Big Decision
This past weekend, after much, much thought, prayer and discussion with my family, I decided to apply to my agency's waiting child program. This doesn't mean that I will be referred a SN child. It just means that I have allowed this option. This wait had really opened my eyes to the program. I honestly was afraid of dealing with this as a single parent. However, after much consideration, I decided I could. Who knows what will happen. I'll continue the wait for my daughter and I'm going to love and care for her because she is that, my daughter. Honestly, a child who is labeled NSN could have an SN that is not visably apparent. So, we'll see what happens. I honestly haven't a clue.

Disneyland Adventure
Posted by Jamie at 4:41 PM 0 comments
A Dream is a wish your heart makes
Can I just say that Disneyland is truly one of the best places to escape? I took my 9 year old niece this past week and we whooped it up like two tween girls. We ate junk, got on rides and laughed, laughed, and laughed. It was a lot of walking, but Space Mountain is so worth it. I was able to escape from my world, into an enchanting world where everything is a bit overpriced, but it's so fun. I discovered that it truly is a small world and that the song is really annoying! We loved Mr. Toad despite the fact he ends up in h-e double hockey sticks (at least that's what we figured...we learned that driving should be done with diligence and caution!) We also found out that the Abominable Snowman is not scary but his sled is one heck of a ride. The wait for Nemo was outrageous so we decided another time to visit with the cute clownfish. It was fun visiting with various Disney characters and seeing the great shows (except The Golden Scream and High School Musical 2, Alex was bummed about them). All I know is that we all need a small break now and then and this was definitely what I needed. I'm so glad my niece thought it was cool to hang with her Aunt Jamie for a few days. I'm glad she's a tough cookie who can withstand getting soaked on Grizzly Rapids and getting a blister on her foot because of the wet socks (I brought dry clothes but not socks, duh!) I'm glad to be home but I can't wait until the next time I can escape to the world of Disney. It is the happiest place on earth.

Time keeps ticking away
Time has gone by fast. I can't believe that it has been two years since I started this process. There have been good days and bad days. This past weekend was a rough one for me. I had to go to my cousin's baby welcome home party. I spent Sunday morning in tears. I'm so sad and frustrated that I started my journey way before she did and here she is now, holding her son. I'm still waiting to hold my daughter. I know that sounds petty but that was how I was feeling. Then I started thinking about how big of a baby I'm being and that some of my fellow waiting famiies have been waiting longer and grieving more because of infertility. How selfish am I? So, I got myself together and went. It was hard, but I went. We all have our good days and our bad days. This was my bad weekend. For all of you waiting, my thoughts and prayers are with all of us that we will have the strength and patience we need to make the wait.

No referrals for my agency!
The word is that there are no referrals for my agency this round. When I think that it's going to pick up, it downshifts and gets even slower. I guess that's what I get for thinking huh? I am very happy for all of those who did receive their referrals today. They have waited 22 months to hear the magic words "You have a child!" Our day too will come. Let's hope soon.

Another first-round exit could be costly for Alain Vigneault
Head coach Alain Vigneault of the Vancouver Canucks watches from the bench in Game Three of the Western Conference Quarterfinals against the San Jose Sharks.

"My job this year is no different than other years: I've got to win. In a couple of years, a lot of people are going to realize how special and how classy this group was."
-- Canuck coach Alain Vigneault, to The Vancouver Sun, April 24, 2013
SAN JOSE, Calif. – He knew what was coming. Everybody did. After seven seasons with the Canucks, 313 National Hockey League wins, six Northwest Division titles and two chances to win one game for the 2011 Stanley Cup, Alain Vigneault understood these playoffs could be his last stand.
His job is to win in the first round and beyond, and he is failing. The Canucks have so not won against the San Jose Sharks, who are stronger, deeper, more disciplined and just generally better. They can sweep their first-round series here tonight, which would be the Canucks' first 0-4 exit from the playoffs since 2001.
"I have to believe and I think this group also believes that we can win one game,"Vigneault said Monday, the day after another third-period unravelling by the Canucks led to a 5-2 loss in Game 3. "That's what we're up against tomorrow. We've got to win one game. We haven't beat this team once this year. Can we beat this team one time?"
Possibly. But can they beat the Sharks twice? Can they beat them four times in a row?
Almost certainly not.
In NHL history, teams that trail 0-3 are 3-for-172 at coming back to win a series.
If the Canucks win only once, they'll be out of the tournament as quickly as last season and nobody pegged that 4-1 loss to the Los Angeles Kings as the over/under for measuring success this spring.
Vigneault may not have to win 16 playoff games – the Stanley Cup – to save his job, but consecutive first-round exits probably isn't going to do it. Losing nine of his last 10 playoff games isn't going to do it.
General manager Mike Gillis, as responsible as his coach for what we're seeing, was conspicuously absent from the rink on Monday.
Gillis doesn't seek counsel from fans or reporters, but he answers almost daily to owner Francesco Aquilini, who admits he is a fan at heart and always seems sensitive to what people say about his team.
Things will get really interesting if the owner wants the coach gone and the general manager refuses. Gillis didn't take Dave Nonis' job five years ago to top up his pension and work until retirement age.
He is an unconventional GM with sensibilities different than a lot of "old school" hockey people and he may walk away rather than fire the winningest coach in franchise history – if Gillis thinks Vigneault is not to blame.
There is also a market correction looming for the Canucks, who have sustained a level of superiority for more than a decade and a generational change in players. But poor drafting – and the annual sacrifice of second- and/or third-round picks to bulk up for the playoffs – has left the Canucks without the next wave of players willing to step into the NHL behind Daniel and Henrik Sedin, Ryan Kesler and the veterans on the defence.
The biggest difference between the Canucks and Sharks, second only to Vancouver in wins the last five regular seasons?
San Jose has groomed and developed excellent young players like Logan Couture, Joe Pavelski, Matt Irwin, Justin Braun and Tommy Wingels to support and eventually supplant established stars Joe Thornton, Patrick Marleau and Dan Boyle.
On the Canucks, there remains an Angel Falls-like dropoff behind the Sedins and Kesler.
If Gillis is going to voluntarily close the window to win on this Canuck team sooner than the players' ages dictate, he'll need more in the pipeline than Frankie Corrado, Nicklas Jensen, Brendan Gaunce and Eddie Lack
And as far as trading the Sedins or anyone else to facilitate a quick remake – or to satisfy the shrill cries for full-scale changes – nearly all the Canucks' core players have years remaining and no-trade clauses on their contracts.
Chances are the Canucks remain largely intact under a new coach next season and take another run at the playoffs, hopefully with the long-neglected issues of depth, size and grit at forward finally addressed.
"We don't care about that," Canuck captain Henrik Sedin said Monday. "We're focussing on tomorrow. It's not up to us to make (roster) decisions after that."
Asked if he felt at all responsible for jeopardizing Vigneault's employment, Sedin said: "Of course, you always feel responsible. You feel responsible now. Down 3-0, it's tough to go through. As the top players, you're the ones who are supposed to score and help your team win. If something happens, the onus is usually on the top players and it's no different for us."
It is a myth that NHL coaches are frequently fired for not winning championships. They're fired mostly because their teams are lousy.
Of the 70-plus NHL head coaching changes since 2005, nearly half came in-season and on underachieving teams. Of the others, rare is an example of an elite team dumping a winning coach because the manager or owner was dissatisfied with playoff performance.
San Jose coach Todd McLellan, however, got his job in 2008 because Ron Wilson couldn't succeed in the playoffs the way he did in the regular season. So McLellan knows what is at stake here.
"If the series was the other way, that guillotine would be over Todd McLellan's head," he said. "It's just the way it goes. Alain is a tremendous coach. Do I think that Alain deserves that? By no means do I. I think he's an excellent coach and will coach for many years."
But probably not one more for the Canucks.

Boehner's hometown feeling pinch of government shutdown
House Speaker faces three primary challengers next year
In House Speaker John Boehner's hometown, people are starting to feel the pain of the federal government shutdown and some are getting anxious about his standoff with President Barack Obama.
The southwest Ohio area Boehner has represented since he was a township trustee four decades ago has grown steadily in that time, with hundreds of small businesses rising along Interstate 75 about 20 miles north of Cincinnati.
Now they're wondering, along with the rest of the country, how long the shutdown will last, whether an accord will be reached to avoid the country's first financial default, how Obama's health care overhaul will play out, and how delays in their business because of the shutdown will affect the bottom line.
"If things continue down this road, it's going to affect all of us," said Joe Hinson, president of the West Chester-Liberty Chamber Alliance.
Uncertainty about what's ahead can show up in everything from scuttled real estate deals to the size of tips that people leave to restaurant workers, he said.
"There's a trickle-down effect," Hinson said before leading the chamber's monthly luncheon meeting this week at the Wetherington Golf & Country Club.
While the House speaker was in a stare-down with the president in Washington, businesspeople networking before lunch in West Chester, where Boehner has his home, described how they're being affected.
"We can't get stuff finalized to close," said Rob Young of VanDyk Mortgage. "Things are sitting idle."
Young and others in the business said home sales and mortgage approvals are getting held up because of curtailed operations by the U.S. Housing and Urban Development and other federal agencies needed in closing sales and loans.
William Keck, a business attorney for the Millikin & Fitton law firm, described delays in starting new companies and settling the estates of people who've recently died. They've had difficulty getting federal identification numbers and other information needed to open bank accounts, get insurance payouts, transfer stock and process estates.
"There are some real hassles," Keck said. "They're not the end of the world, but they're just holding up a lot of the economy."
Others said hiring employees also has been complicated by a lack of federal information, including the free E-Verify service that employers use to make sure prospective workers are legal.
"We're spending more time and money to make sure we're doing our due diligence," said Ketan Pema, operating partner of The Drycleaning Shop, which wants to add two workers to its current 10.
Pema said the business is paying a third party for pre-employment background checks.
Boehner spokeswoman Brittany Bramell said his office has received thousands of calls and emails from constituents in the district, most of them supportive.
Chamber president Hinson said that while many are frustrated by the standoff, they are proud of Boehner's national profile, feel a sense of shared values because of his entrepreneurial background and realize he's "in a tough situation."
"It's just too big. It's not up to one person. It's both sides," said Young when asked whether Boehner should do more to break the impasse. He said both sides need to work together to find middle ground.
Boehner has been re-elected by wide margins since he first won the seat in 1990, but he does have critics in the heavily Republican area where some conservatives didn't like him voting to authorize Obama to take military action against Syria and don't think he's been forceful enough against the health care overhaul and on immigration.
Eric Gurr, a computer consultant from neighboring Liberty Township, is one of three Republicans who plan to challenge Boehner in next year's primary. Gurr said he feels "disconnected" from the House speaker after being a Boehner supporter.
He said many conservatives in the district want Boehner to stand firm and they're impressed that Boehner's showing "a little standup attitude." But, he said, "The underlying current is that he's going to cave, and we are not going to get the changes we need."

Last week, we heard our first rumors about Samsung's Galaxy Mega line, which would introduce phones with 6.3-inch and 5.8-inch screens to Samsung's ever-growing Galaxy family. Today, Samsung made them both official: the phones are real, and they're coming to Europe and Russia in May. The phones will be available "globally," but "availability varies by market" and the phones will be "rolled out gradually" to other territories.
While the phones have large screen sizes, there's otherwise nothing particularly high-end about them. The 6.3-inch model comes with a 720p display (Samsung lists it only as "HD," but uses "Full HD" to indicate a 1080p display), a 1.7GHz dual-core processor from an unnamed manufacturer, 1.5GB of RAM, and 8 or 16GB of storage. The 5.8-inch model steps down to a 960×540 display, a 1.4GHz dual-core processor, 1.5GB of RAM, and only 8GB of storage. Both include Android 4.2, the latest version of Android.
We don't yet have pricing information for the phones, but given the specifications, we expect them to be a bit cheaper than handsets like the Galaxy S 4—there's probably a market for people who want a large, inexpensive phone but don't necessarily care about pixel density. Otherwise, it seems like a step backward to offer these comparatively low-resolution displays on these large-and-in-charge phones just weeks after introducing a 5-inch, 1080p flagship.
While ever-inflating screen sizes are the norm for Android phone manufacturers, Samsung in particular seems determined to make a phone for every hand size on the Earth. The Galaxy Mega, the Galaxy Note, and the Galaxy S lines are all good options if you've got big hands, but the 4-inch Galaxy S II Mini and the 3.2-inch Galaxy Young (which we saw at MWC among its larger brethren) have tiny hands covered, too.

The Exodus s the story of the enslavement of the Israelites in Egypt following the death of Joseph, their departure under the leadership of Moses, the revelations at Sinai, and their wanderings in the wilderness up to the borders of Canaan. Significant portions of the story told in the books of Exodus,Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy are not and were never intended to be historiographic, but the overall intent was historical according to the understanding of the ancient writers: to demonstrate God's actions in history, to recall Israel's bondage and salvation, and to demonstrate the fulfillment of Israel's covenant.
The Book of Exodus tells how Moses leads the Israelites out of Egypt and through the wilderness to Mount Sinai, where God reveals himself and offers them a Covenant: they are to keep his torah (i.e. law, instruction), and in return he will be their god and give them the land of Canaan. The Book of Leviticus records the laws of God. The Book of Numbers tells how the Israelites, led now by their God, journey onwards from Sinai towards Canaan, but when their spies report that the land is filled with giants they refuse to go on. God then condemns them to remain in the desert until the generation that left Egypt passes away. After thirty-eight years at the oasis of Kadesh Barnea the next generation travel on to the borders of Canaan. The Book of Deuteronomy tells how, within sight of the Promised Land, Moses recalls their journeys and gives them new laws. His death (the last reported event of the Torah) concludes the 40 years of the exodus from Egypt.
- First Plague: Water Turns to Blood (Exodus 7:14-25)
Then the LORD said to Moses, "Pharaoh's heart is hardened; he refuses to let the people go. Go to Pharaoh in the morning, as he is going out to the water. Stand on the bank of the Nile to meet him, and take in your hand the staff that turned into a serpent. And you shall say to him, 'The LORD, the God of the Hebrews, sent me to you, saying, "Let my people go, that they may serve me in the wilderness. But so far, you have not obeyed." Thus says the LORD, "By this you shall know that I am the LORD: behold, with the staff that is in my hand I will strike the water that is in the Nile, and it shall turn into blood. The fish in the Nile shall die, and the Nile will stink, and the Egyptians will grow weary of drinking water from the Nile."'" And the LORD said to Moses, "Say to Aaron, 'Take your staff and stretch out your hand over the waters of Egypt, over their rivers, their canals, and their ponds, and all their pools of water, so that they may become blood, and there shall be blood throughout all the land of Egypt, even in vessels of wood and in vessels of stone.'" Moses and Aaron did as the LORD commanded. In the sight of Pharaoh and in the sight of his servants he lifted up the staff and struck the water in the Nile, and all the water in the Nile turned into blood. And the fish in the Nile died, and the Nile stank, so that the Egyptians could not drink water from the Nile. There was blood throughout all the land of Egypt. But the magicians of Egypt did the same by their secret arts. So Pharaoh's heart remained hardened, and he would not listen to them, as the LORD had said. Pharaoh turned and went into his house, and he did not take even this to heart. And all the Egyptians dug along the Nile for water to drink, for they could not drink the water of the Nile. Seven full days passed after the LORD had struck the Nile.
- Second Plague: Frogs (Exodus 8:1-15)
Then the LORD said to Moses, "Go in to Pharaoh and say to him, 'Thus says the LORD,
"Let my people go, that they may serve me. But if you refuse to let them go, behold, I will plague all your country with frogs. The Nile shall swarm with frogs that shall come up into your house and into your bedroom and on your bed and into the houses of your servants and your people, and into your ovens and your kneading bowls. The frogs shall come up on you and on your people and on all your servants."'" And the LORD said to Moses, "Say to Aaron, 'Stretch out your hand with your staff over the rivers, over the canals and over the pools, and make frogs come up on the land of Egypt!'" So Aaron stretched out his hand over the waters of Egypt, and the frogs came up and covered the land of Egypt. But the magicians did the same by their secret arts and made frogs come up on the land of Egypt. Then Pharaoh called Moses and Aaron and said, "Plead with the LORD to take away the frogs from me and from my people, and I will let the people go to sacrifice to the LORD." Moses said to Pharaoh, "Be pleased to command me when I am to plead for you and for your servants and for your people, that the frogs be cut off from you and your houses and be left only in the Nile." And he said, "Tomorrow." Moses said, "Be it as you say, so that you may know that there is no one like the LORD our God. The frogs shall go away from you and your houses and your servants and your people. They shall be left only in the Nile." So Moses and Aaron went out from Pharaoh, and Moses cried to the LORD about the frogs, as he had agreed with Pharaoh. And the LORD did according to the word of Moses. The frogs died out in the houses, the courtyards, and the fields. And they gathered them together in heaps, and the land 7stank. But when Pharaoh saw that there was a respite, he hardened his heart and would not listen to them, as the LORD had said.
- Third Plague: Lice (Exodus 8:16-19 )
Then the LORD said to Moses, "Tell Aaron to raise his stick and hit the dust on the ground, and everywhere in Egypt dust will become lice." They did this. Aaron raised the stick in his hand and hit the dust on the ground, and everywhere in Egypt the dust became lice. The lice got on the animals and the people. The magicians used their magic and tried to do the same thing. But the magicians could not make lice come from the dust. The lice remained on the animals and the people. So the magicians told Pharaoh that the power of God did this. But Pharaoh refused to listen to them. This happened just as the LORD had said.
- Fourth Plague: Swarms (Exodus 20-32)
The LORD said to Moses, "Get up in the morning and go to Pharaoh. He will go out to the river. Tell him that the LORD says, 'Let my people go and worship me! If you don't let my people go, then flies will come into your houses. The flies will be on you and your officials. The houses of Egypt will be full of flies. They will be all over the ground too! But I will not treat the Israelites the same as the Egyptians. There will not be any flies in Goshen, where my people live. In this way you will know that I, the LORD, am in this land. So tomorrow I will treat my people differently from your people. This will be my proof.'" So the LORD did just what he said. Millions of flies came into Egypt. The flies were in Pharaoh's house, and they were in all his officials' houses. They were all over Egypt. The flies were ruining the country. So Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron and told them, "Offer sacrifices to your God here in this country." But Moses said, "It would not be right to do that. The Egyptians think it is terrible to kill animals as sacrifices for the LORD our God. If we do this here, the Egyptians will see us and throw stones at us and kill us. Let us go three days into the desert and offer sacrifices to the LORD our God. This is what he told us to do." So Pharaoh said, "I will let you go and offer sacrifices to the LORD your God in the desert, but you must not go very far. Now, go and pray for me." Moses said, "Look, I will leave and ask the LORD to remove the flies from you, your people, and your officials tomorrow. But you must not stop the people from offering sacrifices to the LORD." So Moses left Pharaoh and prayed to the LORD. And the LORD did what Moses asked. He removed the flies from Pharaoh, his officials, and his people. None of the flies remained. But Pharaoh again became stubborn and did not let the people go.
- Fifth Plague: Livestock Diseased (Exodus 9:1-7)
Then the LORD told Moses to go to Pharaoh and tell him: "The LORD, the God of the Hebrews, says, 'Let my people go to worship me!' If you continue to hold them and refuse to let them go, then the LORD will use his power against your animals in the fields. He will cause all of your horses, donkeys, camels, cattle, and sheep to get sick with a terrible disease. But the LORD will treat Israel's animals differently from the animals of Egypt. None of the animals that belong to the Israelites will die. The LORD has set the time for this to happen. He said, 'Tomorrow the LORD will make this happen in this country.'" The next morning the LORD did what he said. All the farm animals of the Egyptians died, but none of the animals that belonged to the Israelites died. Pharaoh sent people to see if any of the animals of Israel died. Not one of them died. But Pharaoh remained stubborn and did not let the people go.
- Sixth Plague: Boils (Exodus 9:8-12)
The LORD said to Moses and Aaron, "Fill your hands with the ashes from a furnace. Moses, you throw the ashes into the air in front of Pharaoh. This will become dust that will go throughout the land of Egypt. Whenever the dust touches a person or an animal in Egypt, sores will break out on the skin." So Moses and Aaron took ashes from a furnace and went and stood before Pharaoh. Moses threw the ashes into the air, and sores began breaking out on people and animals. The magicians could not stop Moses from doing this, because even the magicians had the sores. This happened everywhere in Egypt. But the LORD made Pharaoh stubborn, so he refused to listen to Moses and Aaron, just as the LORD had said.
- Seventh Plague: Hail (Exodus 9:13-15)
Then the LORD said to Moses, "Get up in the morning and go to Pharaoh. Tell him that the LORD, the God of the Hebrews, says, 'Let my people go to worship me! This time, I will use my full power against you, your officials, and your people. Then you will know that there is no god in the world like me. I could use my power and cause a disease that would wipe you and your people off the earth.
- Eighth Plague: Locusts (Exodus 10:1-20)
The LORD said to Moses, "Go to Pharaoh. I have made him and his officials stubborn. I did this so that I could show them my powerful miracles. I also did this so that you could tell your children and your grandchildren about the miracles and other wonderful things that I have done in Egypt. Then all of you will know that I am the LORD." So Moses and Aaron went to Pharaoh. They told him, "The LORD, the God of the Hebrews, says, 'How long will you refuse to obey me? Let my people go to worship me! If you refuse to let my people go, then tomorrow I will bring locusts into your country. The locusts will cover the land. There will be so many locusts that you will not be able to see the ground. Anything that was left from the hailstorm will be eaten by the locusts. The locusts will eat all the leaves from every tree in the field. They will fill all your houses, and all your officials' houses, and all the houses in Egypt. There will be more locusts than your fathers or your grandfathers have ever seen. There will be more locusts than there have ever been since people began living in Egypt.'" Then Moses turned and left Pharaoh. Then the officials asked Pharaoh, "How long will we be trapped by these people? Let the men go to worship the LORD their God. If you don't let them go, before you know it, Egypt will be destroyed!" So Pharaoh told his officials to bring Moses and Aaron back to him. Pharaoh said to them, "Go and worship the LORD your God. But tell me, just who is going?" Moses answered, "All of our people, young and old, will go. And we will take our sons and daughters, and our sheep and cattle with us. We will all go because the LORD'S festival is for all of us." Pharaoh said to them, "The LORD really will have to be with you before I let you and all of your children leave Egypt. Look, you are planning something evil. The men can go worship the LORD. That is what you asked for in the beginning. But all of your people cannot go." Then Pharaoh sent Moses and Aaron away. The LORD told Moses, "Raise your hand over the land of Egypt and the locusts will come! They will spread all over the land of Egypt and will eat all the plants that the hail did not destroy." So Moses raised his walking stick over the land of Egypt, and the LORD caused a strong wind to blow from the east. The wind blew all that day and night. When morning came, the wind had brought the locusts to the land of Egypt. The locusts flew into the country of Egypt and landed on the ground. There were more locusts than there had ever been in Egypt. And there will never again be that many locusts there. They covered the ground, and the whole country became dark. The locusts ate every plant on the ground and all the fruit in the trees that the hail had not destroyed. There were no leaves left on any of the trees or plants anywhere in Egypt. Pharaoh quickly called for Moses and Aaron. Pharaoh said, "I have sinned against the LORD your God and against you. Now, forgive me for my sins this time. Ask the LORD to remove this 'death' from me." Moses left Pharaoh and prayed to the LORD. So the LORD changed the wind. He made a very strong wind blow from the west, and it blew the locusts out of Egypt and into the Red Sea. Not one locust was left in Egypt! But the LORD caused Pharaoh to be stubborn again, and Pharaoh did not let the Israelites go.
- Ninth Plague: Darkness (Exodus 10:21-29)
Then the LORD told Moses, "Raise your hand into the air and darkness will cover Egypt. It will be so dark you can feel it!" So Moses raised his hand into the air and a cloud of darkness covered Egypt. The darkness stayed in Egypt for three days. None of the people could see each other, and no one got up to go any place for three days. But there was light in all the places where the Israelites lived. Again Pharaoh called for Moses. He said, "Go and worship the LORD! You can take your children with you. But you must leave your sheep and cattle here." Moses said, "No, we will take them all. In fact, you will give us offerings and sacrifices for us to use in worshiping the LORD our God. Yes, we will take our animals with us to worship the LORD our God. Not one hoof will be left behind. We don't know yet exactly what we will need to worship the LORD. We will learn that only when we get there." The LORD made Pharaoh stubborn again, so he refused to let them go. Then Pharaoh told Moses, "Get out of here. I don't want you to come here again. The next time you come to see me, you will die!" Then Moses told Pharaoh, "You are right about one thing. I will not come to see you again."
- Tenth Plague: Death of the Firstborn (Exodus 11:1-12:30)
Then the LORD told Moses, "I have one more disaster to bring against Pharaoh and Egypt. After this, he will ask you to leave Egypt. In fact, he will force you to leave this country. You must give this message to the Israelites: 'Men and women, you must ask your neighbors to give you things made of silver and gold.'" The LORD caused the Egyptians to be kind to the Israelites. The Egyptians, even Pharaoh's own officials, already considered Moses to be a great man. Moses said to the king, "The LORD says, 'At midnight tonight, I will go through Egypt, and every firstborn son in Egypt will die, from the firstborn son of Pharaoh, the ruler of Egypt, to the firstborn son of the slave girl grinding grain. Even the firstborn animals will die. The crying in Egypt will be worse than at any time in the past or any time in the future. But none of the Israelites or their animals will be hurt–not even a dog will bark at them.' Then you will know that the LORD has treated Israel differently from Egypt. All these officials of yours will come down and bow to me. They will say, 'Leave and take all your people with you.' Only then will I leave!" Then in anger, Moses left the meeting with Pharaoh. Then the LORD told Moses, "The reason Pharaoh did not listen to you is so that I could show my great power in Egypt." That is why Moses and Aaron did all these great miracles in front of Pharaoh. And that is why the LORD made Pharaoh so stubborn that he would not let the Israelites leave his country. While Moses and Aaron were still in Egypt, the LORD spoke to them. He said, "This month will be the first month of the year for you. This command is for the whole community of Israel: On the tenth day of this month each man must get one lamb for the people in his house. If there are not enough people in his house to eat a whole lamb, then he should invite some of his neighbors to share the meal. There must be enough lamb for everyone to eat. The lamb must be a one-year-old male, and it must be completely healthy. This animal can be either a young sheep or a young goat. You should watch over the animal until the 14th day of the month. On that day all the people of the community of Israel must kill these animals just before dark. You must collect the blood from these animals and put it on the top and sides of the doorframe of every house where the people eat this meal. "On this night you must roast the lamb and eat all the meat. You must also eat bitter herbs and bread made without yeast. You must not eat the lamb raw or boiled in water. You must roast the whole lamb over a fire. The lamb must still have its head, legs, and inner parts. You must eat all the meat that night. If any of the meat is left until morning, you must burn it in the fire. "When you eat the meal, you must be fully dressed and ready to travel. You must have your sandals on your feet and your walking stick in your hand. You must eat in a hurry, because this is the LORD'S Passover. "Tonight I will go through Egypt and kill every firstborn man and animal in Egypt. In this way I will judge all the gods of Egypt and show that I am the LORD. But the blood on your houses will be a special sign. When I see the blood, I will pass over your house. I will cause bad things to happen to the people of Egypt. But none of these bad diseases will hurt you. "You will always remember tonight–it will be a special festival for you. Your descendants will honor the LORD with this festival forever. For this festival you will eat bread made without yeast for seven days. On the first day, you will remove all the yeast from your houses. No one should eat any yeast for the full seven days of this festival. Anyone who eats yeast must be separated from the rest of Israel. There will be holy assemblies on the first day and the last day of the festival. You must not do any work on these days. The only work you can do is preparing the food for your meals. You must remember the Festival of Unleavened Bread, because on this day I took all of your people out of Egypt in groups. All of your descendants must remember this day. This is a law that will last forever. So on the evening of the 14th day of the first month, you will begin eating bread without yeast. You will eat this bread until the evening of the 21st day of the same month. For seven days, there must not be any yeast in your houses. Anyone, either a citizen of Israel or a foreigner living among you, who eats yeast at this time must be separated from the rest of Israel. During this festival you must not eat any yeast. You must eat bread without yeast wherever you live." So Moses called all the elders together and told them, "Get the lambs for your families. Kill the lambs for the Passover. Take bunches of hyssop and dip them in the bowls filled with blood. Paint the blood on the sides and top of each doorframe. No one must leave their house until morning. At the time the LORD goes through Egypt to kill the firstborn, he will see the blood on the sides and top of each doorframe. Then he will protect that house and not let the Destroyer come into any of your houses and hurt you. You must remember this command. This law is for you and your descendants forever. You must remember to do this even when you go to the land the LORD is giving you. When your children ask you, 'Why are we doing this ceremony?' you will say, 'This Passover is to honor the LORD, because when we were in Egypt, he passed over the houses of Israel. He killed the Egyptians, but he saved the people in our houses.'" Then the people bowed down and worshiped the Lord. The LORD had given this command to Moses and Aaron, so the Israelites did what the Lord commanded. At midnight the LORD killed all the firstborn sons in Egypt, from the firstborn son of Pharaoh (who ruled Egypt) to the firstborn son of the prisoner sitting in jail. Also all the firstborn animals died. That night someone died in every house in Egypt. Pharaoh, his officials, and all the people of Egypt began to cry loudly.
After leaving Egypt during the Exodus The Ten Commandments were witten on stone tablets by the very hand of God Himself.
Check Missler wrote, "There have been few dramas that can equal the cosmic warfare that took place against the gods of Egypt when God used Moses to free Israel from their bondage.We all are familiar with the death of the firstborn that finally caused Pharaoh to release them. Yet few of us, probably, are aware of the significance lying behind the other nine plagues: a cosmic war against the demons of darkness.

Look at the team Nash played on for christ sakes.alexBF wrote:
So you're trading Edler, a DEFENSE who is 2 years younger and had 49 points last year in 82 to games
for Rick Nash, a forward who had 59 points in 82 games.
Look at how Nash has played on Team Canada during the Olympics. Look at how Edler played for us in the playoffs these past two seasons.
By your logic, perhaps 90% of GM's out there would JUMP at the idea of trading Rick Nash for Alex Edler, one for one, if they had the opportunity to do so.
I think not my friend.........I think not.

Magnetic NDT Techniques have wide applications. ALS can assist in using them to your advantage.
How does electromagnetic & eddy current testing work for your business?
- Cracks
- Voids
- Corrosion
- Weld Defects
Create in a magnetic field induced in the tested component or structure. Using various different sensing techniques, these changes in the magnetic field are revealed and our expert technical staff interpret the size and nature of the defect present.
ALS experienced staff provide:
Magnetic particle testing
Magnetic particle testing is the process of examining for features such as cracks, weld defects etc using magnetic particles which are drawn to the surface defects by a magnetic field.
Magnets are commonly handheld, however ALS maintains large magnetic beds to allow high production magnetic particle testing when required.
Eddy current testing techniques
By using electromagnetic induction to create currents in an inspected component, defects are detected by the interruption they cause to these currents.
This science has created many fantastic applications for which ALS has significant expertise, including:
Manual eddy current testing
Using handheld probes, surface defects can be detected through many surface coatings, removing the need to remove surface coatings such as paint, potentially creating significant savings.
With some of ALS more advanced testing equipment, probes are part of encoded arrays, improving productivity.
Saturated low frequency eddy current – SLOFEC
The SLOFEC technique is a world leading technology for fast and accurate corrosion screening and has exceptional capabilities to deliver unmatched high quality defect reports.
The main applications of this technique are the inspection of storage tank floor plates, pipelines and plant piping and pressure vessels.

|Body style
|Azurilland Pokédex
|Generation IV
|Generation V
[[Category:Yellow Pokémon]]
Uxie (Japanese: ユクシー Yukushii) is part of the Legendary Trio found in the Sinnoh Region. It appears in the cave on Lake Acuity after the player encounters Dialga or Palkia. Uxie is encountered at level 50 and is a Psychic type. It is one in the trio of the legendary spirits. Its other counterparts are Mesprit and Azelf. Like Mesprit and Azelf, it is very hard to catch. In Explorers of Time and Darkness Uxie is the guardian of Lake Acuity.
Appearance[edit | edit source]
Uxie is a grayish-blue, fairy-like Pokémon. Uxie has a two long, leaf-like tails encrusted the red gems. It has yellow face and its eyes are closed. Uxie's eyes are closed because it is said to wipe the memories of all who gaze upon it. Uxie has a yellow brain-like helmet with another red gem onto its forehead. Normally, Uxie is a genderless Pokémon but it is referred to as male in the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series.
In the Anime[edit | edit source]
Uxie has appeared in the anime once, after a major battle with Paul, one of Ash's Pokémon was seriously injured in battle, they need to find a berry to heal Monferno, with no other options, Brock went to Lake Acuity to find the Berry. While searching for the berry, Brock spotted a strange shape on the lake's surface, which turned out to be Uxie.
Uxie has also appeared in another episode, where it sided with Brock. Dialga and Palkia apparently have started to fight again. Mesprit then teams up with Dawn, whilst Azelf teams up with Ash. They all work together to calm the two down, while Cynthia is nearby watching.
Evolution[edit | edit source]
Uxie does not evolve.
Game Info[edit | edit source]
In Pokémon Mystery Dungeon Darkness/Time/Sky, it was found in Fogbound Lake. Just like its species, it was so knowledgeable and loyal of all Pokémon. It is shown that he can create illusions, being credited with creating all knowledge in the Pokémon universe. Uxie was first ecountered after the hero and partner defeats Groudon (which is made by an illusion), and it appears, allowing them to enter Fogbound Lake.The Guild members appeared and got shocked after they saw and illusion Groudon generated by Uxie. As they start watching the giant fountain-like light alongside with Volbeat and Illumise, Uxie feels happy of everyone's visit and Chatot tells everyone to go back to the guild after a big expedition. Uxie lets them go, warning them to keep this place a secret from the outside. Some time later, Grovyle defeats Uxie and steals the Time Gear from Fogbound Lake. Uxie was mentioned when the player defeats Mesprit, informing the player that Uxie is aware that its Time Gear was stolen because Uxie used telepathy to tell her what happened.

- Uxie's name is a combination of you and pixie, which is a magical being. Possible other derivatives include the Latin word uxor, meaning wife
- Uxie's psychic powers are incredibly strong, and it is said that it can go anywhere without looking or being hit by an object.
- Uxie is a mascot of Poképedia, where it is depicted with its eyes open and wearing a puzzle piece. Similar to Wikipedia's missing puzzles.

I have a bit of a complicated menu structure that I am trying to figure out the best way to do this.
I have a top nav that has 4 SECTIONS. Each Section has upto 2 levels deep.
Also, I have a SUB Nav that is based on what section you are in and displays as a drill down showing what page you are own.
For example, say I click on a second level TOP NAV - I would then go to that SUBPAGE showing the SUB nav having that section open and selected.
I hope I explained that correctly...
My Question is: What is the best way to do this. I've researched some plugins but I can't seem to find the right one. I don't have to use a plugin.

Puts a Fresh Spin on the Borders that Unite, Divide, and Define Us
Popular Series Takes on a New Shape on September 29 at 10 p.m.
New York, August 23, 2012 - Every state has a shape, and every border has a surprising story to tell. But are Americans aware that our jagged geography actually helped shape us as a nation? HOW THE STATES GOT THEIR SHAPES is back and putting America to the test with back-to-back 30 minute episodes premiering on Saturday, September 29 at 10 p.m. on H2.
Journalist and former Daily Show correspondent Brian Unger hits the road again to uncover the history hidden in our map - but this time, he is quizzing Americans about what unites us and what really divides the states - and exposing some of our country's most stubborn regional rivalries. Competitors will make some fast cash and show their state pride by proving just how well they know their United States. Unger will travel state-to-state from Pittsburg, PA; Miami, FL and Seattle, WA to Chicago, IL; St. Louis, MO and Nashville, TN.
Americans are known for standing firm on their beliefs ... but we seldom seem to reach a consensus. Our state lines shape our loyalties, from tensions between Republicans and Democrats to the culture clash between the North and South. Combining the spirit of a cross-country road trip with the fun of a quiz show, HOW THE STATES GOT THEIR SHAPES explores how our jigsaw-like map fuels different rivalries on themes such as the line between Religion and Government, the Haves and the Have Nots, City Slickers vs. Country Bumpkins, Lawmen and Outlaws, Rednecks vs. Hillbillies, and more.
HOW THE STATES GOT THEIR SHAPES is produced for H2 by Half Yard Productions. Executive Producers for Half Yard Productions are Sean Gallagher and Abby Greensfelder. Kristen Burns and Paul Cabana are Executive Producers for H2.

Packing: we all know the usual suspects – the sun cream, hand sanitizer, baby wipes and first aid kits – that are essential to a successful trip and a recent survey by Columbus Direct found that Brits cannot leave home without their smartphone, book or ebook reader, or sunglasses. But when we asked you what one thing you always pack in your bag when travelling, we got some pretty unusual responses, from pickled onion crisps to an inflatable globe. So, bury that boring bite cream somewhere near the bottom, and make sure you've got a few of these to hand on your next trip.
This is certainly one of the more bizarre answers we had. Community member Sooz doesn't advise to take Marmite to spread on your toast though; she says you should eat a spoonful a day to "keep the mozzies at bay". Apparently it's all that vitamin B that mosquitoes hate. So, whether you love it or you hate it, it might be worth indulging if you're a mosquito magnet.
These can be anything – from pens and pencils, to sweets and chocolate – just as long as you don't mind parting with them when the local kids get wind that you're dishing out treasure. Rough Guides Community member Karla Cachola told us she takes sweets, and "it's worth every smile".
Perhaps this is more of a British packing habit, but there is nothing worse than waking up the morning after that treacherous ten-hour bus ride, looking forward to a cuppa – just the way you like it – and then being presented with a drink that tastes, as Amanda Letch put it so eloquently, "like something that a gnat might excrete". Bringing your own teabags (unless you're in India or China, the homes of top tea) will help avoid that disappointment and keep you energized for the day ahead.
Polaroid Camera
In this digital age we are able to snap as many photos as we want, see them instantly and then discard or keep them without having to print a single thing. Admittedly, this is a fantastic way to remember your trip, but it can make us obsessive and we might end up seeing the whole adventure through a lens. Instead, Community member Matt takes a Polaroid camera: "I love being able to capture a moment and see the actual physical outcome of a Polaroid. It makes me really take my time and decide what to take a picture of because of the limited film".
Pickled onion crisps
Food is not often on the top of anyone's list to make room for in their suitcase, but according to Carroll Marsh, pickled onion flavoured Monster Munch are a great ice-breaker. "No matter what country you're in, people always want to try them. And guess what? They are always a big hit!"
We think this is an ingenious idea. Whether you're beach bumming in the Bahamas or backpacking in Southeast Asia, you're bound to come across a smelly toilet and these little sticks of sweet scent will go a long way to make nature's calling all the more bearable. Jacqui Tatnall also uses them to bring her peace and tranquility after a hard day's travelling.
Deck of cards
Another great tool for bonding with fellow travellers and locals alike is a deck of playing cards. Community member stugreen always packs his "for when the bus that was supposed to turn up at midday arrives at 4pm… the next day!"
A musical instrument
Even if you don't play one, any kind of musical instrument is great for bonding, jamming or learning with the locals. Whether you can teach them your favourite song or want to learn a local tune yourself, they're bound to make some memorable moments. Angie Main takes a charango (a Bolivian string instrument), Ethnotek backpack winner, andmiller89, takes his harmonica, and Izziearth carries her ukulele "because everyone wants to stop and chat to a gal with a uke".
An inflatable globe
Who said learning couldn't be fun?! This little number doubles up: firstly, it's great for showing the locals where you're from and how far you've travelled across the world to meet them, and secondly, Les Gibbons says it's then good for a game of catch with the kids.

may have seen the ad Coke aired during the Super Bowl, where a variety of American sang "America the Beautiful" in their native languages. It was quite controversial, and by controversial I mean idiot racists hated it. Here's hoping they're equally enraged by this new version.
As you can see, it includes several new languages, many of them nerdy in origin. If we're lucky, these epeople will be so furious that someone would deign to speak a language other than English inside the U.S.A. and simply die of apoplexy.

Supercomputers are powerful tools for scientists. They are also very expensive, so wasted time can mean a lot of wasted resources. But making the most efficient use of them is not the easiest proposition in the world; it's not just a case of clicking a button to analyze a protein. However, fitting out the world of supercomputers with a user-friendly, web-based interface is the focus of an open source project based at Western Australia's Murdoch University.
Last year Murdoch publicly launched Yabi, a tool equipped with a web interface to make using supercomputers simpler.
The computational physics community, as an example, may be very proficient in the intricacies of shell scripts and working with a command line, says Professor Matthew Bellgard, Director of Murdoch's Centre for Comparative Genomics. "They've had a lot of experience in the past running their Fortran code using 4000 cores or 10,000 cores," he says. However, "there are other domains where scientists don't necessarily have that skill running command line code or porting their code from one supercomputer to another."
Learning at least a smattering of Perl or some other scripting language is often the norm for life scientists, but it can require a significant investment of time to get up to speed and make a supercomputer do what a scientist wants.
"When we started down this particular path of building Yabi, we wanted to simplify access to supercomputing infrastructure for end users. And the end users typically are non-IT-proficient; consider life science researchers or geoscientists," Professor Bellgard says. "While some of them have the ability to write scripts and use programming languages a lot would prefer to be able to just drag and drop and have access to tools that you could access via the command line, but in a web-based environment. "So I guess our first remit was, 'Can we simplify access to high performance computing (HPC) infrastructure?'"
Yabi has already been used to make life easier for scientists studying metagenomics (genomics is the study of the DNA of living organisms, metagenomics looks at the profile of organisms in a particular sample, for example a soil or sedimentary sample). "Metagenomics is a relatively new area and the tools are just being developed. The tools for data analysis of DNA sequences are readily available, but metagenomics is relatively new."
Professor Bellgard says that there have been marked improvements in productivity thanks to Yabi. "We are able to use the Yabi environment to make available tools in a very accessible way for life science researchers."
The team has made resources available for other research communities, for example scientists studying cattle tick genome. "We've created a bioinformatics resource which behind the scenes uses the Yabi environment," Professor Bellgard says.
Although Yabi comes out of a life science environment, the tool can be used across scientific disciplines. One of its strengths, according to Professor Bellgard, is its flexibility.
"Pretty much any tool that can be run on a command line can actually be incorporated into the Yabi environment. So any command line tool whether it's a statistical tool, whether it's a genomics or a bioinformatics tool, whether it be a remote sensing tool, whether it be an astronomy tool can be incorporated."
And although its focus is on HPC, Yabi utilizes standard tools and protocols so it can be deployed in non-supercomputing environments. The developers are now targeting the cloud; "we are getting Yabi ready for a cloud based deployment which demonstrates that it is a very scalable system," Professor Bellgard says.
"Imagine a workflow, for example, of ten different tools that a user might pull together to conduct analysis on some data. The first tool is selecting a file from a computer that is connected to a remote sensor somewhere in outback Australia, then the next tool is running a file format process that may end up being computationally intensive. The third item is a tool that is on a supercomputer local to the researcher.
"The next tool is remotely accessing another supercomputer, then the fourth or fifth tool is actually utilising the cloud resources and the results are stored in the cloud somewhere. There is no lock in so you get to pick and choose where you run the tools or the administrator does that for the users. You do not have to log in to Yabi in order to get access to your data, so you can choose where the results are stored."
Part of the philosophy driving Yabi is not just simplifying workflow management for end users, but for system administrators too. "You can imagine one scientist comes and says 'please install 10 tools for me into this Yabi environment' but then if 50 scientists come and they all have different tools the last thing you want is the bottle neck to be at the system administration level. We can abstract away the complexities for the user but we also want to abstract away the complexities for the sysadmin."
Yabi was open sourced in July last year. "We were mindful not to open source it too early, because there is a level of support that is required for the international community and we were making sure that the system was in a state that would be able to supported by our group," Professor Bellgard says. It has already been deployed at QFAB the Queensland Facility for Advanced Bioinformatics; and the Murdoch team is "in conversation" with scientists at UTS in Sydney as well as at other universities and CSIRO.
This story, "Yabi: Bringing Drag-and-drop to Supercomputers" was originally published by Techworld Australia.

ALAMEDA (AP) — An NFL arbitrator has denied a grievance filed by former Oakland Raiders coach Lane Kiffin in an attempt to claim the lost salary he maintained he was still owed by the team.
Raiders executive John Herrera issued a statement to The Associated Press on Monday stating the ruling was an overwhelming victory for the Raiders.
In the statement, Herrera said the league stated that Kiffin showed "a stunning lack of concern" for the terms of his contract and for the rules of the club.
Kiffin was fired in September 2008 for cause because of what owner Al Davis described as acts of insubordination and lying by the coach.
Kiffin filed his grievance with the NFL in October 2008 to claim the lost salary he maintained he was still owed by the team for the remainder of his two-year contract.

Shopping malls in town Kuilsrivier, South Africaa object
Shopping malls are places of interest to tourists, since they are where you can buy everything you need for a comfortable trip, from groceries to gear. City residents also prefer to make purchases at shopping malls, since large stores in particular periodically hold major sales events where they can buy quality goods at a discount.
Our directory contains detailed information about all the shopping malls in in Kuilsrivier (El Cabo Occidental), South Africa. Our database publishes information about addresses, phone numbers, routes to stores, store hours, locations of underground and above-ground parking, and elevators. We provide detailed information about the main anchor tenants in the shopping malls (supermarkets, furniture stores, auto parts suppliers, sporting goods outlets, etc.), availability of cafes, boutique shops, children's play areas, and other amenities.
Don't waste time trying to collect little bits of information here and there: use our systematized directory, which brings up-to-date information together in one place.

Even though this 2005 Ford Mustang may look like your average custom American muscle car on the outside, it has a secret. Underneath the hood of this Mustang is a technically British heart in the form of a Ford built 6.0L V12 from a 2001 Aston Martin Vanquish.
This exercise in bastardized brilliance was originally built for SEMA in 2006 and accordingly has all of the oversized wheels and custom interior touches you might expect. It also has a name, Vanquish'd, which by our own admission is a little more clever than most custom car names.
From the 2000kms on the odometer it seems after SEMA and countless magazine features, this car did quite a bit of sitting. With a current asking price of $79,900 we have a feeling there might be some more sitting in this unique Mustang's future, even if it does have one of the more interesting engine swaps we've seen in a while.
Hat tip to Chad Nikon Nikko Gibson!

Scenario : as a developer you want to manually view all the differences between the two last changesets without having to spend your time reviewing file after file in the UI differences window.
Go the command prompt and use the tf diff[erence] command:
tf diff source /version:C22~C23 /recursive /format:unified > C:\Temp\diff.txt
- source is the name of the folder I want to recursively [/recursive] look up all differences
- /version:C22~C23 means that I want to find only the differences between changeset 22 and changeset 23
- /format:unified sets the output type to the Unified format derived from the UNIX based diff –u output format
- > C:\Temp\diff.txt sends the output to the diff.txt textfile
When finished open the diff.txt file in an editor that supports a difference scheme. In the example below I used Notepad2 to load the output file in the diff scheme.
The information written into the textfile is only the specific region in each textfile that's different from the previous changeset. It's a nice way to visually review only the portions of a set of files that were changed. It will save you a lot of time if you otherwise would want to review file by file via the GUI.

The UK videogames industry is suffering because UK university courses aren't equipping students with the right skills needed for the job, a gaming industry campaign group has warned. But it's also partly the Wii's fault, apparently.
A campaign group called Games Up? – which is backed by several UK gaming firms - claims that only four of the UK's 81 videogames degree courses are actually accredited by the Skillset, the government monitoring body responsible for ensuring that students have the core skills required by the industry, such as programming and computer science.
The group want centres of excellence for videogame design created, in an effort to help improve standards of education, training and qualifications. If action's not taken, then leading game firms could continue to desert the UK's talent pool in search of more talented games designers from abroad - as Games Up? already claims they are doing.
David Braben, a spokesman for Games Up?, told The Guardian that the games development sector is "facing a serious decline in the quality of graduates", which is compounded by the problem that "95 per cent of video gaming degrees are simply not fit for purpose".
However, the body's also stated that the Wii has made videogames more popular than ever, leading to the desire for more videogames outstripping the rate at which they can be produced.
For example, Games Up? said that the Wii has expanded the traditional child and teenager demographic for videogames out to gamers aged into their 60s. But we guess they could still like a late-night Grand Theft Auto IV session as much as the next person.

Selectman refuses to resign in wake of assault charge
Russell Harding denies second resignation request
A Danville selectman accused of assaulting a teenager at a town event last month refused to resign after he was asked to step down from his post again Monday.
Selectman Russell Harding was arrested on simple assault charges stemming from an incident where police said he grabbed a teenager by the back of the neck and hit his head on a table during a community movie night last month.
The Danville Board of Selectmen voted to publicly reprimand Harding at their meeting Monday night.
"This board requests your resignation. What is your decision?" Chairman Shawn O'Neil asked Monday.
"No," Harding responded.
O'Neil said he was disappointed by Harding's decision.
"I do believe that selectman Harding -- it would have been in the best interest of the town for him to step aside and deal with these matters of his own and not drag the town through his own personal matters," he said. "I do believe it is a selfish act on his part, and he has lost complete respect of his fellow board members."
Monday's request is the second time the board asked Harding to step down. He refused both times.
"There were two issues: one of him overstepping his authority, and the subsequent arrest and admission that he turned around and touched a child," O'Neil said.
Harding said he had no comment after the meeting.
O'Neil said the rest of the board will attempt to move forward despite what they call "a distraction from town business."
"I don't know what the future holds, but we will deal with it as it comes," he said.
O'Neil said Harding could only be removed if he was convicted of a felony.
"It's the only course that we have at this point. The only way selectman Harding could be removed from this board would be if he was convicted of a felony," O'Neil said.

Train will save, not pave
Essayist Janis Jaquith [April 7 essay: "Trojan train: Keep D.C. a car commute away"] should be advocating for more and better passenger rail service to Washington, D.C., instead of opposing this mode of public transportation, if she really wants a sustainable future for our region.
Charlottesville residents have little choice but to drive or fly to D.C. With more frequent, accessible, and reliable rail connections, many more people would choose the rail alternative. This includes families (especially those traveling with children), seniors who are no longer comfortable driving, school children on field trips, UVA students and alumni from Northern Virginia, UVA faculty and others with business in D.C., those traveling on by train to Boston or New York, tourists, and ordinary citizens on weekend outings, visiting friends and family, shopping or museum-hopping in the D.C. area.
Arriving in Washington's Union Station, passengers can make intermodal connections to just about anywhere in the D.C. area. Jaquith would deny our residents the option of taking the train because of her fear of growth, whereas just about everyone I know travels frequently to D.C. anyway, but always by car.
According to Sierra Club calculations of pollution per passenger mile traveled, the 236-mile round-trip to D.C. costs our environment a whopping 2,258 oz. of pollution by car, 4,118 oz. by plane, and 708 oz. by train. The train option reduces the fuel gluttony of the trip, is far safer than going by car, and requires only a single track compared to lanes and lanes of highway spread across the landscape.
Anyone familiar with the superb intercity rail networks in Europe and Japan knows how much they contribute to the quality of life there. A resurgence in intercity passenger rail is long overdue, and we should start right here, right now, to make it happen.

Equity futures are down hard this morning with the /ES back under the 990 support level:
The dollar is up sharply, gold is down sharply, and bonds are up.
The Empire State index rose into positive territory for the first time since January of '08. I liken this to Japan's headline this morning that recession there ended because they show GDP growth for one period. Yes, from one month to the next, or in this case for two months the index has risen, but industrial production and trade is in the basement and expecting it to fall and fall and fall forever and ever is just as wrong as expecting the stock market to rise forever and ever. It is at such a low pace that just the "cash for clunkers" stimulus insanity program is likely to raise it.
Of course Econoday overdoes the report and turns it into a pump:
The Empire State Report confirms what last week's industrial production report hinted strongly at, that is stability if not growth in the U.S. manufacturing sector. The Empire State index jumped to 12.08 from July's minus 0.55 for its best reading of the recession. New orders show a second month of actual month-to-month growth at 13.43 and a nice acceleration from July's 5.89. Shipments, at 14.11, also show a second month of growth. The pace of destocking is slowing with inventories at minus 22.34 vs. July's minus 36.46. The pace of layoffs is likewise slowing: minus 7.45 vs. minus 20.83. Note that deceleration in destocking and deceleration in layoffs are two key factors that are very likely to push the ISM's manufacturing index over 50, perhaps as soon as the August report.
Other August data from the Empire State report include a gain in prices paid, up more than 3 points to 13.83 to indicate rising demand for inputs likely centered in energy. But demand isn't by any stretch strong enough to create pricing power for finished goods as prices received fell more than 4 points to minus 12.77. Stocks and commodities got an instant but limited lift from today's report which points to strength in Thursday's more closely watched regional manufacturing report from the Philadelphia Fed.
Treasury International Flows (TIC) data was just released and was net NEGATIVE once again, this time by $31.2 billion dollars!
Note that although they claim that foreigners are still buying long dated securities, when all the positions are netted, they are negative, and tremendously so. Continued negative flows shows that capital is choosing to leave the United States. This is a vicious cycle to get started because the more that leaves, the more the Fed needs to print, the more they print, the more likely capital is to leave and so on. The way to make it all stop is to simply allow bankrupt companies to fail, cleanse the debt, cleanse the derivatives, balance the budget and start facing reality. Of course THAT won't happen any time soon, so expect more of the same in regards to international flow of capital.
Amazingly, Econoday managed to turn a negative number into a positive one. I've been looking over foreign holdings of U.S. Treasuries and the reports from the Treasury Department are showing never ending growth in holdings. Those positions are not netted of SELLING, so when Econoday reports treasury buying, they are conveniently forgetting to net the SELLING. That is why we look at NET FLOWS – which is NEGATIVE.
Treasury International Capital data show a big jump in foreign buying of long-term U.S. financial assets in June, at a net plus $90.7 billion for the strongest reading of the year vs. a net minus $19.4 billion in May. Foreign demand was centered in Treasury coupons, at a net plus $100.5 billion despite a dip in Chinese holdings. Foreigners were also very big buyers of equities where the net gain was $19.1 billion. Even demand for agency debt improved to a net plus $5.1 billion. Demand for corporates was weak with the component showing a small net decline in the month.
The net gains do not reflect any entrenchment by U.S. investors who bought a comparatively sizable $32.9 billion in foreign securities. A key negative in the report shows an unwanted dip in Chinese Treasury holdings, at $776.4 billion vs. May's $801.5 billion. But Japan more than made up the difference, now at $711.8 billion vs. May's $677.2 billion. Total flows, which include short-term securities, show a third straight month of net outflows in what however reflects a movement away from risk aversion and toward higher returns. Total net flows came in at minus $31.2 billion in June vs. minus $65.7 billion in May and minus $39.9 billion in April. Markets aren't reacting to the report at least initially, but it does hint at a return to healthy, normal conditions in the global financial markets.
Barf! NEGATIVE NET FLOWS again, it's a BIG DEAL! Oh, and this data is for the month of June. This shows that China was in fact selling Treasuries and pressuring the U.S. in that time frame. Is that continuing? Is that why Bernanke was forced to announce he is ending QE? Hmmm...
Let's get to some technicals… Volume has been falling throughout the entire greenshoots rally. That trend continued last week. Obviously way overbought and up against the upper weekly Bollinger band, prices ran into very strong resistance in the 1,010 area and could not penetrate after two weeks of trying. Thus some retrenchment is expected. McHugh would call it wave 2 of c up of B up. We'll see. Remember, last week was a turn window and we may have made at least a short term turn on Friday.
The working pivot points are now at 990 and then 961.
Thanks to all those who spread the word on my Week in Charts article, yesterday the traffic on the site tripled and it was receiving more than a thousand downloads an hour! That's the goal, to get the word out that twisted thinking like Econoday's spin above doesn't further infect the masses with Economic Mass Psychosis!
Have a great day, I'll be around most of the day, so will talk in the daily thread.
