New Braunfels Herald Zeitung (Newspaper) - May 19, 1991, New Braunfels, Texas Opinions DAVID SULLENS, Editor and Publisher 1 ANIME GREEN, Managing Editor Page 4AHerald-Ze/funp, New Braunfels, Texas Sunday, May 19, 1991I was embarrassed to find myself shedding a tear The young father was composed. More composed, I suspect, than I. A member of his family had called my home earlier that Saturday evening. She was trying to get in touch with my wife, who, at that time, owned a children's clothing store. When I explained that Connie was at market and probably would not be home until later that evening, she asked my help. I recall little of what she had to say, of the specifics she outlined in a voice perhaps a little too free of the emotion I know lurked beneath every word. She spoke of people I knew. She said their baby had just died. She asked if there was any way members of the family could come to my wife's store. They wanted clothes for the baby, "something special," she said. I knew little — very little — of the operation of that store. I had a key and I knew how to turn on the lights. That, I decided, was enough. I asked the voice on the phone when they would like for me to meet them at the store and we set a time. I hoped fervently that my wife would be home before that time arrived. She wasn't, so as I left the house, I told the kids that, if she should happen to get in before I got back, they were to tell her to meet me there. At the store, I went inside and turned on the lights. As I walked to the front of the building, those for whom I was waiting drove up. As I walked to meet them, I felt lost. Talking to the caller earlier, someone I'd never met, someone totally in control of herself and of the situation, I'd been embarrassed to find myself shedding a tear. David Sullens Now I was about to meet the father and mother of the child. And I was going to help them find something — something special — in which they would dress the baby they never got to know. I couldn't handle it and I knew I couldn't. I'd worked with the father on various community projects in which he'd been involved. Though we weren't close, we were friends. I don't think I'd ever met his wife. I held the door as they came into the store. I don't remember what I said. I showed them the part of the store in which the baby things were displayed. And then all I could do was let them look through those things. I knew nothing of the sizes or of the lines carried in the store. I could be of little help. As they looked and talked, I moved away. I didn't want to intrude. But even more, I knew I'd do well to get through this even without hearing their words. Then my wife drove up and came into the store. Compassionately, yet efficiently, knowledgeably, she helped the young couple find what they were looking for. The decision narrowed to two selections. One, as I recall, was a beautiful, handmade, very expensive white suit with much intricate stitching and lace. The other was a striped play outfit. As my wife and the mother of the baby looked through the selections available, before the choice was narrowed to those two items, the father wandered through the store. He stopped at a bushel basket full of small stuffed animals. He paused there for a moment and then he moved away. But a moment later he came back and picked one of the animals out of the basket. He put it down and walked away, then he came back to it again. His wife called and he went to help her decide which of the two suits — the beautiful formal one or the one that was what a baby might wear on his first trip to grandma's — they would select. They chose the play clothes. I was glad. As my wife and his carried the tiny outfit to the counter, he tarried for a moment and then walked back to the bushel basket of stuffed toys. Picking up the one he'd examined earlier, he carried it to the counter. "We'll take this, too," he said. He placed it with the clothes.

Other counties that have purchased similar systems have later regretted it. In at least one of those counties, it now takes longer in almost every election to tally votes than it did bclorc the system was purchased The problem is not with the system itself. It is with the voters, some of whom insist on marking ballots in ways the system cannot decipher and thus rejects. Ballots thus rejected, of course, must be -manually counted. It is that manual counting process that has lengthened the time required lo fully tally the votes in that Texas county. That system, of course, is several years old now. Current systems may be more capable of dealing with human frailties. Or perhaps Comal County voters are more inclined to correctly follow ballot marking instructions than are the residents of that other Texas county. In any case, we are glad our officials are studying the issue fully before spending a goodly sum ol our money. Don't shove issue back to counties Unable lo find a real solution to a growing problem, two Texas legislators have decided to simply give it to you. The criminal justice reform bill proposed by Rep. Mark Stiles, IX Beaumont, and Sen. Jim Turner, D-CrockcU, would specify that the state is not legally required to accept new prison inmates from county jails if lo do so would cause the prison system to violate a court order on overcrowding It also would allow the Commission on Jail Standards to transfer inmates in one county to a jail in another. Laced with serious budget problems, die stale now is looking for a way lo reduce the amount of money it needs lo spend to solve its prison problem T ossing the problem lo the counties is not the nght answer. The state's voters send legislators to Austin lo work together to find creative, long term solutions to the problems we face. We don 't send them there to have a good time and send the problems back home.

We enjoyed the beauty of die Hill Country, the endless fields of blucboiuieis, authentic German food and the timeless charm of the Faust Hotel. But most of all it was the outpouring of friendship and hospitality of just about everyone we met. A special thanks to Joseph Worl for introducing himself and making us welcome from the very start. He made us feel like minor celebrities by requesting that lite Zeitung send a news editor over to interview us Bill Knight at the Langston House was gracious enough to transmit his piano playing to the front porch after dinner during a rainstorm. Reilly Tatum at the Veranda bar puts on a great Friday night show. Also at the Faust we remember Bubba Bird and Ray Kelly.

Kan wisher Final farewell Editor: My modtcr died yesterday (May 15) at die age of 57 from cancer. I had watched her struggle to overcome die terrible physical aspect of cancer for some time now. I saw how it wore down her strength. I watched helplessly as it destroyed her body. Not once did she give up hope that she would "get belter" I never heard her ask "Why me, laird?" Slowly but surely die cancer not only destroyed her body but robbed her of her courage, her strength and her dignity. Through all of this pain and suffering I could not help bul be filled with a sense of pride at the way she managed lo live through all that was happening to her. And I marveled al her courage. But now she's gone. Arid I find that the greatest courage has to come from all of us who loved her, for we have lo go on widiout her. There will be a terrible cm|Hiness in all of our lives. And as I try hard lo draw upon die courage my mother was convinced I had, I can't help but wonder if she would still be alive if she hadn't been such a heavy smoker. I had thousands of wonderful memories of my mother Cancer not only kills people bul any chance of making more memories. I love you, Mama In memory of Ellen Mac* Car Icy While Colleen R White New Braunfels Vows stand as reminder of the 'huh1 By JOHN INGRAM WALKER, M.D. The wedding was to be outside under the live oaks, beside the river, with the caladiums, periwinkle and geraniums blossoming, but the rains came and the wedding was moved indoors where the ambiance matched the intimacy of the moment. From die comer of the room I had a panoramic view of the ceremony. As the bride and groom took their vows, "To have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish until death us do part, according to God's holy ordinance, and thereto I pledge thee my faith,'' I marveled at the depth and breadth of the words. One must be married for two score and ten before the full measure of those vows can be taken. Joseph Campbell, the world's foremost authonty on mythology writes, "In the Middle Ages a favorite image that occurs in many, many contexts is the wheel of fortune.1 There's the hub of Walker the wheel, and there is the revolving rim of the wheel. For example, if you arc attached to the rim of die wheel of furtune, you will be either above, going down, or at the bottom, coming up. But if you are at the hub, you arc in the same place all the time. That is the sense of the marriage vow — I take you in health or sickness, in wealth or poverty: going up or going down. But I lake you as my center, and you are my bliss, not the wealth that you might bring mc, not the social prestige, but you.'' As I gazed at my friends' faces at that wedding I reflected on the agony and csclasy that marriage brings. I thought how often I had been on the outer edge of the wheel of marriage, flung around by egocentric drives and desires. Then I thought of my wife, rock solid, centered, focused, loving and supjiortivc, believing in our love and family. Only through her grace arui gentle toughness did our marriage survive. Now that I've joined lier in the peac eful hub of our love's marriage I wonder how I could have been so foolish to miss this contentment all those chaotic years As I looked around I could sec those same thoughts reflected from my friends' souls. I watched them, the long married couples, the soil glances, the gentle touches between them, as the vows repealed resonated their devotion to each other. They had been tempted They hail seen good limes and bad. They had drilled And they were pleased their love had endured. All who have faced life's lempia lions know that marraige conies uneasily Those young people taking their vows cannot imagine die sung gles ahead May God's grace and their community of friends hold them together as their egos fling wildly until they, finally, become centered un their love for each other.

JAMA urges journals to toughen data review
■ Controversy over GlaxoSmithKline's diabetes drug Avandia prompts calls for requiring independent analysis of drugmakers' trial data.
- » External links
Medical journal editors should require independent analysis of industry-sponsored trial data by an academic statistician before publishing results, according to an editorial published in the March 24/31 Journal of the American Medical Association.
The call comes in response to internal GlaxoSmithKline documents revealed as part of a February Senate Finance Committee report investigating the company's handling of data related to its diabetes drug Avandia (rosiglitazone).
A meta-analysis published June 14, 2007, in the New England Journal of Medicine found that Avandia increases heart attack and cardiovascular death risk by 43% and 64%, respectively. The company responded by unblinding and publishing the results of an ongoing safety study known as RECORD: Rosiglitazone Evaluated for Cardiac Outcomes and Regulation of Glycemia in Diabetes.
The internal documents show debate over whether the RECORD interim analysis manuscript, published July 5, 2007, in NEJM, might misrepresent the study's results and raise the question of whether the academic investigators involved had adequate access to trial data to draw their own conclusions.
U.S. sales of Avandia dropped dramatically after the Food and Drug Administration added a black-box warning about heart attack risk in 2007. An FDA advisory panel meeting scheduled for July will consider whether the drug should be removed from the market.
It is in these kinds of cases that journals requiring an independent academic statistician to review the data analysis could help ensure that physicians and patients are not misled about industry-sponsored trial results, said Catherine D. DeAngelis, MD, MPH, editor-in-chief of JAMA.
Imposing such a requirement before publication "assures that if there is any question about the veracity of statistical analysis, the editor can call the dean of the institution where the statistician is a faculty member and ask for a review of the statistical analysis," Dr. DeAngelis said. "If there is a problem, the article would be corrected or withdrawn and the dean would deal with the faculty member if needed."
JAMA and the Archives journals published by the American Medical Association are the only major journals to have adopted such a requirement, Dr. DeAngelis said. At this article's deadline, the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors planned to discuss, during an April meeting, whether to incorporate such a standard in its uniform requirements.
The ICMJE is composed of 12 of the leading journals, including NEJM, JAMA, Annals of Internal Medicine and Lancet. Hundreds of journals already follow the committee's uniform requirements for manuscripts, which lay out conventions on authorship credits, peer review and how to report research results.
NEJM spokeswoman Jennifer Zeis said the journal "employs four biomedical statisticians who review the appropriateness of statistical approach and analysis plan in all manuscripts before they are published" and often seeks clarifications, revisions or additional statistical tests from study authors. Zeis said editors published GSK's interim analysis because it "provided additional data on the cardiovascular toxicity of rosiglitazone."
By requiring stricter academic oversight of company-sponsored trials, medical journal editors might give drugmakers reason to think twice about misleading the public, said Steven E. Nissen, MD, lead author of the NEJM meta-analysis on Avandia's cardiac risk and chair of the Dept. of Cardiovascular Medicine at the Cleveland Clinic Foundation.
Dr. Nissen, who also authored a March 24/31 JAMA commentary on the Avandia case, said other steps should be taken, such as making the trial protocol and statistical analysis plan public.
GSK said in a statement that the JAMA editorial and commentary "unjustly challenge the motives of physician scientists seeking to inform diabetes treatment and patient safety, and mischaracterize the RECORD study on rosiglitazone." The pharmaceutical company said appropriate measures were taken to ensure appropriate oversight, and that the company's analyses were "independently verified at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine."
A March 18 online study published in BMJ found that of the 180 authors writing 202 articles reviewing Avandia's cardiac risks, those with financial ties to GSK or other drugmakers were much likelier to write favorably about the drug's safety.
Stricter medical journal standards can help prevent deception but will not be a panacea, said Roy Poses, MD, president of the Foundation for Integrity and Responsibility in Medicine and clinical associate professor of medicine at Warren Alpert Medical School of Brown University in Rhode Island.
"It means there would be a somewhat less biased expert at least looking at the analysis and making sure there was nothing really funny going on with it," Dr. Poses said. "Is it sufficient to prevent all the sorts of problems we've seen with commercially sponsored research? Clearly not."
Every step of the product development process, from study design to postmarket analysis of safety data, is vulnerable to manipulation, he said.

The England team management ended days of speculation over Hardaker on Monday evening when they confirmed he had pulled out of the squad, citing personal reasons.
Hardaker, 22, is expected to shed some light on the circumstances behind his decision after meeting with his club on Wednesday and McDermott is looking for an explanation.
In an interview with the BBC, McDermott said: "It's clearly concerning what's happened and, until we find out the nature of what's happened and what has happened, I'm not sure what to say.
"Zak was in the England squad and now he's not in the England squad and that in itself is a disappointment, but other than that I'm a bit wary of saying too much until we've talked to him and our own club has made some enquiries."
The withdrawal of Hardaker comes a fortnight after the axing of Gareth Hock for a series of disciplinary breaches while James Graham was left out of the England side for the opening World Cup match against Australia without explanation.
At his weekly media briefing at Loughborough University on Tuesday, McNamara maintained his steadfast refusal to comment on rumours of breaches of the team's alcohol ban and played down the effects of the off-field distractions.
"I'm not frustrated at all," McNamara said. "I'm really happy with the squad that we've got. When you coach or manage, you have all sorts of different situations to deal with."
McNamara drafted Huddersfield's Brett Ferres in to plug the gap caused by the loss of Hock before the tournament kicked off but says he did not explore the chances of obtaining a replacement for Hardaker.
"I didn't want to," he said. "We've got a very good squad, we're covered in most positions."
McNamara expects to be able to pick from a full-strength 23-man squad for Saturday's final Group A match against Fiji at Hull's KC Stadium, a fixture that will determine the runners-up spot.
Utility forward Sam Burgess will return from a one-match ban while younger brother George Burgess and fellow front-rower Graham are expected to recover from knee injuries sustained in the 42-0 win over Ireland last Saturday.
"I can't envisage any injury problems going into this game," McNamara said. "It is still early in the week but they're both responding very well.
"I've got some headaches all round. It's really tough and it's how it should be. It's what we've been looking for for a long period of time.
"Throughout the squad there are some really good players who haven't yet had an opportunity to play in this World Cup. This week is going to be another difficult week in terms of selection.
"I've said all along I certainly wouldn't make decisions based on keeping everything fluffy and nice.
"If a couple of changes need making, I'll make them. If I feel someone potentially needs a week off, like I did last week, I'll do that as well.
"It's based on getting us to the end position in the best possible shape ready to perform and hopefully win the competition."
McNamara left out winger Josh Charnley, Super League's leading tryscorer for the last two seasons, against Ireland and must now decide whether to recall him at the expense of either Tom Briscoe, who took his chance by scoring two tries, or hat-trick hero Ryan Hall.
There is also plenty of competition in the pack but the coach will not have any hesitation in recalling Sam Burgess, whose appearance against Australia was his first in an England shirt on home soil for three years.
"He's a world-class player," McNamara said. "He was disappointed to miss last week's game.
"He's not played enough times on British soil in recent history, particularly in an England jersey, so it was disappointing for everybody - himself, the players, the coaching staff and the fans who want to see Sam play."

Wouldn't it be nice if we could avoid the specifics of all of those grid layout percentage widths and media queries and concentrate on higher level layout considerations? If typography, buttons, forms, and other UI elements started from some good-looking CSS styles but were easy to modify? With the advent of responsive design has come the welcome arrival of frameworks - self-consistent HTML/CSS/JavaScript systems for quickly and easily building responsive sites.
Originally built by Twitter and open-sourced in 2011, Bootstrap is downloadable for free, either from the http://getbootstrap.com/ website or from the Bootstrap GitHub page. Bootstrap takes away a fair amount of the low-level implementation details when building a responsive site: flexible grids, media queries, flexible images, and other familiar aspects of responsive sites are baked in. You can (and will) exert fine-level control over CSS, JavaScript, and other aspects of sites you build with Bootstrap.

Its shares jumped 8p to 283 1/4p, topping the FTSE risers, while struggling rival Sainsbury lost 4 3/4p to 270p as Tesco piles on the pressure.
Chief executive Sir Terry Leahy said underlying sales rose 8.3%, including strong volume growth of 8%, setting a cracking pace for the rest of the industry.
'These results demonstrate the success of the four-part strategy we began seven years ago,' Leahy said.
'I am particularly pleased about the way we have done it - this year we have cut our prices by £5m a week, we are creating 20,000 jobs, our efficiency savings will hit £270m and we are improving returns for shareholders.'
The group is 'well-placed' to meet the challenges of tougher comparisons during the second half, he added.
Sales for the six months to 14 August were up 12.2% to £16.5bn, of which £11.5bn came from the UK, an increase of 11.5%.
Underlying profits at home were £707m, while the growing overseas operations pushed sales ahead by 14.9% to £3.4bn and profits by 43% to £140m.
Once again profits were driven by Tesco's growing share of the non-food market, particularly clothing, together with its growing convenience stores business and overseas operations.
The interim dividend is 2.29p per share, up 10.6% from the 2.07p paid for the year-ago period.
Analysts expect Tesco to push full-year profits to within a whisker of £2bn this year.

Sniffing Tutorial part 2 - Dumping Network Traffic to Disk
This blog post is the second part of a two-part tutorial that shows how to sniff network traffic. The first part covered how to intercept the traffic, i.e. how to get the packets to arrive to your network card. This second part covers how to best capture the network traffic to disk once you've managed to have them sent to your network card.
The first thing I recommend you to do before you start sniffing is to ensure that your sniffer computer stays quiet, so that you don't pollute the sniffed traffic with packets from your sniffer computer. How to do this varies between Windows, Linux and FreeBSD, so I will briefly cover how to silence all three OS's.
Silencing Windows
Windows is normally quite chatty on the network, but there is a simple trick that makes it shut up without disconnecting it from the network. Simply bring up the properties window for your network adapter and un-check all clients, services and protocols from the list of used items.
Silencing Linux
I don't know any good way to disable the TCP/IP stack in Linux similar to what we just did to Windows. But by disabling ARP and not giving the interface any IP address the risk of leaking packets can be reduced significantly. To achieve this simply run these commands on your Linux machine:
# ifconfig eth0 promisc
# ifconfig eth0 -arp up
# ip addr del 192.168.3.4/24 dev eth0
# ifconfig eth0 del fe80::1234:ddff:fe3f:1337/64
For more details on shuting up your Linux machine I suggest you take a look at the "Undetectable Sniffing On Ethernet" blog post on the Ask Apache blog.
Silencing FreeBSD
One of the many great things about FreeBSD is that it is really easy to configure a network interface to be silent. All you need to do is to issue this single command:
# ifconfig em0 monitor up
Read Richard Bejtlich's blog post "Ifconfig Monitor Option" for more info about this command.
Sniff with dumpcap
The most common software used for sniffing traffic is undoubtedly Wireshark, other common tools are tshark and tcpdump. All these three tools parse the packets as they come in and show data about the sniffed packets in the GUI or on the command line. This isn't desirable when doing network forensics since these application could use up too much resources on parsing the incoming packets, which during traffic peaks can lead to packets being dropped. There might also be bugs in the packet parsing code that can cause the application to crash completely, there have been plenty of such bugs in Wireshark for example.
A much more reliable way to sniff traffic is therefore to use an application that is designed to reliably dump traffic to disk, without trying to parse or analyze the contents of the sniffed frames. One such application is dumpcap, which is a command line tool developed by the Wireshark crew. In fact, as of version 1.4.0 of Wireshark both tshark and Wireshark run dumpcap in the background rather than doing the sniffing themselves. Another great thing about dumpcap is that it is available on Windows as well as on Linux and FreeBSD. My recommendation is to run it under FreeBSD since I consider it to be more reliable than the other operating systems. In order to get dumcap you need to download either Wirehsark or tshark since dumpcap doesn't have an installation package of its own.
Dumpcap supports capture filtering with BPF, but I recommend that you sniff ALL packets if you are authorized to do so and have enough disk space. It is much better to do the filtering later on in the analysis phase. The feature I like best in dumpcap is the ring buffer functionality, where it will continue writing incoming frames to a new pcap file once the old one has reached a specific size limit. In order to have dumpcap write sniffed frames to disk and roll over to a new file when it reaches 100.000 kB you'd run this command:
# dumpcap -i em0 -w wiretap.pcap -b filesize:100000
When you've dumped the traffic to disk is when the fun starts, i.e. analyzing the pcap files. You can read more analyzing pcap files in my blog posts about the TCP/IP Weapons School Sample Lab, DFRWS 2009 Challenge, Webmail Information Leakage and Command-line forensics.

text: 000 NOUS41 KGYX 211215 PNSGYX PUBLIC INFORMATION STATEMENT...NATIONAL SAFE BOATING WEEK NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GRAY ME 815 AM EDT SUN MAY 21 2017 ...THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE AND NERACOOS CONTINUES TO OBSERVE MAY 20TH THROUGH MAY 26TH AS NATIONAL SAFE BOATING WEEK... ...Thunderstorm Safety... The following is a safe boating message from the National Safe Boating Council and the National Weather Service, reminding you that National Safe Boating Week is May 20th through May 26th. Thunderstorms can be a mariner`s worst nightmare. They can develop quickly and create dangerous wind and wave conditions. Thunderstorms can bring shifting and gusty winds, lightning, waterspouts, and torrential downpours which can turn a day`s pleasure into a nightmare of distress. There are no specific warnings or advisories for lightning but all thunderstorms produce lightning. A lightning strike to a vessel can be catastrophic, especially if it results in a fire or loss of electronics. If your boat has a cabin, then stay inside and avoid touching metal or electrical devices. If your boat doesn`t have a cabin, stay as low as you can in the boat. Boaters should use extra caution when thunderstorm conditions exist and have a plan of escape. Mariners are especially vulnerable as at times they may unable to reach port quickly. It is therefore strongly recommended you do not venture out if thunderstorms are a possibility. If you do venture out and recognize thunderstorms nearby, head to port or safe shelter as quickly as possible. Ultimately, boating safety begins ashore with planning and training. Keep in mind that thunderstorms are usually brief so waiting it out is better than riding it out. Remember to check out the forecast before venturing out on the water. Our lakes forecast for Sebago and Winnipesaukee can be found at http://www.weather.gov/gyx/recreation This message was brought to you by the National Weather Service, NERACOOS and the National Safe Boating Council.

That (and, of course, the marketing draw) is why you see so many hotels popping up in spaces once used for other purposes, whether primary school or former jam factory. Someday, you might be heading off for a night's rest in a hotel that was once… by Marisa Lascala 727 FuselageA Jet-Setting Plane Hotel Costa Verde 727 Fuselage, Costa Verde, Costa Rica A Jet-Setting PlaneHotel Costa Verde transported the shell of an old 1965 Boeing 727 to the jungle—making it look like it "landed" among the treetops. The result is part-hotel suite, part-treehouse. More from Condé Nast Traveler: Hot Tables: The Best New Restaurants of 2013 Hotel Gyms with Incredible Views A Jet-Setting PlaneThe now-teak interior is big enough for two bedrooms, a kitchenette, and a dining area, and the spacious balcony offers a toucan's-eye-view of the jungle beyond. We know some travelers find it hard to sleep on planes, but we don't think anyone will have any trouble here. A Quinta da AugaA Run-Down Paper FactoryA Quinta da Auga Santiago de Compostela, Spain A Quinta da AugaA Run-Down Paper FactoryWhen the Lorenzo García family found the property that became A Quinta da Auga, it could hardly be called a former paper factory—the site was basically in ruins, with vegetation climbing over the 18th-century stone walls. A Quinta da AugaA Run-Down Paper FactoryThe hotel today, now a Relais & Châteaux property, boasts 59 guest rooms in the old warehouse, with scenery provided by the river and aqueduct that once powered the paper mill. Ahilya FortA Centuries-Old FortFort Ahilya Fort, Maheshwar, India Ahilya FortA Centuries-Old FortEmerging from the stone cliffs above the sacred Narmada River is the Ahilya Fort, built in the mid-18th century for Queen Ahilya Bai Holkar.

(He's also an accomplished chef.) Ahilya FortA Centuries-Old FortWhen Holkar started renovating the fort in 2000, it had no running water. Today, though it still retains the impressive exterior of an 18th-century fortification, the inside is posh enough to receive a Relais & Châteaux distinction.

(Actually, there are still monks in residence, but they're now in separate living quarters near the hotel's grounds.) Waldeck Capital LLCAn Augustinian MonasteryBefore undergoing a transformation in 2006, the property was seized from St. Thomas's Monastery during the Communist era, and then returned following the Velvet Revolution. Other buildings on the grounds also have historical significance, including the St Thomas's Brewery, which, fittingly, now houses a bar in its stalactite- and stalagmite-filled cellar. A Jam FactoryThe Henry Jones Art Hotel, Hobart, Australia The Henry Jones Art HotelA Jam FactoryAs you approach Australia's Henry Jones Art Hotel, you'll see that the sign on the front still says "H. Jones & Co…Jams." Finding the harbor-side location a convenient spot for jam production, George Peacock started his factory in 1861, and, under Henry Jones, one of his employees, the business expanded until it took up nearly the entire block of buildings along the wharf.

From death, life.Mature
A young woman, life beset by misery, hardship and death, has attracted the sympathies and love of an angel. An angel sworn, upon utter retribution, not to interfere with the workings of life and death.
To describe her, was to describe the deep complexity and utter beauty of creation itself. To him, it truly was. She had an infectious laugh, partnered with a smile that simply lit the room and eyes that could make you melt. But beneath that, beneath her beauty and kindness and intelligence was a steel that was rarely seen. Sharper than a blade, harder than rock, and as determined as any human on this green earth.
He'd loved her for all of her life.
They'd met on the night of her birth. She was born to a small farming family, on the river near the mountain he called home. He was visiting her household on business. Dark business. As his business always was.
She'd come screaming into the world, but her screams were quiet compared to the dank and heavy silence of her mother. There was an undeniable poetry to it; giving life while losing your own. But the poetry of death had long been lost on him. For that was his business, death.
Not that he actually killed, rather, he was present when they passed. He held their hand, and led them on to the next world; as had been his way since his own passing. The night of her birth was nothing special to him, just another night working. In fact, he would not have thought of her again under normal circumstances, but her circumstances were far from normal.
Two days after her entrance into the world, he found himself back at the farm on the river near his mountain. A young boy, her only brother, was playing by the river when he'd slipped on the stones. This visit, he did think of her.
Often, when he had no names to meet, he would visit the farm by the river. Her father was a good man, working tirelessly to tend to her needs and work the farm. He came to admire her father, a better man he'd not known. Time had been previously unconsidered to him, but watching her and her father work gave him a perspective, a context.
He was watching her father repair a leak in the roof of her barn when the name finally came, as he knew it would. Her father had run out of time. His heart broke for them. Suddenly, her father was looking up, down the little path that ran by the river to the nearest village, on which two men approached.
The girl's father ducked inside, and belted the old sword he kept by the fireplace to his side. Her father commanded that she run to the clearing near their home and hide, where he promised to find her later. She knew what this meant. She'd grown, and was nearly a woman in her own right. They watched her leave, both knowing what was to come.
The two men approached carelessly, clad in dirty cloth and leather with scraps of chainmail dangling from various parts of their bodies. The strangers wasted no time, quick work was made of the young woman's father. As his soul slipped from his body, the old man finally lay eyes back onto the spirit that had been watching him for so long.
He extended his arm to the old man, and led him to his rest.
When he returned to the farm, he made his way to the clearing. The clearing had been a favourite place of the young woman. Pale streaks of sunlight filter through the leaves, scattering a dancing pattern of emerald onto the soft ground below. A pond sat in the centre of the clearing and in the centre of the pond sat the young woman. Her clothes torn, lip swollen, nose bloodied and eye blackened. Swirls of dark red tainted the cool clarity of the pond.
A name flitted across his vision.
He watched her stand from the pond, droplets of diamond rolling from her skin and eyes collecting the dirt, blood and grime from her skin and dropping to the ground. He followed her back to the farm, where the two men sat by the burning wreck of her home. Into the barn she went, without a noise, and back out she came.
Over to the fire she crept, the axe she'd collected from the barn above her head. With a scream, she charged the men from the dark and brought the axe down in the most ferocious swing she could muster. But the reactions of the men had been hardened by a life of sin and war. The blade of her axe did not find its target, but was smacked aside at the last instant by a reflex of the dirty warrior.
He screamed a profanity at her, and smashed his fist into her already broken face while his companion looked on, idly chewing on stolen bread. The brute raised his fist for a second time, and a third, and a fourth. But the fourth never landed. From between her nearly bruised closed eyes she could see an arrowhead poking through his chest.
The brute died, and he met the spirit with fear and confusion. This one, did not go up.
The second thief and murder had cast his weapon away, and was bound by ropes and hauled back to the village by the guards who'd come to investigate the fire. She was carried back to town, where, before long, she'd made a new home.
He made a point of continuing to visit her.
Before long, she'd recovered, and made a home in the little village where she lived with her uncle and family. He watched her, over time, slowly and slowly reclaim her happiness. Day by day she fought on. Day by day she won. Day by day he marvelled at her strength. After a year, she was almost back to normal, and had started seeing the son of the village butcher.
The son was a kind and comely young man. He worked with his father, and spent his evenings off dedicated to making her smile. When they announced their marriage, no one was happier than the spirit who'd watched her since her birth. He continued to collect names when required, and had become accustomed to wandering the village. He was present at their marriage, and watched the seasons change and her belly swell with life. They named their son Gerrard, after the father who'd fallen.
One particularly beautiful evening he found himself atop the roof of the town church. The river was alight with the fire of the sunset, and the field appeared to be liquid gold in the soft light. The village was peaceful, the tavern was starting to echo some noise, and the last of the children were being herded by their parents back indoors.
Then the names started. Slowly at first, but the trickle turned into a stream, a stream that rapidly gained speed but very quickly stopped. The flow of names had been so fast, he'd not been able to register them all. However, one thing was constant to all of the names- the location.
This little village would not see the morning, and for the first time since taking his contract with those above, he considered breaking it.

WOW!!! By Thomas on 5/23/2017Thomas would recommend this product to a friendI had been using the Tunze Osmolator ATO, for the past 3 years, and could not maintain a proper level. Have been using this system, for the last month, and the level never strays above or below the set level probes. Highly Recommend this ATO.
Great ATO By Radster on 10/12/2016Radster would recommend this product to a friend100% Satisfaction. Been using for about a year now. Adjust your own water level trigger to any depth. Super affordable option vs. other OVERpriced ATOs that do the exact same thing and are unpleasant to the view. Compatible with any pump. tube it up and you're set.

KAMPONG Lorong Tiga Selatan Seria officially named a new Village Head in a certificate of appointment presentation ceremony on Saturday.
The event took place in the village itself at the residence of the new Village Head, Haji Sadin bin Haji Ibrahim, and saw the attendance of Dr Haji Abdul Manaf bin Haji Metussin, Permanent Secretary at the Ministry of Home Affairs as the guest of honour.
Haji Sadin was voted in as the new Village Head by the village's residents and is a member of the village's consultative council as well the secretary of the Mukim Seria Consultative Council.
Aged 57, Haji Sadin is the former Assistant Chief Engineer at the Lumut branch of the Department of Electrical Services.
The new village head delivered a speech at the event, in which he affirmed that he would carry out his duties with responsibility, honesty, trust, sincerity and the highest level of commitment in all situations.
He also urged residents of the village to continuously provide assistance and support towards advancing and ensuring the success of any and all activities organised by government agencies, particularly activities planned by the village's consultative council to make the village excellent and distinct.
The guest of honour said he believed that Haji Sadin would be able to uphold the trust and responsibility entrusted upon him by the government.
"I believe that he already possesses the motivation, ability and willpower as well as the readiness to face any challenges in holding the position of village head to fulfil the hopes of the residents in Kampong Lorong Tiga Selatan Seria.
"It is clear under the role, duty and responsibility that is inculcated and carried out by mukim penghulus and village heads is comprehensive and full of challenges that include not only issues of welfare, security of the mukim and village communities, but also all aspects of life there comprising development in the fields of physical, economy, social, safety, religion, culture and more."
In line with this, he said that mukim penghulus and village heads in cooperation with mukim and village consultative councils must work together to develop and ensure the well-being and prosperity of the residents in their respective areas and continuously make plans to make their villages excel.
He also urged all mukim penghulus and village heads to utilise the neighbourhood watch to ensure the safety and welfare of their respective villages and to continuously conduct public safety programmes to prevent unlawful activities from happening.
The guest of honour later officiated the revealing of a sign marking the residence as that of the new Village Head of Kampong Lorong Tiga Selatan Seria.
Among those present at the event were Legislative Council Members from the Belait District, Deputy Permanent Secretary at the Ministry of Home Affairs, Belait District Officer, mukim penghulus and village heads, members of the Kampong Lorong Tiga Selatan Seria Village Consultative Council as well as village residents.

The Mad: Fried Egg 7"
1977 Records
Reissue of this great 70s NYC punker on the great 1977 label. If you've picked up any of 1977's releases you know that they're way expensive here in the US, but they're worth it as they always look and sound great. This reissue comes with a HUGE fold-out poster sleeve and of course the vinyl contains two of the Mad's best tracks, "The Hell" and "Disgusting." It's awesome that we've been seeing so much Mad stuff reissued lately, but this is the real deal, a spot-on repro of their 2nd 7".Tags: '77 & KBD horror punk reissue

In Defence of the Poor Image
- 26 May — 1 June 2017 *on now
This exhibition, "In Defence of the Poor Image" marks the culmination of this year's Print Fellowship, now in its third year. Artists Emily Birney, Dylan Fox, Rose Phillips and Alex Small have this year chosen a title borrowed from the influential text by notable artist, filmmaker and writer, Hito Steyerl. In the text, Steyerl surveys the value or economy of images and calls for a reappraisal of the poor image, the image subjected to circulation, appropriation, manipulation, reproduction and redistribution. Although many of the examples she offers in the text relate to cinema and film, one can identify how this might relate to the production and dissemination of images through print practice.
Steyerl defines the poor image as "a copy in motion. Its quality is bad, its resolution substandard. As it accelerates, it deteriorates. It is a ghost of an image, a preview, a thumbnail, an errant idea, an itinerant image distributed for free, squeezed through slow digital connections, compressed, reproduced, ripped, remixed, as well as copied and pasted into other channels of distribution."
In their own way, each artist in this exhibition has responded to the image. Whether a hastily-taken family snapshot bearing the sign of time's passing; or the appropriated digital image chosen for its capacity to be manipulated without recourse to copy rite laws. Despite the origins of ideas as being rooted in the image, the exhibited works by these four artists take their final form in sculpture, drawing and installation, where they find other means of extending the language and parameters of print beyond a preoccupation with "the poor image".

Zatkoff brilliant as Penguins beat Rangers
(The Sports Xchange) - Jeff Zatkoff stopped 35 shots in an unexpected and brilliant playoff debut, Patric Hornqvist frustrated New York at both ends of the ice while scoring three times and the Pittsburgh Penguins finally found a way to beat the Rangers in the post-season, winning 5-2 on Wednesday.
Hornqvist scored the game's first goal before the Rangers pulled star goaltender Henrik Lundqvist with an eye injury, set up Sidney Crosby for a breakaway goal in the second, and added two more goals in the third as the Penguins defeated the team that eliminated them the last two postseasons.
Pittsburgh was the NHL's hottest team down the stretch, winning 14 of 16, but that was with Marc-Andre Fleury and Matt Murray in net.
Neither goaltender played as Zatkoff, the No. 3 goalie who played once since Feb. 20, started when Fleury (concussion) couldn't go after taking part in the morning skate.
Zatkoff shut out the Rangers on 22 shots over the first two periods as Pittsburgh led 2-0.
He gave up a Derek Stepan goal on a 5-on-3 power play early in the third period and regrouped before rookie Tom Kuhnhackl scored short-handed to end what would have been a four-minute Rangers power play.
Stepan also scored twice -- getting his second slightly more than two minutes after Hornqvist scored his second -- on a power play, at 8:02 of the third.
Hornqvist later scored into an empty net, with Crosby picking up assists on Hornqvist's third-period goals.
The third playoff series in as many seasons between the longtime rivals was supposed to feature the two winningest goalies in this post-season. Continued...

The era of big government is over, and charities will deliver services more effectively than the state ever did. So say the advocates of maximising third sector involvement. Such organisations are better than the public sector behemoth at meeting user needs; they are more flexible, more joined up, more innovative, and better trusted - and they can ice the cake by encouraging voluntarism, generating a culture of community engagement, and helping build social cohesion. It is, so we are told, win-win.
Not so, say the critics on both right and left. Charities are for charity, and public services are for the state. Blurring the boundaries will damage the independence of the voluntary sector, which is vital if it is to carry out its core roles of campaigning against society's ills and acting as advocate for its needy and vulnerable. Public service contracts distort a charity's mission, and may even distort the nature of what it means to be a charity.
This is a parody of the positions - but only slightly. On the Commons public administration select committee, which I chair, we have rarely heard such diametrically opposed opinions as on our recently concluded inquiry into these questions. Our report, published today, is the first by a parliamentary committee on third sector issues. It is an attempt at a comprehensive, dispassionate assessment of the role of the sector in delivering public services. Others must decide if we have done justice to the complexity and the importance of the subject.
There is an undercurrent of fear in some parts of the voluntary sector that government really is trying to damage the independence of the sector, and remould it into an agent of the executive. The opposition, while calling for the sector's independence to be inviolate, is clear that it would involve the sector in delivering services more, not less, than now.
But how far is third sector involvement going? The challenge for us as a committee was to get behind the rhetoric and look at what was actually happening on the ground. The government may say that no service is off limits for third sector providers, but we do not (yet, at least) see great numbers of state schools and NHS hospitals run by charities or social enterprises. It is not unfeasible, though, that St John Ambulance could be providing every ambulance in some parts of the UK in a few years' time. Health minister Lord Darzi's report on the NHS last week will make it easier for social enterprises to work in patient care, while over at the Department for Work and Pensions, the secretary of state, James Purnell, has offered all private and voluntary sector organisations the "right to bid" for all welfare provision, even where services are not currently contracted out.
The truth is that the proportion of public services spending that goes into the third sector is around 2%. The majority of third sector organisations still don't receive any funding from the state. Government spending on the sector, and particularly on service delivery contracts, is growing, but not at a rate that threatens to alter radically the nature of the sector.
This is important, because the scale of change has a direct bearing on the potential risks. Of course, it would be bad for Britain if grant funding disappeared, voluntary donations dried up, and hosts of charities became dependent on government contracts to survive. In those circumstances, clearly the independent voice of the sector would be under threat. But that scenario is fanciful. Grant funding is close to a historical high. The voluntary sector's total income reached £31bn in 2005-06, and £20bn of that came from sources other than government. The money is there, and the independent voice rings out on any number of issues.
So much for the apocalyptic vision of the future. But if the risks are being overstated, so too perhaps are the benefits of third sector provision. The assumption that charities and social enterprises will provide distinctive services is far from proven. Indeed, there are many in the sector itself who decry the suggestion that there is something distinctive about the way it works. Martin Narey, chief executive of Barnardo's, told us that it was unfair to suggest that the third sector had a monopoly of compassion. He was right.
A cursory glance at the breadth of the sector suggests that it is folly to try to identify global characteristics among all third sector organisations. We were told that certain characteristics flowed from the charitable ethos, and from the original intention that all third sector organisations were set up to do good. But all public sector organisations were set up to do good, too, and in any case, notions of "good" change over time. The Charity Commission uses the example of charities set up in the first world war to supply cigarettes to soldiers in hospitals. Few would now argue that the benefits of cigarettes as sedatives outweigh the downsides.
What does an organisation such as Eton College, or the Roman Catholic church, have in common with a community centre in my constituency? What do any of them have in common with Amnesty International? The truth it that it is daft to expect shared characteristics across an entire sector. And from that truth flow others. We cannot make general observations about the capacity of the "third sector" to contribute to "public services" - we can only make more limited judgments on, say, the capacity of private schools to contribute to managing city academies.
The government, to its credit, has got this message. Where once there were numerical targets for increasing the sector's contribution, now there is only a goal of increasing the sector's capacity. Perhaps this is a sign that the enthusiasm of the Blair years has slightly waned in the absence of evidence that it was justified. While examples abound of individual charities doing marvellous things, and we have seen many, what little evidence there is does not support the suggestion that services delivered in the third sector are necessarily more popular with their users. We have signed up to the ideology that there is no ideology in public services because "we do what works". Now we find that we don't know what works.
Cost efficiency
But there are some things we do know. We know that we will never find out the potential of different organisations if government does not commission from them in the right way. We know, as an example of that, that too many service-delivery contracts are unnecessarily short-term. We know, too, that many contracts are far too large for third sector organisations ever to compete for. Pressures of cost efficiency are too often allowed to triumph over consideration of service quality. A return to the dark days of compulsory competitive tendering would be good for nobody - and not even the CBI wants to go back there.
Ultimately, it must be right that each service is delivered by whoever will deliver the best results for service users. It is down to the commissioners of that service to work out who that will be. If we can understand what users look for in a service, and choose our providers on that basis, then that will be at least half the battle won.
