"Yeah...when's the last time you did anything outside of your comfort zone?"
I had to actively keep my mouth from falling open when I heard my daughter's sarcastic voice say this to me.
Me. Have I failed to live my philosophy of "if it makes me nervous I should probably do it"? I don't think so, but perhaps. Of course, she could just have been a teenager trying to show off in front of her best friend.
Although this morning's conversation wasn't a driving force behind my decision, it certainly roared to the forefront when I started to wiggle on my belly through a tunnel under an ice berg.
Since the wind had finally deigned to die down and I'd heard the skating was good out at Valdez Glacier lake, Thane and I took our barely-broken-in ice skates out for a spin. Although rough in many places, the ice was clear of snow and well worth exploring on blades.
As they were coming of the ice, Cynthia and Andy pointed off to our right and said, "See the bright blue ice berg? There's a tunnel under it." I'd heard of the tunnel before, but wasn't sure where it was. As we stumbled away from the shoreline snow, I said, "I want to go over by that berg." I wasn't about to tell Thane that I wanted to find the tunnel; I was sure he'd refuse.
As we wended our way over to the berg, I noticed a couple of snowmachines parked beside it. About that time, my left skate blade sank fully into a crack in the ice that I'd also noticed and failed to miss. I heard an icy crunch, felt my foot sink, and was sure the lake ice had broken under me. Fortunately, I guess, I wasn't plunged into frigid water, but instead just smacked my left knee and right hand onto very hard ice. "Ow" was the least of what I said. With Thane's help, I regained my footing and stumbled on.
Two machines, one rider. Bill pointed out the tunnel under the massive ice berg and said his friend was crawling through. About that time we heard a voice echo out from under the ice. Bill took off to meet his friend at the other side just before a bearded face poked out of the tunnel. Proof that it could be done - I needed no further encouragement!
I took the blades off my ski boots and used them to pull myself along the shiny ice, feeling rather like a seal using its front flippers to pull its mass over the rocks. I stopped to take a photo of the exit about 100 feet away. It seemed like so much further.
As I wriggled further into the tunnel, a space that quickly became to low for me to be on hands and knees, I could hear Scout bark-howl behind me. It was her "I don't like this at all" noise.
I stopped to take another photo and heard, "Keep moving" from behind me.
"Are you in here, too?" I asked Thane.
"Yes. You've got me under a mass of ice, so keep moving." I was astonished. Thane's always asserted that he hates small, tight, underground spaces. Caves? No way. When I commented on it later, safely outside the tunnel, he said, "I don't like it, but that doesn't mean I'm a weenie." I took that to mean I could get him to do most anything if I did it first.
It was surprisingly tiring to wiggle on my belly for that distance, especially when the ice got rougher and I couldn't just slide over it. Twenty feet or so from the end I was finally able to crawl, but the knee that I'd previously smacked really didn't like it. Although it seemed longer, I'm sure it was only five minutes or so before we were through to the other side, even Scout.
I was covered in snow and surprised that the front of my coat wasn't shredded, but there was a big grin on my face. Even another painful fall didn't diminish the fun of the afternoon as we skated further around the lake and back to our truck.
My box may be bigger than some and smaller than others, but I do my best to stretch its sides and burst through its boundaries...no matter what Rowan thinks.

'Goodbye Christopher Robin' is the story of Winnie-the-Pooh's creator, while other films will explore Charles Dickens and J.R.R. Tolkien.
Learn the story behind the popular tales of Winnie-the-Pooh in this feel-good film. 'Goodbye Christopher Robin' stars Margot Robbie, Domhnall Gleeson and Kelly Macdonald.
On paper, the life of a writer, even that of a world-famous icon, doesn’t seem overly cinematic. For those whose pen actually is mightier than a sword, the works often overshadow the personality.
Still, Hollywood’s got a fever for classic authors, especially those of British lineage. Goodbye Christopher Robin (in theaters Friday in New York, Los Angeles, Phoenix and Washington, expands to additional cities through October) tackles Winnie-the-Pooh creator A.A. Milne, while The Man Who Invented Christmas (out Nov. 22) shines a seasonal light on Charles Dickens. And the upcoming Tolkien is the life story of The Lord of the Rings scribe J.R.R. Tolkien.
Previous prestige films about similar bygone-era writers have found awards-season success: Finding Neverland (2004) snagged seven Oscar nominations and one win (for original score) with Johnny Depp as Peter Pan playwright J.M. Barrie, and Renée Zellweger received a Golden Globe nomination for her role as The Tale of Peter Rabbit author Beatrix Potter in Miss Potter (2006).
The key to keeping these potentially dry true-life stories creative and exciting for a modern audience is “just trying to find the moments that made these people,” says The Man Who Invented Christmas director Bharat Nalluri.
Tolkien, with Nicholas Hoult as the purveyor of Middle-earth lore, will focus on how friendship, romance and battle inspired the author’s fantasy epics. Like Tolkien, Milne (played by Domhnall Gleeson) was a World War I veteran; Christopher Robin showcases how the author grappled with PTSD and struggled with personal connections, only to befriend his young son (Will Tilston) and hatch the world of his renowned children’s books.
Inhabiting a man haunted by the ghosts of war is what challenged Gleeson the most, “reading about how shut off a person can feel to the world and keeping that interesting enough to watch,” the Irish actor says. “It’s a scary thing, being able to take you back to a place that your mind wasn’t able to cope with."
The Man Who Invented Christmas also has biopic elements but it’s more a fantastical look at Dickens’ creative process, his desperate need for another literary hit in 1843 and the whirlwind six weeks he had to write A Christmas Carol.
Played by Dan Stevens, the wild-eyed Dickens goes on his own time-traveling journey alongside Ebenezer Scrooge (Christopher Plummer) while reflecting on his life through the ghosts of Christmases past, present and yet to come when hurrying to finish his holiday masterpiece.
“I would like to think that if Charles Dickens was around to watch this film, he’d enjoy it because it’s nuts. It’s mad like he was,” says Nalluri.
He adds that A Christmas Carol and Winnie-the-Pooh have stood the test of time partly because they’re “very effective and very affecting” with their authors having gone through “some trauma or childbirth element” to create them.

Arya Stark is the pick you didn't know you wanted.
Netherrealm’s iconic fighter Mortal Kombat is returning in April for its eleventh edition, and fans are already fervent with excitement for who the guest characters might be.
That’s not because Mortal Kombat’s core characters don’t cut it; they cut everything and everyone to pieces. Scorpion et al stand up against the likes of Ken Masters, Jin Kazama and Ivy Valentine without assistance. But with the amazing guest spots they’ve had in the last two games particularly, it’s natural that there’s an interest this time around.
When it drops in 2019, it’ll end the four year wait in between 10 and 11. In that time, we’ve had Soul Calibur VI, Tekken 7, Injustice 2, the Switch’s new Smash Bros and many more besides. Some of those have been good, some have even been great, but none have quite filled the void Mortal Kombat leaves in between instalments.
It’s not just the tight, combo-driven fighting style that makes it great, either. We get that from Injustice and some prefer Tekken or Smash Bros’ free-flowing style. No, for raw, jaw dropping violence, MK can’t be beaten, and that’s why whoever the guest characters are, they’d better bring the blood.

Like a kid on her gap year abroad who's filling her feed with Angkor Wat Instagrams, the beauty industry is returning home with an expanded idea of what "beautiful" can be—and a suitcase full of juice masks and ghassoul to play with as a result.

Peloton Online has taken a significant step towards an initial community offering within 2019.
The business that makes fixed bikes included in an online workout program, is certainly interviewing banking institutions for tasks in that BÖRSEGANG (ÖSTERR.), according to the Wsj.
Underwriters are required to be chosen within several weeks.
Peloton is definitely expected to look for a value in excess of the particular roughly $4 billion estimation last year following a fund-raising circular led simply by venture-capital company TCV, some people said.
That value was a sharpened jump in the $1. twenty five billion degree at which the business raised funds in 2017.
Peloton is just one of many businesses that could create 2019 the banner yr for IPOs, although the procedure for some businesses has been postponed because of the incomplete government shutdown.
FOX Company has documented that ride-hailing firms Above all Technologies plus Lyft and many recently the particular workplace-messaging corporation Slack Systems have plans to look public.
Peloton’s stationary bicycles sell for costs ranging from $2, 245 in order to nearly $2, 700 whenever packaged along with various components.
A lot of Peloton’s clients use the bicycles at home, having to pay about $39 a month in order to stream reside classes the company creates using its very own instructors.

text: Diana Krall was born into a musical family in Nanaimo, British Columbia, Canada (on November 16, 1964). She began learning the piano at the age of four. In high school, she started playing in a small jazz group. At the age of fifteen, she started playing regularly in several Nanaimo restaurants. She also spent some time in Toronto studying with Canadian Jazz great, Don Thompson (Bass/Piano) and with the support of the Canada Council for the Arts she moved to the U.S to continue studies and develop her career. Her playing attracted the attention of bass player Ray Brown, who brought her into touch with influential teachers and producers. At the age of seventeen, she won a scholarship from the Vancouver Jazz Festival to study at the Berklee College of Music in Boston. After three terms she moved to Los Angeles to study with Jimmy Rowles, with whom she also began to sing. In 1990, Krall relocated to New York. She is married to British musician Elvis Costello.

Dell announced Monday that it is acquiring San Jose, Calif.-based Wyse Technology, a maker of VDI software and thin clients. The news comes just days after Dell launched a virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) refresh centered around Citrix and VMware desktop virtualization software, new 12G PowerEdge server hardware and expanded cloud-based offerings.
The move signals that the IT giant is buying Wyse to boost sales of its enterprise systems, adding momentum to Dell's narrowing focus on the data center. By acquiring Wyse, Dell also gets some valuable IP and substantial market presence.
Wyse brings 180 patents and more than 300 resellers to the table. Its product portfolio and global footprint make it a thin-client leader in the VDI market, which is booming, according to Matt Eastwood, vice president of the Enterprise Platform Research group for IDC.
"The total market for desktop virtualization solutions should continue to see strong growth globally, with the larger revenue and margin opportunities coming from the data center infrastructure, cloud and services offerings that are tied to thin-client and desktop virtualization technology sales," he stated.
And that can drive demand for Dell's data center products, like servers, the company's bread and butter. "Thin-client and desktop virtualization solutions typically drive high attach rates to data center solutions, including servers, networking, storage and services," says Eastwood.
The announcement also indicates that Dell has bigger plans for cloud-based VDI.
Wyse has positioned itself as a cloud-based client computing provider in recent years. Today's deal is an extension of that strategy, according to the Wyse's president and CEO, Tarkan Maner.
"The combination of Wyse and Dell provides us with tremendous growth opportunities for our core desktop virtualization business, helps us expand into new and fast-growing market segments including mobility and cloud computing, and provides us with reach and scale we did not previously have," said Maner in a company statement.
Wyse currently offers management and virtualization software that covers VDI platforms from Microsoft, Citrix and VMware. It also specializes in mobile device support and services that extend virtual desktops over cloud infrastructures.
The companies expect the deal to close this summer during the second half of the Dell's 2013 fiscal year (currently in 1Q2013). Terms were not disclosed.

Our PTA began in 2004 and since then has gone from strength to strength. Our aim is to raise money for the children to enhance their education and pay for the fun little extras that the school budget cannot cover.
As a parent of a child at Carlton School you are automatically a member of the PTA and that means that your views and ideas are extremely important to the Committee.
Our present committee consists of a small number of parents representing just about every year in the school, including Lower and Upper Foundation. The Committee is elected at our annual AGM. We meet once a month for approximately 1 hour to organise our events and decide how to spend the money we raise.
We are a registered charity which means we can take advantage of matched giving schemes from volunteers who work in many large organisations (please see the attached Matched Giving document). We are also well supported by the local community through sponsorship and donations.
Being on the PTA is very rewarding and our children have told us that they really like having us around in school.
Maybe you could join us and see for yourself.
Our aim is to raise money to buy things for the children and also to provide them with opportunities to have lots of fun.
Printed t-shirts for Year 6 leavers.
We use the main playground as our base to sell tickets for our events. They can also be purchased from the Post Office.
PE kit for sports teams.
CONTACT DETAILS: You can contact us by email at carltonprimarypta@googlemail.com, via Facebook ‘Carlton Primary School PTA' or see us in the playground.
Have you heard about easyfundraising yet? It's the easiest way to help raise money for Carlton School PTA! If you already shop online with retailers such as Amazon, M&S, Argos, John Lewis, Comet, Vodafone, eBay, Boden and Play.com, then we need you to sign up for free to raise money while you shop!
We've raised £1269.64 with easyfundraising so far but we need your help to keep donations coming in. Sign up at http://www.easyfundraising.org.uk/causes/carltonschool and start making a difference...simply by shopping.
Thank you to every parent who has supported the PTA. Without your amazing support we would not be able to give all the children the little extras that make going to Carlton School even more special than it already is!

By definition all Cothi Garden Club members are likely to be plant lovers. Therefore it makes sense to have a stall at each of our meetings where plants can be purchased. This can then raise much needed funds for the continuation of the club and also feed our ‘plant habits’! Surely a ‘win- win’ situation.
This is therefore a request for good quality, potted up, labelled, and priced plants to be donated each meeting. A table will be set up for such a ‘Plant Shop’ at the back of the hall, with a tin for the money to be left in. Please price your donation/s according to size of pot, type of plant and so that it reflects the true value while being less than a garden centre would charge. This way those purchasing will have a good quality product at an advantageous price- again a ‘win – win’ situation!
It would be good if the ‘Plant Shop’ involved as many members as possible. It is understood that not everyone will be in a position to offer plants so perhaps they could consider purchasing one instead so that this is a fully inclusive venture.
The Plant Shop will be open for business before the meeting while refreshments are served so it will not be competition for any of the speakers who may also be selling their plants after their talks. Please remember to take home your unsold plants at the end of the meeting.
Many thanks and look forward to seeing what interesting plants are available for sale.

Harry woke up to Ron's voice and a heavy package landing on his chest.
Some reading material for your new line of work. Merry Christmas!
Harry worked his way through the rest of his packages: quidditch posters from Ron, a new sweater from Molly, a pile of Weasley products from George, a box of Honeyduke's hot fudge from Ginny, a dragon skin coat from Hagrid, and a hand knit pair of wool socks from Kreacher.
"Good haul mate?" Ron made his way over from his own bed.
"Let's get downstairs, I smell breakfast." Both boys made their way down to the breakfast table where George, Aubrey, Percy, Penelope, Mr. Weasley, Ginny and Luke were already seated. The table had had to be extended until it nearly touched the walls on both ends in order to accommodate everyone.
"Where's Hermione?" Harry asked Mrs. Weasley as she piled waffles onto his plate.
"She hasn't made it down yet. Bill and Fleur went for a walk through the village and I'm not sure where Charlie is." She chatted idly while scurrying back and forth putting food on plates. Harry sat quietly as the noise level grew, everyone chatting excitedly and swapping details about their gifts. It was enough of a gift to him to simply enjoy the company of everyone he loved most.
"Harry I'll take that dear." Mrs. Weasley waved her wand and Harry's empty plate made its way through the open kitchen door.
"Let me help." Harry stood up. There was still one thing he needed to take care of.
"I insist." Harry followed a flustered Mrs. Weasley into the kitchen and closed the door behind them. "Mrs. Weasley…"
"I'm planning on going to see Andromeda later if you would like to tag along." Mrs. Weasley had her back turned as she watched the sink fill itself with water.
"That would be great, but I want to talk about Ginny." Mrs. Weasley noticeably stiffened. "I wanted to say that I'm sorry."
Mrs. Weasley didn't say anything, the sink filled with water and with two flicks of her wand she mixed soap in and the dishes began to wash themselves. With nothing else to preoccupy her, she heaved a sigh and turned to Harry.
"It's alright dear, it's nothing that the two of you can't find your way through. Arthur and I had our fights too." Her voice had a false cheeriness to it that made Harry cringe.
"Mrs. Weasley, I'm not going to get back together with Ginny."
"Nonsense dear, you just hit a snag is all."
"Harry dear," her fake smile faltered and a tear appeared in her eyes, "would you kindly run upstairs and see if Charlie is in his room?"
"Mrs. Weasley, I'm sorry things didn't work out with Ginny and I'm sorry if I hurt her in any way. I certainly didn't mean for things to work out this way, but we really are through." Harry watched as Mrs. Weasley's veneer finally cracked and she surveyed him with watery eyes.
"Harry dear, you can't really mean that can you?"
"But everything was going to be so perfect." Mrs. Weasley blew her nose into a handkerchief, "You would marry Ginny and be my son and Hermione would marry Ron and be my daughter….and it's not that I don't like the new girl, but why couldn't they have at least tried to work things out?" Mrs. Weasley was sobbing now and she took a seat on a stool. Harry took a step towards her, but froze as she looked over her handkerchief and grabbed his hand. "Are you happy Harry?"
"Yes." Mrs. Weasley let out a fresh wave of sobs before she wiped her eyes and blew her nose again. She stood up and wrapped Harry into a hug.
"Well, I suppose that's all a mother can really ask for." She stepped back and placed her hands on his face, appraising him with pride shining on her face. "I know you hear this often, but you look so much like your father. He's proud of you, you know. Even prouder than I am."
Harry heard James' voice in his mind, "We are….so proud of you."
"I know." He smiled as Mrs. Weasley let out one more sniff.
"Now, run along now I have everything handled here." She shooed him out of the kitchen.
Harry returned to the dining room to find that everyone but Percy and Mr. Weasley had left the table.
"The boys are in the sitting room Harry if you'd like to join them." Mr. Weasley said mid-flow of his conversation with Percy.
"Thanks Mr. Weasley." Harry made his way to the sitting room to find George, Ron, Charlie and Bill all drinking eggnog and trying out a new board game that George had come up with.
"Care to join us Harry?" Charlie turned to face him, offering him an eggnog.
"Sure." Harry took a seat between Charlie and Ron while George explained how the game worked. The game was quite fun, but Harry's mind drifted to Hermione and what she may or may not have found out about Luke.
"Merry Christmas Hermione." Luke offered Hermione a small golden wrapped package. She carefully untied the bow and neatly unwrapped the paper. "You know it's okay to tear it right?" He grinned broadly at her.
"I know, but it just seems rude to tear to pieces what it took someone time to do." Hermione answered, not bothered at all by the thought that Luke had probably wrapped it by magic. It was a small box that contained a charm in the shape of a book.
"I remember you mentioned one time that you'd like to buy a charm for that necklace of yours."
"Thank you Luke." Hermione smiled, the gift was thoughtful without being overboard. The sick feeling in her stomach had nothing to do with the gift and everything to do with the two shrunken packages she had in her hands. Would she really force out the truth by magic? Or would she trust that Luke would be honest when confronted?
Have you tried just talking to him?
Harry's voice echoed in her mind. If she couldn't bring herself to trust Luke, then she could at least trust Harry's instincts.
She unshrunk the red package.
"Merry Christmas Luke." Luke unabashedly tore off the paper as if to show her how presents were supposed to be unwrapped.
"Oh wow, this is that book from Hogsmeade you had to hear me drone on about. You remembered." Luke's grin went from ear to ear. He was seemingly always happy, but there was something to her remembering that detail that seemed to really make him glow. While she hated ruining the moment, Hermione thought she would perhaps never have a better chance than this.
"Luke, can I ask you something?"
"What…." She hesitated, perhaps instead of accusing him it would be best to come clean herself. "What were you talking about with that girl in that hallway at Hogwarts? She said something about not getting me involved and that you needed to tell me something. What was that about?"
The smile slid off Luke's face like someone had thrown stinksap on it. "What are you talking about?"
"I was heading to breakfast and I took a shortcut. When I reached the exit I heard you talking to a girl. She said you "needed to tell me" and you refused. She said it wasn't fair that you involved me without me knowing. What was she talking about?" Hermione's voice grew stronger on every syllable. Now that she was confronting him, her indignation about being kept in the dark was building.
Luke frowned. "You weren't supposed to hear that."
"And that makes it somehow better? When were you planning on telling me?"
"When I had no other choice."
"Well I'm not giving you another option, so tell me now." Hermione felt her insides bubble with anger. Only Ron had ever worked her up like this.
"It's not that simple, you don't understand." Luke's voice began to rise.
"Why don't you try me? Or do you take back all those compliments about my, what did you call it, Ravenclaw wits?"
"No, it's not like that."
"Then tell me what is is like." Hermione cast a silencing charm on the door of Ginny's room.
"You have no idea." Luke's voice suddenly went very quiet and his face twisted with suppressed fury. "You have no idea what it is like to be me. Living your life pretending you're something you're not."
"You probably caught my guard slipping at some point. It becomes really hard sometimes to keep pretending."
"What is it you are…" Hermione was growing more bewildered by the second.
"Do you know why Dumbledore and Grindelwald were such a big deal?" Luke interrupted her.
"It wasn't just because they were two powerful wizards. There was a lot of gossip about the two of them. People said a lot of things about the kind of relationship they had. Some folks said they had a falling out over it. It was the hottest topic of the time." Luke was talking faster and faster. "And you know why that is? It's blood. Everything in this world comes down to blood. There's only so many of us right? Witches and wizards. Even fewer of us still who are purely of wizard stock like me. There's a responsibility that comes with that. It's why parents encourage marrying young. They don't want their little boy left without a suitor. It doesn't even enter their minds that little johnny may not even want it, or worse, that he may want something different."
Luke's hands were shaking and a lone tear had escaped his eyes. "You want the truth Hermione? I'm miserable. I'm lonely and angry and just so miserable."
Hermione's hand went to her mouth. "Luke….are you gay?"
Luke let out a long breath. "Yes Hermione."
Her mouth simply hung open. This was far beyond anything Hermione could have expected. "Who else knows?" her brain went on autopilot.
"My friend Veronica, Fred and George Weasley, and my parents."
"Wait….Fred and George know?" Hermione gasped.
"Yeah. I was always good friends with the twins, Fred in particular." Luke seemed to deflate a little, "They caught on to why I never seemed to care about the pretty girls. They never treated me any differently though."
"She's a first year Ravenclaw I befriended on the train. That's the voice you heard. I told her about it a few months ago after another one of my parents' letters came." Luke's eyes burned with anger. "My parents only care about the family name and bloodline. I'm an only child."
"Then why go out with me? Why pretend to be so interested in me?" Hermione felt her own anger rise in spite of herself.
"To appease my parents. They were threatening to pull me out of Hogwarts." Luke's tone softened, "I'm sorry Hermione. Being with you made them happy, even if you were a muggleborn. I thought that if I made them happy for a while they would forget about pulling me out and then I could tell you and end it."
Hermione simply gaped at him. So she had simply been a pawn in a game she wasn't even aware was being played. Luke stared at her with eyes filled with guilt. She felt her own guilt begin to fester and rise into her throat. While Luke had been playing one game, she had been playing another.
"I'm sorry I hurt you Hermione…."
"No, listen." She interrupted him, "I'm sorry too. I need to be honest with you. The only reason I agreed to go out with you was to get over someone else."
Luke nodded his head solemnly. "Harry right?" Hermione nodded. "I have to admit that I thought there was something there. It was part of the reason I felt I didn't need to tell you. As long as we could both play our game we could both get what we wanted."
"I'm sorry Luke." Hermione exhaled. "But I have to ask: why do your parents care so much? And surely it's just them right? Not every witch and wizard thinks there's anything wrong with who you are."
Luke actually laughed. "You truly are an idealist Hermione. Of course other witches and wizards care. Most do. You really think a society as obsessed with blood and bloodlines as wizards are would openly tolerate people who wouldn't keep it going? Haven't you noticed how anachronistic wizards are?"
"That's appalling." Hermione's temper flared again. "So what if two wizards love each other? All this blood nonsense is absolutely ridiculous."
"Agreed, but as it stands it makes it very hard for people like me to be who they really are. Nobody crossed Dumbledore because he was so powerful. Later in life they dropped it all together once he basically became a celibate and made the world such a noticeably better place. It suited their interests to let it slide."
For a moment neither of them said anything. The truth of the conversation was still sinking into Hermione.
"So what do we do now?" she looked up at Luke.
"I won't hold you to this sham of a relationship. You know the truth about me now, besides I think we both know who you really want to be with." Luke smiled, but it was a small sad smile instead of his perfect grin. There was something more genuine about it and Hermione smiled back.
"But what about your parents? What will you do?"
"I'll tell them it didn't work out. They're not stupid; I can't imagine they really thought it would last."
"Luke you need to confront them. You can't let them force you to live a lie."
Luke sighed. "And what would come of it Hermione? Even if by some miracle my parents had some change of heart, there are still a whole lot of other wizards that would look down at me and no other wizard in his right mind would ever openly love me."
"Luke you can't just give up. It's not fair."
"Of course it's not." Luke's voice shook and another tear slid down his face, "But life isn't always fair." Luke waved his wand to lift Hermione's silencing charm. "I think its best that I go home. I hope you enjoy the rest of your holidays Hermione." He gave her one last sad smile before he turned and walked out the door.
Hermione stood rooted to the spot. The last few minutes played on repeat in her mind while she struggled to make sense of it. She had not expected to end up feeling sorry for Luke or for the injustice that was his life. She had spent her life deploring the plight of magical creatures like house elves and wizards like her who were looked down on because of their birth, but never could she have imagined someone having to live in such misery based solely on who they loved.
She needed space to be able to absorb all of this. She grabbed her winter coat and threw a scarf around her neck. There was a park near here where she often snuck away for alone time. She had no desire to see anyone else, but she knew Harry to be downstairs with the others. Despairing over how to tell him where she was going, she decided that she could send her patronus down. It might raise some eyebrows, but it would be better than having to explain herself in person.
She closed her eyes and remembered the moment Voldemort had hit the ground. She had run to Harry and squeezed him with all her might, joy at seeing him alive and triumphant nearly making her heart burst.
Her eyes widened in shock as a large silver doe erupted from her wand instead of the gamboling otter.
While her love for Harry was nothing new to her, there was something about having physical proof in front of her that sent her heart racing. She hesitated sending it to him, knowing that if he were to see her patronus now that it would mean she would have to explain why hers matched his.
Then she thought about Luke and how he wasn't free to live life as himself because wizard society made it intolerable. Meanwhile the only thing keeping her from being who she truly was was her own stubborn pride.
Filling the patronus with her message, she waved her wand and sent it galloping down the stairs. There was no turning back now.
Hermione turned on the spot and felt the tight squeeze of apparition as the image of swing hanging from an oak tree filled her mind.

The current number-one song, as of the chart dated for December 10, 2016, is "Blue Ain't Your Color" by Keith Urban.
Billboard began compiling the popularity of country songs with its January 8, 1944 issue. Only the genre's most popular jukebox selections were tabulated, with the chart titled "Most Played Juke Box Folk Records". The chart length was not standardized; a given week had anywhere from two to eight positions.
The "best sellers" chart – started May 15, 1948 as "Best Selling Retail Folk Records". This chart had anywhere from 10 to 20 positions during its ten-year life, with the number of positions varying each week.
A "jockeys" chart – started December 10, 1949 as "Country & Western Records Most Played By Folk Disk Jockeys". This chart had anywhere from eight to 15 positions, varying from week to week.
The names of each chart changed slightly during each chart's life. The "jukebox" chart – which by 1956 was known as "Most Played C&W in Juke Boxes" – ended on June 17, 1957. The "best sellers" and "jockeys" charts continued until October 13, 1958.
Starting with the October 20, 1958 issue, Billboard began combining sales and radio airplay in figuring a song's overall popularity, counting them in one single chart called "Hot C&W Sides". The chart began with a standard length of 30 positions each week. The name of the chart, and the number of positions varied through the years: Its name was switched to "Hot Country Singles" on November 3, 1962; it was expanded to 50 slots on January 11, 1964; then 75 on October 15, 1966; and finally 100 beginning July 14, 1973.
On January 20, 1990, the Hot Country Singles chart was reduced back to 75 positions and began to be compiled entirely from information provided by Nielsen Broadcast Data Systems, a system which electronically monitors radio airplay of songs. Four weeks later, on February 17, the chart was retitled "Hot Country Singles & Tracks". Beginning with the January 13, 2001 issue, the chart was cut from 75 to 60 positions, and effective April 30, 2005 the chart was renamed "Hot Country Songs".
From its inception in 1973 through August 2009, American Country Countdown used this chart in its programming, using the top 40 singles/tracks on it for each week.
The Hot Country Songs chart methodology was changed starting with the October 20, 2012 issue to match the Billboard Hot 100: digital downloads and streaming data are combined with airplay from all radio formats to determine position. A new chart, the Country Airplay chart, was created using the previous methodology (airplay exclusively from country radio stations). Following the change, Taylor Swift's "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together" shot up to number one on the new chart; it would begin the longest run at No. 1 on the country chart since the 1960s. However, its length of stay at No. 1 was soon surpassed by Florida Georgia Line's "Cruise". It has likewise remained buoyed by a new remix featuring Nelly; it has had the longest stay at number one of any song in the country chart's history (24 weeks).

When a loved one dies, grieving family members and friends often are confronted with dozens of decisions about the funeral arrangements in Zurich – all of which must be made quickly and often under great emotional duress.
What kind of funeral should it be? What funeral provider in Zurich should you use? Should you bury or cremate the body, or donate it to science? What are you legally required to buy? What other arrangements should you plan in Zurich? And, as callous as it may sound, how much is it all going to cost?
Here you can learn what to do if a friend or loved one in Zurich has just died or if death is expected sometime soon. The following Zurich funeral arrangements guide will take you through the steps of arranging a funeral from making the first call when someone dies to the various arrangements to be made following the funeral.
The First Call results in an initial transfer of the deceased from the place of death to a funeral home or other facility in Zurich. In some cases, a second transfer may be required either – locally to another funeral home – or to another city for ceremonies and burial.
Planning a funeral involves making many decisions concerning funeral ceremonies, funeral products and final disposition of the body. For assistance in arranging funerals people usually turn to Zurich funeral directors.
If cemetery property has not already been purchased, it will be necessary to meet with a cemetery representative in Zurich to purchase a burial or entombment space. In some cases, the funeral director can make these arrangements on behalf of a family.
There are various options for purchasing caskets, grave markers, and other funeral merchandise in Zurich. These products are available through a funeral home, cemetery, monument company, or other retailer.
Following the funeral, the affairs of the deceased must be put in order. These matters range from sending death notices to filing death benefit claims to changing title of the Zurich deceased’s belongings.
1. Shop around in advance. Compare prices from at least two funeral homes in Zurich. Remember that you can supply your own casket or urn.
2. Ask for a price list. The law requires funeral homes to give you written price lists for products and services in Zurich.
5. Recognize your rights. Laws regarding funerals and burials vary from state to state. It’s a smart move to know which goods or services the law requires you to purchase and which are optional in Zurich.
