A-67.140.582, duly registered in the Mercantile Registry of Barcelona in sheet number B- 513583 and whose contact e-mail address is info@justmoove.com.
XMOBA is the owner or licensee of the intellectual property rights or any other type of application "Justmoove App" (hereinafter, the "Application" or the "App" or "Justmoove").
The Application will be available for download on the App Store and Google Play.

b. That he/she assumes all the obligations set forth herein.
c. That is of legal age and has sufficient legal capacity to use the Application and benefit from the services provided by it.
The Parking Services and the Convenience Services shall be referred to collectively, without distinction, as the "Partner Services" or the "Services".
For appropriate purposes, it is clarified that XMOBA may have a direct contractual relationship with the Partners or, alternatively, an indirect relationship through other third party intermediaries.
XMOBA reserves the right to modify, extend or reduce the scope of the Services of the Partners included in the Application, as well as to expand the offer of services offered through the Application, or to change its functions at any time, informing the Users and modifying, where appropriate, the present Conditions of Use, which must be expressly accepted by the Users.
(ii) Allow Users (if applicable) to request, reserve, cancel and, ultimately, facilitate the contracting of Partner Services.
(iii) To lease for use within the framework of the Convenience Services the authentication device (the "Access Device") provided by the corresponding Partner and which allows the entry and exit of the car parks included in the Parking Services. For appropriate purposes, it is clarified that the Access Device will work to enter or leave the car parks provided that these car parks have the necessary infrastructure for this purpose. In this sense, some car parks may require Users to take additional actions to allow their entry or exit.
(iv) Provide invoices for all transactions made by Users through the Application.
(v) Allow Users to consult service stations that are close to their location showing the price of fuel and distance from it.
Consequently, the Application puts in contact the different parties involved, that is, the Users with the Partners (as Service providers), the FS Pay System (as a payment gateway) and with eventual intermediaries of the Partners' Services.
The Services (i), (ii), (iii), (iv) and (v) above and offered by the Application shall be collectively referred to as the "Justmoove Services".
Users must download the Application in order to use the Justmoove Services. Downloading the Application is free of charge, for personal and non-commercial use. However, use of the App and Justmoove Services may be subject to the payment of Management Fees on the terms set out in clause 6. Likewise, use of the FS Pay System and use of the Partner Services will be subject to their own prices, fees, commissions or surcharges, as set out in their own terms and conditions of use.
The use of the Application and the Justmoove Services offered through it require a stable Internet connection and data consumption. XMOBA is not responsible for the costs arising from the communication and sending of data or Internet connection incurred by Users. Users may consult their telecommunications operators for further information.
These services allow the User to be geolocated and to show through the Application the parking spaces closest to their current location or the address searched for from the Application. Likewise, these services allow the payment (through the systems foreseen in these Conditions of Use) of parking spaces in certain car parks (on-street and off-street) that are private or in concession and that are located in Spanish territory or in other territories -according to the Partner that provides the service- and that will be indicated in the Application.
Users can find more information about the car parks available at any time in the Application (the "Available Car Parks").
Users will be able to access and leave the Available Car Parks either through the use of the Access Device or through the mechanisms foreseen in the Application. To this end, users must provide, among others, the registration data of their vehicle when they register in the application and create their User Account (as defined below).
Users will be able to find more information about the Access Device at www.justmoove.com and the prices applicable to the Application.
The providers of the Parking Services are companies that operate in this area.
These companies may require Users to accept their own terms and conditions of use and privacy policies applicable to the services they offer.
The Application integrates the functionalities of the corresponding Partners and others necessary (e.g. GPS) so that Users can locate the available parking spaces in the vicinity and make payments for the spaces in question, in accordance with the provisions herein.
Nevertheless, the Users will be responsible for the inclusion of the true data and the adequate information for the correct functioning of the functionalities that allow its location.
These services consist, among others, in providing Users with the VIA-T Device issued by the company Pagatelia, which allows payment through the electronic toll lanes enabled on all toll motorways in Spain, France and Portugal and certain off-street car parks in Spain and France or in the territories indicated in the Application at all times.
In order to benefit from these Convenience Services, Users must contract the Prime Subscription Services through the Justmoove application, thus obtaining the Pagatelia VIA-T Device.
For clarification purposes, Users are informed that the company that provides the VIA-T Device and, therefore, the one that manages the payments, is Pagatelia, with registered office at calle Segundo Mata, 6, Oficina 2 Edificio Estación (Pozuelo de Alarcón), Madrid, and whose CIF is B86058294. The company in question safeguards the funds received for the execution of payment operations by keeping them in a bank account separate from its own funds.
XMOBA is not responsible for the services provided by this entity, and the Users who contract them must expressly accept the conditions of use of Pagatelia's services, accessible through the following link: https://www.pagatelia.com. For clarification purposes, only the terms and conditions of said Partner that are not expressly regulated by the present Conditions of Use or in the conditions that are applicable according to the selected payment system will be applicable to the User.
The FS Pay System consists of a payment gateway operated by Volkswagen Finance II S.A. through which the User can pay directly or indirectly for the Services of the Partners. XMOBA does not intervene in the provision of the payment service provided by FS Pay.
The FS Pay System allows Users to satisfy the corresponding Partner with the price derived from the use of the Parking Services.
Some of the Available Parking may be paid by consumers directly through the FS Pay System or indirectly through the VIA-T Device, depending on which system is accepted by the available parking that is required.
It shall be the User's responsibility to ensure that the FS Pay System or the VIA-T Device is an accepted payment method for the parking lot in question before proceeding to payment. In this sense, the fact that a parking space could have been selected through the Application does not necessarily imply that the parking space is actually available, neither that the FS Pay payment method is valid for that space in question.
For appropriate purposes, Users are informed that some Available Car Parks may require Users to take additional actions to access them (e.g. obtaining an access ticket).
The User will only be able to assume that the payment has been made correctly once the corresponding confirmation has been received.
If the FS Pay System is temporarily interrupted or out of service, the User will continue to be responsible and obliged to pay the price of the Parking Services used. In such a case, alternative payment methods must be used depending on the car park in question (e.g. the purchase of a ticket at the car park ticket machine or at the counter).
Payment for Convenience Services will be made through the VIA-T Device, which will connect to the FS Pay System. The VIA-T Device may be purchased by Users in accordance with the provisions of the Application. Payment for the rental of the VIA-T Device shall be made directly to XMOBA, under the terms set forth in clause 3.2.
It is the User's responsibility to ensure that the VIA-T Device is an accepted method of payment to pay on the toll motorways on which you drive before proceeding with payment.
If the VIA-T Device and/or the FS Pay System are temporarily interrupted or out of service, the User will continue to be responsible and obliged to pay the price of the tolls on which he or she is travelling. In this case, alternative payment methods must be used (e.g. manual or card payment in the toll booths of the toll in question).
Through the application, users will be able to consult their transactions in the "expense history" section.
Through the web portal https://portal.justmoove.com, the Users who have contracted the Prime Subscription Services may download the invoices issued by the reference Partner or by XMOBA with respect to the countries in which said download is possible as reported in the Application, depending on which entity provides the service, corresponding to the transactions carried out or the services contracted through the Application and accumulated by monthly periods (the "Invoices").
As an example, the Invoices shall include the prices, tariffs, taxes, surcharges and/or management charges applicable to you for the use of the Partners' Services, the FS Pay System, the rental of the VIA-T Device, the Justmoove Services and any other services.
Invoices shall include a breakdown of all available transactions made by Users through the App during the immediately preceding month.
Users will be informed of the identity or distinctive signs of the Partners providing the Parking Services.
In consideration for Justmoove Services, Users will be required to pay – according to the Justmoove Services modality of their choice – certain management fees (the "Management Fees").
a) Basic Services or Freemium: are all those basic Justmoove Services that are activated and available to any User by the simple fact of having a User Account in the Application (e.g. location, location of Available Parking on-street, location of service stations according to fuel price and distance). It is possible that each one of the services requires some specific personal data of the User: driver's license, payment method, car license plate, etc. Basic Services or Freemium may involve the payment of Management Fees in addition to the payment to be made to Partners for the use of Partner Services, in accordance with their own terms and conditions. Such services will be invoiced to Users after each service contracted and paid for.
b) Prime Subscription Services or Prime Business: are those Justmoove Services for which Users must subscribe in order to have them activated and available for use (e.g. availability of downloading the monthly invoice for the Services of the Partners enjoyed, the acquisition of payment devices such as the VIA-T Device, etc.). Prime Subscription Services or Prime Business will be applicable Management Fees that will be billed to Users on a monthly basis. The specific amounts of Management Fees will be specified in the Application or on the website accessible through the following link: www.justmoove.com. For clarification purposes, it is noted that the price for the use of the Partner Services by the User is independent of the Management Fees associated with the Prime Subscription Services or Prime Business.
Management Fees may consist of an applicable percentage of the transactions made by Users through the Application or a fixed amount in euros. Management Expenses will be payable monthly or annually, along with other prices, tariffs, commissions, surcharges or other concepts that correspond to them to pay and that will be reflected in the Invoices. Fees will be deducted or added to the amount of the Invoices for any errors or system failures.
The User declares that the means of payment used has sufficient funds to cover all costs resulting from the purchase of products and services through the Application.
d) If the owner does not contest and indicate to XMOBA the unauthorized transaction or incorrectly executed within the legal period from the date of the transaction.
For this purpose, it is clarified that if any transaction is registered but the associated payment method is not valid at the time it is made, the payment will continue to be the responsibility of the User. To this end, the Partner will have the right to claim payment of the amounts owed, as well as to communicate the non-payment to files relating to the fulfillment or breach of monetary obligations, upon request for payment to the User and subject to current legislation. Similarly, XMOBA may communicate the User's data to the aforementioned files on the fulfilment or non-compliance with monetary obligations when the User fails to pay the certain, due and payable debts that it has with XMOBA after having been previously requested to pay them.
The Owner User may cancel his/her User Account and unsubscribe from the Justmoove Services in accordance with the provisions of clause 7, without penalties. However, this cancellation will entail the return of the payment devices associated with your User Account (or alternatively the amount available in the Application), as well as the assumption by the User of the Management Expenses generated by the transactions carried out until the effective date of receipt of such payment devices by XMOBA, after their return.
If the devices are not effectively returned within a maximum period of thirty (30) days from the notification to XMOBA of the cancellation of the User Account, the User must pay a penalization of 30 euros.
The process of returning the payment devices (e.g. the VIA-T Device) and the details on the distribution of the shipping costs will be shown in the Application at the time of Cancellation of the User Account and will be sent to the address of the provider of the same and in accordance with the terms and conditions that apply or as per the process indicated in the Application.

A fire many years ago gutted the wooden portion of the old mill, leaving only the towering end walls still standing. In the intervening years, a tin-clad barn has been built in the burned-out gap. No longer used, the barn now sheds sheets of tin like dry scales. Standing on the backside of the small town, surrounded by chainlink and weeds, the buttressed end walls still gleam in the sunlight of the passing days.
From the Ashes Tall Chest pays homage to the enduring archetypal presence of old mills on the outskirts of small towns up and down the Great Plains. Face and back frames of the Tall Chest are made of 2x lumber salvaged from Grandpa Anton Bucher's barn. Tin patches that once covered weathered siding on the south side of the barn are now door panels and cabinet side cladding. An abandoned homestead on Commission Creek in eastern Lipscomb County, Texas provided the green painted lumber for the Tall Chest door frame and baseboards. A buggy step has become the door pull.
The drought of the late '50s kept hanging on and cattle prices stayed bottomed out. Grandma Bucher lived on the farm by herself. Grandpa had died a few years earlier. The south side of the barn needed repairs where the south wind and the corral sand had weathered the siding to the point that the cracks outnumbered solid wood. My late father-in-law, Frank Bucher, made the patches with the only tin he could come up with: old flattened tar tins with soldered joints. The patchwork tin quilt lasted forty–plus years. Painted, scoured by wind and sand, rusted, and painted again, the special patinated tin now graces the case of the South Wind Reliquary Table.
Red mopboard from Charlie's Place in Lipscomb, Texas has become the frame for the Reliquary Table. A large man with a stiff shock of hair and a perpetual scowl, Charlie was feared by all the Lipscomb kids. Afternoon card games seemed to be Charlie's main pastime. Frequently, he would declare that he was just going to have to shoot someone when he suspected one of his card cronies was cheating. As far as I know, no one ever got shot.
Two bales worth of baling wire secures the stretcher rods at the base of the Reliquary Table.
According to the stories about Charlie Lynch of Lipscomb, Texas, the bright red mopboards salvaged from his old house say a lot about his personality. With a stiff shock of hair, bushy eyebrows, and a perpetual scowl, Charlie had the Lipscomb kids convinced he was the wild man. They gave his house a wide berth.
Charlie and his cronies spent most afternoons at Charlie's place playing the card game "pitch." The games would last for several hours until Charlie would become convinced that cheating had occurred and he was just going to have to get his gun and "shoot somebody." The red mopboards had no noticeable bullet holes and the old timers cannot recall Charlie actually firing his gun.
For the Wild Man End Tables the red boards are combined with brown window trim from an old house on Commission Creek in Lipscomb County, Texas. The house has been vacant for forty-five years. Trees now taller than the house grow where the front porch stood. A few clothes still hang in a downstairs closet. Upstairs, ceiling bead boards hang in a loose maze of arcs and droops, and the floor, more often than not, breaks through with dry rot.
Sections of woven security fencing made by the Fort Worth Fence Company are used as door panels. Door and drawer pulls are oil field tank hatch bolts.
One branch of the Lipscomb County, Texas and Ellis County, Oklahoma pioneering family–the Waltons–homesteaded in the Wolf Creek valley northeast of Shattuck, Oklahoma. About 112 years ago, as part of their first homestead improvements, they planted a pear tree. The tree thrived in the rich sub-irrigated soil. And the Waltons managed to make a go of it and raise a large family.
Disaster struck the family one night when Wolf Creek roared down from the west and flooded the valley. Seeing that escape to higher ground was impossible, and that the house would soon be swept away, the entire family managed to climb into the branches of the pear tree and ride out the flood.
In later years, insects and a small twister finally brought the old tree down. A high branch with a nice arch to it survived the great fall. Now resawn and sanded, it braces the Above the Flood Wall Cabinet. Scrap portions from an old bedroom door have a new use as drawer front and top door panel on the cabinet. The bottom panel and drawer backplate are cut from a purple Mystik oil drum lid.
The lady has been gone over fifty years now. Her house, still regal and proud, even as it slowly weathers in, sits high above the cut of Antelope Creek. Black branches of creek elm and locust protect the secrets of the old house.
In the early 1890s she married an Englishman who had cowboyed his way south from Kansas. They filed on the Antelope Creek land and he hauled lumber from the railhead thirty miles south to build her a house. With large dormers pointing to the four directions, a wide porch, high ceilings, and wide moldings, the house impressed all who saw it.
Her Englishman died a few years after the house was completed. She stayed on the place, raising thoroughbreds and cattle, breaking her own horses, and doing all of the chores. She owned a black Lincoln Zephyr, though she never learned to drive, and would hire a young neighbor to drive her to town when she needed supplies.
All of the painted parts of the Iron Lady Looking Glass are recycled from the four dormer house: blue from the large front room, yellow from an upstairs bedroom, and black trim cut from the remains of the screen door. Rust-striped Tennessee V-drain tin is used for the back panels, and amber mica encloses the top of the Looking Glass.
On rare High Plains winter days when atmospheric conditions are just so, a cold weather or winter mirage can occur. Rather than the shimmering watery illusion of warm weather mirages, the winter variety causes structures and objects to appear much taller than normal and the horizon sight line seems to bend upward. Every tank battery stands out and grain elevators double in height. Across the flats, the canyons and breaks of the caprock country can be glimpsed, where on a normal day, only the flat horizon of the Llano is evident.
The floating Winter Mirage Wall Cabinet pays homage to this High Plains phenomenon. The last of the white interior trim salvaged from an abandoned Willow Creek homestead is recycled into door frames, side panels, and drawer front. Door panels are sections of "reel batts" once used on a John Deere 45 combine. With its little twelve-foot header, the 45 looked like a lawn mower tackling a wheat field, but it got the job done when the custom cutters were nowhere to be found.
The porch columns are gradually sliding from their crumbling concrete bases. Another year of wind and weather and the porch roof of the big four-dormer house will probably sag nearer the ground. Underneath the precarious overhang, green door and window trim contrasts with the weathered white paint on the lap siding.
North of the house stands a crippled windmill tower. The remains of a six-foot Dempster mill lie at the base of the tower. Damage to the mill seems limited to a couple of sail sections, but several parts are missing; either buried in the grass or robbed to repair another mill.
Salvaged from the once-grand front porch, some of the green trim is joined up with the Dempster windmill sails for a second chance in the Wind Blade Reliquary Table.
In 1899, thirty rough wagon miles separated the Englishman's homesite near Wolf Creek from the railhead to the south at Canadian, Texas. Nevertheless, he freighted loads of top grade southern longleaf pine lumber to build his bride a well-crafted, two-story house. With high ceilings, large windows, and an expansive porch, the house commands a view of the short grass country just above the steep cut of Antelope Creek.
Pink door casing and part of a closet door from the front bedroom are recycled into the Cowboy's Dream Sideboard. Wide baseboard provided flat stock for the sideboard door frames. Another old homestead, far to the southeast along Commission Creek, yielded a faded blue-green door for the face frame and top panels on the sideboard. Door and side panels are cut from the remains of an old standby generator housing located in a junk pile north of the Commission Creek house.
Legs for the sideboard are fashioned from brass bar foot rail and brackets salvaged out of a Wyoming bar. No old bars remain in our part of the Texas Panhandle. About the time the Englishman was hauling lumber for his home, Canadian boasted thirteen saloons and two churches. Then the Women's Christian Temperance Union went into action. Carrie Nation herself even paid a visit to Canadian. Today the town has thirteen churches and no saloons.
The bottom had long since rusted out of the small stock tank, and there were old bolt plugs–too numerous to count–dotted around the remaining heavy gauge sides. Dumped in a washout, the half-buried tank still showed a cow-rubbed, watery patina that caught my eye. Unplugged sections of the tank are banded and riveted together to form the case sides for the Stock Tank Reliquary Table.
Green doorjambs reclaimed from an upstairs bedroom in an old Wolf Creek homestead in Lipscomb County, Texas make up the top frame. The jambs are part of the loads of longleaf pine hauled in by wagon when the house was built in 1900.
Sections of oil field tank battery bracing serve as center sections in the table legs. And three bales worth of baling wire bind the stretcher rods together.
Back in the 50's, when the drought still had a stranglehold on the Panhandle and cattle prices were at their lowest, the old barn needed some maintenance. The siding on the north side had taken a lot of northers over the years. New tin cost too much, so old tar tins were flattened, soldered together, and nailed over the wood siding.
Another fifty years of weather and several generations of cattle rubbing on the barn have given the tin a special patina. The siding, though protected by the tin, no longer will hold a nail and termites have damaged the wall frame. Time to salvage the still-usable parts of the barn.
Cut from areas between the solder joints, sections of the old tar tins have become top panels on the North Wind Sofa Table. The metal table frame is welded up from straight sections of tubing chopped out of bent-up oil field location fencing. One too many saltwater trucks had backed into the lightweight fence, so it wound up in the scrap pile. A section of gray door casing from a Depression-era house has become the drawer front. The drawer box is bound to the frame with two bales worth of baling wire.
Two complete wagon endgate rods are pulled from the iron pile. Then two short rods, their threaded ends missing, are discovered–enough for stretchers on the Endgate Hall Table. The wingnut handle from one of the full rods now serves as the drawer pull. Two bales worth of baling wire binds the drawer box to the frame.
A rough-sawn oak plank destined for stock trailer flooring provides the tabletop framing. And gumwood stored in a Canadian, Texas carpenter's shop for forty years, sees the light of day as panels in the oak frame.
When good neighbor Lloyd stopped by with his latest junk offering, he really had me stumped. He had some sort of shallow, boat-shaped metal object. Noting with satisfaction my puzzled look, he finally explained that the odd offering was two refrigerator door shells bolted end to end.
Okay, I could see that now, but why? Seems the late Omar Owens of Lipscomb, Texas needed a cattle feed, or "cake" trough, so he came up with the refrigerator door combination. The "trough" had acquired quite an unusual patina and is of such heavy gauge metal that the years of cattle tromping did not dent it up too seriously.
A new load of reclaimed interior trim had a batch of odd blue door and window casing, the perfect pairing for the trough tin. Back porch siding has been made into side panels on the Cake Trough Pantry.
The old house out on Antelope Creek in Lipscomb County, Texas has four large dormers, one for each direction. Of the four, the south one is–or has been–the best. Both upstairs bedrooms open out on an open sitting area under the dormer roof. It had to have been a beloved spot for the long-gone folks who called the place home. The view, framed by large elms and locusts, takes in the short grass country that slopes down to the wooded cut of the creek.
Turquoise bead board from the dormer ceiling above the sitting area gets a second chance as door case and top panels for the South Dormer Sideboard. Yellow bedroom doors and trim are remade for the sideboard case doors and drawer fronts. Special purple tin has been cut from a "Mystik Oil" 55-gallon drum for door panels. Door and drawer pulls are some sort of binder ports for twine or wire. The cabinet base has been welded up from scrap from various castoff piles.
Even though the day is gray and cool, I keep expecting some critter to run up my arm as I dig through the old Bybee windmill graveyard south of the tracks in Higgins, Texas. Down in the tangled mess of sail sections and vanes, I spot the outline of a Monitor Self Oiling vane. Finally extricated, I see to my disappointment that the writing has weathered off and the vane stem is corkscrewed clear around the vane, victim of a long-ago windmill wreck. But the other side of the vane sheet lifts my spirits. Protected from the elements during its entombment in the bone pile, the lampblack and linseed oil script is clear and readable.
Parts from various mill vane stems are combined for the cabinet base, with help from a few strands of baling wire. A Dempster mill provided wheel bands for the handle and top struts. A short blue board from the Robison place southwest of Canadian, Texas is long enough for the drawer fronts. Drawer pulls are brass spools from windmill wellchecks.
Windmillers as a rule do not like Dempster mills. First of all, the Dempsters last too long, and secondly, when they do wear out they are a bear to work on. Years ago we had a 6-foot Dempster over on Aunt Pearl's place. Worn out past repairing, the little mill had to be replaced, and its old pipe tower, with daylight showing through rust-outs, had to come down as well.
I could not bear to get rid of the used-up mill parts, and the tower legs had too fine a rust texture and cattle-rubbed patina to just discard in the scrap pile. The Vane Dempster cabinet gives the mill a second life. Sections of a tower leg become cabinet legs. Windmill sails, chopped in half and combined with orange tin from a 55-gallon barrel, now clad the cabinet sides.
Green door and window trim salvaged from a homestead porch now frame out the Dempster No. 12 vane sheet cabinet doors. Wellcheck brass spools have become door pulls.
With each scrambling climb I make out of the deep draw, clutching another castoff windmill part, I wonder if I am lacking in good sense and if all my wheezing and sweating could ever pay off. I am after old windmill vane sheets (or tails). The windmill bone pile at the bottom of the draw holds quite a collection, but after several climbs I am becoming more selective.
Most of the vane sheets are from Aermotor mills, and most of these are victims of a common Aermotor wreck where the stub on the mill head broke off, allowing the vane to slam into the wheel during a high wind. Gashes from the sharp sails mark the vanes in the lower front angle.
Back at the barn, disentangling and unloading my treasure, I discover an odd coincidence for one windmill bone pile; one vane bears the stamp "White House Lumber, Higgins (Texas)," another the "White House Lumber, Glazier," and still another, "White House Lumber, Canadian." From the lettering on the vane sheets I can guess that the mills were 702's made between 1933 and 1964. The Glazier mill had to have been sold prior to 1947 because the Glazier White House Lumber blew away in the April 9, 1947, tornado. Unfortunately, the Canadian vane is badly damaged right where the White House Lumber stamp was placed, making it barely readable.
The least-holey sections of the old vanes are now panels for the Windmiller's Tall Chest. The distinctive Aermotor vane contour helped determine the shape of the Tall Chest. Legs for the chest are parts of the old awning from the Brainard bank building in Canadian. "Adjustable" feet and crown pieces on the legs are parts of brass windmill checks. A bottom check collar serves as the door pull. Drawer pulls are check spools. Tongue and groove yellow pine siding, from the wagon driveway section of Anton Bucher's old barn, have become the case framework. Granary boards, the only straight ones from the barn, are now the face frame and door.
The farm wagon had been used for the last time about 1948. Parked out in the sage above Dugout Creek, the old wagon settled down into the sand. Wheel spokes rotted away and termites took the box. Only the axles and metal parts of the undercarriage remained. Many rusty bolts later, axle straps and tie-rods from the Dugout creek wagon become side braces and handles on the Running Gear Sideboard.
Southwest of Dugout Creek across Wolf Creek, half hidden in a grove of trees, stands an abandoned homestead. Large dormers point to the four directions. The south dormer must have been a fine spot in early days. Two of the upstairs rooms opened out onto a small sitting porch sheltered by the dormer roof. Turquoise bead boards covered the porch ceiling. Side and top panels of the sideboard are made of these bead boards.
Fir car siding reclaimed from a house remodel is now the main wood for the case and door frames. Door panels are cut from a 55-gallon Mystik oil drum.
The porch posts started out in South Carolina, then they made the trip to Texas lashed to the top of a friend's car. She had been working on a South Carolina movie set filming a California western. The prop crew gave her the posts. I inherited the posts when the friend decided they would not work for her building remodel.
A Lubbock, Texas salvage run to gather the remnants of a neighborhood fast disappearing ahead of a huge urban development project has me thinking about the life cycles of communities. Houses and neighborhoods age and change. The porches on the older homes tell the tales.
reclaimed interior trim from the Jones house in Higgins, Texas. Constructed of recycled parts from various old structures, the Jones House sat over a dugout cellar, or basement– dirt walls and an odd tilting stairway. Having lived in the house only a few years after its construction–sometime in the mid-'30's, Mrs. Jones became convinced that the house was haunted. She moved out. Made Mr. Jones build a new house on the lot next door.
No dire or strange occurrences happened during the salvage work on the Jones house. Stayed out of the cellar, though. We did discover a flask of thick, amber liquid stashed behind the door jamb at the top of the cellar stairs.
Sheet metal door panels for the meditation cabinet are portions of a J.I. Case threshing machine. Window handles from the Lubbock trip are now door and drawer pulls. The top gable peak is a top from an old pump organ, and the white front panel came from a homestead front door. The small top spindles are gleaned from about three different screen doors.
Wish I could have seen the travel trailer in its early days, either the green or silver phase. No doubt, it was homemade—thousands of screws holding a crazy quilt of tin, joints doped with thick aluminum trailer paint. Traveling in name only, the old trailer had to be dismantled in order to clean up and sell the property. But save the tin, Cleta declared, Doug can use it. So that is how I inherited a formidable stack of odd-colored tin. And now some of the greenest tin has become top panels for the Traveling Spirit Hall Table.
The spirit part comes from the haunted Jones house in Higgins, Texas. No ghosts were in evidence during the salvage work. Back in the late '30's, though, Mrs. Jones was so convinced that the house was haunted she moved out. Then she had Mr. Jones build a new house next door. The back door of the haunted house yielded just enough lumber to frame out the tin panels. Pink on the drawer box comes from a room in the house where newspaper padding under the old linoleum dates from 1938. The drawer box is lashed to the table with two bales worth of baling wire. A wagon endgate wingnut serves as the drawer pull.
We raised chickens, never hogs, so the metal hog feeder worked out as a fair granary for the chicken feed. But eventually the bottom rusted out, and the hog feeder remains were laid to rest down in the pasture by the scrap pile. The idea for the demi-lune table came around and the curve of the feeder caught my eye. So the radius of the top rim determines the arch of the demi-lune top. A section of the rim-iron bands the top board and a section of the feeder lid skirts the edge.
Interior trim boards from the Appel homestead on Willow Creek make up the top. Red boards are some of the last reclaimed parts from a farmhouse out in the western part of the Texas Panhandle. I got in the middle of a family feud during that salvage run. All worked out okay in the end. But my hide still gets prickly when I see that red trim.
The table feet, or more properly, anchors, are International Harvester tool-bar saddles from the corn country near Yuma, Colorado.
Even though she saves everything, Marie Schneider's place southeast of Lipscomb, Texas is clean and orderly. When looking back on the changes that have occurred during her eighty-four years, Marie considers the weedeater one of the greatest inventions. So it came as no surprise when she pulled a neatly wired bundle of combine reel batts or beater boards out of her shed. Years ago Marie had put a new set on a John Deere 55 combine, and the used set had been stored away—just in case.
Sections of one of the thin boards, the surface and edges sculpted by years of grain and straw, become door and case panels for the Harvest Mirage. Combine elevator chain links help buckle down a rim band fashioned from windmill tower cross strapping. Marie also saved–and was able to find–the beater board bolts. Two of these bolts secure a section of buggy hardware for the door handle.
Interior mopboard and door casing reclaimed from a Wolf Creek valley ranch house are reassembled for the Harvest Mirage cabinet and door frame. Built in 1900 of southern longleaf pine, hauled by wagon from the railhead at Canadian thirty miles to the south, the grand old house stands silent now, slowly weathering down. The rancher, an Englishman, died soon after the house was completed, leaving his young widow alone on the ranch. But she, like Marie, was a capable and determined woman. For forty years she fed cattle, broke horses, maintained the house, and got along just fine.
The Huntoon grain elevators thrust above northern Panhandle ground so flat that you can sense the curve of the earth dropping away in all directions. Across the switch tracks, down the caliche road about four miles, and just over the state line in Oklahoma, is the old Hummer family farmstead. Gravity and wind are gradually bringing the bow-truss barn down. Termites and time are working on the proud little farmhouse.
Blue door and window trim reclaimed from the interior of the house now frames the Huntoon Traveler chest. And a scrap of back bedroom linoleum provides the door center panels. A scrap of a 1933 Country Gentleman magazine is discovered under the window seat. I can't help but shudder when I think of what this patch of No Man's Land must have been like in '33. But I know that the Hummers stuck it out, raised their children, and lived out their days here. Cladding the Huntoon Traveler is a patchwork of tin from a 1941 travel trailer. Made in Caddo Mills north of Dallas and hauled to Houston in 1942, the trailer was home for a family of five while the dad worked in a defense plant. After the war, family and trailer moved to Wichita Falls. From then on the only traveling the trailer did was from one yard to the next as the family took up more permanent housing. A 1957 tornado picked the little trailer up and laid it on its side. No worse for wear, the trailer was righted and went on serving as a storage building until a recent sale of the property necessitated a dismantling.
The steel base for the chest is welded up from recycled parts of an oil field tank battery fence. Backed into one too many times by the salt water haulers, the fence was scrapped in favor of heavy pipe.
Door pulls are courtesy of a 1950 Chevy. Prairie fires over the years cooked most of the car, but the window crank and door handle came through it all in good shape.
In 1906 my maternal grandmother and her family traveled by wagon out of Indian Territory and into the Texas Panhandle. They forded the Canadian River and passed through Canadian, Texas on their way up to the Llano. That same year a gable roof, false front building was built on Canadian's 2nd Street. The clapboard building became Canadian's first funeral home. Then it became a bank, and still later a mercantile. With the passing of the mercantile, a feed store moved in. Years of decline followed until an ambitious remodel resurrected the building for a brand new business. Some of the original interior car-siding or tongue and groove boards have now become the Rim Iron Lookout. Tacks visible in the boards once held cheesecloth for wallpaper backing. The wallpaper was torn off during one of the building's incarnations and from then on the walls received various coats of paint.
Crown molding from the building's exterior frames out the top of the cabinet. The "barrel vault" is a section of porch column from Peg Robison's place southwest of Canadian. A lister planter plate caps off the column section. Though I made use of the porch post, I made sure that Peg's old wooden leg, complete with weathered cowboy boot, stayed with the remains of the house.
Front panels are cut out of a feed trough made from two old refrigerator door shells. Omar Owens of Lipscomb came up with the special trough design and his cattle provided the patina.
Bed frame angle iron now serves as legs for the cabinet. And the shape of the stand top is determined by the radius of a rim-iron, borrowed from a rusted-out hog feeder.
A spotted cow stares at me through a gap in the boards on the west wall. Hot August wind blows accumulated dust back at me as I work on the south wall. More boards come off and I can squint south across flat, drought-baked fields to the state line road and the northern edge of the Texas Panhandle. The small garage where I am salvaging is part of the Hummer family farm located in southern Beaver County of the Oklahoma Panhandle, that narrow strip of land once known as No Man's Land. In the heat and dust it is easy for me to conjure up visions of the Hummers as they hauled water from a neighbor's house two miles away for thirteen years until they got a well of their own. Or how hard it was for them to stick it out during the 30's.
A stock panel now keeps the spotted cow and the rest of the herd from coming through the west wall of the garage. And the green interior boards have become part of the No Man's Land Sentinel. The last two red siding boards from the south wall provide enough lumber for the front and back frames on the Sentinel.
Door panels are cut from a sheet of corrugated tin that clad a corral shed on the Shaller Ranch south of the Canadian River in Hemphill County, Texas. Insuring good anchor against the Panhandle winds, tool-bar saddles from a plow up in the corn country around Yuma, Colorado forms the base on the Sentinel cabinet.
Fields roll out in all directions. The grain elevators to the south shimmer in the heat. The only sparse shade to be found comes from the elm trees scattered around the abandoned farmhouse.
Inside, blue floral linoleum shows through the layer of dust in the back bedroom. Large north windows let in an abundance of hazy light. In the middle of the room, a lonesome box of old books and farm conservation plans hints at past days of family and seasons of work. "Tarzan" by Edgar Rice Burroughs opens with a small cloud of dust; a name written in young boy script on the title page. Trim boards reclaimed from the bedroom now make up the framework of the Over The Line Hall Table.
Tin panels for the tabletop were once part of the skin covering a 1940's homemade travel trailer. Table edge banding is cut from roof tin once used on corral buildings for the Tyson Ranch east of Lipscomb, Texas.
An old farmstead out in Hutchinson County, Texas, abandoned since 1949 yielded interior trim with a layer of grime and soot, courtesy of the "sour gas" from the nearby gas field that the couple heated with. Cleaned and sanded, part of the trim has become drawer fronts for the Over The Line Table.
Chopped down gas tank angle iron legs now support the table. Old windmill cutoff chain braces to the baling wire-wrapped stretcher rods.
The rusty tin was all that remained of the burned-up chicken house. With splits backed by purple metal from a 55-gallon Mystik oil barrel, the chicken house tin now clads the Huntoon Mystik Mirror. Trim from a little farmhouse, north of the Huntoon grain elevators in the northern Texas Panhandle, now frames out the mirror.
Doug made this Art from the Ruins "sampler" for programs conducted about the exhibit when the Canadian Arts Alliance was promoting the project in 2002-2003.

If you missed the Senate hearing on "The Right of the People Peaceably to Assemble: Protecting Speech by Stopping Anarchist Violence" chaired by Senator Ted Cruz, you missed Senator Cruz at his finest.
He was serious, he was sharp, he asked incisive questions, and he got under the skin of the Senate's dumbest member, Democrat Senator Mazie Hirono of Hawaii, to the point that she got up and walked out of the hearing.
Senator Cruz made a series of great points about the BLM and ANTIFA inspired violence going on in Democrat-run cities, and the failure of Democrats to criticize it, let alone stop it.
Senator Cruz teed-up his remarks by showing a video that we recommend sending around to your networks, especially to anyone who is inclined to not look past the slogan "Black Lives Matter" and to be sympathetic to the so-called "protestors" burning down Democrat-run cities.
Here's a link to the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MSLgBRH_Cfo&feature=youtu.be [18]
Here's a link to the Blaze TV coverage of the hearing:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1qOnL3oKe3A&feature=youtu.be [19]
Sen. Cruz opened the hearing by making the points that:
What began as legitimate protests against a vile act of abuse sadly were soon hijacked by opportunists and violent radicals. [...]The fact is, the people who took to the streets because their hearts cried out for justice have become overshadowed by rioters and looters and those who cynically exploit the protests for their own evil ends. And those rioters aren't concerned about racial justice. Indeed, they're willing to make a mockery of the peaceful protest to advance their violent objectives. Their actions are profoundly racist, the rioters as they destroy minority communities, minority businesses, and minority lives across the country.
This shouldn't be complicated. Peaceful protests must be protected. Riots must be stopped. No one has the right to assault another person, to firebomb a building, to throw a Molotov cocktail into a police car. That's not exercising a constitutional right-that's terrorizing your fellow citizens.
More and more we're seeing signs that a significant portion of this violence, of this rioting, is not random. It is not spontaneous. Rather, it is coordinated and inspired by leftist, anarchist groups like antifa-groups that will, without shame, exploit a national tragedy to attack American buildings, American homes, and American lives.
This violence speaks for itself. But for good measure in graffiti on the county courthouse they wrote: 'Until the police and ICE are abolished, we will burn this city down piece by piece.' They are telling is what their demands are. To shut down and abolish the police. This violence should be universally condemned.
All 100 senators ought to come together and say, 'Don't murder your fellow citizens. Don't attack police officers. Protect each other's rights.'
Instead of seeing leaders united, we're seeing too many local officials, mayors and governors, who have made a cynical decision that it's in their partisan interest to turn a blind eye to this violence. To turn a blind eye to the law enforcement officers being attacked on a nightly basis. And even worse than that, to demonize the police officers. To throw out terms like 'storm troopers' and 'gestapo' to describe federal law enforcement officers doing their jobs.
In support of his resolution to designate ANTIFA as a domestic terrorist organization Senator Cruz has also released two other videos that tell the story of ANTIFA's violence in graphic terms.
WATCH: Antifa's Terrorist Assault on America [20]
WATCH: We Will Defend America Against Violent Anarchists [21]
For the past several years Antifa has been on the streets, cloaked in black masks, and engaged in violent demonstrations in Portland, Oregon. Journalist Andy Ngo was hospitalized, others, including federal and local police officers, have been seriously injured after being attacked by members of the group. Over a year ago, on July 18, 2019, Senator Cruz and Senator Bill Cassidy of Louisiana introduced a resolution to designate ANTIFA as a terrorist organization.
So far, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has refused to bring the resolution to the floor. We urge CHQ readers and friends to call Senator McConnell to demand that he bring the resolution to a vote and force the Democrats to tell America which side they are on – the side of law and order, or the side of violence, arson and terror. The tollfree Capitol Switchboard is (1-866-220-0044), call right now.
The full text of the resolution is below.
Title: Calling for the designation of Antifa as a domestic terrorist organization.
Whereas members of Antifa, because they believe that free speech is equivalent to violence, have used threats of violence in the pursuit of suppressing opposing political ideologies;
Whereas Antifa represents opposition to the democratic ideals of peaceful assembly and free speech for all;
Whereas members of Antifa have physically assaulted journalists and other individuals during protests and riots in Berkeley, California;
Whereas in February of 2018, journalist Andy Ngo was intimidated and threatened with violence by protestors affiliated with Antifa;
Whereas on June 29, 2019, while covering demonstrations in Portland, Oregon, journalist Andy Ngo was physically attacked by protestors affiliated with Antifa;
Whereas employees of the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (referred to in this preamble as "ICE") were subjected to doxxing and violent threats after their social media profiles, phone numbers, and home addresses were posted on the Internet by left wing activists;
Whereas according to the Wall Street Journal, an ICE officer was followed by left wing activists and "confronted when he went to pick up his daughter from summer camp", and another "had his name and photo plastered on flyers outside his home accusing him of being part of the 'Gestapo'";
Whereas the ICE office in southwest Portland, Oregon, was shut down for days due to threats and occupation by Antifa members;
Whereas Rose City Antifa, an Antifa group founded in 2007 in Portland, Oregon, explicitly rejects the authority of law enforcement officers in the United States, and Federal, State, and local governments, to protect free speech and stop acts of violence;
Whereas Rose City Antifa rejects the civil treatment of individuals the group labels as fascists, stating: "We can't just argue against them; we have to prevent them from organizing by any means necessary."; and
Whereas there is no place for violence in the discourse between people in the United States, or in any civil society, because the United States is a place where there is a diversity of ideas and opinions: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the Senate-
(1) calls for the groups and organizations across the country who act under the banner of Antifa to be designated as domestic terrorist organizations;
(2) unequivocally condemns the violent actions of Antifa groups as unacceptable acts for anyone in the United States;
(3) expresses the need for the peaceful communication of varied ideas in the United States;
(4) urges any group or organizations in the United States to voice its opinions without using violence or threatening the health, safety, or well-being of any other persons, groups, or law enforcement officers in the United States; and
(5) calls upon the Federal Government to redouble its efforts, using all available and appropriate tools, to combat the spread of all forms of domestic terrorism, including White supremacist terrorism.

\section{Introduction}
\label{intro}
PSR\,B1823--13 (also known as PSR\,J1826--1334) is a 101 ms evolved
pulsar with a spin-down age of $T=2.1 \times 10^{4}$ years
\citep{Clifton} and in these properties very similar to the Vela
pulsar. It is located at a distance of $d=3.9\pm 0.4$
kpc~\citep{Cordes_Lazio} and {\it ROSAT} observations of this source
with limited photon statistics revealed a compact core, as well as an
extended diffuse nebula of size $\sim 5\arcmin$ south-west of the
pulsar~\citep{Finley}. High resolution {\it XMM-Newton} observations
of the pulsar region confirmed this asymmetric shape and size of the
diffuse nebula, which was hence given the name
G\,18.0--0.7~\citep{XMM}. For the compact core with extent
$R_{\mathrm{CN}}\sim 30\arcsec$ (CN: compact nebula) immediately
surrounding the pulsar, a photon index of
$\Gamma_{\mathrm{CN}}=1.6^{+0.1}_{-0.2}$ was measured with a
luminosity of $L_{\mathrm{CN}}\sim 9 d_4^2 \times 10^{32}$
erg\,s$^{-1}$ in the 0.5 to 10 keV range for a distance of $4d_4$
kpc. The corresponding pulsar wind shock radius is $R_s\leq 15\arcsec
= 0.3d_4$ pc. The compact core is embedded in a region of extended
diffuse emission which is clearly one-sided, revealing a structure
south of the pulsar, with an extension of $R_{\mathrm{EN}}\sim
5\arcmin$, (EN: extended nebula) whereas the $\sim 4\arcmin$ east-west
extension is symmetric around the north-south axis.  The spectrum of
this extended component is softer with a photon index of
$\Gamma_{\mathrm{EN}}\sim 2.3$, with a luminosity of
$L_{\mathrm{EN}}=3d_4^2\times 10^{33}$ erg\,s$^{-1}$ for the 0.5 to 10
keV interval. No associated supernova remnant (SNR) has been identified yet.

At $\gamma$-ray energies, PSR\,B1823--13 was proposed to power the
close-by unidentified EGRET source 3EG\,J1826--1302~\citep{EGRET}. TeV
observations of this pulsar by the Whipple and HEGRA Collaborations
resulted in only upper limits~\citep{WhipplePSR1823, HEGRASCAN}, which
are unconstraining with respect to H.E.S.S.

The region around PSR\,B1823--13 was observed as part of the survey of
the Galactic plane with the H.E.S.S. instrument~\citep{HESSSCAN}. In
this survey, a source of very high-energy (VHE) $\gamma$-rays
(HESS\,J1825--137) 11$'$ south of the pulsar was discovered with a
significance of 8.1 $\sigma$. We note that the new VHE $\gamma$-ray
source is located within the 95\% positional confidence level of the
EGRET source 3EG\,J1826--1302 and could therefore be related to this
as of yet unidentified object. The High Energy Stereoscopic System
(H.E.S.S.) is an array of four imaging atmospheric Cherenkov
telescopes located in the Khomas Highland of Namibia~\citep{HESS}. It
is designed for the observation of astrophysical sources in the energy
range from 100 GeV to several tens of TeV. The system was completed in
December 2003 and has already provided a number of significant
detections of galactic $\gamma$-ray sources. These include the first
detection of spatially extended emission from a pulsar wind nebula
(PWN) in very high-energy $\gamma$-rays~\citep{HESSMSH}. Each
H.E.S.S. telescope has a mirror area of 107 m$^2$~\citep{HESSOptics}
and the system is run in a coincidence mode~\citep{HESSTrigger}
requiring at least two of the four telescopes to have triggered in
each event. The H.E.S.S. instrument has an energy threshold of
$\approx$ 100~GeV at zenith, an angular resolution of $\sim
0.1^{\circ}$ per event and a point source sensitivity of
$<2.0\times\,10^{-13}$ cm$^{-2}$s$^{-1}$ (1\% of the flux from the
Crab Nebula) for a $5\,\sigma$ detection in a 25 hour observation.

\section{H.E.S.S. Observations and Results}

The first H.E.S.S. observations of this region occurred as part of a
systematic survey of the inner Galaxy from May to July 2004 (with 4.2
hours of exposure within 2$^{\circ}$ of HESS\,J1825--137).  Evidence
for a VHE $\gamma$-ray signal in these data triggered re-observations
from August to September 2004 (5.1 hours).  The mean zenith angle of
the observations was 31$^{\circ}$ and the mean offset ($\psi$) of the
source from the pointing direction of the system was
$0.9^{\circ}$. The off-axis sensitivity of the system derived from
Monte-Carlo simulations has been confirmed via observations of the
Crab Nebula~\citep{HESSCrab}. The data set corresponds to a total
live-time of 8.4 hours after application of run quality selection
based on weather and hardware conditions.

  ($\sigma_{\mathrm{source}}$) assuming a Gaussian brightness

  is also shown. The system acceptance is uniform at the 20\% level in
  a $0.6^{\circ}$ radius circle around HESS\,J1825--137.}
\label{fig:skymap}
\end{figure}

The standard scheme for the reconstruction of events was applied to
the data (see \citealt{HESS2155} for details). Cuts on the scaled
width and length of images (optimized on $\gamma$-ray simulations and
off-source data) were used to suppress the hadronic background. While
in the standard scheme an image size cut of 80 photoelectrons (pe) was
used to ensure well reconstructed images, in the search for weak
sources an additional image size cut of 200 pe was applied to achieve
optimum sensitivity. This cut reduces the background by a factor of 7
at the expense of an increased analysis threshold of 420~GeV. A model
of the field of view acceptance, derived from off-source runs, is used
to estimate the background. Fig.~\ref{fig:skymap} shows an
uncorrelated excess count map of the $1.6^{\circ}\times1.6^{\circ}$
region around HESS\,J1825--137. A clear and extended excess is
observed to the south of the pulsar PSR\,B1823--13.  Assuming a
radially symmetric Gaussian brightness profile ($\rho \propto
\exp(-\theta^{2}/2\sigma_{\mathrm{source}}^2)$) an extension of
$\sigma_{\mathrm{source}}\,=\,9.6\arcmin \pm2.0\arcmin$ is derived.
The best fit position for the centre of the excess lies at a distance
of 11.2\arcmin\, from PSR\,B1823--13 at 18h26m3s$\pm$7s,
-13\degr 45.7\arcmin$\pm$1.7\arcmin. On the scale of the measured
displacement the systematic H.E.S.S. pointing uncertainties of
20\arcsec are negligible. Fig.~\ref{fig::ExcessSlice} shows an
acceptance corrected excess slice through the region surrounding
HESS\,J1825--137, in the north-south direction, of width
0.4$^{\circ}$. The position of PSR\,B1823--13 is marked with a dotted
line. It can be seen that the VHE emission extends asymmetrically to
the south of the pulsar. Using the best-fit position we derive a
statistical significance of 8.1~$\sigma$ after accounting for all
trials involved in the search for sources~\citep{HESSSCAN}.  This
significance is obtained counting events within a circle of radius
$\theta = 0.22^{\circ}$ ($\theta^2 = 0.05$ deg$^{2}$), a value chosen
a priori for the search for extended sources~\citep{HESSSCAN}. Using a
larger angular cut appropriate to contain the complete emission region
of HESS\,J1825--137 of $\theta = 0.4^{\circ}$ an excess of 370 $\pm$
20 and a statistical significance of 13.4 $\sigma$ are derived.

\begin{figure}

\caption{Acceptance-corrected excess slice through the region
  surrounding HESS\,J1825--137 along the north-south direction of width

  one-sided nature of the emission with a slow decline to the south of
  the pulsar is evident.}
\label{fig::ExcessSlice}
\end{figure}

For spectral analysis, the looser image size cut of 80~pe and the wide
angular cut of $\theta < 0.4^{\circ}$ are applied to extend the source
spectrum to lower energies (resulting in a threshold of 230~GeV). To
reduce systematic errors, only runs with $\psi<1.5^{\circ}$ offset
from the on-region are used, resulting in a total livetime of 5.4
hours. The background is estimated from regions with equal offset
$\psi$ from the centre of the field of view, again to minimize
systematic errors. The derived spectral energy distribution is shown
in Fig.~\ref{fig:spectrum}. The H.E.S.S. spectrum can be fitted by a
power law in energy with photon index $2.40\pm0.09_{stat}\pm0.2_{sys}$
and a flux above 230~GeV of
$(3.4\pm0.2_{stat}\pm1.0_{sys})\,\times\,10^{-11}$ cm$^{-2}$s$^{-1}$
(corresponding to 12\% of the Crab flux above that energy). The fit
has a $\chi^2$/d.o.f. of 9.8/8. A spectral analysis using a 200~pe
image cut yields consistent results. We estimate the systematic error
on the absolute flux level to be 30\%. We find no evidence for
intra-night variability of the $\gamma$-ray flux. A fit of the
night-by-night $\gamma$-ray flux of the source to a constant value
yields a $\chi^2$/d.o.f. of 9.2/7.

\section{The association of HESS\,J1825--137 with G\,18.0--0.7}
\label{discussion}
HESS\,J1825--137 was discovered during an unbiased survey of the
galactic plane within the central $\pm 30\degr$ longitude sector.
Multiwavelength searches within a circle of radius
$\sigma_{\mathrm{source}}\sim 10\arcmin$ around the centre of gravity
revealed PSR\,B1823--13, at the edge of the source radius, as the only
plausible candidate counterpart. The discussion below investigates the
possibility of associating the pulsar and its nebula G18.0--0.7 with
HESS\,J1825--137.

The one-sided nature of this PWN as seen in TeV was already suggested by~\citet{XMM},
for the X-rays, based on the hydrodynamical simulations of~\citet{Blondin} for Vela X
and earlier studies referenced by Gaensler et al.: it was assumed that
the density of the medium surrounding the progenitor
star was inhomogeneous along the north-south direction, with the
density towards the northern direction significantly larger than
to the south. The reverse shock from the northern direction should then
have crashed relatively early into the PWN, pushing the latter towards the south,
as observed. The apparent diameter $\sim 0.5\degr$ of the TeV source
indicates a relatively large PWN size, $R_{\mathrm{PWN}} = 17 d_4$ pc.
The unseen SNR shell in this scenario would have to be substantially
larger: in the simulations of \citet{Blondin}, as well as in a
sample of observed composite SNRs \citep{Swaluw_Wu}, the ratio
$R_{\mathrm{PWN}}/R_{\mathrm{SNR}}$ does not exceed $\sim 0.25$.
The large implied $R_{\mathrm{SNR}}$ would suggest that the
blast wave is expanding into a low-density medium to the south.
For instance, a remnant in the Sedov-Taylor phase expanding into the hot phase of the
interstellar medium, with density $\sim 0.003$ cm$^{-3}$,
would have $R_{\mathrm{SNR}} = 58$ pc at $T = 21.5$ kyears
(assuming an explosion energy of $10^{51}$ erg).
This is somewhat smaller than the value implied by the size
of the TeV source, but uncertainties in the distance estimate should
be kept in mind, as well as the fact that with a braking index
different from 3 (as discussed below), the true pulsar age might
be greater than the nominal spin-down time.
Within the scenario outlined above, a high initial spin-down luminosity,
or the fact that the SNR reverse shock on the southern side might
not yet have reached the PWN, could also yield a larger value for
$R_{\mathrm{PWN}}/R_{\mathrm{SNR}}$ \citep[][and references therein]{Bucciantini}.
Finally, the accelerated electrons might diffuse beyond the
boundary of the PWN, where they would still radiate by the
inverse Compton mechanism but emit little synchrotron radiation
\citep{AhaAtoKif97}, making the TeV source extension larger than
otherwise be expected.

The synchrotron lifetime of VHE electrons in a field of strength
$B=10^{-5}B_{-5}$\,G, scattering cosmic microwave background (CMBR)
photons to energies $E_{\gamma}=10^{12}E_{\rm TeV}$\,eV (in the
Thomson limit) can be shown to be $\tau(E_\gamma)=4.8B_{-5}^{-2}E_{\rm
TeV}^{-1/2}$ kyears, whereas the corresponding lifetime of keV
emitting electrons is shorter:
$\tau(E_{\mathrm{X}})=1.2B_{-5}^{-3/2}E_{\rm keV}^{-1/2}$ kyears,
where $E_{\rm keV}$ is the synchrotron photon energy in units of keV.
Gaensler et al.\ have argued that the field strength in the extended
X-ray nebula is $\sim$ 10 $\mu$G, so that we assume $B_{-5}=1$ for the
X-ray and TeV emitting zones.  The adiabatic loss and escape time
scales from the compact nebula are a few years; this is much shorter
than the corresponding synchrotron lifetime of X-ray emitting
electrons, given typical values of Vela-like compact nebular field
strengths.  Synchrotron losses in the compact nebula therefore do not
modify the electron spectral index of $\sim 2.2$ in this region, which
is responsible for the observed compact nebular photon index of
$\Gamma_{\mathrm{CN}}\sim 1.6$ in the 0.5 to 10 keV range.  The
shocked pulsar wind particles in the offset nebula will then propagate
southwards until the propagation time is equal to the synchrotron loss
time, which will result in a steepening in the X-ray photon index to
the observed value of $\Gamma_{\mathrm{EN}}\sim 2.3$. If $V_{\gamma}$
and $V_{\rm X}$ are the average wind convection speeds corresponding
to the respective $\gamma$-ray and X-ray emitting zones, the ratio
between the predicted TeV and X-ray sizes should then be
$R_{\gamma}/R_{\rm X}=4(V_{\gamma}/V_{\rm X})B_{-5}^{-1/2}
(\overline{E}_{\rm keV}/\overline{E}_{\rm TeV})^{1/2}$, which can
easily predict a TeV nebula which is $\sim 6$ times larger than the
X-ray nebula, given the respective experimental mean X-ray and
$\gamma$-ray photon energies of $\overline{E}_{\rm keV}\sim 2$ (after
absorption) and $\overline{E}_{\rm TeV}\sim 0.9$.  This ratio (of six)
also assumes that the expansion velocity of the PWN does not change
significantly between the extended X-ray and TeV nebulae
(i.e. $V_{\gamma}\sim V_{\rm X}$). It should however be noted that
this is a naive assumption and that a detailed study of the evolution
of the velocity and associated magnetic field distributions should be
made.

Pulsars spin down with a braking law given by
$\dot{\Omega}=-K\Omega^n$, where $\Omega$ is the spin angular
frequency and $K$ is a constant, depending on the surface magnetic
field strength and neutron star equation of state. Assuming typical
pulsar braking indices $n\sim 2.5$ to 3, we can integrate over the
spindown power $\dot{E}$ (assuming a conversion efficiency of $\sim 50\%$
to electrons) to an epoch
$\tau(E_\gamma)$ into the past when $\dot{E}$ was larger, to give the
total electron spectrum contributing to the H.E.S.S. spectral band
(from 0.23 TeV to $ > 10$ TeV). Since we integrate over the past
$\tau_{\mathrm{max}} \sim 9 B_{-5}^{-2}$ kyears (corresponding to a
minimum energy of 0.23 TeV), which represents $\sim 50\%$ of the
pulsar lifetime, uncertainties in $n$ should still be relatively
unimportant.  The total observed TeV spectrum is then the result of a
summation of successive inverse Compton spectra arising from past
injected electron spectra, with the spectral break energy shifting
down with time $T$ into the past as $T^{-2}$.  The result is a cooled
TeV spectrum, for which the TeV $\gamma$-ray photon index
$\Gamma_{\mathrm{TeV}}$ should be larger than
$\Gamma_{\mathrm{CN}}+0.5\sim 2.1$ due to second-order Klein-Nishina
effects on the production spectrum of IC radiation on the CMBR.  A
detailed discussion of this is beyond the scope of this paper, but the
important point is that the observed TeV photon index in the range 2.2
to 2.6 is consistent with this interpretation. Furthermore, because
the TeV emission is the result of earlier epochs of pulsar injection,
the ratio of $\gamma$-ray luminosity to present spin-down power
would over-estimate the true conversion efficiency. Compare the X-ray and
$\gamma$-ray energy fluxes in Fig.~\ref{fig:spectrum}: the TeV energy
flux is larger than the X-ray energy fluxes, with the latter resulting
from more freshly injected electrons.

EGRET did not detect pulsed emission above 100 MeV from this
pulsar~\citep{Nel} and phase-resolved spectroscopy is required to set
upper limits on the pulsed component associated with PSR\,B1823--13,
to see if this component is significantly lower than the EGRET steady
excess shown in Fig.~\ref{fig:spectrum}. If 3EG\,J1826--1302 is also
associated with G\,18.0--0.7, the GeV emitting electrons would
represent the earliest epochs of pulsar injection. This emission
should also be one-sided within the framework discussed above and
future GLAST observations may be able to provide better constraints on
the GeV morphology.

Hattip to Father Z. In too many Catholic churches the tabernacle has been shunted off to the side since Vatican II. Bishop Daniel Jenky of the Peoria Diocese, my diocese, has decided to do something about this. Here is the text of a directive he issued on Holy Thursday:
April 1, 2010 +Holy Thursday
Dear Priests, Deacons, Religious and Faithful of the Diocese of Peoria,
The Mass, of course, is our most important act of worship — the very source and summit of all we do as a Church. A profound reverence for the Reserved Sacrament is also intrinsically related to the Eucharistic liturgy.
The Reserved Sacrament must therefore be treated with the greatest possible respect, because at all times the Blessed Sacrament within that tabernacle, as in the Eucharistic Liturgy, is to be given that worship called latria, which is the adoration given to Almighty God. This intentional honor is incomparably greater than the reverence we give to sacramentals, sacred images, the Baptistry, the Holy Oils, or the Paschal Candle. The Sacrament is reserved not only so that the Eucharist can be brought to the dying and to those unable to attend Mass, but also as the heart and locus of a parish's prayer and devotion.
There is a kind of bundle of rituals in our Catholic tradition with which we surround the Tabernacle. As we enter or leave the church, we bless ourselves with holy water, we genuflect towards the Tabernacle, we prepare for Mass or give thanks after Mass, consciously in the presence of the Most Blessed Sacrament. At prayers and devotions, during the Liturgy of the Hours, in any private prayer which takes place in a Catholic Church, we truly pray before the Risen Christ substantially and really present in the Sacrament reserved in the Tabernacle.
These core Catholic convictions and their architectural ramifications have recently been reaffirmed by many Bishops in the United States. As bishop of this Diocese, I am also convinced that where we place the Tabernacle — and how we ritually reverence the Reserved Sacrament — is as important for the continuing Eucharistic catechesis as is all our preaching and teaching. With Jesus truly present in the Blessed Sacrament at the physical center of our places of worship, how can He not also more firmly become the center of our spiritual lives as well?
After consultation with my Presbyteral Council, I am therefore asking that those few parish churches and chapels where the tabernacle is not in the direct center at the back of the sanctuary, that these spaces be redesigned in such a way that the Reserved Sacrament would be placed at the center. In some cases, this change can be easily achieved, but given financial and design restraints, plans for redesign may be submitted to the Office of Divine Worship at any time during the next five years. Monastic communities whose chapels are open to the faithful as semi-public oratories may also request a dispensation from this general regulation according to the norms of their particular liturgical tradition. There may also be some very tiny chapels where a change could be impossible. These requests should be submitted in writing to my office.
I would also like to remind everyone in our Diocese that at Mass, in accord with the General Instruction of the Roman Missal, the Tabernacle should only be reverenced at the beginning and end of the liturgy or when the Sacrament is being taken from or returned to the Tabernacle. At all other moments and movements in the liturgy it is the Altar of Sacrifice that is to be reverenced.
It is my conviction that Eucharistic Liturgy and Eucharistic devotion are never in competition but rather inform and strengthen our shared worship and reverence. May all in our Diocese grow in greater love and appreciation of the gift of the Eucharist.
Sincerely yours in Christ,
Most Reverend Daniel R. Jenky, C.S.C.
BISHOP OF PEORIA
Go here to read the comments of Father Z. I think this is great news. Christ is of course why we go to Mass, and shunting His tabernacle off to the side has always struck me as one of the more bizarre post Vatican II developments. Perhaps some day we will once again have proper "altars of sacrifice" instead of the free standing communion-tables-in-all-but-name-only. As an old feisty priest I knew said to my wife and me in 1982 as he was giving us pre-marriage instruction and we were touring his Church which had a traditional altar, "May God forgive the priests who have destroyed so many beautiful altars." In regard to the changes that have taken place in our sanctuaries, as Eamon Duffy, probably the best historian of the Church currently writing in English, noted here, none of this nonsense was mandated by Vatican II. Time to return to the Mass Ad Orientem.

Amen.It would be a major move if the USCCB would issued a directive and place the Eurcharist and Tabernacle back where it belongs in the center of our worship for all Dioceses.
The modern genesis of the separate chapel is the document Eucharisticum Mysterium. Sections 52-54 are helpful, as they give flexible guidance on the reservation of the
Eucharist: http://catholicsensibility.wordpress.com/2007/07/04/eucharisticum-mysterium-52-54-reserving-the-eucharist/.

Forgive my ignorance, but what does:
mean?
We kneel when we enter and leave the church so long as the Tabernacle contains the Eucharist. I think this is the practice referenced above. Is the rest of the statement saying that we are kneeling or lowering our head and such during Mass with reverence to the Altar itself? I hadn't heard that before and would like to know 1) if I am understanding it rightly and 2) why the altar itself is worthy of reverence.

On May 8, 2013, the Department of Labor issued temporary guidance and model notices that employers may use to notify employees the exchanges. The Affordable Care Act requires employers, that are subject to the Fair Labor Standards Act, to provide a written notice to new hires and current employees informing them about the exchanges and some of the consequences of purchasing coverage through an exchange instead of enrolling in available employer-sponsored coverage. The notice requirement was originally to go into effect for employers beginning on March 1, 2013, but was delayed. The temporary guidance confirms that notices must be automatically provided to current employees by October 1, 2013, and to new employees hired after October 1, 2013, within 14 days of their start date. All employees must receive a notice regardless of their full- or part-time status and regardless of whether they are enrolled in the employer's plan. Separate notices for dependents or other individuals who are or may become eligible for coverage are not required. The DOL has provided two model notices to assist employers in providing the required information.
The Internal Revenue Service recently provided the new out of pocket maximum expense limits that will apply to HSA compatible high deductible health plans in 2014. These limits are extremely important in 2014 as they will apply to all group health plans. The new limits are as follows: $6,350 for self-only coverage and $12,700 for all other coverage.
