and make sure we get off of the field."
Everyone around the league knows how dangerous San Diego's offense is, how tough the Chargers are to stop on that side of the ball. But San Diego's defensive players made a statement on Sunday against the 49ers that they will have to be reckoned with as well.
"Our energy and excitement was up, and we played like it," Chargers safety Eric Weddle said. "When our front and backfield play together and do what we're coached to do, we can play really well."

I'm having trouble with the audio in my car, which I think might be either the bluetooth or the headunit, which I have posted in the audio forum here: http://www.bimmerforums.co.uk/forum/...-audio-t94158/
To inspect the headunit, I took took both the climate and heated seats controls out of the dashboard, un-clipping the wiring for the climate controls in the process. When I re-attached the units, both the heated seats and audio controls are dead.
The ignition was off, so I don't think I have fused them. I have also carefully checked the connections twice and they appear fine. I have checked all the fuses (they both share one, it's 29 or 31 I think) and their other fuses and they seem fine.
The units are linked by a wire, which I do not think I have damaged, but it may be that is the culprit.
Or is there some other technical thing you need to do when reconnecting these items?
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

This is where taking the love of sports goes slightly too far. Mike McWain of Pasco decided it would be a good idea to pay homage to the game of baseball by getting iconic baseball images tattooed across his back and arms. The "mural" includes famous ballplayers such as Babe Ruth, Joe DiMaggio, Ted Williams, Lou Gehrig and Ty Cobb (just to name a few). The tattoo of Yankees stadium apparently took six to nine hours to complete. All told McWain spent around $10k and spent 180 hours getting the tattoos completed.
via Tri-City Herald
"The first sport I ever remember watching on television was baseball," McWain said. "I was about 8 years old, and I watched the whole game, which was unusual for me. I think Pete Rose was playing."
"There were a lot of reasons I waited so long to finish this," he said. "At the time I got the first tattoo done, my son was born. I had a family to support and that had to come first, plus I wasn't making a lot of money back then to justify the expense."

In last night's episode of Wolf Hall, Mark Rylance's Thomas Cromwell continued his master class in a skill that comes in handy these days: dealing with the caprices of the very wealthy.
He subtly tells the Boleyn girls that he wants an official government job, perhaps being in charge of the jewel house. By the end of the episode the King has taken ownership of that plan without knowing it came from Cromwell to start with. "Why shouldn't I employ the son of an honest blacksmith?" he asks Cromwell. "Everything that you are, everything that you have, will come from me."
The BBC's £7 million adaptation of Hilary Mantel's novels is a cautionary tale of what can happen when so much power and wealth lies in the hands of a single employer.
To today's viewer Henry VIII is not just a monarch but a boss, and a capricious, entitled one with a list of unpredictable demands and unrealistic expectations to boot. He is the current version of Miranda Priestly, the magazine editor in The Devil Wears Prada who demands that her assistant get her the unpublished Harry Potter manuscript because "the twins want to know what happens next".
There are Henrys everywhere in modern London: City CEOs, icons, moguls, magnates, tycoons, royals — and an increasing number of ultra high net work individuals (UHNWIs) who demand the total devotion of their closest staff.
Often there is no separation between their social and professional lives so working for them is a 24/7 job involving a non-stop schedule of travelling, time zone juggling and diary organisation. You will probably be paid well for your services but make no mistake, this is a vocation, more like being a domestic servant than an employee. Working for one means you will receive extraordinary requests, as Cardinal Thomas Wolsey, Thomas Cromwell or Thomas More did half a millennium ago.
Although today's autocrats don't generally murder their servants (Henry killed his father's top advisers Dudley and Empson and his own aides John Fisher, Thomas Cromwell and Thomas More, with Wolsey dying soon after his arrest) they do exterminate relationships the minute a courtier falls out of favour, creating a toxic environment of backbiting and manoeuvring.
Like Cromwell returning to regale his household at Austin Friars with the stories of Henry's unbelievable requests, the advisers, aides and concierge fixers of today's Henry equivalents are often amused and appalled in equal measure.
There's the film company executive who drags staff from their beds at 3am for "urgent" meetings at locations of his choice, in true Tudor despot style. "He got us out of bed for a dream?" someone says to Cromwell as he goes to Henry in one scene in Wolf Hall. "Believe me, he gets one out of bed for far less than that," another replies.
Then there's the foreign billionaire who asked an associate to delay a Premier League match because he was running 20 minutes late. "We thought it was a joke," the associate says. "His office kept calling until we explained that it doesn't work like that. He's so used to delaying planes, cars, restaurant tables and meetings, he doesn't understand why a football match and stadium of thousands of fans can't be delayed too."
Simon Blackford, co-founder of boutique concierge service Ellidore Lifestyle, says a client recently asked for two Peruvian "bespectacled" bears to be stationed outside a mansion she had hired for a party. "I did a bit of research. It turns out they are pretty violent creatures and endangered," says Blackford. "She wasn't understanding when we told her."
Last summer another client asked for her mother's ashes to be shot by powerful fireworks from a hired boat on the Thames — a request that was turned down by the Port of London Authority. "We had a 60-year-old woman who wanted us to empty the theatre for Dirty Dancing so that she could watch it on her own," he says. "You've got to let them down gently."
Another source speaks of the media honcho who, when angry, smashes mobile phones on the dashboard of his car — not his own mobile, obviously. Those of his long-suffering minions.
Then there are the insecure divas who want PAs to be with them all hours — even sharing their bed — or the pop star who wants nannies "to work round the clock, round the year without a holiday," says one who was interviewed. "I was told I'd be paid double for holidays and weekends, not be able to take them."
Henry VIII's desire to annul his marriage to Catherine of Aragon to marry Anne Boleyn is perhaps the most event-changing boss request in British history. It resulted in the deaths of advisers, the dissolution of the monasteries, the destruction of chunks of the country's finest art and the halting of a centuries-old allegiance to the Catholic Church.
Admittedly that's on a grand scale compared with the tedious hours waiting for dry cleaning, or squeezing toothpaste onto the royal toothbrush as one of Prince Charles's servants is said to have done. "What it is to serve a prince," one of Wolsey's aides muses as they row across a lake.
"Henry was the world's most demanding boss," says historian Tracy Borman, author of the recently published Thomas Cromwell: The Untold Story of Henry VIII's Most Faithful Servant. "You were on duty all the time if you served Henry."
Modern-day stories of diva behaviour abound. One wealthy London business owner demanded his private jet take an unscheduled detour to Paris so that he could buy his mistress a box of her favourite macaroons. A supermodel asks her live-in nannies to pick her up from parties in the middle of the night, while the PA to a famous designer is asked to clear up after her incontinent dog.
Concierge service Quintessentially says typical requests include helping a client in the South of France source a dress she'd spotted in a magazine and having it flown from Harvey Nichols in Manchester so that she could wear it to a party that evening.
King Henry's request for an annulment was so unreasonable that at first his courtiers didn't believe it. "Wolsey didn't take him seriously," says Borman. "He made a show of trying [to get the annulment], but didn't think it would happen. It was only later they realised the King was actually going to push for this. It was shocking."
Borman once had an unreasonable boss herself. "You had to work ungodly hours and stay until after him, removing your social life. He would ask for something, then forget, then ask why you had done it." The similarities don't end there. "Sometimes our meetings would take place in castles."

Joseph Abboud Floors It With Nourison
October 10, 2011,
By Andrea Lillo
Though Joseph Abboud is a well established apparel brand at 25 years old--having become JA Apparel Corp. in 2004--it's not a company to sit around and wait, but to always keep moving forward like its customer, a world traveler hungry for new experiences. "The past is irrelevant," said creative director Bernardo Rojo. "It's done."
Nourison was an easy choice to partner up with for Joseph Abboud, given Nourison's vertical integration and distribution channels. "I can't replicate that," said Kenton Selvey, president, JA Brand Group, an extension of JA Apparel Corp. "Nourison can put value into the product. It was the right way to go."
The new rug line incorporates Joseph Abboud's values, such as the use of textures and natural materials, which "Joseph Abboud is known for," said Rojo. One result was the mixture of cotton chenille with cowhide for dramatic tonal look in the handmade Chicago group ($1,199 for a 5'3" by 7'5"). With varying heights of cut and loop pile, the Modelo collection (a 5'6" by 7'5" will retail for $899) includes one herringbone design that has the impression of the Joseph Abboud logo.
"The rug industry is all about texture," said Julie Rosenblum, brand manager, Nourison. For a new brand in the category, "it's important to stay true to who you are and bring innovation."
Joseph Abboud has changed a bit since Abboud the designer left in 2004, Rojo said. For example, the designer hated red, and there was never any red in the apparel collections. However, the handtufted Monterey line includes a bold red rug ($499 for a 5'3" by 7'4") -- "it's so beautiful," Rojo said. And of the Monterey collection, he said, "I adore it. It's very modern, very contemporary."
Abboud the designer was also against using synthetics, but several of the rug collections include them, such as viscose and polyester along with wool in Modelo. But that's all a part of the company's evolution forward. "It's a different approach, that's the beauty of it," said Rojo. Each collection "has the same DNA, but it appeals to a different demographic."
The last two collections are the Majestic collection ($799 for a 5'3" by 7'5"), which modernizes the classic Joseph Abboud paisley arrangement in scale and color and is powerloomed in China of 100 percent New Zealand wool; and the Opus collection, which features abrash patterns in transitional dual-tone designs and will retail for $799 for a 5'3" by 7'5".
"It's affordable luxury," said Selvey. "The rug changes the dynamic of the room."
Joseph Abboud has been in the home furnishings arena for a decade now, and its licensing revenue is about 15 to 20 percent of the company's sales, said Selvey. Besides area rugs, categories now include luggage, fabrics, tabletop, bath accessories and wallpaper--with its sights on the furniture category next.
While this is the first time the company has gone into the rug category, Abboud himself bought rugs from markets all over the world, as he was a world traveler. And that's Joseph Abboud's customer, executives stress--a world traveler, someone who cares about style. "Today he's here, but then he's in Toyko and then Paris ... The Joseph Abboud man is constantly on the go," said Rojo.
The difference between a tourist and a traveler, said Selvey, is that "a tourist thinks about when they're going home." However, "the traveler may not come back." And, similarly, Joseph Abboud only looks ahead. "We're not coming back."

David Webb, 38, said other family and friends were visiting various hospitals in the search for Laura Webb, 29.
He said she was last seen by her boyfriend at 9am yesterday at her home in Islington, north London, as she was setting off to her place of work. She works as a personal assistant.
Mr Webb, a teacher, from Kingston-upon-Thames, south west London, said: "We are very upset about her disappearance, and all the options go through your mind. They include that she may be being cared for somewhere, or maybe she is still underground."
Miss Webb's boyfriend Chris Driver, 28, a freelance video tape operator, said: "I said goodbye to her yesterday morning. She was running a little bit late, but happy as always. It was 8.15am."
He said she would have been taking a Tube from Kings Cross to her work in the Paddington area.
Asked how he was coping, he said: "It's very difficult, I just want to find her. The friends and family have gone to seven or eight hospitals.
"I just hope she may have knocked her head or something like that, and that she is somewhere being looked after."

Micahel's new Macbook had a very unusual flaw. Whenever it was connected to his home network, it would take out his modem. Unfortunately, it didn't take the whole Apple Store's network down, so he wasn't able to replicate the problem for the Geniuses. After five trips and a variety of repairs, Apple finally gave up…and gave him a brand new MacBook.

"Blind" Spot After Using Latisse
Doctor Answers 2
I've never heard of anyone getting a blind spot after using Latisse
I've never heard of anyone getting a blind spot after using Latisse. You should have an eye exam.
Latisse is NOT associated with Blindness
You need to see an Ophthalmologist immediately. Latisse is NOT associated with blindness.
You are describing a finding seen with Macular Degeneration or even a Retinal Detachment. Rather than speculate on what may be wrong with your eye, it is best to leave that to a professional. Get examined immediately.

Camera specs looks really good. However, this would be a non-starter for me: NO viewfinder!Jan 23, 2008 at 5:31 pm #1417418
Franco, this camera is hitting at lot of my hot points. Tough,check; waterproof,check; 28 mm at the wide end, check; LCD can be seen in bright sunlight, check.
Wish it had aperture and shutter speed priority, though. The 10 MP worries me a bit, too. Is this likely to be a noisycam?
Maybe the Fuji F30 and the Olympus should have a love child.Jan 23, 2008 at 10:14 pm #1417456
You have hit the nail on the head. Fujifilm has just announced the F100FD.
5x zoom (28-140mm), 12mp using a 1/1.6" CCD (from the specs looks like a Fuji made CCD), full manual controls. No viewfinder and no weather proofing .
This one looks even more interesting. Because of the bigger than most CCD, I see some real potential here.
Beside, I really like the Fuji look (colours,low noise,good balance between detail and sharpness)
And PMA hasn't even started……
FrancoJan 24, 2008 at 6:12 am #1417479
Thanks for bringing the F100fd to my attention, Franco. After reading the description, it sounds like the camera I've been waiting for. With everything it has going for it, I think I can learn to protect it in the field. I'll be anxiously awaiting the reviews.Feb 18, 2008 at 7:06 pm #1421074
Bummer, no aperture priority or shutter priority. What was Fuji thinking?Feb 18, 2008 at 11:34 pm #1421095
Ooops, I have just noticed the DPReview correction.
Never mind. All of this type of compact cameras only have two or three apertures, so if you want a wide aperture (shallow depth of field) use the sport mode, for a small aperture use the landscape mode….
FrancoFeb 20, 2008 at 5:28 pm #1421343
Thanks for the tips, Franco. My current digicam has no manual controls so I'm using Landscape mode for large depth of field and Portrait mode for shallow depth of field. I didn't think to use Sport mode; I'll give it a try. To slow down the shutter speed to get that flowing water effect, I've been using Night mode. It works to some extent but not as well as I'd like.
Are you saying that there is no advantage to aperture and shutter priority in these small digicams because you can get essentially the same thing by "tricking" your automatic camera?Feb 20, 2008 at 7:51 pm #1421362
Hi Dondo,
No, my suggestion was about making the most out of a bad situation.
As stated, most compacts only have two or three aperture settings, so using the modes you can (almost) get what you want. As for the shutter speed, the Sport , Portrait or Night Time mode (as well as slow flash in some cameras ) do help but you still don't know what you are going to get out of that box of chocolates.
I am slowly working on my "fantasy" backpacking camera.
Really we are not that far from it. Take the ergonomics and controls of the Ricoh GX100, the sensor from the Fujifilm F30 (maybe the F100 will work better ….) a 24-100mm lens, some weatherproofing ( water proofing would be better but not necessary) , use the Canon Digix or Fuji processing, Panasonic's Image Stabilizer, Panasonic's barrel and pincushion correction ( note that those straight lines on the Panas are obtained in processing) and you get a pretty fine camera or maybe you end up with a camel.
BTW, something that cannot be done using small sensors is to have the very shallow depth of field of a FF or APS sized ones. The smaller the sensor, the wider the focal length will be so the greater the Depth Of Field.
(of course someone will work out how to "defocus" the background during processing…., you read it here first)
After a quick Google search I found out that there are already several patent applications regarding that idea.
FrancoFeb 22, 2008 at 4:52 pm #1421633
The day Franco's Fantasy Camera gets announced, I'll be the first to jump all over it, especially if they throw in that "defocus" feature. Until then, I understand that tough decisions must be made if I insist on a compact camera. Since I like landscape shots in low light conditions, I'm still leaning toward the Fuji. Am I barking up the right tree or are there other cameras out there I should be considering?Feb 22, 2008 at 8:39 pm #1421660
The Fuji F100 is on my "must test" list. I am waiting to get back the pics I took with the Pana FX36 (FX35 over there) but most of the shots were taken in very favorable light. I don't expect crystal clear, noise fee images from the Olympus SW790, but based on the results from the previous versions should prove to be a great camera for the more "active" where the shock/waterproof feature takes precedence over quality. The other two candidates are the Sony W 170 and the Canon SD870 (860 here) already out for some time. ( I would have preferred a smaller screen and an optical v/f as with the SD800). But so far the Fuji seems the most promising of the new batch.
FrancoFeb 22, 2008 at 11:22 pm #1421670
Sample DP1s seem to be leaking out, and into the hands of testers. My Korean is nonexistant but the samples waaaay at the bottom of the page are the best images I've ever seen from anything less than two pounds. Freakishly detailed.
Sigma's muttering something about shipping in March.
–RickFeb 23, 2008 at 5:18 am #1421680
Thanks, Franco. I'll be looking out for the reviews. Rick, that DP1 looks sweet, but a bit pricey for me. Looks like I may have to enjoy it vicariously through you. ;-)Mar 12, 2008 at 4:29 pm #1424092
I have just noticed your tent pics at Backpackers.
I have some bad news for you. Looking at those shots I think that the Sigma could be your ideal camera…..
Don't expect that sort of dynamic range or detail out of the Olympus SW, but maybe the Fuji will be close to that.
I tested a pre-production Pana FX36 (FX35 over there) and just hope that the production version will be dramatically better….
So now I really have to get my hands on the Fuji F100 and the Sigma DP1.
BTW, I can look at tent shots all day and I am a sucker for green, so that shot from the inside of the Montbell Diamond is about as good as it gets.I hope that you have that picture up on a wall.Mar 12, 2008 at 4:42 pm #1424096
A few DP1s are in "civilian" hands now, as it's available in Tokyo and a few Asian and European cities.
This fellow (a confirmed Sigmanaut) seems to be enjoying his:Mar 13, 2008 at 5:32 pm #1424226
Thanks for the compliment,Franco. I'm kind of partial to green, also. Unfortunately, the shot from inside the Diamond was taken with a 2 mp point-and-shoot so it probably won't print out too well. I should back it up, though.
Because of your background, I tend to put a lot of weight towards your camera suggestions. Eight hundred bucks is a lot of green to me, so I'm proceeding cautiously. You say every picture tells a story. What story did you see in my photo in the tent pics thread at Backpacker that makes you think that the Sigma could be my ideal camera?Mar 13, 2008 at 5:40 pm #1424230
Interesting link, Rick. To my untrained eye those photos look pretty good. Let us know when/if you decide to go for it.
A question for both you and Franco. Do you see a fixed lens as a limitation? Is it just the price you have to pay for a high quality compact? I use to have a Yashica T4 (before I drowned it in a stream) and had a lot of fun with it. It never occurred to me at the time that I could take better pictures with a zoom lens.Mar 13, 2008 at 11:28 pm #1424293
I am surprised that it was a 2mp camera that took that shot, quality is hard to tell from a computer screen compressed image, but it does seem to have good detail , the colour balance and exposure are just right. No wonder I often remark that given the right size sensor and a sharp lens (combined with good firmware) six million pixels are more than enough.
Why the Sigma ?
Because your two shots at Backpacker are the kind of shots that the Sigma would excel at and a lot of other "compact" camera fail.
You are into landscapes, so a wide angle is important. At the wide end (28mm and about) most lenses on a compact camera are at their worst :soft and with a lot of barrel distortion. Couple that with a wide aperture required in low light, and too many tiny pixels, and your pics end up looking like a shot from a Box Brownie.
The Sigma is just the opposite. It has a large sensor, a sharp 28mm (looks relatively distortion free) and performs well fully opened.
I used a lot of compact film cameras, including your Yashica T4 . I owned a couple of Rolleis with a similar lens. There were not many compact cameras with a better lens and none with a zoom lens.
$800 maybe the initial sell, but it will settle at a lower price point as soon as Sigma catches up with the pre-orders. (this could be just wishful thinking but I don't think so)

@marti124Locale: Moderator-JohnMuirTrail Yahoo Group
Franco, what is the weight of the camera with batteries inside the camera? What is the weight of a replacement battery (does it only use one?) What type of memory card does it use? Thx.Mar 14, 2008 at 5:05 pm #1424370
The Sigma is 9.5 oz with battery, 8.8 without.
It takes SD and SDHC (now available with 32 GB capacity)
As a comparison, the Sigma sensor is about 12x larger than the commonly used 1/2.5" version.
FrancoMar 14, 2008 at 5:17 pm #1424371
One thing I didn't realize before watching Carl's video was that it has a lens hood and also accepts filters. It's looking better and better.
Do you have any opinions about the Foveon X3 sensor?Mar 14, 2008 at 6:42 pm #1424391
There are a lot of people more qualified than me . For a good explanation see this link
My take is that the Foveon ( this is based on shots I have seen from previous Sigma models) tends to produce results that have a more "analogue" (film) look. The downside is that it is not ideal for action shots.
BTW, there are different weights for the body only on the net, one Sigma spec sheet states 8.5ozMar 14, 2008 at 10:05 pm #1424405
Hi Dondo,
re. your earlier question on the prime lens, it's truly the photographer's preference as to whether to go with a prime or a zoom; of course, 98% of cameras sold today are zooms. The DP1 has received howls of derision for this lens: "not a zoom" "too slow" etc. I've no doubt they made the right choice in order to keep the results without compromise, while keeping it small and below a thousand dollars (barely). The lens is sharp, even wide open, corner to corner. So, mission accomplished there.
Because of your experience with the T4 (a classic) you already know this world and I'd guess would easily adapt. Please note that the optical viewfinder is an acce$$ory, but I don't know how anyone would get by without one, at least outdoors.
The adapter and hood are also accessories, but (relatively) cheap. I figure after half a year, Sigma will offer complete kits, maybe a wideangle converter too?
The Foveon chip throws an interesting curve into the works. It seems to have superior dynamic range and more film-like noise characteristics than a typical Bayer sensor. Limited low-light capability and no IS are a potential shortcoming, depending on the photographer's needs.

As its name suggests, the Melody Movie really sings with both movie soundtracks and music. We loaded up Iron Man 2 on Blu-ray, skipped to the Monaco Grand Prix scene and through our Teufel Theater 3 speakers the Marantz tackles the slam-bang action with relish. You can feel the roaring engines of the F1 cars on the grid shudder your bones, and if the sound of them zooming past the camera doesn't get the adrenalin flowing then get yourself to a GP sharpish.
Throughout the scene, the whirlwind of effects is delivered with raw aggression and power, but always under complete control. The sound of sliced-up cars crashing to the ground is underpinned by a tight, thumping low-end, there's a thick, muscular boom as Vanko smashes his whips on the ground, while the clattering of metal on metal boasts sharpness and bite but no harshness at all. This is a great advert for home cinema separates.
Despite its power, the system doesn't miss out any of the little details going on elsewhere, like the clicking and beeping of Stark's suit, or the electric crackle of Vanko's whips. Dialogue remains clear too, allowing you to pick out Tony's little quips as the chaos rains down around him, even without the presence of a dedicated centre speaker. It's fast and dynamic, inspiring excitement with every sound – it's just a shame you can't add surround speakers to expand the soundstage, as Dolby Virtual Speaker adds very little width.
This superb movie performance is backed up by silky smooth CD playback, which is its clearest advantage over cheaper 2.1-systems. You can instantly hear where the extra money is going – from soul and jazz to rock and pop, it handles a variety of genres with sophistication, warmth and a completeness that you simply don't get from the vast majority of budget Blu-ray receivers. Of course, it helps pairing it with your own speakers as opposed to the lightweight ones you get with one-box systems.
Although the Melody Movie takes a while to get a picture on screen due to its sluggish disc loading (Terminator Salvation took one minute to load, Iron Man 2 47 seconds), it's certainly impressive when it arrives. Iron Man 2's slightly grainy transfer is faithfully reproduced with immaculate detail, bold colours, subtle shading and fluid motion. Dark scenes are perfectly visible too, with superb shadow detail giving the picture plenty of depth.
We also ran through the Silicon Optix test disc and the Marantz competently handled most of its patterns. That said, there was some unusual juddering on rotating bars, strobing boxes on the Film Resolution Loss test and nasty flickering during the pan across Raymond James stadium, all of which suggests that the on-board video processing isn't quite as powerful as we first thought.
Despite its stellar sound performance, in other areas the Melody Movie isn't quite the all-encompassing, must-have system we hoped it would be. There's too much missing from the spec sheet to completely justify that lofty price tag, including networking, digital inputs and DivX playback. But there are still plenty of positives to celebrate, such as the amazing build quality, alluring design and, most importantly, its mature, refined sound quality, which is streets ahead of 2.1-channel systems from the likes of Samsung, LG and Panasonic. If that's your only demand, then the Marantz is a worthwhile purchase, but be sure to check out what the competition has to offer before buying.
Interesting device. The lack of digitial inputs is a shame but not a dealbreaker for me. A couple of questions/thoughts:
-- How good is at DVD upscaling?
-- Purely as a 2.0 amplifier, what amplifier price bracket would you say this is comparable to?
No digital inputs on a unit this price is ridiculous. Essentially you would need another AV reciever setup for your Sky+ box and your games console, even though you'd already dropped £700 on the Marantz. What were they thinking?
Well, I bought this unit and I'm not pleased.
Positive points :
- very, very good sound
- solid build, good menu
- good upscaler, sharp images, but not better than Sony or Panasonic
- no digital input...
- no hdmi 1.4, only 1.3 ( arc missing..)
Very negative
Can not play correctly the newest blurays of Salt, 300 or Inception. Also refuses some music cd's for no reason.
Problem : if you have the testunit still in da house, please play Salt and forward to chapter 8. Press play (min 42..) and at minute 43.10 or so it will skipp to minute 51.. (chapter). This is just one example.
I have tested several blurays, several units in the stores and all had the same flaw : it cannot handle some multi layered blurays.
If the Marantz is still in your posession, please test this flaw.
