Chatham Borough Council's Republican core is being tested by Independent Donna Cali-Charles who is seeking election on Tuesday, Nov. 6. She is challenging incumbent Republicans Cordelia Fuller and Christine Grobert for the two seats up for grabs. Fuller, the current Council President, is see king her third three-year term while Grobert, who is filling the unexpired term of her late mother Susan Keenan, is seeking her first full term. Much of Cali-Charles' support has come from residents of the north side neighborhood which will be heavily impacted by increased traffic along North Passaic Avenue from the 505 apartment units on Passaic Avenue in Florham Park. Many of her comments and observations at Borough Council meetings have hinge d on those and related problems. Fuller and Grobert, as do the rest of the council members, realize that, while those problems are among the most important facing borough residents, there is the overall picture to consider.
Fuller and Grobert have been steady performers. They are concerned about doing the best possible job for the entire town, including, but not limited to, the north side.
Re-elect Fuller and Grobert to Borough Council.

Days after it fined Seattle Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch $100,000 for answering almost all questions of reporters with a simple "Yeah," the NFL has a new problem on its hand. And it's a funny one.
Determined not to suffer the same fate as their teammate, Seahawks' corner Richard Sherman appeared in front of the media on Tuesday with Doug Baldwin by his side – albeit hiding behind his own cardboard cutout.
Relevant: It Took Seven Months And A TMZ Video For NFL To Realize The Seriousness Of Domestic Violence
Unlike Lynch, the two were unusually chatty – so much that they ended up talking and criticizing the NFL's rather bizarre expectations of its players. Some of the issues the duo humorously attacked were the league's media availability rules, its hypocritical policy on product endorsement as well as its general disregard for player safety.
Why does it feel that both Sherman and Baldwin's bank accounts will soon be a few hundred thousand grand short?

Will impatience be a virtue for Giants?
The San Francisco Giants have no blaring headlines trumpeting
their moves this winter.
There are no tabloids or sports talk shows breathlessly
predicting they will be in the World Series, let alone make the playoffs.
Even when the Giants re-signed home run champ Barry Bonds,
folks in the Bay Area yawned.
The Giants have not grabbed the spotlight or captivated
the fans' imagination, but they have put themselves in position to win the National
League West.
The road to the division title still goes through Arizona,
where the Diamondbacks won last year's World Series, but the Giants have their
foot on the accelerator.
Giants general manager Brian Sabean has pulled off an array
of moves that completely slipped under the public radar. The Giants not only
are poised to win the NL West, but they also are primed to go deep into the
postseason, believing this could be their finest team since 1993.
"I feel as good going into this year," says Sabean, who
joined the Giants before the 1997 season. "I feel confident this team is going
to be playing good baseball from Day One.
"We've come a long way and have improved on a lot of things.
And the players, I think, have to recognize that. I don't think they stayed
here just because they're comfortable. They stayed here because we have a chance
to win.
"Now is the time."
During the last five years the Giants have been one of
the game's most consistent teams. They've had the best record in the National
League during that span, going 452-359, second only to the Braves. They've been
in so many pennant races that they've played just 11 meaningless games since
But while the Giants are perennial contenders, twice winning
the NL West and losing in a one-game playoff for a wild-card berth in another
year, they haven't come close to reaching the World Series since 1989. They've
won just one playoff game.
Perhaps this is why Sabean uttered the words heard 'round
the Bay in a conference call a few weeks ago when he told the local reporters:
"It's time to get off our asses!"
"Some of that, quite frankly," Sabean says, "was sending
a message to the players. Why not now? They have to take a page out of what
Arizona did last year. We're running out of time.
"Look, a lot of people are stepping up, whether it's players
taking (less) money, owners spending more money or (Giants manager) Dusty (Baker)
and I being in the last years of our contracts.
"I don't think anyone is satisfied about what we've done
here. Our motivation is clear and obvious: win the division. If we do that,
it means you beat out the world champs. You do that, and with the way our division
has been, you've got a shot to go deep into the playoffs."
Certainly, the Giants set themselves up for a big year.
San Francisco is strong from top to bottom, with a deep bullpen, a steady starting
rotation and the finest supporting staff around Bonds since he joined the team
in '93.
The only reason no one noticed the drastic improvement
is that all of Sabean's moves have been blue-collar. They didn't overpay anyone.
They didn't get into bidding wars. And maybe, with the exception of Bonds, they
weren't the most glamorous of names. Yet, they also got the man they wanted.
While the New York Yankees were spending $120 million on
first baseman Jason Giambi, the Giants re-signed Bonds, guaranteeing only $72
million over four years.
While the Mariners traded for third baseman Jeff Cirillo,
and the Braves acquired free-agent third baseman Vinny Castilla, the Giants
got solid third baseman David Bell from the Mariners.
While the Rangers opened up the bank vault by signing free-agent
starter Chan Ho Park to a five-year, $65 million contract, and revamped their
bullpen, the Giants spent just $4.6 million this season by re-signing top starter
Jason Schmidt and left-handed reliever Jason Christiansen.
While the New York Mets celebrated the acquisition of power
hitter Mo Vaughn, and are responsible for the bulk of his $42 million contract
over the next three years, the Giants stole slugger Reggie Sanders, guaranteeing
him just $2.25 million.
Voil�! Just like that, San Francisco has a team
that could scare the daylights out of the National League.
"I'm pretty excited," says Baker, the winner of three Manager
of the Year awards. "We've been close every year for the last five years. And
if you stay close, sooner or later, you're going to have a heck of a chance
of winning.
"I don't see why we can't win it right now."
Take a peek for yourselves at what might be the most underrated
team in baseball. The heart of the order will consist of Rich Aurilia, Bonds,
Jeff Kent and Sanders. This quartet, which will occupy the Nos. 2-5 spots in
the order, combined for 165 home runs last season, 33 by Sanders with the Diamondbacks.
The top four starters in the rotation Russ Ortiz,
Schmidt, Livan Hernandez and Kirk Rueter combined for 57 victories and
759 innings last season. The bullpen tandem of closer Robb Nen and setup man
Felix Rodriguez is one of the best in the business. Nen saved 45 games last
season, and Rodriguez led the league with 32 holds and a 1.68 ERA in relief.
The Giants also believe that you're going to see much-improved
years by Gold Glove first baseman J.T. Snow and former MVP second baseman Kent.
Snow was plagued by injuries all year and hit just .246 with eight homers and
34 RBI. Although many players would have swapped stats with Kent in a heartbeat,
his .298 batting average with 22 homers and 106 RBI still was a drop-off from
his 2000 MVP season .334, 33 homers, 125 RBI.
"I'm positive J.T. Snow will have a good year," Baker says.
"In this game, people lose sight of the fact that it's tough to be consistent.
In modern baseball, unless your name is Aaron, Mays or Mantle, you have a lot
of up-and-down years. It's the same for Kent. It's not easy being an MVP and
then having people shooting for you.
"These guys will bounce back."
Barring any catastrophic injuries, the Giants should win
the NL West. They finished just two games behind the Diamondbacks last season,
going 90-72. Just taking Sanders away from the Diamondbacks and putting him
in the Giants' lineup should alone make up that difference.
The Giants also might be more aggressive with their wallet
this year at the trading deadline. The Giants' ownership, which has kept its
payroll in the middle of the pack despite drawing 6.6 million fans the last
two seasons, might need to convince Sabean and Baker that it's prepared to win
at all costs. If not, the two could be riding off into the sunset, with teams
willing to double their salaries just to lure them away.
This is why there is indeed a sense of urgency for the
Giants to step forward this year and make a statement that they're one of the
elite franchises in baseball.
If they don't take that step now, it might be too late
ONE OF A KIND? Al LaMacchia, a talent evaluator
for the Devil Rays, is bewildered by one of the game's great paradoxes.
Mets All-Star second baseman Roberto Alomar is a shoo-in
for the Hall of Fame, but he's about to play for his fifth team after being
traded once again this winter.
"I don't know how a guy this great can be traded this many
times, and he's a great kid, too," says LaMacchia, who helped engineer Alomar's
trade to Toronto in 1989 when he was GM Pat Gillick's assistant. "People are
going to look back and wonder what happened.
"Robby Alomar, in my opinion, is the best second baseman
to ever play the game," says LaMacchia, who has been in professional baseball
for 61 years. "I saw (Hall of Famer) Charlie Gehringer in the '30s and '40s,
and I used to think he was the best. Then this kid came along.
"There have been some good ones along the way like Joe
Morgan, Bill Mazeroski and Red Schoendienst. They were truly great ones.
"But none of them can play with Roberto Alomar.
"You just watch and see what he does for that team this

AHA Cert Gives Consumers Another Reason to Love Beef
Three heart-healthy beef cuts make the grade
The American Heart Association (AHA) has given the nod to three beef cuts that meet its criteria for extra lean as part of its food certification program, which helps healthy consumers identify foods that meet criteria for saturated fat and cholesterol when labeled with the association's heart-check mark.
The three beef cuts that are now certified to display the heart-check mark, include:
- Boneless Top Sirloin Petite Roast (select grade)
- Top Sirloin Filet (select grade)
- Top Sirloin Kabob (select grade)
"We are extremely thrilled to receive the American Heart Association certification because for consumers, it represents the independent voice of a trusted health organization," says Margie Hande, a cow/calf operator from Amidon, N.D., and chair of the the Beef Checkoff Program's retail committee. As an additional nutrition success point that signifies that a serving of extra lean beef can be part of an overall sensible eating plan, Hande added that the nutrients in lean beef, such as protein, iron and zinc, help people feel satisfied longer and get more nutrition from their calories without sacrificing taste.
As one of the most trusted icons on food packaging today, the AHA's heart-check mark strongly resonates with health-conscious shoppers, even in a challenging economy. In fact, more than 83 percent of consumers have an aided awareness of the heart-check mark and nearly 75 percent of primary grocery shoppers say the heart-check mark improves the likelihood that they'll buy a product.
With the new AHA certification, retailers will now be able to display the heart-check mark on fresh case beef packages to promote the health benefits of a serving of these particular beef cuts to their customers. The mark has been shown to influence sales by as much as 5 percent, according to the Beef Checkoff , whoseTrade Association Certification program simplifies a retailer's processing and related costs to participate in the AHA's heart-check mark program, such as certain fees waived as well as significant discounts to participate.
In addition to the three newly certified AHA products, there are also many other popular beef cuts that meet government guidelines for lean for a single serving, including favorites such as Sirloin, Flank steak, Tenderloin, T-Bone steak and 95 percent lean Ground Beef. With more than 29 lean beef cuts, it's easy to build great-tasting and healthy meals that include beef with vegetables, fruits and whole grains.
"Lean beef helps Americans build a healthy diet and manage their waistline because one 3 ounce serving provides ten essential nutrients for about 154 calories, helping you meet the new Dietary Guidelines," says Cheryl Hendricks, a registered dietitian with the National Cattlemen's Beef Association (NCBA), which contracts to manage retail marketing efforts for The Beef Checkoff. "With today's focus on obesity, lean beef is a solution that satisfies our appetites and provides more nutrients for fewer calories than many other foods."
For retailers, the checkoff-funded integrated promotions feature merchandising elements where it matters most -- the point of purchase. As part of the integrated promotions, there is a comprehensive campaign including on-pack labels, recipes and more to help drive awareness, traffic to lean beef cuts in the meat case and ultimately product sales.
"Knowing that 99 percent of primary grocery shoppers think lowering saturated fat is important to managing overall health and wellness, we are pleased to be able to provide the three American Heart Association-certified beef cuts as another option in creating an overall sensible eating plan," says Hendricks. Looking ahead, she adds, "We're not stopping at just three cuts. We are in the process of obtaining certification for some of our other extra lean beef choices as well."

Author's Note: This has been sitting on my computer for about a year now. It's something I originally started writing for my sister because we both LOVE angst and HATE the Epilogue! (However, since this story clearly accepts the Epilogue into its canon, you should be able to enjoy it regardless of what side of that debate you happen to support.) But now I've cleaned it up a bit and decided to share!
Updates will be sporadic, but I do intend to finish! Feedback of any kind is a huge encouragement.
All Was Well
Chapter One: Assuming All Was Well
Ginny refilled the glass from the sink for the third time in a row. Her hand shaking only slightly, she lifted it to her lips and drank the entire thing in a quick succession of gulping swallows. She took a few deep breaths. When she looked around the world seemed a little… unstable. Like it wasn't spinning yet, but it was just waiting for her say-so to start.
"Ginny? Gin, you home?" someone called from the living room. The voice broke through the silence of the empty house—the kids were all outside playing—like a crack of thunder. Ginny barely reacted. She set her glass down on the counter and ran her fingers through her hair, hoping she appeared more put-together than she felt.
When she got into the living room her attention turned to the fireplace, where she was unsurprised to see Hermione's concerned expression floating amidst the flames.
"I'm here," Ginny said, needlessly. She didn't have it in her to give Hermione a more polite greeting.
Her friend's frown deepened slightly. "I don't suppose there's been any news?" she asked. She was speaking very quietly. She'd been doing that for two days, like a loud noise might be the thing that pushed Ginny over the deep end. Possibly true, but it was getting seriously annoying.
"You know there hasn't been," Ginny replied. She meant to sound angry, but it just came out tired. "I'll contact you the second I know anything."
"I know, I know," said Hermione, "It's just…" she bit her lip, cut off that train of thought, whatever it had just been, and asked, "How are you holding up?"
Ginny silently stared back at her, forcibly dragging the moment into awkwardness. How was she holding up? Could what she'd been going through for the past two days even be described as holding up?
"I think I'm going to tell the kids," she said finally. Hermione looked relieved to get a response, but then her worry returned to her face, doubled.
"Do you think that's a good idea?" she asked. "I mean, we still don't know anything. And they're so young, there's no need to—"
"Hermione, James is fifteen," Ginny said, crossing her arms. "I should have told him everything from the start. And Harry," her voice caught slightly on his name, but she kept going as if it hadn't happened, "Harry faced Voldemort twice by the time he was Lily's age. They're his children, and they'll be fine."
"Are you trying to convince me or yourself?" Hermione asked mildly.
Ginny narrowed her eyes. "I'll let you know if I hear anything," she said with finality, all but dismissing Hermione. The other woman sighed and regarded her sadly.
"All right, talk to you soon." Her face disappeared, and Ginny's posture immediately sagged with relief. She'd found that being around other people, including and especially her own children, was difficult. When she was by herself she didn't have to pretend that she was fine, that she was holding up, and that everything was going to be okay. All of that took more energy than she felt like she could muster.
"Dad's dead, isn't he?" came a quiet voice from the stairs. Ginny spun around to face her son—Albus. It was a beautiful day, and she'd shooed the children out with their brooms earlier. Of course Al would have lost interest and come back in to read instead. He'd probably been up in his room, and heard her and Hermione talking. He was still holding his book—one of the Muggle adventures he was so fond of.
He regarded her soberly, his expression far too serious for his thirteen-year-old face.
"Oh," Ginny said, "Sweetie, Dad's not dead."
"Then what was all that with Aunt Hermione?" he asked. "He hasn't been home in days. And something's wrong, we all know it. What have you been keeping from us?"
Ginny put her face in her hands and took a deep breath. When she peered through her fingers she saw that Albus was still there, watching her expectantly. Finally she said, "Fine. Go get your brother and sister and I'll tell you."
Albus swallowed hard and nodded. Ginny noticed that despite acting so stoically, the boy was very near tears.
"Hey," she caught hold of him before he reached the door and pulled him into a hug. He was getting quite tall—almost as tall as her. He'd probably be like his brother, who was already taller. "Don't worry, Al," she said. She meant to say something like, "Dad's okay," or "everything will be fine," but the words seemed to get stuck in her throat. So instead she said, "You'll know everything in a minute."
Al nodded and dashed out the door. Ginny seriously hoped he wasn't crying, because then surely she would lose it herself. But of her three children, Al would take this the hardest. James could so easily mask anything with humor, and Lily was always a tough kid, tougher than either of her brothers, maybe, even though she was younger.
Even so, none of them had ever faced something like this before. Their childhood, under the careful watch of their parents and extended family, had been full of love and safety with only the occasional minor misadventure that went with any wizard's upbringing. This was different. This was the kind of thing more fitting to Ginny's own childhood, full of fear and misgiving. Uncertainty. She couldn't be sure how they would react. It was why she'd decided to hide it from them in the first place.
But she couldn't anymore, not with what she was planning. Both of their parents couldn't disappear without explanation. So she collapsed onto the couch, and waited.
Two days earlier…
"I think it was… Wiggy the Warlock, in the apothecary, with… Avada Kedavra!"
Lily said the last part very suddenly, looking directly at Albus. He flinched, and glared when Lily and James burst out laughing. "Oh shut up, I was startled not scared. I don't know why this game is so violent, isn't it supposed to be for kids?"
"What do you mean?" asked Ginny, "I still like this game, don't I?" She glanced down at the Wizard Clue board, visually confirming Lily's guess. The tiny plastic figure of Wiggy the Warlock paced around the cardboard apothecary. Every once in a while he would glance up and shake his fist at Lily. Wiggy in particular could get quite a temper when he was accused.
"Do you have anything or not?" Lily asked her mother impatiently.
Ginny laughed and pulled a card out from the small pile in her hands. She showed its face to Lily, being careful to make sure James, who was trying to look like he wasn't trying to peek, didn't see it. Lily frowned when she saw Wiggy the Warlock looking back at her, holding one chubby hand over his mouth so he wouldn't accidentally make a sound and give himself away to the others. "Fine," she said, frowning down at her suspect sheet.
"Right, if Ace Detective Lily is done wasting our time…" James said, picking up the dice. He wore a familiar grin that meant he was close to winning, if he didn't have the answer already. Ginny smiled fondly at him. James could get so competitive over the simplest things.
It was a lovely summer evening. They'd had a bout of good weather lately. If they'd been outside they could have seen all the stars. Instead they were spread out on the floor of the living room, having pushed aside the couch and various bits of mismatched furniture to make room for the game board, and all of the windows were open, letting in a pleasant night breeze. Ginny was just thinking that the night would only be better if Harry would come home early somehow, and perhaps that made her listen carefully for someone outside, and that's why she heard it—the sound of someone Apparating, although they would have to be all the way at the end of the front walk because of the wards on the house. She stood up.
"What's up, Mum?" asked Albus.
"I think I hear Dad," she said, "Keep playing." She crossed to the small foyer that opened off of the living room and was about to open the front door when the bell rang. Her hand hesitated on the knob and she felt a small stab of disappointment. So it wasn't Harry then.
When she opened the door she'd altered her expectations and thought that maybe she might see Hermione or her brother, who lived the closest of their various friends and relatives. So she was extremely surprised to see a short man with pale brown skin and curly hair wearing dark green robes. She recognized him as Henry Vellums, Harry's second in command in the Auror Department, and selected for the position with good reason. He was an extremely talented wizard, although he always seemed a bit bewildered by his own abilities. His mother had been an African shawoman, his father an accountant from Brighton. They'd both been killed by dark wizards when he was in his teens. Ginny had only met him on a few occasions, but Harry talked about him enough that she felt she knew him a great deal.
"Mrs. Potter…" Vellums greeted her formally. "May I come inside?"
Ginny noted the expression on his face. There was a tightness to his mouth and around his eyes that caused a sudden dread to creep into Ginny like a cold hand gripped around her heart. She glanced back into the living room where her children were all laughing about something—so much that James and Albus had fallen over and Lily appeared to be crying, banging one hand on the floor and disrupting the game pieces. Ginny turned back to Vellums and said, "No, it's a nice night, I'll just step outside."
She shut the door quietly behind her and then turned to face him, her eyes searching his. "What is it?" she asked, not bothering to mask her fear. "Did something happen to Harry?"
She noticed vaguely that he held a pointed wizard's cap in his hands—probably he had taken it off to be polite. Now he turned it around and around by the brim with his long fingers, nervously. "He's…" he said, suddenly unable to meet her eyes…
Ginny stood very still. She could hear the blood rushing through her ears and willed herself to calm down, her heart to slow, because if she couldn't hear the next part, if she didn't hear the word said out loud, she would never believe it. And she had to know the truth.
"He's… missing," Vellums said finally. He did not look very happy to be saying this, but to Ginny it was as if she'd been drowning and thrown a line at the last possible second.
"Missing?" she repeated. She realized that there was a wild grin on her face and tried to school her expression. "Oh my God, do you have any idea what I thought you were going to say?"
Vellums regarded her relief sadly. "I'm sorry, I know missing is better than, you know, but the thing is, Harry… he might be…" His voice broke off. Ginny, still high from relief, felt compelled to comfort him.
"But he's been missing before," she said, almost dismissively. "For days, even, like that time he got trapped in the Gorgons' lair? And it can't have been more than a few hours, this time, right? A routine raid can't last that long."
His eyebrows shot up, causing several worry lines to form on his forehead. They looked comfortable there, and despite the fact that Vellums was fairly young, it wouldn't be long before they were permanent. "Harry told you about the mission?"
Ginny realized her mistake and cast around for an excuse. "Uh, no, I just assumed…" she sighed and gave up. "Yeah, okay, sorry, I know that stuff is supposed to be Top Secret or whatever, but I can't stand not knowing what danger he's putting himself in. You understand, don't you?"
"Of course I do," sighed Vellums, "My wife's just the same. And I'm not about to rat out the head of the department, am I?," a faint smile appeared on his lips. "He's the person you're supposed to rat people out to. And besides, despite the rumors, I'm not gunning for department head. I was mad enough when Harry put me under him, I wouldn't touch his job with a ten foot pole." Ginny raised her eyebrows. People thought Vellums was after Harry's job? That was a new one to her. But she supposed power-plays came with any Ministry job description. "And now he's gone, and I'm stuck with it." Vellums looked down at his hat, seeming honestly disturbed with the prospect.
"Is that all?" Ginny asked politely.
"What?" Vellums asked, obviously distracted. Then he shook his head sharply. "No, not at all. Ginny, Mrs. Potter—"
"Ginny's fine."
"Ginny," he said, regarding her seriously. "Look, I've had to tell this to people before, but I'm having a hard time because it's you. Because it's Harry."
"Tell what?" Ginny asked, frowning. "You said he's missing. He's been missing before, he—"
"This time is different," Vellums said darkly. "They were just on a routine raid, the hideout of a dark objects ring, Harry and a team of three other Aurors. Two were dead when we got there. One called for back-up, then got knocked out. Knocked out before he saw what happened to Harry. But Harry wasn't there when we got there. He wasn't anywhere."
Ginny sat down hard on the front step. "Two people… died?" Suddenly frantic, she said, "But they were left behind, right? They wouldn't have taken Harry unless he was alive." Her optimism fizzled out as she heard her own words. So Harry had been taken somewhere, by some unknown villain who most certainly wanted to hurt him. Maybe kill him.
"That's not all…" Vellums added. He was turning his hat quite quickly now, and looked as if he wished he could be anywhere else except where he was. "There was quite a bit of blood at the scene, Ginny."
Ginny was quiet for a moment and then asked, as if she couldn't help herself, "Harry's?"
Vellums nodded stiffly.
"I can't take this!" Ginny growled, startling Vellums with her sudden ferocity. She stood up and pushed him back angrily. "He's dead, he's not dead! What do you think, Henry?"
Vellums hesitated, thinking his answer through, before saying, "I'm going to be honest with you because from what Harry's told me you're not the sort to appreciate sugar-coating." Ginny felt a sob growing in her throat at the mention of Harry calmly chatting about her at work and quelled it. Her eyes were dry and she looked at Vellums steadily.
"Tell me," she said.
"What I think is this: I think that the dark objects ring—which is illegal, and dangerous, of course, but not the worst thing we come up against by a long shot—was a front for something much worse. I think someone had it in for Harry, something personal against him, and they planned all of this to get revenge. And I think they'll probably keep him alive for a while, but only so they can do any number of horrible things to him."
"You think a lot of things, don't you?" Ginny asked sourly.
Vellums shrugged. "I didn't get this far by underestimating what I'm up against. I've seen a lot of these people, Ginny, people who fall into dark magic. It has a certain effect. I know how their minds work—"
"I know too," Ginny cut him off sharply. "More than you can imagine."
Vellums opened his mouth to say something, but closed it sharply. Perhaps it was Ginny's stony expression that quieted him, or perhaps, just faintly, it was the ghost of Tom Riddle, looking out through her eyes for the briefest of moments.
They stood and quietly regarded each other. Ginny felt the surliness that had built up within her melt away, and suddenly she only felt tired, and scared. The breeze picked up and she shivered, crossing her arms.
"Thank you," she said, "For telling me the truth."
Vellums nodded. "I'm sorry to do it," he said. "Is there anything I can do for you, or your family?"
That sounded like a routine question to Ginny, and she wasn't sure what comfort the man could provide now that he'd told her what he knew. She shook her head. "Thank you," she said, "But we'll be fine."
He nodded and backed up a few steps, toward the end of the walk where he could Apparate away. "I have to get back, then. The search is on, of course. There should be two Aurors here within half an hour. I think under the circumstances it's best to keep a watch on the house. I'll contact you the minute I know anything."
Ginny couldn't bring herself to thank him again, so there was an awkward pause before the man turned and walked away. Ginny watched him until he reached the street, spun on the spot, and vanished with a small pop. She glanced around, but didn't expect to see anyone. Their house was secluded, hidden by woods on two sides, and the only one for a mile in any direction. It had to be that way since the neighborhood was mostly Muggles, and the Potters loved flying a bit too much to live anywhere they might easily be seen.
Still, she got the feeling of being watched, and hoped that the Aurors would arrive soon. Vellums was right, of course. If someone had been after Harry, they might try to come after her too, or their children. She reached a hand out and touched the door frame softly. Over a dozen protective wards were in place—she could feel them, if she tried, humming beneath her palm. They would be safe, wouldn't they? She certainly didn't feel safe. Whoever they were up against had gotten Harry somehow. The thought was almost unimaginable.
As she stepped back inside, she briefly pressed a hand against her ribs. It wasn't quite a physical feeling, but she could tell that something deep inside her was cracked.
The Potter children were very quiet. Lily leaned against her mother on the couch, James sat beside them. Albus was on the floor, his arms curled around his knees. None of them said a word after Ginny had finished telling them all she had learned from Vellums two nights ago, and all she had learned from him since then, which wasn't much. Harry was still missing; they still weren't sure who was behind it. They had no way of knowing where he'd been taken, and the longer it took them to figure it out, the more likely it was that he couldn't be saved even if they did find him.
James was the first to break the silence. "I can't believe it!" he said angrily. "How could somebody get Dad? He's the best, isn't he? He's effing Harry Potter!"
"James," Ginny said warningly, more out of habit than anything else. She sighed and said, "He was probably ambushed. It was a trap. A set-up."
"Why did Dad go if it was a trap?" Lily asked. Ginny stroked her hair gently.
"He didn't know," she said, and her voice broke. She took a breath to a get a grip on herself. She was tired, and she didn't want to pretend to be okay, but that didn't mean she wasn't going to do it. Not when the kids needed her to do it. "You know his job is dangerous. Sometimes these things happen."
"But why?" Lily pressed, obviously frustrated. "Why do they have to happen? Why do people have to be bad?"
"Give it a rest, Lils," James said sulkily.
Ginny shot James a Look and said to Lily, "I don't know, sweetheart. Some people are just bad. Or sometimes bad things happen to people and it makes them bad themselves."
"But—" Lily began, but Albus spoke up for the first time, cutting her off.
"Not you," he said, looking at Ginny. "Not Dad. Lots of bad things happened to you, right? And you've never used dark magic."
A small, wry smile found its way to Ginny's lips. "That's true," she said. The smile faded. "And much good it's done Dad. I wonder if people can be too good sometimes… Too good for their own good, that's the way your dad always was."
"Why are you talking about him in the past tense?" Albus asked. His voice cracked, as it tended to do, especially when he was nervous or upset.
"I'm not," Ginny said firmly. "I'm saying, he's always been that way. Up until now. When he still is."
James rolled his eyes, "Great, okay. Dad's good, other people are bad. We get it. But how are they going to find him?"
"Well, that's the thing…" said Ginny. She briefly wondered if this would be even harder to say than all the rest, but then it came pouring out, easiest of all: "I'm going to find him."
"What?" all three children asked at almost exactly the same time. Ginny looked at each of them in turn. James had quite a surly expression, and she knew that she probably wouldn't get more than sarcasm from him until he calmed down. Lily was frowning as if she was trying to figure out a difficult problem. Albus was the hardest to look at. He simply looked… sad. But all of them were taking it well; they weren't crying, they were surprised at her statement but didn't seem scared. They were tough, her kids, and brave. They would be all right.
She wondered at how a conversation could change from a mother talking to her children, to a person talking to other people.
"I can't just sit here," she told them honestly. "I can't just wait around for someone else to tell me that Harry—that your dad is dead. Not if there's something I can do…" She looked around at her children, who were all regarding her warily now. "You'll be fine," she told them with more certainty than she felt. "There have been guards here every day, you probably haven't seen them—"
"We did, thanks," James said.
Ginny sighed. "I'm sorry I kept you in the dark, all right? I didn't know what to do. Now look, I'm leaving tonight. I want you all to pack bags to go stay with Uncle Ron for a while."
"No!" Lily and Albus disagreed immediately.
"What if he comes back?" Lily asked frantically. "What if Dad comes back and no one's here?"
"What if they come after us there and get Hermione and Ron and Rose and Hugo too?" Albus asked, his face pale.
Ginny felt a pang in her heart. She remembered a time long ago when Harry, looking much younger, more like Albus, told her that she couldn't be his girlfriend because she could get killed. Even after Voldemort's death, it had taken some convincing for Harry to be completely okay with something as vulnerable as a girlfriend, a wife, a family. And they did know the dangers—theirs was probably the most strongly protected wizarding household in England, and all of the Weasleys weren't far behind. But until now those dangers hadn't seemed so real. People held grudges against Harry, but that was a far cry from a genocidal psychopath with a grudge and a prophecy to back it up. Ginny was amazed to realize that somehow, even after everything she had been through, she had managed to form a sense of security.
And look where assuming all was well had brought her.
"You'll be fine," she said to them with much more certainty than she felt. "And Dad will know where to find you if he comes back." She turned to James.
"No complaints from you? That's unusual." She tried to smile.
The look James gave her in return was dead serious. "I want to come with you," he said.
Ginny wasn't surprised. If anything, she was surprised by how very unsurprised she was. But how could she be? James didn't normally look like his father, at least not nearly as much as Albus. But just now he was regarding her with such a determined expression he reminded her more of Harry than Albus ever did.
Her first instinct was to calm down slightly, about everything. After all, when Harry got that expression it usually meant that he was going to take care of things. And everything would turn out all right. She could remember that young face as clear as yesterday, twisted with pain but trying not to show it, telling her to get out of the Chamber, to leave him…
Then she remembered that, of course, this wasn't Harry at all, it was James, and there was no way in hell he was putting himself in danger.
Her wandering thoughts had occurred in all of a second. "No," she said simply.
James's resolved expression crumpled almost immediately, and to Ginny's relief he didn't look like Harry anymore. Probably his proposal should have made her proud, but not in this kind of situation. Not with Harry's own track record of getting mixed up in extremely dangerous things, especially when he was right around James's age.
"Why not?" he complained. "I can help you! I'm old enough."
"You are not old enough," Ginny disagreed. "And it's the holidays. You can't even use magic."
"The Ministry won't care if I'm doing it to save Dad!" James pointed out. "They'll probably thank me."
"I want to go too!" piped up Lily.
Ginny heaved a frustrated sigh. She should have realized this would have sparked some kind of argument with the kids. They were Harry's after all, as she had reminded Hermione earlier. And she'd thought that they should be kept from the truth because it would frighten them!
She should have known. She was just so focused on saving Harry, on figuring out how she was going to go about it… it had been easy to forget that leaving home would probably be one of the most difficult parts of the whole operation.
"Listen, you three," she said, trying to insert a bit of no nonsense in her voice. Albus hadn't made a bid to join her yet, and perhaps wasn't likely too, but she addressed him too just in case. "This is serious. It's nice that you want to help your dad…"
"Nice?" James repeated. "I don't want to do it to be nice."
Ginny asked, "Well then, why do you want to do it?"
And James's answer was immediate, "Because he's in trouble and he might need my help."
This was getting harder and harder by the minute. Ginny wondered if she'd make it out without a full-blown row starting up. She hoped so. If things didn't go well, she didn't want angry words to be the last to pass between her and her kids.
But she would reserve those kinds of thoughts for later.
"Dad is in trouble," she conceded. "But I promise you, there is nothing you can do about it. Where ever he's being… held… it's going to be dangerous. Whoever was able to get him must be really powerful, and you all aren't experienced enough."
"More powerful than Voldemort?" James asked insistently.
Ginny was somewhat shocked by the question. "No, of course not."
"Dad went after Voldemort when he was my age," James continued. "When he thought Sirius was captured, you all left school and went right to go find him, to face Voldemort even though Dad was only fifteen, and you were only Al's age! You told us that, you told us that story. You survived, didn't you? You got out."
Ginny's voice was cold when she replied, "Sirius didn't."
James shut up immediately, his gaze aimed toward the floor. He looked like he still wanted to argue but couldn't think of anything else to say.
Ginny sighed and reached over to touch James's shoulder. "I understand this is frustrating," she said, her voice deliberately calm. "But it's what has to be done. When you three are older you can go about saving whoever you want," just not if I have anything to say about it, she added silently. "Now go upstairs and pack some bags so you can stay with Uncle Ron, all right? Please."
For a moment she didn't think they would do it, and she did her best to keep the frustration screaming in her chest from showing on her face. Ginny had never been the best at hiding her emotions. For most of her life she'd never seen any need to, and she certainly never had a problem with saying exactly what was on her mind. But that had changed quite a bit when the kids came along.
But in truth, presently the feelings she suppressed were pretty far removed from fear or worry. Beneath the calm she imposed on herself for the kids, something raged and twisted inside. Something she couldn't really describe as anything except violence. And she was trying very hard not to think about it. Not until the kids were safe. Not until she got out. Then nothing else would matter.
Slowly, finally, each of her children got up and made their way towards the foyer where the staircase was. Ginny did her best to hold in a sigh of relief. She understood why they were fighting her on this, but when it came right down to it, the longer she was here convincing them not to get involved, the longer she wasn't out there, finding Harry.
As soon as Albus, trailing behind the others slightly, disappeared into the foyer, Ginny allowed herself to sink back into the couch and close her eyes. Soon, she told herself. Soon she would have her answers. There was just one more obstacle to overcome.
Ron and Hermione.
"I can't believe this!" James raged. He was packing, shoving random bits of clothing at various stages of cleanliness into a backpack without looking at them, but he certainly wasn't happy about it. "I can't believe she's just going to leave us like this. I should be allowed to go!"
Albus said nothing. He was much more careful about his own bag, regarding the neatly folded clothes in his drawers with scrutiny. He made sure to stock up on socks and underwear in particular.
"And just what does she think she's going to do anyway, huh? I mean, I know she knows how to fight and all, but she's a writer for Merlin's sake. She's not a damned Auror, like Dad."
Albus continued to pack quietly. He half-listened to his brother's ranting, but for the most part consumed himself with the task. He had two jackets he was considering, but only one was waterproof. He'd better bring that one.
"Are you even listening, Al?" James snapped at him, finally, as Albus knew inevitably would happen, turning his anger on his little brother. "Do you even care that all this is happening? I mean, I didn't see you trying to convince Mum to let us go." He narrowed his eyes. "Your own little sister wants to go, but you don't? Why am I not surprised?"
Albus regarded him levelly, his green eyes revealing nothing. Before he had the chance to defend himself, if he was even going to bother, Lily stomped into the room. She dropped a bright pink duffel bag on the ground and it landed with a loud thunk. It was so full that the zipper hadn't been able to close properly, and from what Albus could see her packing methods were much more similar to their older brother's than his own.
"I'm ready," she said moodily. "But I don't like it. I don't like this. What if Mum never comes back?"
The boys simultaneously noted with surprise that Lily was close to tears. It sent a shiver of panic through each of them; Lily rarely cried. If she was crying, then things had to be pretty awful.
"Don't worry," James said, awkwardly fumbling for the words to comfort a sister who usually didn't need it. "She will. Mum's tough. She knows what she's doing."
Albus knew better than to point out that this statement was practically the opposite of what James had said not one minute before. Instead he closed up his own bag, and watched his siblings. The three Potter children could only seem to stand there, looking at each other. None of them was ready to go back downstairs and to get dumped on their aunt and uncle while their mother went out and risked her life for their father, who might already be dead anyway.
It occurred to all three that this was the worst thing that ever happened to them.
"Well, let's go then," Albus prompted finally. On his part, as much as he would rather stay behind, if they had to go then he was anxious to get moving. He made for the door, but James interrupted him.
"Hey, Al," he said, "I, er, what I said. Look, I get it. I mean, maybe it is a little crazy to want to go along. I'm just not thinking straight, and I'll er, get over it."
Lily shot him a look, thinking over his words before figuring out was going on. She turned her gaze to Albus. She hadn't said anything, more because she didn't know what to make of it than as matter of showing any kind of tact, but she'd also noticed his silence during their argument downstairs.
"You won't," Albus said quietly. He had a peculiar expression on his face, one that Lily didn't recognize. More often than not Albus's face was hidden behind a book anyway.
James frowned. "I'm trying to apologize here, you know I'm no good at it…"
"Shut up," Albus said. It was quite an assertive statement. James was so surprised he shut his mouth tight immediately. Albus regarded his brother and sister and in that moment Lily realized what was different, what she couldn't place before. Determination.
If Ginny had been there to see, she would have noticed it right away. James wearing that expression resembled Harry, maybe, but when Albus wore it… it was like stepping through time. But she didn't see, and the kids couldn't know.
"I didn't say anything for a reason," Albus explained. "I don't want Mum to be suspicious."
"Suspicious of what?" Lily breathed, her eyes wide with actual amazement.
"That we're going to sneak away, of course," Albus said. "We're going to go out and find Dad for ourselves."
"Merlin's balls," said James. "Who are you and what have you done with my little brother?"
"He's right here," replied Albus. "And he's got a plan."
Author's Note: So there you have it! Just as a side note to any extreme nit-pickers: I'm aware that James and Al, according to Harry, specifically do not share a room. I say they do. I guess you can officially count my fanfiction as AU then, lol.
Until next time!

Bournemouth all but sealed promotion to the Premier League for the first time
A 3-0 win over Bolton means that barring a set of freak results at the weekend, the Cherries will be playing in English football's top flight next season.
The only way that the Cherries will now not be promoted automatically is if Middlesbrough can manage a 19-goal swing in their final game against Brighton and if Bournemouth lose to Charlton.
In short, it simply won't happen and Eddie Howe has gotten his side into the Premier League.
Goals by Marc Pugh, Matt Ritchie and Irish-qualified Callum Wilson secured the 3-0 win over Bolton and sparked wild celebrations at Goldsands Stadium.
Bournemouth just escaped relegation out of the Football League in the 2008-09 season but they are now in line to play with the big boys next season, a remarkable turnaround for the south coast club.
Yet Charlton have posted a cheeky tweet suggesting their promotion is not quite secure yet, which has proved to be a big hit among Twitter users.
Bournemouth celebrating like they've completely ruled out a 19-0 defeat at The Valley on Saturday. We'll see... #cafc

This is a discussion about the competing ideas of ending the current drug war and continuing the drug war. The show is "Our Story" and its Walter Block's 2nd appearance. The Host W.C. Johnson introduces Dr. Walter Block in the following manner. First he says "Keep in mind what firewater, that's alcohol did to the indigenous people of this continent." He follows this up by intentionally introducing Walter Block as General George Armstrong Custer. He does this to compare Dr. Block to Custer, more specifically Block's view of ending the current drug prohibition to Custer introducing Native Americans to alcohol. W.C. Johnson pulls up film from Block's previous visit and is left in stupefaction when Block says that if blacks were paid less for the same job as whites (while producing the same amount of revenue as the whites) this would be good because it would end (some) racism. Block's reasoning is that either businesses who refuse to hire blacks would go out of business or wages for blacks would increase. If more businesses would hire blacks natural integration would occur. This type of integration is cheaper and more effective than the government type of integration.

Hey guys it's Azu here and it's been awhile since I made an entry relating to my pasta. The funny thing about this is that chapter 8 is barely five paragraphs long. Well, at least I'm making progress in the pasta. I don't know if this will be novella length or not.
The pasta is reaching nearly 10 chapters which might be overkill for some readers. But hey! The Goosebumps books were novellas and people have told me they can breeze through them without a problem. As for chapter 9, I won't give too much away but it will basically tie in to an event that happened earlier in the story.
Who knows how long the 9th chapter will be. It could be only a couple of paragraphs or a whole essay lengthed (typically 5 or more paragraphs) chapter.

Welcome to our website. We are named Abundant Grace Church because we believe that our focus needs to be on grace—what God has done for us, rather than on what we do for Him. If we learn to receive and enjoy God's grace, then we will be wonderfully prepared to love and serve others. Knowing the grace that Jesus brought to us through His cross inspires us and empowers us as a people.
Our heart is to see the city of Boston impacted by the Spirit of God—including our own church. We want to see multitudes of people set free and transformed by the love of Christ. For years we have been praying with other churches around the city, crying out to God for a spiritual awakening. That hour is nearer now than when we first began.
We want to be a fellowship that genuinely loves and cares for each other. We want to be a growing church that reproduces and starts other churches around the city. As one song aptly says, "we want to see Jesus lifted high".
Grace be with you,
Dave Hill
NOTE: We have a new location! All services are now at the Presentation School Foundation Community Center, 640 Washington Street, Brighton. Sunday worship is at 10:30am in the Common Room 002 on the ground floor. Our office is Suite 204.

You should be able to get a round trip flight, hotel, and car package from almost anywhere in America to Salt Lake City for less than $400 per person, if you book all three together online.
Additionally, using the Name-Your-Own-Price feature on priceline can save as much as 40 percent on airfares, and up to 60 percent on hotel rates.
Save even more money by making all travel arrangements at least two weeks in advance.
You might also visit craigslist and look under "housing" for vacation rentals, sublets, apartment swaps, campsites, and other alternative lodging options.

Be aware that certain rules apply to naming your own price on priceline.
For example, no changes can be made to your itinerary, no part of your payment can be refunded, and you don't always get to choose a specific hotel.You also don't necessarily get to choose the time of day you wish to travel.

While Vodafone 3G is only available in selected areas at the moment, the company has already started releasing some 3G compatible devices. Vodafone R201 MiFi is one such device which uses the Vodafone 3G network to build a Wi-Fi network.
Vodafone R201 MiFi allows maximum of five different devices to get connected to its Wi-Fi network simultaneously. This DLNA certified device supports HSDPA 7.2 Mbps, HSUPA 5.76 Mbps and Wi-Fi 802.11b/g networks. You can either run it on battery, or can power it up by connecting it to mains or USB cable.

Hi - I have an upcoming trip to SF and am wondering what Uighur/Uyghur/Islamic Chinese food I can find in the area. I'll be staying downtown with limited time, so I won't be able to trek to the outer suburbs. Seems like Old Mandarin Islamic Restaurant is pretty good (and hopefully still open - their former URL no longer works). Anything else along those lines I shouldn't miss, or anything unusual/unusually good in Chinatown, since I'll be staying close by? Thanks a lot!
I discovered Uighur food on a business trip to Montreal and have been chasing it down (with mixed success) ever since!

In order to work as a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) in any state, you must have a LPN license issued from that particular state. If you move to a different state, such as Hawaii, and wish to continue your career as an LPN, you must obtain a license in your new state of residence by "endorsement" rather than by examination.
Obtaining an LPN License by Endorsement in Hawaii
Meet all of the original requirements for a LPN license in the state. This includes the completion of a board-approved and accredited nursing program, baccalaureate or associate degree and either the National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX) or the State Board Test Pool Exam (SBTPE) in another state.
Complete the Hawaii Application for License Without Exam (see the Resources link below). Be sure to either type your responses or print legibly using blue or black ink. It is also important that you include your social security number on the application. Your SSN is a federal requirement for a professional license of any kind.
Include a check or money order made payable to Hawaii Commerce and Consumer Affairs for the application fee. The fee amount varies depending on when your will receive your license, so you will need to contact the Hawaii Board of Nursing at (808) 586-3000 to verify the amount due.
Fill out and send via certified mail the Verification of License Form (NSG-03 found on the Resources link) to the state/territory board of nursing in which you received your original LPN license by examination. You will also need verification of your NCLEX or SBTPE exam scores and your education credentials.
Approach your new employer in Hawaii and ask that he fill out and sign the Verification of Employment Form (also found on the Resources link).
Submit the following to the Hawaii Board of Nursing: the application for licensure without exam, the application fee, a copy of your current US LPN license with expiration date, proof of mailing for the Verification of License Form, and the Verification of Employment Form.
Tips & Warnings
- If you submit the items in Step 6 properly, you will receive a temporary permit to work as an LPN in Hawaii while the Board fully processes your application. Keep in mind, however, that you will only receive one permit and you can only use that permit to work for the employer listed on the Verification of Employment Form.
- If you are transferring from Canada to Hawaii, it's important to know that the Hawaiian Board of Nursing does not recognize the CNATE exam as acceptable for obtaining an LPN License in Hawaii.

Read This! : Business Writing That Works Paperback
by Robert Gentle
Go on, admit it: most of the business documents that cross your desk really test your patience.
If you're brave enough, you'll skim through them in an attempt to capture the key points.
More often than not, you'll find them or throw them into the bin. That's because most business writing is long, complex and takes forever to get to the point.
This is self-defeating as the available reading time is often only a few minutes or less. In this book, you'll learn to: * Grab and sustain your reader's attention * Produce a user friendly layout * Draw attention to key passagesIt's a fundamental set of techniques that you'll be able to apply to all kinds of business writing - letters, e-mails, reports, memos, websites, business plans, forms, sign boards and even graphs.
Read This! Will demolish many of the enduring myths that many of us hold dear about business writing - for example, that Times New Roman is the best font, that you must always start a letter with Thank you, or that a report must always have a conclusion at the end.

Tubular driveshafts are used on all models incorporating needle bearing U-joints. An internally splined sleeve at the forward end compensates for variation in distance between the rear axle and the transmission.
Long wheelbase models use a 2-piece driveshaft with a center support bearing. The front section is supported at the rear end by a rubber cushioned ball bearing mounted in a bracket attached to the frame crossmember. The ball bearing is permanently sealed and lubricated.
