The patented mild rocker bottom and superior shock absorption make this beautiful new Dansko clog incredibly supportive and comfortable all day long.

My friend Karen Gilman and I have been experimenting with different flavours of bliss balls. Karen is an excellent vegetarian cook and a Holistic Nutritionist, we are always sharing recipes and tips for healthy living, and we both love to make this receipe. So when you have a craving for something sweet these bliss balls are the perfect chocolate fix made without processed sugar. I promise you will feel great eating these and the best part is there is no cooking!
Bliss Balls are a raw sweet treat.

I've been the recipient of one too many awkward, unsolicited Valentine's Day gifts. So as an unofficial V-Day expert, I'd like to provide you all with a list of gifts NOT to bring your lovah…
1. Carnations
There's nothing quite like a bouquet of flowers that remind you of High School Valentine grams/middle school dance recitals to make you feel like a million bucks. Seriously dudes, don't go the carnation route. Better yet, avoid flowers altogether. I once received a dozen red roses from a gentleman who was thoroughly surprised that I wasn't actually interested in receiving them. Maybe you should try gifting something that won't die after a few days? I mean, nothing says "I'll love you forever" like a bouquet of limp, dried-out roses.
2. Stuffed Animals
This is a no brainer…unless we're time traveling back to 1993 and are sitting on the back of the bus with my boyfriend Corey Ng (who, I found out via MySpace, is now fabulously gay). Oh, and it doesn't matter if it's from Rite Aid or Build-A-Bear or Bergdof — that shit belongs to babies and horders.
3. Female Enhancement Pills
I hope I don't have to explain myself here…
4. Sex Books
Nothing says sexy like lots and lots of words. Oh, and if you have to read a book on how to bone, you probably shouldn't be smashing genitals in the first place.
5. Anything Fuzzy
Since sneezing fits/allergy attacks are so hot right now, let's pop a couple Bendaryl and see what happens! Bet it's like the poor man's version of Ambien sex…
6. Dunkin' Donuts' Cupid's Choice Donuts
Do you really want to see someone naked after eating one (or 6) of these? I didn't think so.
7. STDs
Probably not the nicest thing you could give someone this Valentine's Day. I mean, it's kind of thoughtful that you'd want to give someone a gift that will last longer than a bouquet of roses, but the medical bills/shame and embarrassment would most likely negate that.
8. Fundies: The Underwear That's Built for Two
I'm no expert in anything tandem (bicycles, skydiving, etc.) but I have to imagine getting into these is the single most awkward activity a couple could engage in. Just a total mood killer.
Hope you all have a wonderful Hallmark holiday, kiddos.

Reliance Fresh gets a Dosage
I had been thinking for quite a time whether this new phenomenon of huge companies foraying into the retail sector is good or bad. Somebody said this, and somebody said that. But still the questions remained. Is it good for the common man? Is it good for the country?
Lately, I think I have got a answer. You see, I have got some socialist tendencies, and thats why it makes it a little more difficult for me to take a stand on this situation. But now I think I am indeed in favour of this. And the reason is this :
"H.G. Narendra Babu at Bangalore's Koramnagla and Sobti Medical Store in Delhi's Janakpuri claim that sales have dropped by 20 per cent ever since Subhiksha opened an outlet across the road. Rohan Swaminathan has been struggling to stay afloat next to a Food World store in Bangalore for the past two years. A study by Anuradha Kalhan, professor at Mumbai's Jai Hind College, says that sales declined in 71 per cent of small businesses and among 72 per cent of hawkers who operate in the vicinity of big malls in the city. Similar studies will show more evidence of displacement, says Prasenjit Bose, economist at the CPM's research cell. Indeed, the first ICRIER study notes that in Latin America both domestic and foreign chains took over independent retailers and regional chains, while many local players had to shut shop in Thailand. The ability of large chains to buy in bulk and transport products more efficiently will, Gibson Vedamani, CEO of the Retailers Association of India, agrees, enable them to sell products cheaply. Subhiksha cuts out the retailers' margin of 13 per cent on medicines by dealing directly with the wholesaler. Prices of fruits and vegetables increase by 125-150 per cent between the farmer and the consumer. It's not just intermediaries, but inefficient transportation and wastage that push costs up. Big chains, say consultants, do this more efficiently and pass on the cost cuts to consumers. Still, Ranjan Biswas, head, retail and consumer products leader, Ernst & Young, the consultancy firm, feels small shops won't die out entirely, as they have the advantage of being conveniently located. Besides, small shops are also fighting back. They're joining hands to procure supplies on economical terms, sprucing up their stores and even charging big consumer companies to put their products on their shelves. Some have chosen to become franchisees of big chains (all of Reliance Fresh's 145 outlets are franchises). "The smarter retailer will survive," says Biswas. Similarly, ITC's pushcarts scheme, says S. Sivakumar, chief executive of ITC's agri-business, plans to involve existing hawkers. In fact, a micro-finance organisation Basix has approached ITC to help women headload vendors switch to pushcarts. Subramanian can't understand what the fuss is about, since big chains are more efficient. "We did not cry when Maruti put Ambassador and Padmini out of business; why cry for these guys?" Well, the numbers involved are far bigger in this case and many of them are poor. "The idea that savings for 1.3 billion consumers are to be blocked to save 4 million traders is insane. PCOs shut down when mobile telephony expanded; can we block mobile telephony for that," retorts Subramanian. Contends Malay Dave, CEO of the Ahmedabad-based Consumer Education and Research Centre, "The good old corner shops have been taking Indian consumers for a ride all these years." He believes that the entry of big chains will discipline the market, bring in choice and quality and better prices."
Quite right too, couldn't disagree with it. Its time for everybody to sit up and take notice, and in haste too. The days of complacency are gone. And yes, its a harsh harsh world...

Well, It's actually to be welcomed. It's rightly said that corner shops have been taking us for a ride. And who knows, this might reduce inflation.

this one is very good too, sahi hi kahaa hai, this is what is happening!
the game of economy. a general increase in the level of prices accompanied by a fall in the purchasing power of money, we really need to be saved from this, this might come out as a help.
well, nelakantan has been saying somewhat the same thing.
khush ho jaa lamboo, teraa lambaa support hai :D :P

Because of my DVD-R problems, the pictures below are from SamuraiCast.com!
The Nighlok threatens Antonio. Jayden flies in with the Samurai Battlewing taking out Moogers. The other Rangers come in and Mia saves Jii and Antonio. The Four Rangers surround the Nighlok. Antonio morphs to Gold. Jayden confronts the monster with Shark Mode. They fight the Moogers. Lightzord flies in and serves as a shield. Gold fights the monster and pushes him down. Jayden uses Shark Mode against the monster.
They form the Samurai Megazord and Jayden enters with Mega Shark Mode. Gold uses Clawzord and its various modes. Monster holds down Clawzord and the Rangers ' blindside' him with Shark Zord and it attacks the monster. Monster lets go Clawzord. Sharkzord makes Samurai Shark Megazord. They destroy the monster. Later Mike feeds a cat. Jii congrats the team. Antonio talks about the Shark Disc. Kevin says he will be full of himself. Mike puts cat food in a bowl and gives it to Antonio. Antonio takes it and Jii says he will warm up food in the kitchen. Everyone laughs.
Mike's prank side has been dormant, I hope it comes out more. It was an interesting focus on Jii and Antonio but seem sort of 'on the surface' and didn't delve into too much. I LOVED the Bulk and Spike scenes, they reminded me more of Bulk and Skull more than anything else in the past episodes. Everyone is still complaining that this episodes doesn't explain much more about the Shark Zord but the Shinkenger episode this comes from didn't either.

2015 Vintage Notes: 2015 was a year defined by extreme contrasts due to the Mediterranean climate. Autumn was hot and very damp (308 L/m2). Winter was cold with heavy snowfall on February 4th that left up to 10 cm of snow on some parts of the estate. Spring had a cool start with a night frost on April 9th that caused 5% of the Xarel-lo buds from la Vinya dels Fòssils to freeze as it is a north-facing vineyard. All of this combined with just 62 L/m2 of rainfall between January and July created some extreme conditions for the vegetative development; the varieties that adapted best to these conditions were Xarel-lo, Sumoll and Monastrell.
Winemaking Notes: The Xarel-lo grapes were carefully selected in the vineyard, even though the grapes were extremely healthy thanks to the heat and dry conditions that characterized this vintage. Once put into crates, they were taken straight to the press. Whole bunches were pressed to avoid oxidation and the get the best quality must. No additives were used including sulfites or yeast. Fermentation occurred at a controlled temperature of around 18ºC. The wine was bottled with 17.5 g/L of residual sugar to continue fermentation and create a wine from the ancestral method. It finished with around 3 bars of atmospheric pressure.

Sixth Circuit Denies Federal Jurisdiction over State Law Claim Invoking Federal Public Policy
Per Eastman v. Marine Mechanical Corp., --- F.3d ----, 2006 WL 335466 (6th Cir. Feb 15, 2006):
The plaintiff's complaint in this case, in its original iteration, identifies only federal law as the source of the public policy allegedly violated, and it is on that basis that we consider the jurisdictional issue. The plaintiff alleged that his termination violated public policy found in 18 U.S.C. § 287, . . . and in 31 U.S.C. § 3729 . . . . Neither of these two statutes creates private rights of action to enforce individual rights . . . . The absence of a private right of action might seem to be dispositive in light of the Supreme Court's holding in Merrell Dow, in which the Court withheld federal jurisdiction in a state tort action alleging negligence based in part on the misbranding of a drug in violation of federal law . . . .
However, in Grable & Sons, the Supreme Court cautioned that Merrell Dow cannot be read so simply. "Merrell Dow should be read in its entirety as treating the absence of a federal private right of action as evidence relevant to, but not dispositive of, the 'sensitive judgments about congressional intent' that § 1331 requires." Grable & Sons, 125 S.Ct. at 2370. According to Grable & Sons, "arising under" jurisdiction for state-law claims based on an interpretation of federal law can be found in section 1331 only when there is "not only a contested federal issue, but a substantial one"; and "federal jurisdiction is consistent with congressional judgment about the sound division of labor between state and federal courts governing the application of § 1331."
. . .
[T]he meaning of the two statutes cited by the plaintiff is not in serious dispute in this case. It hardly can be disputed that submitting fraudulent claims to the federal government would contravene national policy. Nor can it be gainsaid that government contractors ought not commit felonies or defraud their customer, or that whistleblowers should not be punished for exposing their employer's fraud. Marine Mechanical does not dispute these points. Moreover, Congress' withholding a private right of action from these statutes is an important signal to its view of the substantiality of the federal question involved.
. . .
[W]e conclude that the reference in the plaintiff's complaint to the federal statutes cited as a source of public policy does not create a substantial federal question in this case.
Next, and perhaps more importantly, we find that accepting jurisdiction of this state employment action would be disruptive of the sound division of labor between state and federal courts envisioned by Congress. We address this issue because "the presence of a disputed federal issue and the ostensible importance of a federal forum are never necessarily dispositive; there must always be an assessment of any disruptive portent in exercising federal jurisdiction." Grable & Sons, 125 S.Ct. at 2368.

PI implements specific work to support the strengthening of non-violent self-protection capacities for HRDs and CSOs in rural areas in Guatemala, Colombia, Thailand, Indonesia and Kenya.
PI has called "protection networks" (PN) to this collective protection approach. It is conceived as a process of strengthening the capacities on non-violent self-protection of communities and their territories as collective subjects, and which is embedded into their own social networks and existing practices.
From there, new connections are established with support organisations and institutions, whether local, national or international. This broader network of solidarity towards the territory is key, breaking the isolation of HRDs, which is also one of the elements favouring the impunity of the aggressions. Moreover, the networks allow the coordination of capacities to respond to specific needs such as technical advice, legal support, advocacy, economic support, etc.
Hence PI's intervention model assumes that HRDs and their CSOs are not "objects" of protection but rather "subjects" and actors of their own protection. The challenge is to ensure that protection networks do not constantly behave in an emergency and reactive mode to the events that occur, but that they are able to influence the context with preventive strategies based on the idea of risk assessment and prevention.
By recognising all of the above, we understand that the accompaniment and support to the HRDs and communities that defend their human rights and territories must be done in the territory and from the territory, reinforcing the importance of the collective subject.
To this end, PI facilitates context and stakeholder analyses, risk assessments facilitation for elaboration of protection strategies and long-term support to strengthen collective practices that yield positive protection outcomes. Equally, the process of accompanying and strengthening collective protection practices of the networks requires a variety of capacities and efforts that PI seeks to harness through partnerships with other allied organisations: research on corporate actors, legal support, psychosocial support, training on communications and outreach, and advocacy toward state authorities and key stakeholders, among other issues.
Between 2009 and 2015, PI developed applied research activities, which resulted in different tools, such as:

Monte Cristo Sandwich
Before you even think to begin this Monte Cristo, search for the red currant jelly. It's a must-have condiment for this dish. The French toast encases cheese, ham, and turkey in this classic American favorite, and it's so gooey and rich, you need to tart jelly to cut through with a welcome contrast. Emmentaler is a yellow, medium-hard Swiss cheese with a savory, but mild, taste. It's also called Emmenthal. It's a heavyweight from the heart of Switzerland. This version of the Monte Cristo doesn't deep-fry it, but pan-fries, which seems a smidgen less worryingly rich.
Rumored to have first been served in Los Angeles in the 1950s, the Monte Cristo sandwich is still a staple on the lunch menu at Disneyland's Blue Bayou restaurant.... Read More

Almost a year after Lehman blew up, Citadel's Ken Griffin filed a claim last week in New York bankruptcy court, alleging the former bank owes him $470.5 million on derivatives contracts--a move that could trigger a wave of similar suits from other hedge funds who had exposure to Lehman's credit default swaps.
Reuters points out that Citadel claims it is owed the money in its Citadel Equity Fund.
The filing said the claim was at least partly based on a guarantee, but did not give details.
Derivatives take their value from underlying assets, which can include debt, equity or commodities. The contracts can be used to hedge or bet on changes in the value of the underlying assets.

Rating: 7/10
When Nevermind, Nirvana's groundbreaking album, turned 20 in 2011, the world could not stop talking about it. Fans and music lovers reminisced on their first time hearing the record and how it got them into the band. Even the members of the band talked about that magical time before fame took them and shook things up. To celebrate the landmark album, it was reissued in several different formats boasting b-sides and unreleased material. Unlike the excellent In Utero re-release, there isn't much here for fans that hasn't been heard before.
The first disc contains the full album and b-sides. The record itself is amazing, why wouldn't it be, but the b-sides are nothing new. Tracks like "Curmudgeon" and "D-7" are gems, but they were previously released on the With the Lights Out box set. This doesn't change the fact that the songs are good, it just means this is stuff we've heard before. The live tracks of "Been a Son," "School," and "Drain You" all come from their 1991 show in Seattle at the Paramount. These versions aren't drastically different from the studio takes, but the band sounds passionate, on fire, aggressive, and full of energy. They're nice inclusions, but don't make the first disc anymore exciting.
Things don't get better on the second disc, which is filled with several different demos. What fans will be most interested in are the Smart Studio Sessions, which includes Chad Channing on drums. The best track from these outtakes is "In Bloom," which is the same version found in their first music video for Sub-Pop. It's pretty much the same song we know and love now, but the drums aren't as heavy hitting as the version Grohl plays on. Still, it gives you an idea of what the album might sound like if Channing stuck around.
The Boombox Rehearsals are really rough takes on tracks like "Lounge Act," "Come As You Are," "Verse Chorus Verse," and "On a Plain." These versions are good to hear at least once to see how the band had all the songs prepared before they started recording. All the tracks sound very similar to the final versions with the exception of some lyrical changes. The most satisfying demo is "Smells Like Teen Spirit," which has the familiar music, but completely different lyrics. It's just interesting to hear how the famous song came to be.
There's nothing really special about the BBC Session tracks aside from the band sounds great, but the one that stands out is "Something in the Way." There was a demo version of this song, which included some light banter from the guys during the beginning, but it was still the song we all know now. The BBC live version takes it from something soft and quiet to heavy, hard, and aggressive. This version is intense and gives it a darker feel. It's great to hear how they change things up and has to be the best track on the entire collection. Even better, it has not been previously released on their other collections. It's one of the few things that will catch your attention on this collection.
Overall, the album gets 7/10. This would be great for any new Nirvana fans, but if you're an avid collector of theirs chances are you've heard a lot of this material before. The demos are interesting to hear, but after a while you grow bored with them. Maybe things are better on the super deluxe version, but since it includes a lot of the same material it doesn't seem like it. Still, it's a nice addition to any Nirvana collection.

(AP) Late caution helps Keselowski to 1st win of year
By JENNA FRYER
AP Auto Racing Writer
Brad Keselowski snapped a 37-race winless streak Saturday night by chasing down Kasey Kahne in the closing laps at Charlotte Motor Speedway.
The defending Sprint Cup champion picked up his first win since Dover of last year. Keselowski led only 11 laps, and passed Kahne with nine to go to get the win in his Penske Racing Ford.
The race changed dramatically with 27 laps remaining and Jimmie Johnson seemingly on his way to an easy victory. But a debris caution sent the leaders to pit road and ended Johnson's march to a record seventh Charlotte win.
Keselowski restarted in sixth, picked his way through traffic and set his sights on Kahne. But getting past the Hendrick Motorsports driver wasn't easy, and he needed several attempts before making it stick.

In fact, the United States Geological Survey has revealed that 89.3 percent of U.S. homes have hard water. 85 percent of Canadian homes deal with hard water. While it's normally safe to consume, it may cause some concerns in your home—like mineral buildup in your plumbing, issues with cleaning dishes and clothing, reduced appliance life and dry skin and hair. That's where Service Experts can help with water softening solutions to handle it. Whether you're just beginning your research on water softeners or you need water softener repair, our team of professionals are here to help. Benefits of Softening Hard Water Soft water could make for easier cleaning, longer appliance life, faster water heating and a cleaner plumbing system. Soft water is better at rinsing soap residue, which means you'll have cleaner looking dishes, brighter clothes that don't have soap residue trapped in them and cleaner sinks with reduced soap scum buildup. You'll also require less detergent and cleaning supplies because they won't be offset by the minerals and metals in hard water. Over time, hard water may cause buildup in your washing machine, dishwasher, water heater and any other appliance that uses water. This buildup can shorten the life of these appliances, decrease their efficiency over time and may even cause you to need repairs on these items. You might also note a difference in the money you're saving on cleaning supplies, with even bigger savings when it comes to your appliances. If you think you have a problem with hard water, one of our experts can come out to inspect your water softener and provide an idea of where it stands. All of our work is covered by a 100% Satisfaction Guarantee*, so whether you need a repair or an installation of a new water softener, we'll get the job done correctly the first go-round. If you've got hard water problems like a lot of people, call Service Experts at 919-578-4329 or request an appointment online. We can get you set up with a new water softener installation. Water Quality Alert! Your water quality varies by geography, and is influenced by the process your water treatment facilities use, local infrastructure such as roads, local industries such as mining and agriculture, and the presence of mineral deposits that your groundwater may be flowing through. To educate Americans, the Environmental Working Group (EWG), developed a database of more than 30 million state records of tap water tests, and available online and no registration or sign up so you can learn if there is pollution in your personal drinking water. With EWG's research showing that 81% of the community utilities tested in the U.S. have chemicals linked to cancer present in them, you'll want to see for yourself what's in your water.

The Sun In His Hands
A tale of Middle-earth set in the waning years of the Reign of Elessar Telcontar, Aragorn the Second
His eyesight was no longer what it had been, but then, for some things it did not need to be.
"Legolas, please come away from there. The landscape has not changed since the War; you cannot see it from here."
"You sound so certain."
Aragorn, King of Gondor, known to his people as Elessar, smiled faintly and stared down at the game board before him. He was coming down the final lap of a particularly tricky game of Capture the Queen over which he and his Elven companion had laboured for most of this damp day, and he was confident he would win.
"I am certain of not many things in this life," he murmured now, "but the view out my own window, that I know rather well."
"Ah, but how well do you know my vision?" the Elf asked archly, turning from that view with eyes that were steeped in pain, though he strove to make his voice light and merry. Aragorn chuckled.
"Having depended on it for my very life's safety for so many years, I think I know it well enough to state you cannot see the ocean from here."
"Only that?" Legolas murmured, one long-fingered pale hand ghosting over the royal shoulder as he passed, lighter than the breath of air that stirs a thin curtain. Aragorn felt it as a blow, though a welcome one. He was no longer young, and no longer had a young man's control over sensation or reaction. He did not have to look up to know the Elf had seen the shudder run through his form.
"What do you see closer to, Legolas?" the King asked quietly, striving and succeeding at making it sound like the most commonplace of questions. He heard the woodland prince regain his seat across the gaming table, frowned slightly as he suspected Legolas made more noise these days just so that Aragorn could hear him.
"I see a Queen in check," came the puckish answer. "In less than three moves."
Aragorn looked up into bright blue eyes brimming with mischief. "Three moves. You young idiot. There is nothing of the kind."
Legolas tilted his head slightly and raised one slender dark eyebrow. The supple mouth rose on one side in a faint smirk; as he spoke his next words, a forefinger poked at pieces on the game board before him.
"Knight in jeopardy. You're probably planning to try and rescue him with your Wizard. Wizard under attack; moving him will expose the junior pawn that is protecting your King. Castle to protect the King, lose the pawn; miss the fact that the Elves of Mirkwood have been steadily moving up through the trees, and your Queen is in check from no less than three separate directions."
Aragorn cocked an eyebrow right back at him, though his was bushy and white with age. Everything the Elf said was entirely true, right up to his suppositions on what his opponent might be considering for interim moves. The King gave a disobliging snort.
"There are no trees in Capture the Queen."
"There do not have to be," Legolas riposted with a faint grin. "Present or not present, the Elves are sneaking up through them nevertheless."
"The Elves are very sneaky and think themselves clever, doubtless," Aragorn grumbled, moving his Castle just for the sake of moving something. Legolas just looked amused. "In any case, I was not referring to the game."
"I see a friend acting very much younger than his weight of years," the Elf murmured, considering the situation before him and moving his own Wizard so that Aragorn's Knight was indeed in trouble. "And not in a manner that necessarily amuses."
"What in the name of Oromë did you do that for?" the Man demanded, staring. He raised his gaze and was caught in the summer lightning of Legolas's very blue eyes. "That--did not make sense."
"You are whining, Estel," Legolas pointed out, interlacing his long fingers and making them a platform onto which he could rest his chin. He smiled with friendly patronization. "Do we need a nap?"
"No, we need what is apparently impossible to obtain: a straight answer from an Elf." Aragorn mimicked his companion's position and batted his eyelashes on purpose, just because he could. "I did ask you what you were looking at, and you have yet to actually tell me."
Legolas smiled faintly and gave a very Elvish shrug. He never exactly looked away from the King; rather, his gaze lengthened and went through Aragorn, as if he were not there. Or conversely, as if he were terribly, terribly present, and for pain the Elf needed to look somehow elsewhere.
Both, of course, were true, given Legolas's state of mind...
"In point of fact, you asked me what I see closer to," he felt constrained to remind. Aragorn threw up his hands in mock despair.
"See what I mean? Ask an Elf a simple question! Just ask! And see how many answers you get!"
Legolas's supple mouth twisted briefly into a grimace; his brow creased with pain, and this time he did look quite away. "Ah well then, your mistake would be in assuming it was a simple question, nín mellon ."
Aragorn felt the change in his friend the way he felt alterations in the weather these days: viscerally, through his very being, as if his arthritic joints were reacting to an incoming storm. By the time he narrowed his eyes at the Elf, gone was the expression he was sure he had seen--but the sensation was still present like a ghost in the Paths of the Dead. Heedless of the game pieces between them like squadrons of intervening years, Aragorn reached across and took Legolas by one deceptively slender wrist, squeezing gently to get his wandering attention. Pawns and wizards and castles went every which way across the parquet battlefield. "Legolas--look at me."
The Elf stared down at the disrupted board and gave a smirk of pure mischief which almost hid the fact that his eyes were alive with pain. "What a silly way to prevent losing a game, Estel!" he chided gently, using his free hand to re-set the pieces in their starting arrangements. "I would have thought you past such nonsense--oh, at least a hundred years ago!"
Aragorn raised one eyebrow. "I did not do it for that reason. You had clearly already won."
"Then why else?" Legolas challenged, pausing with one hand poised over the figure of his King. The living monarch across the table raised his other hand and cupped both protectively about the Elven wrist he still held.
"That is the second time you have named me Estel in the last five minutes," he murmured, watching as Legolas gasped faintly in pain and closed his eyes. The Elf gave a quiet, twisted chuckle.
"What an Elvish answer. Positively Avari, in fact."
"Yes. As is yours." Aragorn mercifully released him, but the Elf did not move; he sat there, frozen in time, a bright spark caught in amber immortality. The chin dipped slightly; the most minute tilt to the head, and Legolas bit his lower lip in consternation.
"Ordinarily I am not this transparent," he whispered. "At least--I hope that is the case."
"Ordinarily," Aragorn allowed, nodding once.
A soft, bemused laugh that twisted into a breath of pain: "Would Gimli not be surprised at me!"
"Delighted, more belike, as it would give him fodder for banter."
Legolas took in another breath, as if it hurt him to do so. He rose gingerly to his feet--he for whom every move was usually poetry--and made his way the few short steps to the balcony. Aragorn marked that, apparently all unwitting, the Elf moved to precisely the same spot and adopted exactly the same stance as he had held some moments past. It seemed odd somehow that such a thing would be so.
"Ordinarily," the King murmured, finishing the task of re-aligning the game pieces, "I would continue this tentative discussion of ours with some sort of commonplace conversational nicety: a question to guide you along to further disclosure. I might, for instance, ask you: my dear friend, just exactly how long have you been suffering so?" It seemed as he glanced sidelong that the broad, powerfully slender shoulders twitched briefly. "But then, I do not believe I need ask that particular question."
"No, I daresay not." The melodic tones blended with the soft afternoon breeze and became one with it, barely voiced, barely heard. Aragorn closed his eyes against a guilty stab of pain.
"I might then choose another question," he said sadly. "I might then ask why you have suffered so."
The fair head, drooping on that long, slender neck like a precious lily heavy with dew, came up slowly, but Legolas did not turn.
"That," he said flatly, "would be a rather ridiculous question." The voice and the manner of delivery reminded Aragorn of Legolas's regal, ancient father, the fierce, fell, and frighteningly beautiful King Thranduil Oropherion, now well into his eighth millennium of life in Ennor. Hearing such power from the lips of the Elf-Lord's youngest child, not even a full six hundred years gone in life himself, was stunning; but Aragorn was accustomed to such declarations and such tones. Too, he had his reasons for asking.
"It is the very ridiculousness of the question that will keep me from asking it," the King of Men now murmured, his lips giving the faintest twitch of amusement. Legolas's only answer was an elegant snort. A silence stretched between them like a tabby cat, lithe and lean and long, though more tense than the comfortable silences that had yawned between them in the years they had been friends. Not for the first time it was Aragorn who had more patience for it, though the Valar knew he was far less well practiced at such calm than was the tightly coiled Elven spring hovering at the brink behind him. Had the circumstances been other than what they were, Aragorn might have scrupled to be amused.
"You asked me what I see closer to," the Sindarin prince said at last. His voice was edgy and thin, still musical, but more like wet fingertips on the rim of a crystal goblet than the brightly mellow concerto of hautbois and viols the Man usually heard when his friend spoke. "Knowing you as I do I refuse to believe you play at some lover's game, attempting to trick me into telling you how well I cherish you."
"Blessed Elbereth, you are in a fell mood this day," Aragorn breathed, pain backlighting the simple phrase even as he tried to give it the lightness of humour. "I must search out some kind of hedge-witch to work on the weather--your spirit is as damp as a marsh with all this rain and chill!"
The Elf was beside him in less time than it took to involuntarily blink, and far more silently. Down on one knee beside him, Legolas looked up at the familiar, beloved face; one arm snaked behind Aragorn to lay across the carved back of the chair just at his shoulders, while the other came up, hesitant as young love, to not-quite touch his cheek, mapping every line the years had limned there.
"I see all your decades like toy soldiers marching across a shelf," Legolas said, his voice almost a humming growl of effort to keep steady. "And I hate it that something so precious can be measured out in such little drams--like miruvor in the House of Healing, one small teaspoon at a time. Decades! My people measure time in greater swaths--if we bothered to make clocks like Gimli's folk do the hands would not move for centuries, so slow do we pace, so long do our memories go! And yet--and yet--"
His face contorted with agony; Legolas turned his face away, willing himself not to release the tears that built up within him. But all his effort flew out the window when Aragorn touched him. Mirroring the Elf's position he lay his right arm over Legolas's left, reached over and placed his free hand on the slender, green-clad shoulder. The prince uttered one choked sob and tried to twist away, but Aragorn took him by the chin, made him look up. The blue eyes were swimming with tears like a tempest at the heart of the Sundering Sea, changing colour as the wetness shifted: now grey, now silver, now azure, and always awash with loss expected.
"My clock runs to the insistence of a faster pace, I know," the King whispered, regret colouring the words, love roughening the edges of his deep voice. "And I am sorry for that; I never meant to cause either of you such pain."
"You do us both wrong to name it so," Legolas ground out, but he did not--could not--pull away from the hand that both comforted and burned. "Do you think either Arwen or myself so blind--so foolish!--that we did not know from the moment you were born what it would mean to love you, even as a friend? Do you think I am such a dunce that I cannot tell what my own future brings? You gone to the silence of the House of Kings; Arwen likely as cold as death herself in a matter of hours or days beyond that--and then I must watch Gimli sink down to the grave as well like a stone in the sea!"
It was not usual to hear such a torrent of speech from the Elf. Legolas by custom portioned out his words with great care, whether for good or ill; he could be as bright and cheery as any of his kindred, and yet as it seemed through those of Eldar descent there ran a deep current of melancholy, he could also parcel out sadness or words intended to cut, and all with a fell and learned hand. Generally speaking, he was a quiet creature with as many bends and twists in his speech as a decorative knot on the scabbard of a Rohan sword. At this sudden deluge of emotion and pain Aragorn could only stare, stricken. Hating the sorrow and agony in those blue eyes, he leaned forward with intent to avoid them as well as soothe, and touched his lips to those of the Elf, gently at first, giving comfort.
Legolas let out a pent breath of pain and sobbed once into Aragorn's mouth; then with desperation he entwined his arms about the King's neck and returned the kiss with a terrible fervency that left them both breathless. Then he dropped to both knees and hid his face against Aragorn's thigh, his shoulders quivering as he strove with the violent extreme of emotion.
"Forgive me," he breathed, and never was agony of soul more musical than the voice of Legolas. "I never meant to speak of these things. I have watched the years crawl over you, robbing your eyes of their brightness, your hair of its darkness, your limbs of their strength--and I meant to say nothing, nothing, do you hear me? I wanted only that you should look into my eyes and see yourself reflected back a hundred years to your youth, strong and powerful! And ai Valar, how I wanted that for Arwen as well! But because of my own weakness I have failed you both! Forgive me–ai! Forgive..."
The words trailed off. There was no more sound, but Aragorn did not pretend this was the last coin of his friend's agony. Legolas's inner turmoil was all the worse for its silence as he strove with it, his entire being caught up in the struggle to regain and hold his dignity and outer calm. The King wrapped his arms about the Elf then, bending down to rest one lined cheek against the silken brightness of the other's hair, giving him the strength that just for this moment he did not possess, from arms he feared no longer had such strength to give. But there is strength and then there is strength, and for the moment it was enough.
"Beloved idiot," Aragorn whispered then in the Sindarin tongue of his childhood, closing his eyes and smiling dimly to contemplate those golden years of joy and wonder. "Did you think for one moment, all these years, that I did not know? Did you believe that because you never spoke the words aloud to me, I would not merely look at you and understand? Doubtless you thought yourself clever to make the vow only to Arwen, but I have spent more years with you recently than she has, and I will make the brazen declaration that I know you far better than she does. Yea, and Gimli knows as well, being no want-wit himself."
Legolas remained where he was, motionless and silent save for a single noise that issued forth--whether sob or chuckle Aragorn could not have been certain--and then it was as if he had become a statue. The King brought up one roughly elegant hand and, as gently as if he touched an infant, ran that hand over the golden fall of hair that spilled across his lap. The merest shudder ran through the grieving Elf; another might not have marked its passing at all, but Aragorn was not that other. At length he wondered if his friend had fallen into Elvish reverie, while outside the gentle rain that had fallen steadily all day began ever so slightly to turn to a true storm as night began to fall over the capital.
"Do you dream, melethron-nín?" the king murmured eventually, allowing his hand to come to rest atop the bowed head.
"Perhaps," Legolas sighed wearily, exhaustion colouring the words. "But if I do, I do in waking. I feel as if the last decade has been nothing but a waking dream."
"A good one, I hope."
For love of him, the Elf did not speak the thought that came to him then; he simply raised his slender shoulders in something approximating a shrug.
"I would not change a moment of it," he said instead, with complete honesty. He raised his eyes, dry at last, to those of the King. "Except--possibly to make it longer."
Aragorn smiled. "As would I."
Legolas managed the faintest of smiles--a pale shadow of that with which he usually graced this best beloved of friends, but enough at the moment--and sighed gently.
"Tell me again," he pleaded as he levered himself to his feet. At Aragorn's interrogative look, the Elf elaborated: "Tell me what the spiritual writers of your people say concerning the fate of Men when their souls and bodies part. It seemed to me, if I am remembering it aright, there were parallels to Mandos--something of hope that there is indeed life beyond life."
He did not need reminding, of course, for Legolas knew those writings well--had studied them in great and anxious depth, seeking answers to the well of encompassing pain that ebbed and flowed within his being like the very Sea that called to him daily. But it was exactly the right thing to say, for there was a spark in Aragorn's weary eyes that had not been there before--a chance to give something back to his beloved friend, perhaps. An opportunity to assuage and comfort--to give it and to receive it from the words of belief that had governed the lives of the Númenórean greats since time immemorial... perhaps the very same words that had comforted Elros, brother of Elrond, who had chosen to follow the Way of Men and thus had accepted Ilúvatar's Gift to the Second-Born...
And as Aragorn began to speak, his marvelous voice took on the cadence of one reciting some great epic work of poetry, a saga of ages gone by when Men knew a greatness they had not known in the Age before--a greatness Aragorn himself had brought back to them. Listening, Legolas sat back in his previously abandoned chair and cupped the figure of the little King of the game board between his pale, long-fingered hands, protecting it, cherishing it. He closed his eyes and drifted, smiling faintly as the words rolled around him gentle as waves, now rising, now falling.
Thy heart will then rest in the forest no more...
The prophecy of Galadriel echoed through the sound of Aragorn's voice, persistent as the call of a sea bird, wheeling and dipping through his consciousness as it wove itself into the fabric of his being again and again, as it had every day since the great ships had borne Aragorn's host up the Anduin, away from the beckoning ocean. The cry of the gull on the shore...
On the shore, in his ears, in his heart, through his soul. The cry of the gull had wrenched him in half, then tore each half asunder into tiny little fragments, scattering his being helplessly to the winds as Varda had scattered the stars into the vault of heaven. Legolas closed his eyes, blessing and cursing the long memory of the Elves in the same breath, for he could remember every second, every iota, every nuance of the experience as powerfully as if the then were happening now.
"...and just as the Valar have promised to the Firstborn, so shall it be for the Followers," Aragorn murmured, coming to the end of his recitation. His voice sounded very close; Legolas opened his eyes languidly to stare at a clasp of the King's over-robe, right about at the midpoint of his belly, for he stood in front of the Elf's chair not even a breath away. The callused hands came up to frame Legolas's face, tipping his head back slightly so he could look up; with chaste tenderness Aragorn bent to kiss the smooth pale forehead on a face that had not changed a bit, not the veriest fragment, in all the years he had known it, loved it, marveled upon it. "Even in death do we live, nor are we sundered from the Song of Ilúvatar, for we simply go on to the next coda. I know we will meet again, son of Thranduil, in a better place than this. A place where age does not intrude and the sea does not beckon."
Legolas gave him a fractured smile, managed an impressive amount of control. "I am glad to know that," he breathed. "It gives me much hope."
"If it gives you in comfort a tenth of what I hope it gives, it might be enough to silence the gulls that scream in your heart," the King said, one thumb stroking gently across a high cheekbone. "How Arwen and I have become worthy of such love I know not--but by Elbereth, I thank the Valar every day of my years for whatever it is that makes us so, and pray that you do not have cause to regret the greatness of your own soul."
"I do not," Legolas said, briefly closing his eyes to nuzzle the caressing hand; then he stood in Aragorn's embrace and wound tensile arms about the mortal King. "Nor will I ever."
"Even if I live forever?" Aragorn teased. Legolas smiled, shattering the jest with his sincerity.
"Even then."
"Think you we will have a chance to prove our boasts?"
"We can but try."
The wind was battering the windows now, spending itself with great force against the leaded panes of diamond-shaped crystal. It had grown quite dark; in the corridor beyond the chamber of the King they could hear servants moving about, illuminating torches to brighten the hallways of the residence. Night had come to Minas Tirith, and with it the storms of summer.
"It will be a filthy night," Legolas commented. Aragorn smiled, and the winter in his brow retreated like melting snow.
"You are the sun for me," he said, and for all the lack of volume there was great power in the utterance.
"You hold Anor in your hands and bring its warmth, its light to me. An uir."
"An uir," Legolas agreed, nodding gently.
They stood and watched until the storm lashed itself to calmness once more; eventually the clouds parted to show a midsummer moon, nearly full, riding the skies like a swan-ship under full sail. They spoke of this and that, the inconsequentials upon which life is based, until a servant came to call them to dinner. And ever, always, the sea danced in the eyes of the Elf, calling to him, commanding his tears to add to the great salt depths, while the sea-birds swept through his being and cried out their mournful songs.
Thy heart will then rest in the forest no more...
Only a little while, then forever, Legolas thought to himself as they made their way through the corridors. You are a prince of the Greenwood and the son of Thranduil; surely this is not beyond you!
You can do this. If necessary, for always.
An uir...
The voice of Aragorn called him back to the present. Legolas gazed with some surprise upon the private dining chamber, at the table where waited the Queen, Arwen, the Evenstar of her people, and the lovely son and daughters she had borne to the Man who was her Doom and her beloved. Bright eyes, knowing eyes watched him as they entered; enthusiastic greetings for Aragorn, more reserved ones for Legolas, who though no less beloved, was clearly not in a celebratory mood this stormy night. And eventually, as he knew it would, the cries of the gulls retreated for a time beyond the sound of fire crackling in the hearth and the civilized murmurs of dinnertime conversation, punctuated by clinking crystal and the sound of knife on plate, spoon in bowl.
He felt Arwen's knowing eyes upon him and Legolas smiled for her, bravely, eyes glowing with the love that made all this possible.
An uir, those eyes told her, and she nodded.
An uir, nín gwador...
The End
End Note: The game of "Capture the Queen"--a chess derivative played in Gondor--is used with permission of Irena, who makes passing reference to it in her marvelously dark tale, "For the Good of Gondor."
The title of this story comes from an exquisite song by Judy Collins, which I first heard years ago on her album "Colors of the Day". They reminded me of Galadriel and her mirror back when I first heard them; but in retrospect they minded me more of the Telerin Elves, for whom the Calling of the Sea was both a great gift and a devastating agony.
That Legolas Thranduilion was able to resist that Call from the time of the Ring's Destruction all the way to the end of Aragorn's life and the passing of Arwen speaks of a great and encompassing love. I hope no one who reads this tale feels that such a love has been in any way lessened by how I have treated it here.
Remember to send me a note if you want the lyrics to the song. Which I did not write, and never claimed I did. wry smile

These molecules consist primarily of protein, but many of them also contain a few monosaccharides and oligosaccharides. Although noncollagenous proteins such as fibronectin contribute only a few percentage points to the dry weight of ligaments, they have an important role in the complex interaction of ligament cells and their environment during growth, healing, and remodeling. However, this role is poorly understood.
Fibronectins are important in an array of cellular functions, particularly those involving a cell's interaction with its surrounding extracellular matrix. They are high-molecular-weight extracellular glycoproteins whose functions include (modulating?) intra- and extracellular matrix morphology, cellular adhesion (both cell-to-cell and cell-to-substratum), and cell migration.
Examined by electron microscopy, fibronectins appear as fine filaments or granules coating the surface of fibrillar collagens or associated with cell membranes. Fibronectins have an adhesive domain specific to fibrin, actin, hyaluronic acid, cell surface factors, and collagen. They function to attract and couple key elements in normal healing and in growing tissue.
Quantitative studies of fibronectin concentrations in rabbit ligaments demonstrate significantly (two to three times) higher amounts of fibronectin in the cruciate ligaments as compared to the collateral ligaments. This difference may reflect the fact that the cruciate ligaments are surrounded by a synovial sheath, and therefore have a higher degree of cellularity as compared to the extraarticular ligaments.
The maintenance of ligament tissue and its ability to respond to changes in loading depend on interactions between the cells and matrix. Normally the matrix macromolecules are slowly but continually degraded and replaced. The cells must synthesize new macromolecules to balance the losses due to normal degradation or microtrauma. The matrix provides to the cells protection from mechanical injury during normal loading and transmits signals generated by loading to the cells.
Cells bind to the matrix primarily through a family of cell surface proteins called integrins. These molecules mechanically link the matrix macromolecules, including fibronectin, to the internal cell cytoskeleton. They participate in cell adhesion, migration, and proliferation and in regulation of cell synthesis of new matrix macromolecules.

Once again, Bob del Grosso has written something that I wish I had. He compares cooking for his family with cooking for strangers (aka "paying customers"). Whether it's the delays of your family getting to the table, bickering carrying over to mealtime, or the inherent pickiness of each family member, he starts to believe that cooking for strangers is more rewarding. This paragraph really nailed it for me:
Cooking for the same people every day is even tougher if you like to cook a wide variety of things. It seems that everybody besides you has a laundry list of ingredients that they don't like and arcane, but perfectly valid, reasons to dislike them. The net result of years of not cooking all of the things that my family collectively does not like to eat, is that my repertoire of dishes is about as sparse as the hair on my head.
Yes, I do enjoy cooking for my family, but I've nearly lost it several times when, after I've worked hard to cook something that I believe everyone will enjoy, I get that "What the hell is this crap" look from one or more of the kids. Or when they ask me to make a particular dish and then they only eat a bite or two.
