monkeys arse. - The wreck can be a pretty decent surf spot, but only when its pumping. Main beach tends to draw in back packers who have just scored themselves a board and walk to the beach thinking they can paddle out anywhere. Consequently it can get pretty packed and tempers can flare up real quick. The Pass is the same, super nice break (when there's swell)but generally too busy on a weekend. In my opinion tallows/broken head (Cape Byron headland) is a great surf spot, it can get pretty gnarley and it's definately not for beginners, so at least there arn't any back packers cramming the line up. If your'e prepared for a little drive then Lennox heads is definately the way forward. Some awsome breaks (and cool locals)

New Hillsborough Auditor Apologizes for angry memo
06/06/07 Mitch E. PerryWMNF Drive-Time News Wednesday | Listen to this entire show:
Hillsborough County's new internal performance auditor issued a series of 'mea culpas' this morning regarding a memo he sent out last week that criticized his hiring process and also include a request for a salary raise.
Jim Barnes sent out a memo to County Attorney Renee Lee and the County's Human Resource Manager, accusing them of withholding information and not acting in good faith during his hiring.
The issue was brought up this morning by County Commissioner Kevin White, who said that though he's only been on the Board for about 6 months, he had never seen County staff 'degraded' by a fellow employee…..He then summarized what he believed were Barnes' complaints White then asked Barnes if maybe he just wanted to quit his job as internal performance auditor That prompted Barnes to address the Board – and the apologies began flowing
He then apologized to the Commision
And he said that contrary to the part of the memo where he recommended his salary be raised from $106,800 to $125,000, He really does NOT want a salary increase (
For the most part, the County Commission was accepting of Barnes' apologies. Commissioner Brian Blair said actually something positive might evolve out of Barnes rant , and he questioned the County's Human Resources Director as to why Barnes is being paid at the lowest level of his pay scale (roll tape#6 o.q.â€best resume I've ever seen in my lifeâ€)
Some Commissioners also thought that thought that the timing of Barnes idea of reorganizing the Internal Performance Auditor's office is perhaps not the best, as the Commission is coping with potentially major budget cuts.
Commmissioner Rose Ferlita told Barnes that at times, she's been known for speaking directly – perhaps, too directly….However
Barnes thanked the Board for their vote of confidence in him, and said he'd continue to work at a level 'beyond 150%â€.

In the late 1960s, a new music craze hit the scene. English lyrics and a unique fusion of rhythm and blues with Cuban stylings helped the boogaloo quickly capture the attention of audiences across the country. And though Boogaloo—the restaurant—isn't known for its music, it's not hard to see the logic behind its name. Just as the fusion of musical styles engaged listeners, Chef Dan Powers engrosses diners with his menu of Cuban specialties laced with Caribbean and creole elements.
Pressed Cuban sandwiches layered with pork, ham, and swiss cheese vie for attention with Jamaican jerk chicken—smoked in-house—and shrimp po' boys buried in housemade rémoulade. Elegantly plated tapas, such as crispy crab empanadas and Jamaican beef patties, make for lighter, shareable meals.
Those who want to forgo food in favor of specialty cocktails can grab a mojito or glass of sangria and race to one of the bar's popular swing seats, so named because of their refusal to vote predictably.

Throughout September more than 8,700 restaurants around the country, including seven in Butler and Warren counties, are helping to end child hunger.
The participating restaurants are offering donations through customer purchases to No Kid Hungry's Share Our Strength campaign.
This campaign raised $6 million dollars last year to help U.S. children suffering from hunger. This year's goal is to raise $10 million.
"So often in the United States, we focus on the rest of the world, while children in our own backyards don't have enough to eat," said Bruce Worth, general manager of Brazenhead Irish Pub, located at 5650 Tylersville Road in Mason.
The restaurant and bar, in partnership with food distributor Sysco, is sponsoring a 5K run/walk at 9 a.m. Sept. 22 at Pine Hill Lakes Park in Mason. Register at www.sprunning.com by Sept. 17 for $25, or starting at 7:30 a.m. the day of the race for $30.
Participants in the 5K will receive a free No Kid Hungry T-shirt, breakfast buffet and pint of Guinness (if older than 21) at Brazenhead following the race, where there will be live music until 1 p.m. All proceeds benefit No Kid Hungry with the goal of raising $10,000.
"We want to have the most impact as possible," Worth said.
Mellow Mushroom, 9238 Floer Drive, West Chester Twp., will also be participating in this year's No Kid Hungry campaign. For each bruschetta appetizer purchased this month, the restaurant will donate $1 to No Kid Hungry.
Those who donate $10 online at nokidhungry.org/mellowmushroom will receive a free hoagie, bag of chips and drink, and those who donate $20, will receive the free meal and a Mellow Mushroom T-shirt. The company, as a whole, hopes to raise $100,000.
"We've gotten involved with this charity from the get-go and plan to do it every year, and make it bigger every year," said Tony Muccino, Mellow Mushroom manager.
Other local participants include:
There are more than 40 restaurants in the greater Cincinnati area participating in the campaign. To locate a participating restaurant, visit dineout.nokidhungry.org/maps.

The net position is a forecast of New Zealand's greenhouse gas emissions over the first commitment period of the Kyoto Protocol. It is reported as a surplus if New Zealand's net emissions are projected to be below our commitment under the Kyoto Protocol and as a deficit if emissions are projected to be above the commitment. The number, in millions of units, refers to the number of Kyoto Units that New Zealand will have to spare (surplus), or need to purchase (deficit) to meet our obligations under the Kyoto Protocol.
The latest projection of New Zealand's net position under the Kyoto Protocol is a surplus of 73.9 million units. New Zealand's Kyoto Protocol financial position is NZ$62.7 million. This uses the exchange rate as at October 2013 and an international carbon price of Euro 0.51 per tonne. The increase in the net position since the May update is due to the surrender under the NZ ETS of international units.
The Ministry updates the net position twice a year – once in April to include the latest estimates of emissions, and again in August to include additional Kyoto Units surrendered through the NZ ETS. There are, however, monthly changes to the net position due to transfers to and from New Zealand's assigned amount from trading in emission units.
Financial Statements Period Ended | Net position in million units | Carbon Price in Euro | Exchange Rate NZ$ buys Euros | Carbon Price in NZ$ | Value of the Net Asset/(Liability) in NZ$m |
October 2013 | 73.9 | 0.51 | 0.60090 | 0.85 | 63 |
September 2013 | 71.9 | 0.61 | 0.61265 | 1.00 | 72 |
August 2013 | 67.2 | 0.58 | 0.58645 | 0.99 | 67 |
July 2013 | 64.0 | 0.56 | 0.60165 | 0.93 | 60 |
June 2013 | 64.0 | 0.49 | 0.5963 | 0.82 | 53 |
May 2013 | 29.0 | 0.41 | 0.62005 | 0.66 | 19 |
April 2013 | 29.1 | 0.01 | 0.65300 | 0.02 | 0 |
Note: Transfers of units from the Government account are now set out in Table 2.
The net position is calculated as the difference between the emission units New Zealand will have available (assigned amount units (AAUs), forecast forestry removal units, and other Kyoto Units) and forecast total emissions over 2008–2012. Because New Zealand's assigned amount units are fixed, a small forecast change in either total emissions or in forestry removals, can have a large effect on the size of the net position.
Figure 1 sets out this equation graphically.
Read a description of this figure
Figure 1 graphically represents the compliance equation for the Kyoto Protocol. To comply with the Kyoto Protocol New Zealand must surrender units equal to its emissions over 2008–2012. Kyoto Units include Assigned Amount Units, removal units from article 3.3 forests and Kyoto flexibility units generated or purchased by New Zealand (Certified Emission Reductions and Emission Reduction Units). Kyoto Units surrendered under the New Zealand Emissions Trading Scheme (NZ ETS) can also be used by the Government to meet its Kyoto commitment and are included when calculating the net position.
New Zealand's commitment under the Kyoto Protocol is to return emissions to 1990 levels on average over the commitment period (2008 – 2012) or otherwise take responsibility for the excess.
The Kyoto Protocol works like an international emissions trading scheme. New Zealand received emission units (assigned amount units – AAUs) equal to our target level, and we must surrender units equal to our total emissions over the period. If our emissions are below our target we will have a surplus of emission units to sell. Conversely, if our emissions are over the target, we will have to buy emission units to cover the deficit.
The following table shows a breakdown of emissions for each sector. Emissions for 2008–2010 are taken from the National Greenhouse Gas inventory. Emissions for 2011 and 2012 are projected. For further information see the reports on each sector, accessible via the links at the right-hand side of this page.

Note: Forestry figures in this table refer to net emissions and removals under Article 3.3 of the Kyoto Protocol. Positive numbers refer to emissions of greenhouse gases, and negative numbers refer to removals/sequestration of greenhouse gases. Note that all numbers have been rounded to one decimal place. Estimates of net removals for 2008–2011 here are different to those presented in New Zealand's Greenhouse Gas Inventory: 199 –2011. These differences are explained below.
The 2013 net position projection is a surplus of 29.6 million units at the end of the first commitment period of the Kyoto Protocol (CP1). This is 5.8 million units lower than the net position projected in August 2012 (35.4 million units).
The net position surplus has dropped due to a likely increase in deforestation (+7.9 Mt CO2-e). This has been offset slightly as provisional data shows that energy emissions were lower in 2012 than projected last year (–1.9 Mt CO2-e).
Emissions from deforestation over CP1 are now projected to be 14.3 Mt CO2-e, 7.9 Mt CO2-e higher than projected in 2012. This is due to a combination of very low carbon prices and favourable prices for dairy products. World carbon prices have fallen from NZ$13 per tonne CO2-e in late 2011 to NZ$0.19 per tonne in January 2013. This has made conversion of pre-1990 planted forest to other land uses more economically viable. In late 2012, the Ministry for Primary Industries (MPI) conducted the annual survey of forest owners' intentions to deforest (the Deforestation Intentions Survey). The latest survey reports that forest owners intend to deforest 32,000 hectares of planted production forest over CP1, up from the intended 13,000 hectares reported at the end of 2011.
Historically however, actual deforestation as measured in the national greenhouse gas inventory has been less than that forecast in the Deforestation Intentions Survey. This is because while foresters may intend to deforest an area, not all land that foresters intend to deforest is actually deforested. Only land confirmed as deforested in the 2014 inventory submission will be accounted for under CP1 of the Kyoto Protocol.
Using the survey data and data from the inventory, the Ministries for the Environment (MfE) and for Primary Industries (MPI) project that total deforestation over CP1 is likely to be around 26,000 hectares. More information on projected deforestation can be found in the 2013 LULUCF net position report.
Energy emissions over CP1 are now estimated to be 159.9 Mt CO2-e, 1.9 Mt CO2-e lower than projected in 2012. The main reason for the drop in energy emissions from the 2012 net position was revisions due to actual (but still provisional) data being available for the 2012 calendar year. Emissions from transport and electricity generation were both much lower than was projected in the 2012 net position.
The following table sets out the detailed changes in the net position since the last major update in August 2012. More detail on the reasons for these changes can be found in the sector reports linked to at the right-hand side of this page.
(1) The current and projected assigned amount balance is adjusted monthly for transfers of emission units.
Note: that all numbers have been rounded to one decimal place so some values may not add due to rounding.
The net position includes data from the New Zealand Greenhouse Gas Inventory up to the latest inventory year, and includes projections of emissions for the remaining years to 2012. Each year, an additional year of projected data is replaced with inventory data.
The net position is compiled using projections of emissions produced by different agencies:
The Ministry for the Environment leads the net position update across government to ensure internal consistency of projections, to project manage the update and to report the Kyoto Financial Position.
The models and methodologies used to project emissions are set out or referenced in the emissions reports for each sector. Links to these reports are at the right-hand side of this page.
The Kyoto Financial Position is the asset or liability that sits on the Government's financial accounts as a result of the Kyoto Protocol. It is calculated by taking the net position (measured in Kyoto Units), and converting it into dollars using the current trading price for emissions units and the current exchange rate. This asset or liability must be reported in the Government's financial accounts. It also takes account of Kyoto Units that have been received by the Government under the NZ ETS or transferred out of the Government account.
Total emissions are projected to be 363.5 million tonnes over 2008–2012. The models used to project emissions indicate that total emissions (excluding Land Use, Land-use Change and Forestry) could be as low as 332.9 million tonnes (–8.4 per cent), or as high as 408.6 million tonnes (+12.4 per cent).
The uncertainty does not include possible changes in emissions due to new scientific developments or revised methodologies for measuring emissions. Research is ongoing to improve these methodologies. Methodological improvements are used to recalculate emissions from all years since 1990 and can therefore bring about a step change in our estimate of total emissions.
Removals from forestry are projected to be 77.2 million tonnes over 2008–2012. Removals could be as high as 90.8 million tonnes (+17.6 per cent) or as low as 63.3 million tonnes (–18.0 per cent). The three main sources of uncertainty in net removals are:
Changes to the rate of afforestation have a very small effect on removals from forestry, as trees planted today will absorb a very small amount of carbon dioxide before the end of the commitment period in 2012. Refinements to the mapped area and sequestration rates have historically changed the best estimate of removals by under 10 per cent.
The largest source of uncertainty is in the amount of deforestation that will occur over 2008–2012. One of the reasons deforestation is so uncertain is that landowners who clear forest on their land have four years to replant it before the land is deemed to be deforested (unless decided earlier by the landowner).
If land is replanted, it is deemed to have been harvested and does not need to be accounted for as deforestation under the Kyoto Protocol. If land is not replanted it is deemed to be deforested and this incurs a liability for the Government under the Kyoto Protocol.
The latest survey of deforestation intentions can be found on the Ministry of Primary Industries' website.
The national inventory report (1990–2011). The deforestation estimates included in the inventory are based on historical deforestation. This meets international reporting guidelines for Kyoto accounting under the first commitment period. The deforestation estimates do not necessarily account for those areas harvested but awaiting a decision by the landowner to replant or convert to another land use. As such the estimates included in the inventory are likely to increase once the final mapping is completed in 2013.
The 2012 Deforestation Intentions Survey report. The Ministry for Primary Industries has commissioned annual Deforestation Intentions Surveys since 2005. The 2012 Deforestation Intentions Survey is based on current intentions to deforest. These reflect forest owners' perceptions about land-use economics, land prices, government policy, emission unit prices and other factors as they exist today. As such there is considerable uncertainty about the levels of future deforestation. The survey report is the only information source used to estimate future deforestation in New Zealand and is used to assist with projecting New Zealand's likely balance of emission units over CP1 (the net position).
The 2013 net position report (2008–2012). The net position projection is intended to reflect the emissions and removals that New Zealand will account for under the Kyoto Protocol in the 2014 inventory. The latest greenhouse gas inventory includes only confirmed deforestation. Land that has been cleared of forest but is awaiting a decision from the land-owner to replant or convert to another land use is not included. Therefore the amount of deforestation New Zealand will account for under the Kyoto Protocol is likely to be higher than the amount currently confirmed in the latest inventory.
The 2012 Deforestation Intentions Survey reflects landowners' intentions to deforest. However, not all the land that foresters intend to deforest is always deforested. The deforestation survey represents a likely upper bound on the final amount of deforestation in New Zealand. To reflect this, the low range in the 2013 net position report is sourced from the inventory, the high range from the deforestation intention survey and the mid range (the 'most likely' scenario) is the average of the two.
The projection of the net position changes for several reasons. It will change as:
The balance of units may also change over time as Kyoto Units enter or leave the government account, for example, when international Kyoto Units are surrendered by participants in the NZ ETS, these units are added to the net position.
The net position is a forecast of how far New Zealand will be over or under its Kyoto target. The Crown's position under the NZ ETS will be different depending on how many units the Government will receive, and allocate, under the NZ ETS. This will depend on the dates sectors enter the scheme, and the timing for allocation of emission units.
The NZ ETS changes the Government's expected flows of emission units. The net position might be in surplus, but the Government's position could be in deficit if it allocates more units to NZ ETS participants than it receives.
The estimate of the carbon price is €0.61 per tonne CO2-e. The Ministry of the Environment has been responsible for estimating the carbon price since June 2010. Previously, the Treasury was responsible for estimating the trading price of carbon. Earlier updates of the carbon price may be found at 'Historic updates of the Kyoto protocol financial information'.
The Ministry for the Environment is responsible for ensuring that the methodology used to value the Kyoto asset or liability is appropriate given current trading conditions and rules.
The current trading price of carbon is estimated from trades in registered secondary Certified Emissions Reduction units (CERs) as reported by Point Carbon. This valuation approach is based on a methodology provided by Point Carbon that indicates that it is unlikely NZ AAUs can be priced higher than CERs.
Between October 2011 and August 2012, the price of AAUs was estimated for the Ministry by PointCarbon twice a year. The full time-series of updates to the carbon price may be found at 'Historic updates of the Kyoto protocol financial information'.
Prior to June 2010, the Treasury was responsible for estimating the trading price of carbon. Earlier updates of the carbon price may be found at 'Historic updates of the Kyoto protocol financial information'.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. - Members of Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin's Blue Ribbon Highways Commission aren't sure where they can find the money needed to repair state roads and bridges, but a significant portion likely will come from taxpayers' wallets.
West Virginia needs more than a half-billion dollars in yearly road funding just to maintain current conditions, according to a recently completed study by the engineering firm CDM Smith.
The state would need nearly $850 million more in yearly funding if the Division of Highways hopes to bring its roadways into full compliance.
The commission is expected to deliver its final report to Tomblin by July 1, including recommendations on ways to improve the state's infrastructure and ways to fund those improvements.
Commission members met on Tuesday to approve a list of potential tax increases and other ideas to increase road funding. Over the next month, the group will hold community meetings throughout the state to pitch these ideas to state residents.
Members do not expect it will be an easy sell.
"We've got to come up with the money some place, and the public is the only place that can cough the money up," said commission member Jan Vineyard, president of the state Oil Marketers and Grocers Association. "We're going to have to do one heck of a job to get people to say 'I'm going to re-elect Sen. Plymale and Sen. Beach even though they raised my taxes.'"
Sen. Bob Plymale, D-Wayne, and Sen. Bob Beach, D-Monongalia, are members of the commission.
Vineyard said members of the public would not accept tax increases unless they believe their money is actually being used to improve roads. She said state government must take a financial hit, too.
"It's got to be an approach where everybody feels some of that pain," she said.
The state currently budgets $709.3 million per year for construction and maintenance of its bridges and roads. But according to CDM Smith's study, West Virginia will need an additional $672.6 million per year in infrastructure spending just to maintain current conditions.

OMAK, Wash. (AP) — A plywood mill in Omak, Wash., is restarting operations this summer after closing down in 2009 when the recession hit the construction industry.
The Wenatchee World reports (http://is.gd/cjfQLB ) the Colville Indian Plywood and Veneer plant plans to hire 100 mill workers when it restarts. Eventually about 200 workers will operate the mill, located in the north-central Washington county of Okanogan. The company laid about 230 workers in 2009.
Wood Resources, a subsidiary of the Greenwich, Conn.-based Atlas Holdings, has signed a 25-year lease with the Colville Tribe. The company has owned and operated Olympic Panel, a plywood mill in Shelton, Wash., for 10 years.
Colville Tribal Chairman John Sirois says the partnership with a private plywood manufacturer will enable the Colville Tribes to restart timber operations on tribally-owned forestland.

The rise in popularity of Oriental furniture
During a meeting with a magazine journalist the other day, I was asked which style out of our six collections was my favourite? No one had ever asked me this before (and it's actually a very good question), but I must admit it didn't take me long to respond!
I should have said that I like all our products equally (which is half-true!) but anyone who knows me or has been to my house, knows that I have a soft (or strong) spot for Oriental decor – so as you can imagine my answer was Memoirs of a Geisha (closely followed by Arabian Nights though…).
For those who are new to Coco Målé, our Memoirs of a Geisha range features a great selection of Oriental furniture, including Oriental cabinets, trunks, dining room tables, beds and more, as well as Oriental decorative items such as Oriental lamps, silk table runners, Shoji screens and chinese tea sets. Check out the whole collection here.
Anyway, I digress… Asian décor is not only loved by myself it seems, but is extremely popular across the whole of the West these days; in fact, so much so that the whole of Hall 1 at the Maison & Objet exhibition in Paris (more about the exhibition to come in a separate post) had more oriental furniture and decorative items than anything else this year!
Oriental trunks, chests and jewellery boxes@ Maison & Objet
Chinese tea set display @ Maison & Objet
I guess it's partly because Oriental design brings an exotic, authentic touch?
But the rise in its popularity must also be due to the fact that both Oriental furniture and accessories have been contemporised/ westernised and scaled down from a few year's ago. Without losing their uniqueness and antique, rustic look, Oriental furniture has become less ornate and much more sophisticated and elegant, blending perfectly into today's lifestyle, whilst home accessories now have just small touches of Oriental influence, for example just a bit of symbolism or dragon designs here and there, instead of being covered in them from top to bottom.

Whoohoo! Since we operate an Chinese antique restoration facility here in Beijing, I suppose that's music to my ears. I suppose I would agree with you in saying oriental design DOES brings an exotic, authentic touch into the home.

1. Chapter 1 - Two Black Arrows
Over the years, Aragorn had fearlessly gone toe to toe with the enemy and had on occasion spoken about some of his more memorable encounters if prompted enough.
However, he had never imagined a time when he would be lying partially pinned under said toes and the huge troll's foot they belonged to as was the case this day while he fought before Mordor's Black Gates.
As for his speaking, if ever about this embarrassing predicament he knew he would have to end it quickly.
Then he spied Legolas taking aim at the troll's head despite having one black orc arrow embedded in the front of his right shoulder and another in his chest the latter perilously close to his heart.
Now desperate to free himself for his friend's sake, Aragorn swiftly removed his curved bladed knife and tried to sink it deep into the tough and wart covered skin on top of the troll's foot.
At the same time, Legolas had fired his arrow the result leading to a now dead troll with an arrow through its brain via one eye socket. This in turn slowly toppled the creature over backward during which freed Aragorn and allowed him to scramble out of the way first on hands and knees and then on his feet.
Suddenly strong tremors shook the ground and a chaotic retreat broke out amongst the Mordor horde while Sauron's tower crumbled into ruin, as did the gates before they fell into the huge fissures opening under them.
Minutes later Mount Doom exploded and the earlier cheers for Frodo that had risen as the tower crumbled ceased in an instant when they realized the brave hobbit could not possibly survive such a fiery cataclysm.
In the meantime, Aragorn ignored the overwhelming and compelling nature to stand and watch all of this destruction and to think what it meant for Frodo and Sam while he ran over to Legolas.
"I've got you," he said to the elf as he slipped one arm around his friend's waist in order to help support the weakening elf who had been trying to sidestep the cracking ground next to him.
"Save yourself…it is over for me," Legolas whispered back his breathing akin to a gasping fish out of water due to the intense pain keeping him from drawing in a normal amount of air.
"No it is not!" Aragorn firmly asserted before he guided his friend to stable ground well away from the growing canyon. By then Legolas' legs gave out on him, which forced the man to cut the leather quiver straps so he could remove it before he gently lowered the elf down onto his back since the two arrows prevented him from carrying his friend over his shoulders.
"Aragorn…behind you…" the elf suddenly warned.
Quickly the man got to his feet and turned with sword held at the ready. However, the fast approaching orcs twenty in all only had escape on their minds and continued past the two friends as if they were not there at all which gave the encounter a surreal quality despite the seriousness of it.
"Leave me now…it is not safe…"
"Legolas I am not about to do that!" Aragorn argued back while he scanned the battlefield for help. When he spied Gandalf, he waved his sword until it caught the wizard's attention. After that, he slipped it back into its scabbard before he knelt along side the elf.
"Save your strength my friend. This is one argument you are not going to win," the man, pleaded while he made quick work at unhooking the belt that held the elf's leather jerkin closed. The fact that much blood had already made its way out onto it from around the arrow shafts gave him a good idea of the worst-case scenario lying under it.
Then he used his knife to cut slits in the jerkin so he could fold it back without disturbing the arrows. This revealed the jerkin's blood soaked inner lining as well as a larger area of red under it since the elf's blue silk tunic was quicker to absorb it.
Exactly what he thought would be there and for the first time Aragorn began to feel in the pit of his stomach the sick feeling he might not be able to stop what the two-orc arrows had started.
When he next glanced at Legolas' pale face he saw, the elf had closed his eyes and the man hoped that meant his stubborn friend had finally decided to do as told although previous experience did not guarantee it just yet.
"What can we do to help?" a concerned Gandalf asked a few seconds later after he, Gimli, Merry, Pippin, and Éomer had gathered around. Behind them, a ring of men formed to protect from the fleeing enemy just in case they decided to attack instead.
"Ideally I should remove those arrows now but the continuing threats from the death throes of Mordor make it impossible for him to stay immobile afterwards. This means I need a litter of some sort to carry him back to the safety amongst the same trees where we hid the supply wagons."
"Spears lashed together to create the thickness of litter poles with the army's banners stretched between might work," Éomer suggested thoughtfully.
"I'm willing to give anything a try right now," Aragorn encouraged.
With so many willing hands available, the construction of Éomer's litter idea only took a small amount of time to create during which Aragorn carefully closed the jerkin around the arrows.
"I will look after the Laddie's weapons," Gimli offered solemnly while he picked up the up until now the neglected quiver and bow.
This earned the dwarf a slow appearing smile of approval from Legolas, which quickly vanished when Aragorn, Éomer, and several men gently lifted up, and then placed the elf onto the litter.
"Soon my friend I will be able to ease that for you," Aragorn promised while he met Legolas' gaze. Then he took his friend's hand in his as a way to comfort him through the additional pain the movement had caused. The fact he had uttered no other sound except for louder gasps was a testament to the elf's toughness, which the man hoped, would still be in existence when the time came to remove the arrows.
When Legolas' breathing quieted, somewhat Aragorn took that as a sign the pain had lessen enough for the litter bearers to lift him up slowly and carefully together.
Fortunately, this did not further the elf's current level of pain and despite some ominous creaking from the lashed together spears and a brief sound of ripping fabric, the litter continued to hold together.
Then the march to the wagons began.
