Welcome to Dubrovnik, stag do destination of kings. What better place for a rip roaring send off than the city where Game of Thrones was filmed? Raise a tankard or 12 and tick a couple of things off your bucket list in Croatia's fantastical city with a Dubrovnik Stag Party.
Dubrovnik Iooks like something out of, well, Game of Thrones! King's Landing scenes were filmed here and it shows. This ancient walled city is one hell of a place for a stag party. Dubrovnik is all winding alleyways, grand baroque buildings, massive domes, shuttered houses, fig and peach trees, and shimmering turquoise waters. Fans of HBO's smash hit series will have an epic adventure amidst Dubrovnik's walls, fortresses, bays, and the mighty Mount Srđ.
Shedloads of bars within the city walls and caves don't hurt either! Over here, holes in the wall don't just dispense cash. You can't go far without stumbling across a cracking watering hole. If you want to get straight to the heart of Dubrovnik's classy nightlife scene, do a bar crawl with a local on night one of your stag weekend. Kick off in Dubrovnik Old Town and then explore the hidden gems off the Stradun.
No Dubrovnik stag do would be complete without a day at Banje beach. We're talking crystal waters, beach volleyball and jet skiing. Finish with beers at a sunset lounge. Stag: smashed!Quote Me

Where am I??? Germany or the Middle East???
Swakopmund Travel Blog› entry 12 of 25 › view all entries
October 18th, 2008 – by: wils0n33
So I wasn't sure how much would be left of Deutsch-Sued-West Afrika, but actually it retains alot of its colonial past. The first thing I noticed once getting off the bus in Windhoek was the German signs everywhere, street signs all say blahblah "Strasse" (actually Windhoek is famous for their "dictator" street names. Like Fidel Castro and Robert Mugabe streets. I had thought about staying in Windhoek for a day or so to see what was there, but it is Saturday and true to its German colonial past, nothing is open, absolutly nothing. The town looks dead, though the town is nice, very clean and orderly. Unfortunatly there is no Intercape bus to Swakopmund today, the adventure capital of Namibia and a mecca for Namibian and German tourists. So I walked around a bit looking for a bus station, since the Intercape just dropped us off in parking lot. I eventually found a local bus station and the guy said he was organizing a minibus to Swakop (as the locals call it) so I payed him and go it. South African Rand is also legal tender here which was lucky for me as I have a bunch left over. I rode with a bunch of locals and their goats and our little wagan pulling bags behind us. Every automobile bigger than a car I saw in South Africa and so far here have these little wagans they pull behind them that are filled with luggage. I was riding shotgun and the bus was in such bad shape I had to hold the door handle during the 4-5 hour journy for fear if it fying open, he actually told me to hold on to it cause it comes loose when we hit bumps. About halfway there we hit a gas station and the guy noticed that oil was leaking all over the back of the van, actually something was wrong and it was spraying all over it. So he pulls aside a mechanic and the mechanic tells him to not go over 100 km/ per hour cause otherwise the bus could catch fire. Driving from Windhoek to Swakop means going through alot of nothing. Namibia is a big country made up mostly of desert and has a small population. It is very beautiful in its own way though, I really liked the drive. Windhoek seams to be a little oasis with deserty/rocky mountains surrounding it. Once outside of Windhoek it starts to get more barren with this high dry grass and these desert type trees. Kind of what I pictured when I think of lions chasing down prey so I thought it looked really cool. You would occasionally see small houses here and there and I imagine that would be tough as it is dry, really dry here. I can't imagine they get much rain fall or do well with crops. The closer you get to Swakop the more barren it gets and the mountains and small trees give way to long stretches of flat rocky/deserty soil with nothing but occasional bushes. The drive reminded me so much of my drive from Petra to Amman in Jordan. Very similar landscape. We passed over several "rivers", you would see a sign for such and such river and then we would cross a brige and there would be just dirt underneath us. There are maybe 1 or 2 real towns between Windhoek and Swakop, there are many little villages though. The towns are all very clean, you can tell Namibians are proud of their country, every town has big sign saying "Keep our country clean" and they do. There is not rubbish everywhere. We hit Swakop and of course everything is closed, but it is a lovely little oasis by the sea right next to giant sand dunes. The town looks so much like Germany it is unreal, the architechture is really cool. Also I spoke German with several people. Actually their German is much better than their English and when they speak English they still throw in alot of German words. Apparently it is still taught in schools. I even got some German cuisine that reminded me why I left in the first place haha.

The High Wire's Burden
Grew up in a sand castle
but never believed the ceiling would cave in.
Most days, I wish my spine was stronger,
my skin was thicker, the nights were longer.
I can see in the dark when I close my eyes
but I admit, I get nervous if I haven't made plans for Friday.
The winds of fancy have never guided me
but neither has a compass.
Some nights, all I carry in my pockets are pesos
and dreams and stories and memories.
I got no time for regrets or stoplights
because life is a one-way street:
I try not to slow down.
I take refuge in the present,
but don't resent the past.
The future, meanwhile, an afterthought.
I was raised to be a polite gentleman,
a safe driver, and a nice person.
But I've been given the middle finger
for holding a door, going the speed limit,
and saying "Good Morning."
I cannot fathom the high wire's burden,
its precarious balance of mortality.
Don't let me fall, but if I do,
replace your teeth with my shattered bones.
My marrow stills aches to taste you
and my skeleton needs time to chew things over.
Atoning for sins means getting lucky:
a rabbit's foot, a four-leaf clover
because we don't all earn our forgiveness.
We cannot each keep his equilibrium.
Sometimes there is no net below
and in the end, no applause.
Just falling, your lips, a tombstone.

An 1890s theater that has been lovingly restored to its original beauty through the hard work of local citizens, and now presents over 90 performances a year in all forms of music, theater, dance, film, comedy,and spoken word. In addition to fine acoustics, the 480 seat venue is intimate and a favorite of performing artists. In addition, the theater places a premium on partnering with local organizations and performing groups.

The complete nucleotide sequence of genomic RNA of hepatitis A virus (HAV) of rapidly replicating strain MB-7 was determined. A comparison of the nucleotide and deduced amino acid sequence demonstrated the highest level of identity of MB-7 with the HAS-15 strain (above 99%) and high homology with other HAV strains (HM-175/7, CR-326, and GBM/HFS) used in the production of anti-hepatitis A vaccines; MB-7 was classified as subgenotype IA. Phylogenetic analysis showed that MB-7 is most closely related to the HAS-15 strain and the HAV viruses circulating in Russia. A comparative analysis of the genomic differences between MB-7 and HAS-15 with other HAV strains revealed changes typical for previously described rapidly replicating HAV strains among the changes characteristic of MB-7 (nt 149-162 in 5′ untraslated region and changes in the VP3 and 2C genes). These results suggest the functional importance of changes in the above-mentioned regions of the HAV genome for an increased level of replication of the MB-7 genome in vitro. © 2010 Allerton Press, Inc.

Ghostly Shadow
This day was bound to come, but no one believed it would have come so quickly. All things die, but when someone dies young and needlessly, it is always remembered.
He watched the faces of those who mourned or came to give their condolences. He often looked to Hermione to watch her actions and reactions. She gave off the appearance of having everything together, despite having just lost her husband of over 20 years. The guests cried more than she did, hugging her and sobbing on her shoulders. Severus wondered who it would be that would finally shatter the shield she had erected around herself.
He felt eyes on him and glanced over to see Rose, Hermione's eldest child trying her best not to cry. At 14 years old, she was intelligent like her mother and terribly perceptive. She and Severus often had long talks. He had come to look at her as the daughter he'd never had.
Only a few people knew he was in attendance, and most of them were too caught up in their grief and their coddling of Hermione to notice him. He kept hidden for the most part. It was better that way. Being a ghost was difficult enough, but constantly having to reason with people why he was tied to the Weasley Family was rather tiring.
He couldn't even die properly to finally find some peace in his life. No, he had become a ghost, tied not to a place, but to a person.
Hermione glanced in his direction and he gave her a crooked grin. It made her smile shyly, and did something to him that she had been doing for the last few years. He pushed that away and concentrated on doing what he felt he was there to do. Comfort Hermione Weasley. He could not comfort her physically. They had learned long ago when he had attempted to hold her after a fight with Ron that Ghosts and the living should not physically interact. The experience had left her with frostbite and him feeling as if the sun had burned him.
Even as a Ghost, the universe taunted him. For in this horrible form he had fallen madly in love with another man's wife.
Hermione was able to keep herself together for the wake. But that night she cried a lot in the privacy of her bedroom. She had loved Ron, though she had admitted to Severus more than once, that she never had loved him as much as he deserved. They had a good marriage, but it was more of a friendship than love and lust. They had often fought as Ron hated that she worked as soon as the children were old enough to be watched by their "Gram'ma Molly" and he very much disliked that she had left her job as an Auror to take up Potions research.
Severus knew Ronald Weasley had hated his presence and the feeling was quite mutual. Severus was always around, talking to Hermione or the children, (especially Rose) except when he knew he would truly not be wanted around. He never had given in to watching anything inappropriate for him to watch. It was not Hermione and Ronald's fault that he lingered around their home.
"Don't you have students to terrorize or something?" Had been Ronald's favorite line to use. He never completely understood why Severus was around, whom he was tied to, and he never learned these answers before his death.
Severus and Hermione learned when she went away for a work trip that he was not tied to her family or home, but directly to her. Being away from her for long periods of time left Severus in pain, something quite unusual for a Ghost. The pain became more and more excruciating as time passed and it affected the link they shared. Also Severus and Hermione could call for each other by merely speaking the other's name aloud in their head. They often finished each other's sentences, much to Ron's annoyance.
Severus had hated the link at first, distancing himself as much as possible from Hermione, no matter the pain. He played tricks on her at first, until that became boring and childish. As the years went by he lived through Hermione. They used their link to conduct research together, something of great comfort and fulfillment to them both.
He watched Hermione cry herself to sleep, feeling helpless. When he was certain she was sleeping some 6 hours later, he left her room, pacing the hallway.
He felt warmth, and someone watching him, and spun to face Rose.
"Shouldn't you be in bed? Tomorrow will undoubtedly be a long day for you and your family." His tone was harsh, yet also affectionate.
"Why don't you say something to her?"
"Say what to who?"
"Don't play, Uncle Severus." The bizarre part of things was that Hermione had named Severus as Rose's godfather. It made no sense, yet it comforted Hermione and was made so. Rose always thought of Severus as family no matter that he wasn't truly alive. She had called him Uncle Severus since she could speak.
"I don't play. It's very late, Rose. Or early if you would prefer to get technical."
"And you don't sleep so it shouldn't bother you."
"There is no need to be flippant."
"I will be so if you continue to pretend you don't know what I'm talking about."
"Spill it, so you can go back to bed."
"Why don't you tell my mother how you truly feel about her?"
Severus froze in place. His robes even stopped billowing. He quickly recovered. "What exactly am I supposed to be telling her?"
Rose gave a huffy dramatic teenage sigh, something he normally did not see from her. "That you are in love with her of course."
"What gave you that ridiculous notion, you daft girl?"
Rose beamed. "I wasn't completely certain, but the name calling just confirmed it. You always start calling people names when they get too close to you or find out things you don't want them to find out. I am not blind, Uncle Severus, nor am I stupid. I see the way you look at my mum and know how you look after her."
"What were you drinking at the wake? Did someone spike the refreshments? Your Uncle George perhaps? Or have you been reading some of those ridiculous teenage romance novels at Hogwarts? Wait until I see the Baron."
Rose frowned and crossed her arms over her chest. "I'm being serious."
"And so am I. Even if what you suggest is true, does it go unnoticed by you, that your father, your mother's husband just died and not only that but…I…am…a…ghost."
"I don't mean that you should tell her right this instant, but you should tell her soon before she decides to date some loser."
"How charming that you have such confidence in your mother's ability to choose a male companion. I repeat myself…I am a ghost."
"And I'm a teenager and the sky is blue and wizards and witches have wands. What's your point?"
"Rose, are you sleep walking? Are you in the land of the living? Ghosts and living people cannot have relationships. Do you know why? Ghosts and living people cannot touch. If they do touch for a lengthy period of time the living person can get frostbite and the Ghost burns. Ghosts and living people are not compatible. Do you think it would be fair to your mother to have a relationship with someone who can never hold her? With someone who isn't even alive? And what of me? I am to watch her wither and die while I live for eternity mourning the loss of her?"
Rose smirked and Severus had the urge to say "Oh bugger" He'd said entirely too much.
"Go to bed, young lady. This discussion is over."
Rose smiled. "For now it is. See you tomorrow."
The funeral came and went and things at the Weasley house took some time to adjust and return to a semi normal routine. Hermione was quieter after Ron's death. It was certainly to be expected.
Rose and Hugo returned to Hogwarts and for the first time ever, Hermione and Severus were left completely alone in the house.
Severus found he didn't know how to act around her. Rose's conversation with him had left him paranoid, and completely heartbroken. He loved Hermione and nothing could ever happen between them. Having a conversation with someone had brought that into very clear perspective.
She was in her lab in the basement when he heard her calling him. It was a distant call, so he knew she had not spoken his name aloud, but in her mind. He floated through the walls down toward the lab.
A green cloud of smoke permeated the air, and Severus knew if he could smell that it would stink of rotten eggs. Hermione hardly ever ruined a potion, yet today she had.
She banished the disaster and then looked to him from where she sat. She looked dejected. For some time she sat there until she finally broke the silence.
"Are you mad at me?" she asked quietly.
He blinked. "Mad at you? Whatever would I be mad at you for?"
"I don't know, it's just…ever since Ron died, you have been absent a lot more. We don't talk as much. You never visit me in the evening anymore to discuss books or potions. As soon as we are done with in the lab you take off."
"Visiting you alone in your bedroom would be highly inappropriate considering the circumstances."
Hermione frowned at him. "How would it be inappropriate… " She looked at Severus and saw his pale face was quite flushed. "Oh…OH!"
They were silent for a few moments until she gathered her jumbled thoughts. Though time moved differently for Severus, he felt as if centuries had passed in the few moments it took her to figure things out.
"Do you … is that possible for Ghosts?"
He looked away. He had hoped to avoid this conversation.
He was acting very strangely. Avoiding her, blushing. Taking a deep breath she asked, "How long, Severus?"
"Too long, for something that should not be and never will be." He seemed both angry and flustered and threw his hands into the air as he started drifting away.
"Severus, stop! Don't go. Can't we talk about this?"
He spun around. "What's to talk about? You're alive and I'm a ghost. Shall we talk about what can't be? Shall I stay and hold you? We know how that ends before it even truly begins."
The fact that she was alone and that Severus had feelings for her overwhelmed her. She started to cry as things truly sunk in.
Severus felt miserable. He had succeeded in doing what no one at the wake or funeral of her husband had done. He had made her cry. Perhaps it was better that way. There was no use for both of them to get utterly attached. He would never move on but at least she could try. He could stay in the background…and watch her date and marry another man.
His heart ached so badly he felt it might burst. He fled the room, leaving her to cry alone.
Although he was in the house all the time, he made sure to keep out of her site. She called for him often and although the distance pained him, he realized the terrible thing he had done. All these years they had become friends and to wean her from him would be nearly impossible. As it was he was somehow bound to her, though neither of them understood how or why. He realized in some strange way she was also bound to him. How could she ever hope for a normal life when he was chained to her side?
She became more miserable than when her husband died. She didn't eat much, and lost weight she could not afford to lose. Her appearance did not seem to matter as much.
Rose came home for Christmas break and Severus remained hidden.
Not ten minutes after his godchild's arrival he heard a voice snarling out his name. "Severus Tobias Snape!"
Now Rose was upset with him. His existence was complete.
"Severus Tobias Snape!"
"Good grief, Rosie, you could wake the dead." He floated non-chalantly at the top of the staircase, his arms crossed. He had forgotten how easy it was to still play the cold, unfeeling Professor.
She ignored the pet name the family called her, which she disliked. "If I could, I'd wake you, you miserable bastard."
"Watch your tone, young lady."
"I won't! You foolish man!"
"Are you happy, Rose? You wanted this. You wanted her to know and now she knows. She discovered it all on her own! Some good it did either of us!"
"You allowed her to figure it out and then you took off on her! Merlin's beard, it's been over 6 months since Dad died. You coward, you've been hiding from her most of that time, hurting her! And most likely you've been hurting yourself, too!"
Half a year had passed already? Had it been that long since he and Hermione had begun this dance?
"Don't call me that, Rose Matilda Weasley. Don't you dare!"
"And why shouldn't I when you are acting like one! Did you even stop to find out how she feels about you?"
"It's best that I don't know! It's best that she let go of whatever she thinks she might feel so she can move on, find herself a companion and…" His voice broke and he fell silent.
"And what, Uncle Severus? Be miserable with a man she doesn't love?"
He clenched his teeth and looked away.
When she spoke again, Rose's voice was quiet. "I don't understand everything with your situation as a ghost, but my mum is bound to you as much as you are to her. I know that being away from each other hurts you both. While you might not be able to have a traditional relationship…you could have something. Go to her…please."
Without a word he did as she asked and went in search of Hermione.
She was sitting on her bed, gazing lost out the window. Once again he had harmed a woman he loved.
She sat and looked at him. "Oh, now you will speak to me? After all this time…Why, Severus?"
"I didn't want to hurt you. I thought by distancing myself I was only hurting me."
"You are a part of my life and you always will be. Don't you realize that?"
He floated down and sat on the bed beside her. His form so close she could feel the cold coming from him.
"A forced part of your life…Never wanted..."
She started at him for a moment, unmoving. Then she reached for him. He held still, despite knowing he would burn and she would be cold. Her hand passed through his form as he expected and she let it remain despite the bitter cold she felt. He closed his eyes, her hand reached to touch his face.
"I have always wanted you around…Despite how crazy it all sounds…I love you, too, Severus."
The world went strangely cold to him and suddenly he could feel the weight of his clothing, could feel the draft that came in through her bedroom window and more importantly, he could feel her hand on his face.
He opened his eyes. They were both too shocked to move. His form was solid; he could hear and feel his body breathing.
He reached for her hand, entwining his fingers in hers.
"Merlin, Hermione. I don't know. This is impossible."
"Is this like Cinderella. Do we have until midnight?" Hermione asked him. 'Or are we dreaming? I don't want this to be a dream, Severus. "
"Nor do I. But I have never heard of this happening. Once you become a Ghost you remain a Ghost."
"You look just like you did before you died. It's as if you haven't aged at all." She traced the angles of his jaw, brushed back his long dark hair.
Without warning she threw herself at him and he pulled her close. He could feel the heat of her body, but it no longer burned him. The sound of her heart thundering in her chest was music to his ears.
And then she was unbuttoning his shirt, tears streaming down her face as she started the task with trembling fingers. He drew back, his eyes asking the question his lips could not seem to form.
"Who knows how long this will last. We don't even know why it's happened. If we only have a few moments or just tonight, I want to be with you. I want the memory of you in me and around me." She flushed bright red as the realization of her words struck her.
Severus tenderly touched her face. Delicately as if he was afraid she might break. His robes were pushed back and the top few buttons of his black shirt were undone.
"Are you certain…so soon after?"
"It's not like you're a stranger, Severus. And it's not as if I haven't felt something for you all these years."
He watched her for a moment, seeing the genuine affection for him in her eyes.
He did not argue, but sealed the agreement with a kiss. A hard, clumsy kiss that she did not seem to mind but returned desperately.
They started removing each other's clothes as they kissed; though only breaking their kiss to breathe made the task somewhat difficult.
"Not here…" he managed to get out and she seemed to understand. Not in this bed…
She was half undressed, her bra covering one breast and not the other, pants falling down. She pulled them up only so she wouldn't trip as she dragged him with her, refusing to break their contact. She opened the door, glanced down the hall for any sign of Rose and then they bolted, like two teenagers out after curfew.
She pulled him into the guest bedroom where he pressed her against the door only seconds after it had closed behind them. She muttered a silencing charm for the room and he kissed her hard, savoring the taste of her and the feel of her that he had desired for so long. Dream or reality, tonight he would know every part of her. No matter if this was temporary or permanent, he was determined to make her his in every way.
She wrapped her arms around his neck as they continued to kiss. The door rattled on its hinges as they fumbled and bucked against it. Blindly they stumbled toward the bed, the back of his knees hitting the mattress. He fell backwards with her landing on top of him.
She could feel how badly he wanted her, his arousal was quite evident pressing into her hip. She positioned herself more comfortably and thrust up against him.
He shuddered, a long moan filling the air and ending in her mouth as she kissed him.
He resumed touching her breasts and broke their kiss, his mouth eagerly seeking to taste her. The position was difficult so he flipped her onto her back beside him, moving over her to take the swollen flesh into his mouth.
She writhed beneath him, her heart pounding in her ears, her arousal so charged she felt she'd explode at any moment. But not yet… it was too soon. Far too soon.
"Now…Severus…I need you…now."
He finished licking a circle around her nipple and then drew back forcing himself to stall things.
"Are you certain, Hermione?" He watched her eyes focus in the dark on his face.
She reached up and cupped his cheek and then ran one finger down the length of his nose. "More certain than anything."
They finished undressing quickly, and after what seemed like lifetimes he was towering nude over her equally nude form. He was quivering, anxious, sexually aroused and completely frightened.
She could tell something was wrong. She had known him long enough to know when something wasn't right.
She reached up and pushed back some of his long sweaty hair.
"What is it?" she asked quietly. It was the first time she had realized their link felt different, distant as if it was fading.
"I've never…What if I do not-"
"Sshhh. We will find the way... together."
Even though technically he was much older than her, his body was only 41 years old. Nearly the same in age to her. He had no awkward teenage body, nor was he too old to perform his erection at full attention being an indicator. But he had never had a physical relationship with anyone. What if he hurt her? What if-
"Stop thinking so much, Severus. Just do what feels natural."
Someone or something had given him a chance to be with a woman he loved not obsessively or recklessly. But a woman he simply loved.
"Show me the way…"he whispered.
For the first time that night she took him in her hands. The evil woman stroked the length of him before positioning him at her entrance.
He lowered himself slowly, taking his time in enjoying everything he was feeling. He gasped at the warmth, the wet and the pulsing. He pushed his way in further and further until he could go no more. Then he pulled back, not completely, and pushed in again.
Again and again he did this, until the slow pace became agonizing to them both. Soon he was not pushing, but plunging, the slick sound of their bodies far in the distance of his ears. Foremost was the sound of her pleasure and knowing he was responsible.
It was over far too soon. That feeling deep inside, the one that told him release was near and then it came and he was emptying his very soul into her body. As he collapsed on top of her, he realized she too had found release as she was pulsing breathlessly around him.
He pulled her close to him, half out of disbelief that this had happened and half to hide the tears streaming from his eyes.
He stayed within her, and they held each other tightly.
Sometime later, when their breathing had quieted, and the need had settled somewhat, he felt himself hardening again. He pulled out slowly and she looked up at him in question.
"Slowly this time, my love. Slowly," he told her.
And so they went, exploring every inch, learning what created a certain reaction and doing it over and over to bring the other to the edge, but not over.
After making love twice more over the next few hours, they fell exhausted into each other's arms and into sleep.
The next morning Hermione felt incredibly sore and she knew it could not have been a dream. Eyes closed, she smiled at the memories of what she and Severus had done. Then she panicked when she realized she could not feel the warmth of him next to her. She bolted upright in bed, only to find him standing nude by the window.
He turned and smiled, though she could see he was disturbed. He was still alive, but she knew he was wondering the hows and whys of his situation.
Last night they had been too caught up in exploring to care about what to do after.
She walked to him, but did not touch him.
He drew her into his arms, resting his chin on her head with a sigh. "I desired this more than anything, and now that I have it I do not understand why it was given to me."
She brushed back some of the hair hiding his face. She knew he desired to love and be loved.
"You're a good man, Severus. It is about time that you were set on the road to your happiness. We'll take the time to discover what we can about all of this, but first I'd like to explore you a bit more."
He seemed to like that idea, at least the erection nestled against her did.
He kissed her and led her toward the bed.
No answer as to why Severus had become a Ghost after Nagini bit him and why he'd been bound to Hermione and then returned to the living was ever found. It was believed by many that somehow he and Hermione were bound due to their compatibility. Both avid readers, researchers and loners. The romantics believed the bond had effects on Severus' being when Hermione admitted she returned his love.
No matter the reason for events Severus and Hermione enjoyed each and every day together.
Rose was overjoyed that her mom and Severus were courting, then engaged and finally married. While she loved and missed her father, Rose knew that it was Severus her mom was meant to spend the rest of her life with.
And that is exactly what happened.
I wrote this story a few years ago. The idea mostly came from a dream that I had and wanted to get down on paper so it would not be lost. It doesn't really follow HP ghosts or canon, but that does not matter to me. My mind just wanted an excuse to get Hermione and Severus together.
I wanted to post this as something to tide my readers over with until I'm able to get more writing done. I've just moved into my first home and have been quite busy. There hasn't been much time for writing.
This is a one shot. What happens to Hermione and Severus and why he became a Ghost bound to Hermione and then freed and returned to the land of the living to be with her is for my readers' wild imaginations to decide.
Thanks for reading!

Choosing a boat: New or used?
ArticleBuying A BoatMonday 14 April 2014
Deciding whether to buy a new or used boat is dependent upon your budget and personal needs, but there are other factors to take into account too.
Buying a new boat
A major benefit of buying a new boat is that you can choose the exact specification – layout, interior décor, colour, technology - to suit you. You'll enjoy the very latest navigation and communication systems and get value for money as a new boat is likely to be more economical with fuel than an older model.
You have the benefit of the warranty protection that comes with new purchases, and have the peace of mind that you can return to the dealer or boatyard in the future for advice, training and assistance with boat maintenance. Also, if you choose to stick with the same brand and upgrade your boat next time, you'll probably be offered a very advantageous part-exchange price on your existing model.
The negatives of buying new are that your boat will depreciate significantly in the first few years' of ownership. So if your plan is to change or upgrade your boat within 2 to 4 years, you can expect to bear the brunt of your boat's depreciation.
Generally, unlike cars, boats are not assembled by computer-driven robots and with all the benefits of precision and reliability that comes with it. New boats will have faults inadvertently built in to them, either during the assembly process or in the supply of the components that are fitted to your boat. Times do change though and this advice is only offered as a warning rather than assuming all new boats carry faults.
Saying this, when you buy a new boat you may expect to use that warranty! But the upside is that once these initial fixes are carried out, it'll all settle down and you'll have the added confidence of knowing just what good shape your boat is now in and how to look after it in the future.
Buying a used boat
With a used boat the options to customize disappear, but you can get real value – more boat for your money.
Buy a model that's 5 years old and you could be paying half the price of a new one. Even if you buy a boat that's a year old, you could expect to pay up to 20-25% less than the new price. And, provided that the boat has been used by its previous owner, all the early fixes required from when the boat was new, will have been identified and carried out by the time you make the purchase.
So you'll probably have to make some compromise on the specification of the boat that suits you best, even if it's just that the colour isn't your absolute favourite. You'll never know the full history of the boat, so you'll have to satisfy yourself that the boat you're buying is great value, is also in good condition and has been well maintained. Also you might receive a limited warranty from a Dealer or Broker that you buy from, but you'll certainly not receive a warranty from a private seller.
And unless you're lucky or you don't make a point of asking, you won't get the backup, advice and assistance during your period of ownership. This may not be a problem to you, especially if you're an experienced boater or a very practical DIY type. But if you feel you aren't adept at the practicalities of boat care, its best to have the boat checked by a surveyor to satisfy yourself that it's in good condition and has been well maintained by the previous owner.
Boat Retailers and Brokers Association
If you want to carry out more research about the boat buying process, it's worth having a look at The Boat Retailers and Brokers Association (BRBA) website. This organization represents all companies and individuals involved in the sale of new and second-hand boats.
Members of the BRBA, which includes over 200 marine businesses, include boat brokers and retailers, all of whom must adhere to the BRBA Code of Practice.
The code was enforced to heighten consumer confidence by providing a set of comprehensive regulations for brokers and retailers.
Whether you're looking at motor boats for sale, sailing yachts, fishing boats or jet skis, always ensure you take all factors into account before making the ultimate decision.

Victoria, British Columbia, Canada
'Never-say-die' attitude has become the mantra for the 2015 version of Highlander's FC. Clutched from the grasp of death earlier in the year, the group of scrappy competitors have given local supporters a taste of grassroots pluckiness that would make anyone a fan. And it's the supporters themselves who have given life to the team as well, whose unwavering support have given legs to a tired team in consecutive weekends, willing the boys to late goal heroics.
In three of the four home games, it has been late goals that have salvaged two draws and secured a win giving the Highlanders an undefeated start to the season. Sunday's last minute hero was Paddy Nelson, His goal in the 87′ rescued a 2:2 draw with FC Tigers of Vancouver.
"The supporters have been great and we really appreciate their collective voices late in the game", said head coach, David Dew. "The last minute heroics in three of the games have been partly due to their support. As a club, the never-say-die attitude comes from the fact everyone thought the Highlanders were finished at the end of January, but we were not and that mentality continues. We are not going away easily".
Tigers FC surprised the home team with new roster additions following the opening weekend in Vancouver. A full international slate of players made up the Vancouver team including ex-pats from Great Britain.
If you like last names for first names accompanied with first name for last names, then you're in luck. Cooper Barry opened the scoring early for Highlanders FC only to have Mason James tie the score for FC Tigers less than ten minutes later. The score remained knotted at 1:1 through a high paced opening half. With the game getting on, it was a 35 yard wonder 'bar-down' goal by FC Tigers' Ali Picket for a 2:1 lead in minute 73′ and set up the furious comeback by the Highlanders and heroics from Paddy Nelson to save the day.
Highlanders FC hold onto first place in league standings with 8 points realized in four games, just 2 points up on the Mid-Island Mariners who have two games on hand. "FC Tigers are a good team and shouldn't be taken lightly", confided Dew. "They will be taking points as the season rolls on".
The Highlander's 'Five Games In May' opening home-stand concludes this coming Sunday, May 17th with a 2pm kick off at Royal Athletic Park vs. Vancouver United. Four game packs or single game tickets available online at Select Your Tickets or can be purchased in cash at the gate, one hour prior to kick-off.

text: Hey guys. Just a quick question. I've noticed that since Walk Like An Egyptian by The Bangles has been released, Rock Band 2 DLC has rolled over to 4th gen. I was just wondering if a szde.wad has been released yet to counteract that? Google is telling me that it hasn't but I'd just rather make sure, as that new Nirvana pack looks pretty appealing. Thanks.

Pro Wrestler Profesionist vs Pro culturist
Technique and overall arm strength are the two greatest contributing factors to winning an arm wrestling match. Other factors such as the length of an arm wrestler's arm, his/her muscle and arm mass/density, hand grip size, wrist endurance and flexibility, reaction time, as well as countless other traits, can add to the advantages of one arm wrestler over another. John Brzenk is regarded by many as the greatest armwrestler of all time.

Clashes between Libyan rebels and supporters of ruler Moamer Kadhafi wounded at least 14 people on Sunday, including a French journalist, in the hamlet of Bin Jawad, medics said.
Doctors rushing the wounded to treatment at the oil town of Ras Lanuf further east in rebel-held territory said the rebels were ambushed by Kadhafi loyalists hiding in houses in the small hamlet of Bin Jawad.
"The militiamen were hiding inside their homes. And they ambushed them," said medic Yusuf Abdul Salam, who brought one man shot in the head to the hospital in Ras Lanuf.
A French journalist shot in the leg, but not thought to be seriously wounded, told AFP he had been driving with rebel fighters towards Bin Jawad when they were attacked.
"We were met with bullets. Two bullets hit my camera. It exploded. I was in a pick-up with the revolutionaries and we were met with bullets," he said.
An AFP correspondent saw 14 people brought into the hospital. Doctor Awad al-Quwaili had initially said nine Libyans were wounded in the clashes.
Bin Jawad was the western-most point that AFP reporters on Saturday were able to confirm a rebel presence in their struggle to overthrow Kadhafi.
"It was the Al-Ihsun tribe. They betrayed us. It was grand treason. They betrayed us for money," Saleh, a medic, told AFP.

HOLLAND and Belgium banned imports of British pigs yesterday to prevent the spread of classical swine fever from English farms to the Continent.
The disease threatens exports of pork, bacon and ham, which were worth about £160 million last year. There were unconfirmed reports that Spain had also banned imports of live pigs used for breeding, and at least one shipment of British pigs had been turned away from a ferry port in France. No countries have banned imports of British pig meat.
Mike Sheldon, the chief executive of the British Pig Association, said of the move: "We don't blame them at all for taking this precaution. We took the same action in this country when swine fever broke out over there."
Belgium called on Brussels to summon a special meeting of veterinary experts to consider Europe-wide action. Philippe de Jaegere, spokesman for Belgium's agriculture ministry, said its ban was "just a precautionary measure while the situation is cleared up".
Yesterday the Ministry of Agriculture launched a "precautionary" cull of about 4,000 pigs on three more farms with connections to the three holdings in Norfolk, Suffolk and Essex already known to have the disease.

Fitness trackers: Are they really necessary? Some say, 'not so much'
Calgary bureau reporter
Friday, August 1, 2014, 11:25 AM
Digital health – have you heard of it? It's the new health craze, fitness fad, latest technological "thing" to hit the health industry. There's a variety of apps, devices and services offered to those who:
1.Are already fit and want to track/monitor their fitness levels,
2.Need a serious kick in the a@# (like me) to get moving and get motivated,
3.Fall somewhere in between the two previously noted extremes.
Me? I've got a Fitbit – a wearable fitness tracking device that's housed in a bracelet you wear 24/7.
I bought it knowing I needed to improve my overall health and fitness and the Fitbit seemed like a great option. It tracks your caloric intake, your sleep patterns, and how many steps you take per day. Perfect! I don't always make healthy choices, sleep can be hit or miss and well, I simply need to be more active.
Want to lose weight (yes please!!!), well then, the Fitbit can help you reach your weight goals. By tracking the number of calories you can consume per day and based on how active you are and how quickly (or slowly) you want to take off those extra pounds. All this information goes directly to an online profile (there's an app for it too) that allows you to easily track your progress AND lets you build your own online community of supporters (or jeerers) that will help motivate you (especially if you're the competitive type) to keep to your goals or even surpass them.
RELATED: How to not blow your diet during long weekends
Sounds like perfect health and a fit body are just around the corner, right? Hmmmm, not so fast.
While the Fitbit does deliver on all the components discussed above, there is one key factor between success and well, leaving it on your nightstand to collect dust. You.
Without you keying in every morsel of food that goes into your mouth, without you remembering to activate the sleep tracking component, without you remembering to put the bloody thing back on after you get out of the shower, well, it doesn't really do a whole lot for you.
In the beginning, I was fairly diligent on all fronts but slowly started dropping them one by one. It started with me forgetting to set the sleep tracker and was then quickly followed by getting exasperated by trying to remember exactly everything I had eaten that day – if I didn't put it into the app on my phone, it was usually forgotten. As time wore on, I would eventually forget to even put the damn thing on after showering in the morning. I'm usually out of the house for a minimum of 10-12 hours every day so there's a full day of potential fitness tracking gone. My community of "friends" is supposed to provide continued support and motivation, to "keep on trucking" (as they say) but instead, but instead I ran out of fuel. Not even the "taunting" feature used by my 8-year-old nephew Jack could motivate me to put my bracelet back on and get moving.
SEE ALSO: Can these foods actually boost brain health?
The thing is, my experience with a fitness tracker really isn't all that rare – I'm more the rule than the exception. A study back in April by Endeavour Partners, revealed that, "while 1 in 10 American adults own some form of activity tracker, half of them no longer use it. Even more to the point, one-third of American consumers who have owned a wearable product stopped using it within six months."
You see, I'm not the only sloth out there (well, maybe in Canada, but not in the US where the study was conducted). Really, what I'm trying to say is that this new digital health craze fails to address the key behind the success of any diet, fitness regime, or permanent health adjustment. That is, (again this is borrowed from the Endeavour report), "most of these devices fail to drive long-term sustained engagement for a majority of users." Or as I like to call it, motivation.
So since the Fitbit hasn't really been working for me (or rather me working for it) I'm seriously considering a personal trainer. I figure if I can't motivate myself to get into better shape, who better than some Drill Sergeant-type to do it for me?!!
Stay tuned….

Federated Farmers chief executive Conor English will leave the rural lobby organisation in July.
In a statement yesterday, Mr English, who has been in the position for nearly six years, said it was time to ''move on and do other things''.
''There are many opportunities out there that I would now like to pursue,'' he said in the statement.
It had been a ''great privilege'' to lead the organisation and to serve farmers and the rural community, he said.
Federated Farmers president Bruce Wills said Mr English's resignation had been reluctantly accepted.
Mr English had achieved a lot and his energy, talent, skill and experience would be missed, Mr Wills said.

PCIe 4.0 Heads to Fab, 5.0 to Lab
2 comments
SANTA CLARA, Calif. – A handful of chips using PCI Express 4.0 are heading to the fab even though the 16G transfers/second specification won't be final until early next year. Once it gets all the details sorted out, the PCI Special Interest Group (PCI SIG) aims to start work in earnest on a 5.0 follow on running at either 25 or 32GT/s.
Cadence, PLDA and Synopsys demoed PCIe 4.0 physical-layer, controller, switch and other IP blocks at the PCI SIG's annual developer's conference here. They showed working chips, boards and backplanes that included a 100 Gbit/s Infiniband switch chip using PCIe 4.0.
It's been more than six years since the PCI SIG ratified its last major standard, the 8 GT/s PCIe 3.0. At the time it started the 4.0 version it thought it might be its last copper-based chip-to-chip interconnect. But since then Ethernet and Fiber Channel groups have pushed copper networking to 25 and 32 Gbits/s respectively.
"We know we can take PCIe to the next generation, we just have to work out the details," said Al Yanes, president of the PCI SIG in a press conference at the group's annual developer's conference here.
The questions about version 5.0 are many. They include determining if it will be backward compatible and still defined as a chip-to-chip link as all PCI standards have been to date.
"We can't play the encoding trick," said Yanes noting the version 3.0 adopted 128b/130b encoding up from 8b/10b previously used. "Using 256 coding won't get you much more, so I don't see many tricks besides increasing frequency" he added.
Demand will come from the usual suspects. Networking cards already hitting 100 Gbit/s rates will need faster chip links as will next-generation graphics processors and solid-state drives.
It's not easy creating a standard used in everything from smartphones to supercomputers for a member base of 732 companies. As data rates increased and signal margins narrowed, the time between new PCIe versions lengthened from three to seven years so far.

Cover Letter Enclosing Employment and Salary History
Employment and Salary History
Many of the postings ask you for the cover letter enclosing employment and salary history. There may be several reasons behind asking for the cover letter. Your cover letter with salary history mostly decides your salary so you should be very much careful when writing this type of cover letter.
A salary history is the history of the salary of the candidate of their previous job. Most of the employers ask for the candidate's salary history when applying for the job. The salary history is based on many factors such as the previous experience, industry, and cost of living.
Tips for Writing Cover Letter
When you have been asked for the cover letter enclosing employment and salary history then you should include a range of salary rather than mentioning a specific amount. This will give some compensation when you will be discussing the salary of your new job offer. Always be honest when writing about your employment and salary history in the cover letter because the employer can check your salary history with your previous employers. If you include any wrong information then your name will be removed from the application. You can also write your salary requirement in the cover letter so that the employer knows about your requirements and demands.
Cover letters are very important as it is the first impression on the employers. So, always write an effective cover letter as a poorly written cover letter can throw your resume to trash.

Looks great. When I thin my broccoli and cauliflower seedlings (which I did just yesterday), I replant them in any spare spaces I have. I don't like wasting them. I wait till they are a good size, about 4 in or more. Just be careful to handle them from the leaves not the stem and try not to disturb the roots of the other seedlings too much. Push a stick or small hand tool down into the soil to get underneath the seedlings to come up. Give the transplanted seedlings a really good, gentle water. It's worth trying as you have the plants anyway and you will know within the week whether they have transplanted successfully or not.

Oh, now I get it!! You are using those red supports for the plants in order to be visible from space when google comes flying! It looks very promising and I look forward to the exciting event of growing. I am growing beens again this year, perhaps cucumber, we'll see. Mostly I end up with the most stunning weeds in the neighbourhood, but hey, someone has got to take them on!! The good Lord told us to be alert of the weeds so I am practising hard!! Blessings to you!!!

That eggplant has such pretty leaves and blooms - as pretty as an ornamental. Everything looks so healthy and is really growing well. Some great meals coming up!
A tip: I can identify my beet seedlings by their red stalks - they are red even at that early stage.
It was such a gorgeous, sunny, not-windy day - it was heavenly to spend time in the garden today.

Thanks!! Yay for fresh strawberries!! And I hope we have some more blooms soon. Though we're supposed to have 40's this week. Hope that doesn't set anything back.

Thank you. I could snack on them as I thin them! ;-)

Thank you for that. Yes, the straw on top of the beds and the quality landscape fabric on the ground has made ALL the difference in the world. It's helping me keep the garden more self sufficient.
- April 3, 2017 at 8:38 PM
- 1st Man said...
What a great idea. I love that, it does seem sort of wasteful. Though I'd really like to snack on a few too. I'll let them get a bit bigger and see what I can do.

LOL that made me laugh. Thank you!!! We almost did beans but I ran out of time, ha. Stay tuned. And many blessing back to you!!! Thank you always for your kind comments!

Definitely Jimmy!!! In fact, this Wednesday I'll have.a recipe that 2nd Man makes with veggies thats a sort of ratatouille. It's one reason we planted the plants we did because we love it so much, ha.

You'll be there soon!! And like I said further up, when we're 100 degrees and dying and nothing will grow, you'll be having great results, ha.

Thank you. We're so pleased with how it's all coming along from last season to this. Thanks again!

Doesn't it? The flower is beautiful. Okra flowers are beautiful too. Thanks for the beet seedlings tip! I'll look this coming weekend.
Oh my wasn't the weather glorious!!! Wow, I was at work what I wouldn't have given to have been outside in the yard.

1st Man,
I hope you and 2nd Man are well and were not affected by all the storms. I'm just now getting internet at the country home/farm.
Love your garden beds, the vegetables are coming along nicely......I'm going to live through you vicariously.....because I have no garden as of yet. Still unpacking,and preparing for installing rain gutters,and leveling areas of land.
- April 4, 2017 at 7:52 AM
- 1st Man said...
Yep, they skirted around both he farm and in town. Though a week ago, Houston had 5 recorded tornado touchdowns. Scary times.
Thank you much and I can't wait to see what y'all come up with!!! Hugs to you!

Q: My rabbit hurt his eye somehow. What should I do? Are there any pain killers I can give him to help relieve his pain or something?
A: There are no safe pain medications for people that you may have at home that you can give your rabbit. You can use cool compresses if there is swelling and you think this condition is due to trauma. But, of course, the best answer is to either go to your veterinarian or an emergency veterinary hospital to determine what is wrong with your rabbit's eye.
The structures of the eye are very complicated. Trauma and infection can cause damage, sometimes permanent, to these structures; the sooner they are treated, the better the chance that any damage to your rabbit's eye is not permanent.
