6.59 Gambhir has the strike. Southee to open up. ON ON
6.50 pm: Mails are pouring in on the Indian selection today. You can take this discussion to Cricinfo's exclusive Facebook page.
I forgot to mention that a Twenty20 game was played on this same pitch a few hours back between NZCPA and ACA. I wish I knew the result of that. According to Mark Richardson, the pitch should hold firm for another 40 overs.
Somesh from India: "India is starting to feel the pinch from Sreesanth's absence as a worthy 3rd seamer option behind zaheer and Ishant.. Irfan is certainly past his sell-by date and Dhaval and Praveen are not in the Sreesanth/RP category..I just hope Zaheer/Ishant dont get injured during the one day leg."
Teams One change for India. Ravindra Jadeja replaces Rohit Sharma. New Zealand are unchanged.
Remember Jadeja is here only for the Twenty20 games so he'll have something to tell his folks back home. Rohit made a start in Christchurch but gave it away with a leading edge. So much for placing my money on Praveen Kumar replacing Irfan. As always, my predictions are wrong.
Which is why I've retired from all forms of Fantasy cricket. But that shouldn't stop you from playing the special Ind-NZ fantasy edition. Challenge your friends. It's fun.
Toss: Vettori has won the toss again and New Zealand will bowl. Vettori said Jacob Oram will not bowl, despite him warming up this morning.
It looks quite overcast at the venue but no threat of rain yet.
6.20 pm: It's a packed cricketing day and the action now shifts to the Westpac Stadium in windy Wellington for the second Twenty20 between New Zealand and India. Good morning wherever you are and thanks for joining us on Cricinfo. This is Kanishkaa Balachandran and I will keep you company for the next few hours. Joining me today is Binoy George on scoring and Siddarth Ravindran on bulletin.
The pressure is on India to square the Twenty20 leg of the tour after an overconfident performance in Christchurch two days back. But as Yuvraj Singh pointed out, that defeat shouldn't be treated as a setback. It shouldn't be, really. It's just a Twenty20, that too the opening game of the tour. We're just moments away from the toss and teams so sit tight.
I'm putting my money on Praveen Kumar replacing Irfan Pathan. But i wonder how effective he will be bowling into the wind.
Southee to Gambhir, 1 wide, messes it up completely by spraying it really wide of the off stump, too wide for him to chase
Southee to Gambhir, no run, pitches it up outside and Gambhir nearly spoons it on the full to short cover
Southee to Gambhir, no run, driven firmly on the front foot and Nathan McCullum is absolutely brilliant at backward point
Southee to Gambhir, no run, Gambhir steps down the track and goes for broke but Southee pitches it shorter and the shot only meets thin air
Southee to Gambhir, no run, fires it full on the off stump and a booming straight drive finds mid-off
Southee to Gambhir, no run, pace and bounce and excellent carry, clearly the pace was a bit too much for Gambhir as he tried to angle it away to the off side, the outside edge wasn't too far
Southee to Gambhir, 1 run, taps it in front of the crease and Sehwag hurries him to go for the single, nice end to the over after the wide ball at the start

O'Brien to Sehwag, 2 runs, invites the uppish drive over the covers by pitching it full and Sehwag goes for the shot but the timing isn't perfect
O'Brien to Sehwag, FOUR, now the timing's perfect, half volley asking to be slammed over mid-off and Sehwag gets the elevation and the ball zooms through the air
O'Brien to Sehwag, no run, good comeback as he fires it on the blockhole, he digs it out to mid-off
O'Brien to Sehwag, FOUR, holds the length back but it doesn't help the bowler as Sehwag plays a tennis-like forehand over mid-off, in fact it was wide of the fielder comfortably, not the best shot but effective enough
O'Brien to Sehwag, 1 run, fires it full and he pushes it just wide of mid-off
End of over 2 (12 runs) India 14/0 (RR: 7.00)

Southee to Sehwag, no run, good comeback, he fires in a bouncer and keeps the batsman quiet
Southee to Sehwag, FOUR, directs a short of a length ball on the body and he whips it high over square leg, fine leg runs across in despair

O'Brien to Sehwag, OUT, Sehwag's fun ends! O'Brien delivers from wide of the crease and pitches it up, Sehwag goes for the bait but his bat turns at the point of contact and as a result he ends up splicing it to Vettori at mid-off, for more description wait for O'Brien's blog later today

Butler to Gambhir, 1 leg bye, just a little fuller and he pushes it back to the bowler off his pads
Butler to Raina, OUT, another Indian batsman gives away his wicket, Butler bangs it in short and Raina tries to pull it over mid-on, there was a lot of bat speed on that one but the ball hit the top half of the bat and spliced to Southee who jumps and takes it at mid-on, it was a lot like Alastair Cook's dismissal in Kingston

I spend the money from the Marketplace simply to pay the rent every month, heheh
If you search the forums you can find many threads about this subject.
Anyway, what I've done was contacting some talented graphic designers and illustrators from Creattica and ask them if they allow me to use some screenshots of their work. In return, I put all the links they want on the credits of the file discription.
And, of course, I don not include the images of their work on the main files for download.
Hope that can help you!
Ok David ….cool just shot me an email and we can discuss details.
Hi @dotroy!
Thanks for your interest!
I would send you an email, but looks like you don't have contact form in your profile.
Please, contact me so I can give some details.
Check Andy Gugel's projetcs:
There is some nice sports related projects.
I don't want people to think that I am criticizing Magento. I'm just asking that if someone can guarantee me that I can be a little bit more creative and change the typical grid and structure of the default Magento, I would be very happy to start a partnership!
Hi, community!
My name is David and I'm a Graphic Designer and also author here on ThemeForest.
I'm looking for a developer to work with me on converting my designs on Magento Themes.
But also, I would like to know, before starting anything, if it is possible to customize a magento theme a little bit more than the current templates on sale here in ThemeForest, graphically speaking of course.
I mean, they look pretty nice, but the inside pages and shopping cart looks exactly the same… and I'm not interested on release themes with the exact same structure than the default magento, with only some changes on the homepage.
So, if some Magento developer can guarantee me that I can put a little bit more "love" on a Magento and be a little bit more creative on the inside pages I would be glad to start a partnership!
Send me an email via my profile if you're interested.
37/40 items on the homepage are Magento.
OMG man! You're right! I've just counted it because I thought it was a joke, but it is true…
It makes you think about a lot of things… Some authors must be very happy with all that exposure!
Thanks for sharing…
how I miss the 90's…
Lucky you…

Gun Digest - Man Breaking into Home Shot and Killed by Homeowner
And uses the BG's gun to do it!!!By Melissa Burden | Flint Journal
November 07, 2009, 1:57PM
FLINT, Michigan A man who was breaking into a home on W. Bishop Avenue, just west of King Avenue, was killed this morning when the homeowner shot the intruder, police said.
The homeowner was talking on the phone to another family member about 10 a.m. when he thought he heard something at the back door, police said.
The suspects had already broken down the back door, said Flint Police Lt. TP Johnson.
Johnson said two people had broken into the home. The homeowner was able to get a gun away from one of the intruders, which the homeowner used to shoot one of the intruders, who died, Johnson said.
The homeowner was not injured and is cooperating with police, Johnson said.
Police are not yet releasing the name of the man who was shot but Johnson said he appears to be in his 20s.
Anyone with information is asked to call Sgt. Bill Meyer at (810) 237-6929 or Crime Stoppers at (800) 422-JAIL.

Current fashion is always making an homage to the past in one way or another, and the best way to accessorize for a vintage-inspired look is with a pair of Oliver Goldsmith sunglasses. A leading name in the eyewear fashion industry throughout the 20th century, this brand is known for its authenticity and daring designs.
Seen on Old Hollywood stars like Grace Kelly and Audrey Hepburn, Oliver Goldsmith's current collection takes the styles that they wore and revamps them for today's retro fashionistas. Hepburn helped make the brand as popular as it is today, wearing Oliver Goldsmith Manhattan designer sunglasses in "Breakfast at Tiffany's." Events and style icons of the past heavily inspire other models in the sunwear collection as well.
Established in London in 1926, the Oliver Goldsmith company not only provided a way to protect your eyes from the sun, but also a way to make a fashion statement in a big way. The brand became synonymous with a high social status, and was often commissioned by top international designers to create special frames for their runway shows. Today, the business is still in the hands of the Goldsmith family and is run by the founder´s great granddaughter, Claire Goldsmith.
While the British brand is best known for its high-quality designer sunglasses, the company has a successful line of optical frames as well. In 2010, Claire sought to redefine the eyewear industry the same way her family had done with sunwear. Wanting to put her mark on the company, she came out with a line of designer eyeglasses that are as timeless as they are elegant and beautiful.
Each frame is handcrafted one by one in the famous and ever-fashionable area of Notting Hill. The time that the designer dedicates to creating a perfect pair of glasses further emphasizes its reputation of high quality and high fashion.
While Oliver Goldsmith eyewear was a major staple of fifties and sixties Hollywood stars, today's celebrities are big fans as well, including such famous faces as Gwyneth Paltrow and Robbie Williams.
Buy Oliver Goldsmith eyeglasses and sunglasses online or in Boston
You can buy Oliver Goldsmith eyeglasses and sunglasses in our online shop. If you would like to check out Oliver Goldsmith eyeglasses and sunglasses in Boston, please visit our storefront at 11 Harvard St., Brookline, MA 02445 (in Brookline Village) and we will be delighted to show you the new collection and all the new styles.

text: You should consider the differences in the types of guns people are mentioning. Also is this .22 wanted as a trainer for another type of gun (with more expensive ammo)? If so it should be similar in action and feel to the other gun. Rugers are generally about $300 or less unless you get fancy. The MK III is a semi automatic. It is a good gun, comes in several barrel lengths, and in plain or fancy. The Single Six gets its name from being a single-action revolver. You must cock the hammer before each shot. There are some types of target matches it cannot compete in. The Single six may be just over $300. I chose the S&W22 as a training gun for a M&P40. I am considering a Ruger Single Six for a fun gun.

Thanks guys!
here is the add
It is not pretty (paint is crap, nothing acan of krylon cant fix). It just needs maintenance work, plugs, wires, brakes, muffler.
It has the 4.0 V6 (bulletproof), auto tranny and select trac tcase (part time and all time 4wd)
This would make a great hunting truck, as were my plans with it. Actually I was goign to lift it and offroad it also, that is what gets EXPENSIVE and I cant afford that.
It is not registered at the moment, I bought a few months back brought it home to VA from PA. Changed the oil, put new liftgate shocks on it, adn pulled the crappy headliner out and it has been sitting. I realized I dont have the $$ for a jeep toy at this time. For now we need the money. $1500

Plug 1 and Plug 2 Present First Serve
First of all, relax – De La Soul are not splitting up, in fact there's a new album in the pipeline. Rather than seeing First Serve as two musicians from an influential hip hop group you can look at it in another way.
As such First Serve is the brainchild of two French producers, Chokolate and Kahlid, and Plug 1 & 2 are guests with a VERY heavy presence. In fact the album bears a lot of similarities to De La Soul albums. There's an underlying theme that runs through the tracks, plus the usual bunch of skits and interludes which every DLS fan knows are essential to their albums.
With some very few exceptions, a lot of hip hop groups are adopting the more rough Odd Future template, so for an old skool fan like me its very pleasing to listen to big beats, weird non-violent lyrics and samples that only can be discovered by someone who spends hours looking through record bargain bins. More importantly there's a sunny vibe all throughout, and that's something a bit hard to come across.
Although First Serve does seem like a dumb fun album – and trust me, it is now and then – it does have a certain eclecticism that makes it utterly charming and adds depth. Whether its the disco hop bounce of Must be the Music, the full on party dancefloor filler Move 'em in, Move 'em out, or the honky tonk blues of The Book of Life, there is something for everyone, and every track is sequenced so well that FS is a total album experience which should be heard from start to finish to truly appreciate.
For a guy who is a bit disillusioned with the direction that most hip hop records are taking, its pleasing that out there some guys appreciate the beats and rhymes of yore. I like a happy album that's done cleverly, and at that First Serve do the job perfectly.

Didn't feel Bellator made enough of a difference between this as a PPV & their usual free Spike TV shows. Well, apart from Frank Shamrock mugging for the camera after he asked a question.
Solid show though.
Thought Page looked outstanding, still a long way to go & a lot of unanswered questions but could be a big star if Bellator take their time with him.
Surprised at the Tito fight, figured he was getting wrecked in this. Haven't been online yet looking for the above hints at this fight not being legit. Until I do I thought Tito looked solid & beat a solid guy. Will be interesting to see what's next. Rampage apparently wants none of Newton instead looking for the Mo rematch. Tito has enough of a name that it wouldn't surprise me. Think Newton will be too much for him personally.
I had Chandler/ Brooks a draw, gave Brooks round 3 (10/8) & round 4. Really screwed everything up though. Alvarez is the champion & I believe for him to get out of Bellator contract he agreed to fight Chandler & then give him a rematch. Nothing about title defgences against anyone else. Might cause big problems for Bellator. I fear we get a rematch of Chandler/ Brooks leaving a great talent like Alvarez sitting on the shelf.
Rampage was his usual self, stumbling forwards & looking for the bomob. Mo's wrestrling looked good in 1st round & thought he had it in the bag, then did nothing in the last two rounds. Threw the fight away. Can't say I was calling for an immediate rematch myself after having sat through it. Rampage seems to be going backwards in terms of ability & Mo is a wrestler not an MMA fighter. At least they didn't kiss & make up following the fight as so many other manufactured pro-wrestling style "grudges" do.

"Last Forever"
We consider the gravesites of forgotten famous people, the life cycle of the lowly mayfly (in a play by David Ives), and the staying power of music by Dick Connette and Sonya Cohen, from the band "Last Forever," who perform their music live in the studio.
Regina Thomashauer, the proprietress of Mama Gina's School for Womanly Arts, thinks it's women "" an untapped resource.
Something to forget him by
A walk through "the most celebrity-stocked cemetery in New York" with Fred Goodman, who's writing a book on the once-famous residents of Woodlawn Cemetery in the Bronx. It's the final resting place of Fiorello la Guardia, Duke Ellington, Miles Davis, Herman Melville, and Austin Corbin. Austin Corbin?
Lost art
Eight years ago, Jonathan Blum's entire portfolio disappeared from the trunk of his car "" as he remembers it, some of the finest work he's ever made. Recently, at one of his openings, a woman recognized his work. In fact, for nearly a decade, she'd been harboring his lost portfolio, unable to identify its owner. They arrange to meet, so that she can hand it over. Listen to what happens. You can see Jonathan's paintings at www.jonathanblumportraits.com.
Time Flies
"A day in the life of" two mayflies (an expression that, when you're a mayfly, is something of a redundancy).

Secondary Air Injection removal

My Ride: '02 330Ci

I like the Euro software idea but I haven't found anybody that can flash the DME for just secondary air removal. This would work at least in CA, because you only need like 5 outta 7 or monitors to be concluded to pass, so if all the others were good it should fly.
And to pie33oci, I hate to be an rude but you might want to check on that statement. The DME looks at pre-cat sensors for the lean signal upon secondary air injection, I know this because I have had my rear 02's disconnected for months and only throws no-signal faults, the day I took the secondary air off I got insuficient airflow faults, put the pump back on and no more faults, I think it even says in the GT1 that the DME looks at pre-cat sensors to test the flow out of the pump. Both front and rear sensors are the same with the same heater circuit, they both get up to temp and swinging voltage in about 15-20 seconds upon startup, even a cold start, the front 02's just a little faster. You sound like a smart guy and I'm not trying to knock it, I can hold my own to though.
Back to my original question, anybody know any electrical engineers that can make a little circuit? I'll pay em, give em beer, whatever.

I went to Kara during the "Cut a Thon" Ulta had to raise money for Breast Cancer Research and Awareness. I was a little nervous, as part of me thought that, because of the event, I wouldn't get a quality cut, but rather a quick snip and go. I was so wrong! Kara was attentive and really took to heart what I told her about my hair. She listened as I explained past bad haircuts and really took the steps to make sure I was happy. I went from long hair (mid-back) to chin length and Kara gave me an amazing cut. I couldn't be happier. She will be my go-to from now on! Thank you, Kara! I would highly recommend her to anyone with curly hair!

You need to follow a healthy diet. Avoid spicy foods, oily foods, outside junk foods, tea, coffee, sweets, sugars as much as possible. Have 4-5 short meals per day, instead of three big meals. Also drink plenty of water in between meals and little water during meals. You can take pantoprazole 40mg once in the morning half hour before your breakfast for one week. Sometimes stress can also trigger gastritis. So try relaxation methods like yoga or meditation. Also do not starve for too long. If this doesn't give you relief then consult a general physician or surgeon for further evaluation.

Elisabeth Hasselbeck Says Something Stupid Once Again
When will she ever learn? Usually getting slammed for her die-hard conservative comments, this week Elisabeth Hasselbeck made some unsavory comments about Dancing With The Stars contestant Erin Andrews, insinuating that the sportscaster deserved the recent attentions of a stalker and peeping Tom. She said Erin's costumes looked like "next to nothing," and the stalker should have just waited to watch her on the show if he wanted a peek.
"In light of what happened and as a legal [matter]–and as inexcusable
as it was for that horrific guy to go in and try to peep on her in her
hotel room," Elisabeth said. "I mean, in some way if I'm him, I'm like,
'Man! I just could've waited 12 weeks and seen this–a little bit
less–without the prison time!'"
Ick. Erin then slammed right back at Elisabeth saying, with total class, "As a mother and a woman, I'm disappointed she went there." What ensued is the following video where, in typical Elisabitch fashion, Hasselbeck (pictured yesterday at Time's 100 Most Influential People in the World event) tries to win our sympathies with heartfelt stories of her daughter and tears, trying to play dumb and act cute. Guess what? It isn't working.
Watch Elizabeth break down in tears after the jump.


text: Hey guys, when I went for my 30k maintenance, the dealership said there was carbon buildup on the throttle body, which means injectors too. They want 89 bucks to clean it (they said they don't just use a fuel additive, they hook up to the fuel system and use high pressure to blow it out). Can I do this myself, or will the in the tank injector cleaner do it? Thanks

Consumers Say No to Three Big Food BrandsBy
Three lackluster brands are dragging down ConAgra Foods' sales: Healthy Choice, Orville Redenbacher's, and Chef Boyardee. In the quarter ended May 25, volume sales of these consumer foods fell 7 percent. Over the last 12 months they were down 3.1 percent.
The three brands haven't kept up with changing tastes. Consumers want to eat healthier, but they don't want frozen healthy meals (frozen foods in general have been suffering); they're guzzling beer-margaritas from a can (à la Bud Light Lime Straw-Ber-Rita) but eating less canned spaghetti—and other canned foods; and popcorn sales have been strong, but not for Orville Redenbacher's.
ConAgra Chief Executive Officer Gary Rodkin said during an earnings call today that the company will discontinue underperforming Healthy Choice varieties and focus on newer ones such as Café Steamers (which are cooked in the microwave). "Café Steamers is a truly differentiated product line, has proven staying power, and has good margins," he said.
Regarding Chef Boyardee, Rodkin said that removing the easy-open lid last year "was a mistake" and that ConAgra will bring back those cans. The company will also market the products' high protein content, about 16 grams per can, and the cost, roughly $1 a can on average. He added: "We are seeing good growth in Chef Boyardee microwave cups, so we believe the chief equity still has strength and are looking forward to leveraging that."
As for popcorn, Rodkin said simply that Orville Redenbacher's is trying to be more competitive in retail.
Not all of ConAgra's foods have been disappointing: Slim Jim meat snacks, Bertolli frozen meals, and Reddi-wip had "good sales performances."

CANADA STOCKS-TSX opens higher as energy stocks rally
TORONTO Oct 1 (Reuters) - Canada's main stock index opened higher on Thursday, led by energy stocks that jumped more than 3 percent on the back of surging crude prices.
The Toronto Stock Exchange's S&P/TSX composite index was up 56.48 points, or 0.42 percent, to 13,363.44. Seven of the index's 10 main groups advanced. (Reporting by Solarina Ho Editing by W Simon)

Rob Gronkowski is all over the football presses today. There was a report earlier on Monday that he's doubtful to play in Week 1 of the regular season. That's not a big deal to the Boston Herald's Karen Guregian. She wrote Monday that Week 1 "was never really in the forecast." Week 3 sounds more like it.
A source tells Guregian that Gronkowski is "right on schedule for a mid-September return." Accounting for time that he would need to get back into football shape after his body heals from multiple offseason surgeries, Guregian writes that Gronkowski should be ready by the Patriots' Week 3 game against the Buccaneers.
Fantasy Analysis:
The Patriots have 12 days to decide whether or not to place Gronkowski on the regular season PUP list, which would force him to miss the first six weeks. But that doesn't appear likely with this reported timetable. If Gronkowski is back to his usual self by Week 3, he is worth every penny at his current fourth-round ADP in 12-team leagues. I, however, will probably still not select him that high, but that's just because I am a very cautious drafter.
Rookie tight end Zach Sudfeld could have a valuable role in New England's offense even when Gronk returns.

Australian ghostshark
|Australian ghostshark
|Australian ghostshark at the Melbourne Aquarium
|Scientific classification
|C. milii
|Binomial name
|Callorhinchus milii
Bory de Saint-Vincent, 1823
The Australian ghostshark, Callorhinchus milii, is a cartilaginous fish (Chondrichthyes) belonging to the subclass Holocephali (chimaera). Sharks, rays and skates are the other members of the cartilaginous fish group and are grouped under the subclass Elasmobranchii. Alternative names include elephant shark, makorepe (in Māori), whitefish, plough-nose chimaera, or elephant fish. It is found off southern Australia, including Tasmania, and south of East Cape and Kaipara Harbour in New Zealand, at depths of 0–200 m (0–656 ft).
Morphology and biology[edit]
The fish is silvery in colour with iridescent reflections and dark, variable markings on the sides.[1] Males mature at 50 cm (1.6 ft) and females at 70 cm (2.3 ft), and the maximum length head to tail is 1.5 m (4.9 ft).[1] It has an elongated body and two widely separated, triangular dorsal fins. They use their hoe-shaped snouts to probe the ocean bottom for invertebrates and small fishes.[1]
From spring to autumn, adults migrate inshore to estuaries and bays and females lay their eggs on sandy or muddy substrates. The eggs are contained in large yellowish capsules. The egg partially opens enabling seawater to flow in to the egg capsules after a few months and juveniles emerge from the capsule after six to eight months as about 12 cm (4.7 in) in length. Maximum age is estimated to be 15 years.[1]
This fish has three cone pigments for colour vision (like humans); its dorsal fin has a very sharp spine. The spine has been reputed to be venomous, but no serious injuries have yet been reported.[2]
In New Zealand, Australian ghostsharks are exploited commercially, particularly during spring and summer when they migrate into shallow coastal waters.
In Australia, they are caught by southern shark gillnet fishery, particularly in Bass Strait and south-east Tasmania, though this fishery targets the gummy shark, Mustelus antarcticus, and will sometimes discard ghostsharks due to the considerably lower price they fetch at market. They are also a popular target of recreational fishers in Westernport Bay, Victoria and in the inshore waters of south-east Tasmania. Their white flesh fillets are very popular with fish-and-chips restaurants in New Zealand and is sold as 'flake' or 'whitefish' in Australia.
Genome study[edit]
In January 2014, Nature reported research into the Australian ghostshark genome[3] that showed they lack a single gene family that regulates the process of turning cartilage into bone, and indicates a gene duplication event gave rise to the transformation in bony vertebrates.[4]
The Australian ghostshark was proposed as a model cartilaginous fish genome because of its relatively small genome size. Its genome is estimated to be 910 megabases long, which is the smallest among all the cartilaginous fishes and one-third the size of the human genome (3000 Mb). Because cartilaginous fishes are the oldest living group of jawed vertebrates, the Australian ghostshark genome will serve as a useful reference genome for understanding the origin and evolution of vertebrate genomes including humans, which shared a common ancestor with the Australian ghostshark about 450 million years ago. Interestingly, studies so far have shown the sequence and the gene order (synteny) are more similar between human and elephant shark genomes than between human and teleost fish genomes (pufferfish and zebrafish), though humans are more closely related to teleost fishes than to the Australian ghostshark. The Elephant Shark Genome Project was launched with the aim to sequence the whole genome of the elephant shark.

Due to weight loss in the early 2000's, I dropped from a C to A/B cup. I have moderate ptosis and noticeable asymmetry. My surgeon explained that due to my small size, I will need Breast implants with the Breast lift.
I absolutely, positively, want to be no larger than a "B" cup. Is it possible for the lift to reduce me to an A then have the implant increase me back to a B? Am I looking at a 150cc or 200cc implant in this case? Are surgeons generally open to placing such small implants in patients?

Dragons or Ribbons
By Joanna
*Disclaimers: Not mine. Never will be. I've accepted it and am trying to move on with my life. You can see how well that's going.
*Author's Note: I have no idea where this one came from in that it doesn't involve blood and guts and angst and such.
The Elessar was engaged in very serious business with one of his oldest and most trusted advisors, the Prince of Mirkwood. He had left very clear instructions that he was absolutely not to be disturbed (except for the bringing of more ale and pipe weed). Which meant, of course, that several emergencies had erupted within the last half-hour and that Gondor would surely fall from the surface of Middle-Earth if the King did not provide guidance right away.
At the latest interruption, Legolas heard Aragorn murmur something beneath his breath that was most unbecoming of a king and made a note to tell Arwen as much. With a look of equal parts annoyance and apology, Aragorn took his leave to quell the newest rebellion.
Legolas did not mind so much. It was good to be back with his old friend, and to know that he would be staying for awhile with the King and Queen of Gondor. Long had he been in his own woodlands, but much, much longer had he loved them both, and he acknowledged that his heart was with them here, in the city of men. Though he took every opportunity to visit Aragorn, Arwen, and their three children, Eldarion, Imeren, and Gliriel, his own duties and travels had kept him away for longer than he intended.
He suspected that Aragorn had summoned him, not as counselor, but as friend, for he sensed a loneliness and oppression about the man that suggested that Aragorn had grown restless and had need of rehashing old adventures, and perhaps of finding a few new ones.
That was fine with Legolas as well. He missed his adventures with Aragorn, the Hobbits, the wizard, and dare he say, the dwarf. Middle-Earth was not free of peril, but they who had lived through the most unimaginable dangers, however glad they were to have ended the darkness, hardly had any new quests to provide them with equivalent excitement.
Legolas gazed out the window of the palace, watching the comings and goings of lighthearted people who lived with plenty, under the rule of a man they loved, and who loved them. Pride swelled in Legolas' chest very unexpectedly, and tightened his throat, for he remembered the time when the Ranger had doubted his ability to serve Gondor well. Now, Elessar was proclaimed the most just, the most generous, the most beloved ruler of all the days of men.
And the songs they sang of their beautiful and kindly queen would ring out to the stars until the ending of them.
He had been lucky in his friends, he thought. Indeed.
Legolas found that the smile that had spread upon his face was still in place when he felt a tapping upon his knee and looked downward. He was surprised, for he had been caught off guard, but was not startled, for the walls of the city held in safety and serenity, without hope of escape for either.
He found himself looking down into the little moon face of Gliriel, Aragorn and Arwen's youngest daughter. She watched him with solemn gray eyes, unblinking. Her hand still rested carelessly on his knee.
He felt that such graveness and importance deserved his respect, so he tried very hard to flatten the widening grin crawling across his lips. He was hard pressed indeed to keep a smile from his face with this child, for he had a special fondness for her and often boasted of her in the faraway lands.
Weeks before it was her time to come into the world, as Aragorn and Arwen journeyed back from a late summer visit with Faramir and Eowyn, Gliriel had been born. A great storm had come down upon the King's escort, and the horses and carriages had been bogged in a great mire, unable to either go back to Ithilien or forward to Gondor.
The babe had been set upon coming, and coming viciously, and the timing had been danger to both Arwen and the child. The labor was both long and violent, and rain poured upon them and lightning lashed from the sky like a demon's flaming whip. Some had whispered that both Lady and her babe would not see morning.
Those had underestimated the will of their King, the strength of their Queen, and the persistence of the life borne of both of them. It had been Aragorn to deliver the child, to touch his third born with his hands before those of any other held her. And Aragorn proclaimed that when his tiny daughter issued forth an ear-splitting shriek of protest at being brought into the world after such fearful hours, the sound was as music.
And thus they had given her the Elvish name meaning singing.
"Good afternoon, Lady Gliriel," Legolas bowed his head in formal greeting, and touched his forehead and chest, as one did when one met with royalty.
Gliriel bowed as well, never taking her hand from his knee. "How do you do?" she asked in gracious tones of someone much older. No doubt she'd been watching her mother doing her governing.
"I am well, my Lady. For I have found good company. It is long since we met. Do you remember me? If you say you do not, my heart shall be broken."
Rather than answer this question directly, she reached up to grab the front of his shirt in both fists for leverage and climbed up upon his lap, elbowing and kicking until she was comfortably settled there on his knee, her legs dangling between his own.
She turned her gaze back into his eyes and said primly, "I remember you. I do not remember if I like you or not though."
Legolas pressed his lips very tightly, determined he would not laugh at the child for he would then be in her bad graces. It was very good indeed to return to Gondor. For a moment he envied Aragorn this treasure very much.
"Well, I will do anything to win your heart and your approval, Princess of Gondor. I will slay a dragon, take you for a ride upon a white pony, sing you a song. I will buy you a pretty trinket. I will…"
"You have pretty hair, like Princess Eowyn," she said, silencing all further pledges of fealty, reaching up to his shoulder to stroke the golden strands laying over it, so very different from her own, for she had the look of her mother about her. As did her sister. This was much to Aragorn's dismay.
It was not quite the way he would have chosen to have her consider him, but as she seemed to like Eowyn, he guessed he could have done worse. And Eowyn was very pleasing to look upon.
"You may come with me. I want to play with your hair."
Legolas' eyebrows climbed far up his forehead, nearly into the hair she wished to braid. Not exactly what he'd been expecting, but probably less complicated than, say, slaying a dragon, as there were none to be found any more.
He made one attempt for dignity. "Well, I am waiting for your Father, little one. I am one of his trusted advisors. As well as one of his oldest friends. I help him make very important decisions."
The tilt of her head told him that she considered this highly unlikely.
"You may come," she repeated, a bit more firmly and he swore for a moment that Arwen Evenstar had leapt out of the five-year-old and faced him down. Gliriel jumped from his knee and trampled his toes with the carelessness of a child who knows she cannot do any real damage, and took his hand.
"Your skin is very nice. Not rough like Ada's. It is like Mama's, soft like flower petals."
"Ah, well…" Legolas stammered, just imagining the look of manly superiority on Aragorn's face should the child tell him this. He set out to prevent such an occurrence. "We should not say that to your father. He might be sad that you think his hands are not so nice."
She ignored him. Though her tiny hand was completely hidden within his, it was very clear who was leading whom. He was forced to stoop a bit as he followed her. It was most unelfly posture.
He glanced backwards at the room where he was supposed to be waiting for Aragorn, but then, who knew how long the flood in the kitchen would take to stop? For all he knew Elessar might have met his death in the water. The valet had seemed to think it was likely when he edged into the room, keeping the door between most of his body and the snapping eyes of the King.
Gliriel did not feel the need for conversation as she led him through the halls, pausing to talk to no one, not him, nor anyone else she passed. The servants who watched them go smiled and whispered to one another at the sweetness of the sight of warrior and child navigating the corridors. Gliriel managed the twists and turns of the palace hall with one who has long ruled it, and she looked neither to the left nor the right as she brought him to the room that was hers to play in as she wished.
The room was bright and cheerful, with many windows and paintings of elves and horses and men that Legolas had himself drawn there the winter before Arwen had given birth to Eldarion. The room had been each of their children's for a time after their birth.
Legolas' heart gave over to tenderness as he looked at his labor of love, his gift to the King and Queen alike, an acknowledgement of the love and happiness that had been so hard won for both of them.
He had painted them all, had given the children of Elessar and Evenstar their history there in bright colors and sweeping murals. Waterfalls of Rivendell cascaded behind the House of Elrond. The boughs of Lorien twisted upwards to the ceilings. The lush goodness of the Shire and the Hobbit holes endured. In the scene of the Glittering Caves, Legolas had sprinkled gold dust into the paint, so that when the early morning light hit the wall, indeed it did shine in the glory Gimli reveled in. Shadowfax raced across the plains of Rohan, unbridled and free, and behind him, the brave Riders of Rohan (one slight of form and longer of golden hair) charged below the hill of Edoras. The Rangers of the Dunedain stood proud, tall, and watchful, staring out over Gondor through the window, from the far wall. One of them bore a remarkable resemblance to Boromir. Gandalf's fireworks crept onto the high ceiling, over the silver parapets of Minas Tirith, as they had the night Aragorn and Arwen had been wed. A great ship unfurled its sail and rode the clouds to the Undying Lands.
Legolas' murals had served a tribute to the history of those King and Queen had treasured the most, and there was such love etched in the walls by his own hands that it came back to him anew. All elves were possessed of some gift of art, be it singing, the written word, sewing, sculpting, or painting. He had always had a fine hand with a brush, and never had he put it to such use before, and never would he do so again. How he missed those dear voices and faces that had inspired his art!
He smiled as he remembered the long days he had shut himself into the room, for it was to be a surprise for the Queen. Aragorn had smuggled him food and drink for the better part of a week, for none had known Legolas had arrived in the White City. The room was in the proximity of the King and Queen's bedchambers, and Arwen had been in a bad temper the entire week. He had listened to Aragorn receive more than one thorough scolding, as he sat smirking and snickering in his own little room, covered in paint and safe from wrath.
Legolas had sent word when he was ready to show his labors to both Arwen and Aragorn, who had not been allowed within the room on his stealthy visits. The memory of their faces was one of his fondest. Arwen had burst into sobs, and at first Legolas had feared she was devastated by the ruin of her perfectly fine walls. But the wonder on her tear-soaked face as she walked to stand before each scene separately told him that she loved his gift even as much as he loved her. She'd paused for some time before the one of Rivendell in its days of high glory, as he'd taken greatest care to do it justice, and her fingertips had reached out to hover above the balcony her father had once stood upon, watching the comings and goings of the elves. New tears had welled upon her lashes as she looked at Legolas, a bittersweet smile there in her lips and in her eyes.
Aragorn had not come fully into the room at the time, but Legolas smiled now, standing in the doorway just where Aragorn had, even as the impatient child tugged at him. The King had bowed his crowned head for just a moment, and when he picked it up again, there had been tears of gratitude and amazement in his great eyes.
"You have moved me, Legolas," Aragorn said thickly, and walked to Legolas to grasp his shoulder. "I am humbled by such a gift. It is beyond kingly."
"Do you know who painted these walls for you, little one?" Legolas questioned Gliriel as she gave him an especially hard yank and he followed her the rest of the way into her nursery at last.
"Ada's dearest friend, and one who loves me very much," she answered automatically, as if she'd been well-versed in the tale. "Come and sit down."
Her casual relay of this old information cheered him beyond measure, for he imagined Aragorn or Arwen laying their children down in this nursery during the night and telling them the tales he'd painted. Telling them of the love the one who had painted them bore for each child.
"Please, sit." She told (ordered) him, and moved to the center of the room where another of the Fellowship's gifts awaited. The Hobbits had crafted and brought forth their finest furniture, the finest hobbit-sized table and chairs and bed, for it was of a size that a child could play comfortably upon it.
She was a gracious host and pulled a small chair out ceremoniously before crossing to take her own. Legolas stared at the minute furniture and looked down the length of his body doubtfully. He eyed the hobbit chair, not at all confident it would bear his weight.
But Gliriel's eyes were boring into his own expectantly, as piercing as Estel's had ever been, so he cleared his throat and nodded for her to be seated first, as a nobleman would. When she was seated, he gingerly eased himself down, folding his legs at impossible angles so that his posterior regions might meet the seat. The chair creaked ominously and Legolas did his best to keep his weight on his bunched legs, which stuck out to either side of him rather like a frog's.
"You are very big," Gliriel said at last, and looked altogether disapproving.
"Well, the table is very small," Legolas pointed out, in defense of himself, stung by her displeasure.
"Yes it is," she said, and giggled as she looked at her companion. "Mr. Frodo, Mr. Merry, Mr. Pippin, and Mr. Samwise the Brave are much smaller. And so am I."
They sat and watched each other for a few moments, and the blood stopped flowing altogether in Legolas' legs, so that he couldn't have removed himself from his twisted position had the city caught fire (which could have happened due to a problem in a tavern that had been the occasion of an earlier interruption with Aragorn).
"You are very pretty, for a boy-elf," Gliriel finally said, and though Legolas hoped she might have forgotten her designs on his hair, he was forced to remind himself this was Aragorn's blood. She would likely never forget anything in her lifetime.
Within minutes, Legolas sported several tiny braids, which he did not mind so much as the pink and lavender ribbons that she fastened them with. She was as industrious as a dwarf and in a few minutes, the whole of his head was adorned with knotted ribbons.
In addition, she perched a lovely little crown made of mithril on top of his head, and Legolas had a suspicion it was the dwarf who had given it to her, along with the tiny jeweled earbobs and necklace which she decorated him with.
Once he was properly dressed, she saw fit to serve them both tea from her hobbit tea-set. Legolas had made the mistake of assuming that there would be actual tea when she'd suggested it, and she had sighed in frustration when he eyed his empty little cup.
"It is pretend tea!" she hissed, clearly finding him duller of wit than a cave troll.
"Oh, well then. It is very good," he said and attempted not to crush the cup as he brought it to his mouth and actually sipped from it, not feeling nearly so foolish as he probably should have. "You are a very gracious hostess, my Lady."
"Lovely," she said, approving, and Legolas thought that he had not endured such torture in vain.
Until a voice, trembling on the very edge of laughter that might never stop, wondered from the doorway, "perhaps you wish to borrow one of the Queen's dresses to wear to dinner, Legolas?"
"Ada!" Gliriel forgot Legolas straightaway and ran from the elf toward the doorway. Legolas would not suffer himself to turn around and face Elessar just yet. He felt, for the first time in perhaps a thousand years, blood rush into his face, hot and pink. Matching his ribbons.
"Hello, Guren [my heart]," Legolas heard Aragorn murmur and a shriek of delight followed from the child as he presumably swept her up into his arms and gave her several kisses. "What have you done to Prince, or, shall I say, Princess Legolas?"
"He is very pretty," he heard Gliriel tell her father, and in a moment he raised his eyes slowly to Aragorn's as the King strode around to the other side of the table with his daughter perched upon his hip, her tiny arms wrapped hard around his neck.
"Why, you are right. He is very pretty. And it is fortunate he is dressed for company, for an old friend has just arrived in the city, having answered the same call I sent out for your new friend."
Against all odds, against all that was sacred and right and good with the world, Legolas heard a rough chuckle and the rolling R in the voice that growled out behind him.
"If I had known that you were envious of the wee crown, pointy-ear, I'd have made you one of your own. And a few jewels too. No need to take the lassie's." Gimli walked around to stand by Aragorn, and together the three of them stood, all beaming down at him.
The child, because she had made him pretty. The man and the dwarf because they knew, as he knew, without a doubt, that this day would never be allowed to slip from recall.
Legolas knew in his heart, in that moment, that evil had been allowed to endure after all.
"And have you enjoyed yourself, Guren?" Aragorn asked his daughter. "Has Legolas been good company for you?"
"Oh, yes. Ada. He is so pretty, like Princess Eowyn. I shall brush his hair every day and braid it. And then we shall have our tea."
"Well, I might scold you for troubling my friend so," Aragorn told her, "but he seems to mind it not."
"Ada, I think I will marry Prince Legolas." Gliriel announced this to her father, without preamble.
Though Aragorn smiled indulgently at her, his eyes were as arrows, and his smile like a blade when they fell upon the elf. In a pleasant enough tone, for his daughter was present, Aragorn said flatly, "this shall come to pass when the blazing sun gives over to ice and you become Queen of Rohan."
"The latter part may not be as far off as you think, Aragorn. For I've heard that Eomer is looking for a bride. And Legolas would make a fair one," Gimli grinned.
Aragorn was not quite done with his warning. "Very well then. You shall marry my daughter when I become Queen of Rohan, Legolas."
Legolas tried very hard to look as if he had no such intentions, which he did not, but was not willing to take many chances in the path of the protective father. He had seen Aragorn wield a sword in protection of those he loved much less than this child, after all.
He decided a diversionary tactic was in order and tried to look as threatening as possible, calling to mind the state he'd been in when slaying orcs. He really had no concept of how ineffective it was, given that the ribbons tied above his forehead swayed down merrily before his eyes as he narrowed them into glittering slits.
Dividing a very dark look between his two friends he hissed, "there is no need to tell of this, you know. I was merely appeasing your dear daughter, after all."
"Aye. Some might have brought her a sweet instead of dressing like a lass," Gimli said, and produced a small cake which Gliriel squealed in delight to have and reached from her father's arms to hug Gimli around the neck and to take the treat.
Traitor, Legolas thought and considered revising his opinion of Aragorn's babe.
"Still, there is no need to speak on it anymore," Legolas said and reached to remove the crown, but when the child issued a sharp gasp of protest, he was forced to leave it.
"What do you suppose the odds are of us never speaking of it again, Princess?" Aragorn asked, and though his daughter looked up in response, it was not to her he spoke.
They spent time with Gliriel, and Legolas had his revenge when he suggested that she invite Aragorn and Gimli to have tea with them. Legolas knew great satisfaction as he watched Aragorn bend his even longer, and less lithe, shape into the hobbit furniture. Gimli crushed his chair straight away, and Gliriel burst into sobs until Aragorn promised her that he would fix the chair before the coming of the night.
Finally, they went back to Aragorn's chambers to discuss kingly matters while Gliriel took some rest, and Legolas was finally able to remove his bows and braids. After some time, Gimli and Aragorn stopped grinning and they actually tended to the pressing business of planning a hunting trip.
By dinner, no one had made mention of Legolas in crown and ribbons for several hours and he dared to hope their mirth was spent. Guests milled about the room and none had so much as given him a strange look, which was more than he would have hoped for.
He forgot his embarrassment as Lady Arwen came into the great hall upon Aragorn's arm, glowing in a deep green dress that was such a contrast to her pale, flawless skin as to be breathtaking.
She hurried to him, embracing him tightly, for she loved him more dearly than any other in Middle-Earth save her husband and children.
"Lady Evenstar, you grow more beautiful each time I see you. Love suits you very well, indeed. It does me good to see you again."
"You are too gracious, old friend. Long have I hoped to see your face back in Gondor." She kissed him again and then turned away to greet Gimli warmly.
Aragorn was smiling too, gently, content to have old friends near. "Let us sit down and eat together for we have been too long apart."
Arwen led them to a table loaded with a feast that not even a Hobbit could have done justice to. The men waited for her to be seated at one end of the table, and then moved to their respective positions around her, as the rest of the guests sat themselves and silently waited for the Queen to invite them to eat.
Just as Legolas was pulling out his chair at the King's elbow, Arwen's clear voice floated to him, silkily sweet, guileless though he knew better.
"Legolas, I would prefer it if you did not sit by my husband. Just a while ago he made a comment of how pretty you were today. I must admit to being threatened."
They all roared with laughter, and he had little doubt that everyone in the city had by now long been aware of the events of the afternoon, and that the King had no small part in that. At his expense, they were having themselves a very good laugh.
At his side, Gimli suddenly reached up and tugged at a lock of his hair. When he drew his hand back, he held a pink ribbon, which he lay beside Legolas' plate.
"I suppose you could not have brought yourself to inform me I had left one in during all the hours we have spent together?" Legolas asked the dwarf.
"It is not in my nature." Gimli agreed.
They were all still laughing, and self-consciously, Legolas ran a hand through his hair, and thankfully encountered no more ribbons. As he did so, as they all laughed at him, he caught Aragorn's eye, then Arwen's, and thought that if he were not so smitten with this entire, royal family, he just might have minded.
He considered, several times, trying to bring up the fact that both Aragorn and Gimli had committed several omissions or slights of conduct in the drinking of the imaginary tea (not the least of which had been Gimli's completely flattening the chair), and that he had pleased his hostess more than the others. Unfortunately, he thought such a story couldn't really help his plight much at the moment.
It wasn't until the end of the meal, after dessert had been served that Arwen wondered breezily. "Would anyone like some tea? Oh, but I forget. The King and his companions have already had theirs today."
Gimli reddened and Aragorn nearly choked on the last bite of his cake, looking at Legolas in accusation. Legolas shrugged and shook his head to let them know that he had not been the one to tell the Queen.
Legolas took great pleasure in seeing the look of shock come over Elessar's face. Could see him wonder just how far Arwen's reach was in her palace and who belonged to the network of spies she had placed throughout. Aragorn swallowed hard and looked guiltily at the Lady, as if wondering what other things she had heard about his behavior this day.
In the end, Legolas decided that he would rather wear the ribbons in the city streets than be on the receiving end of the slow, knowing smile Queen gave King.
*The End. Yeah, I don't know if Middle-Earth children really play tea-party or not.
For your convenience, introducing multiple choice reviews:
A---Not too terribly bad, my eyes are not bleeding. Yet. But it is still early.
B--The Horror, the horror. Never attempt to write anything without angst and blood again. This story could have done with a death or two. The author's mainly.
C--May your keyboard burn your fingers off if you touch it again.
I can take it. Seriously, first Legolas-centric fiction I've done, and any comments are always appreciated, here or at firstname.lastname@example.com

All Saints celebrates Mardi Gras

Costumed party-goers from throughout the community brought the carnival spirit to the Civic Center for the All Saints Mardi Gras dinner and dance Saturday night. The 19th annual event had a little something for everyone, including door prizes, a silent auction, music from DJ Louie Najar and a dance performance from the Roswell High School dance team Charlie's Angels.
Proceeds from the party went to All Saints Catholic School, which received dozens of donations from area residents and businesses for a silent auction. The auction included custom-made seat covers made out of jeans donated by local designer Shilo Halvorson of Crowbar Creations, a quilt made by the school's 4th- and 5th-grade [auth] students, $350 worth of grill products, a solid copper tray and kettle, crock pots and artwork.
Other Mardi Gras activities included a king and queen drawing that elected a married couple from the audience to receive a grill donated by Home Depot, and a drawing for a Smart TV box for those who arrived in costume.
Parent Teacher Support member Tony Rincon said that when it comes to fundraising at ASCS, the annual Mardi Gras event goes a long way.
"The money generated from this event goes straight into funding the school activities," Rincon said. "It's not additional stuff. It goes right into paying salaries, buying books — keeping the lights on. So we're running the school with this money. And every year the community shows up, and they get us there."
Rincon said the private school is home to about 120 students in grades K-8. He added that as the school continues to grow, he thinks All Saints will one day include a high school class.
All Saints School Board Treasurer Peter Kelly said the school has a building fund that will finance future additions to the school. Building phases will include a new gymnasium, a preschool wing and an arts and library wing.
Kelly said everyone who attends the event knows they're supporting the school. "It's the community behind the whole thing. And that's the success of it.
"The silent auction that we have, you won't see anything like this. You have parents and kids all making their own artwork. So it's one-of-a-kind things. … A lot of the unique things are homemade creations, so this is bringing the teachers and the parents and the kids together."
Larie Garrett, school board president, said a big part of the fundraising is to help with tuition assistance, which pays as much as 80 percent of tuition depending on the family's financial situation. She said nearly all students receive some form of assistance and the tuition fund is one that constantly needs replenishing.
But at the end of the day, Garrett said the All Saints Mardi Gras event is all about community building and having some fun.
"This event is just something that everybody looks forward to. We don't even carry on the fundraising once the dance starts!" she said. "We just really want people to come and enjoy themselves."
