Did you ever try or were you successful upgrading to 10.6.6? Every time I try when I reboot I get the circle with the line through it on the silver apple screen.
No, I haven't tried upgrading yet. That symbol usually means OS X had a kernel panic. You can try copying and overwriting your kernel with Prasys' kernel (from http://prasys.info/2...kernel-is-out/) to see if that works in the root directory. Do you have Windows also installed as the same hd? ..this would make replacing the kernel file easy with say MacDrive installed.
Did you follow any upgrading guide before running the update? (they usually have a number of precautions and steps to do before and after the upgrade...I just noticed on Prasys page with the 10.6.6 kernel he created a package to run immediately after running the update [before rebooting] to replace the kernel). You can try using the ModCD to do a repair as well. Hope this helps, and sorry if it doesn't..I find updating OSX on hackintosh a hit or miss.

Frontpage Examples
Please post your Frontpage Website Examples in this thread.
Please state clearly what version of Frontpage you have used.
If you have previously posted the URL on another thread, please include a link to that thread also. It will be benificial for those whom choose to use Frontpage in the future.
OK, click here
The email links are temporarily disabled, but it's an example of less than a days work from start to finish using FrontPage 2000.
The company is fictional but most of the products and services detailed are what I offer through my normal line of work.
Dreamweaver might produce slightly leaner code, but I like to think that for less than a full day from start to finish, the results are at least acceptable, even if I did use FrontPage (shock, horror).
What's your hourly rate taran **smiles**......
I'm really getting to grips with administration right's etc & believe that my new site will do all I ask of it..... I will have to contact the hosting company again when I get as far as installing the forum again, they have quite catagorically said that I must NOT use FTP Client's or there home grown file management system. During the install of the forum you have to change file permissions, I have not yet thought of a way of doing this without corrupting the FPSE's.
The reason they give for not using file client is that the server is unix hosted. Apprently, it would not be an issue to use FTP & Frontpage if it were hosted on a windows based server?
My hourly rate ?
That depends on what I'm asked to do and by whom...
And yes, your host is correct in their eaplanation of the file system, although you can still get certain problems on a Windows based server, depending very much on how it has been set up.
Give us the URL when your site is finished and we'll have a look.
Good luck with it.
It's gonna be a while, but yes I'll give the the URL and username & password as it's members only & you "Shouldn't" be able to access it without them.

How easy it is to put together a very professional-looking site with FP? Once you know what to do of course.
The point is that working in FP is a great way to teach yourself web design, and although it may take you a while to acquire the knowledge of the software necessary to equal Taran's excellent example, you can do it.
When I first started out designing sites I had to learn to laboriously hand-code everything, and as Taran rightly says - it's still handy to be able to do a bit of tweaking in notepad from time to time. It's far from necessary however, FP will turn out an excellent site all on its own - all you have to do is have the design sense to make it look good, and the ability to succeed with the other most important ingredient of a decent site - the navigation structure.
It will not come as a great surprise to learn that I'm a FrontPage fan - especially of the latest version (FP 2003) which will hit the shelves later this summer/early autumn. That version is bursting with possibilities, and I personally think that the Microsoft developers have really given us a tool that we can go to work with in FP 2003.
We'll look forward to seeing more of your FP sites as time goes on.
If that only took you about 3 hours, I wouldn't mind seeing one you have spent some time on :-)
Joking apart though. I have to say that in the short time this forum has been running I have gained more of an insite to web design etc than I would have reading many a book. Especially as a lot of the comments come from the 'horses mouth' so to speak.
Having tried FP98 and not liking it one bit, that put me off looking at FP2000/2. Perhaps I should reconsider and have a look at FP2002, and think about 'another' re-design of my site.
The longest part of that site was typing out all the text.
I'm a little disappointed that nobody has picked me up on any of the Red Herrings I left in there (typos), but I guess you're all far too gracious to point them out to me.
The whole point to the site was to demonstrate rapid development of a framework with an overall pleasing to the eye look.
Part of the tweaking process I mentioned would entail lengthy proof reading and testing in different browsers, and so far I have done nothing along those lines. It's quite raw, but not too bad all things considered.
If you download the site root folder and browse the files in there you can see by the file properties that some of the pages were created two days ago and modified today, while some were cobbled together only this morning. As I've said, cross browser testing and proof reading (among other things) would have been part of an ongoing testing process prior to allowing the site to go live, but I wanted to demonstrate that FrontPage can;
1. produce a professional looking site and not be limited to or rely on one or more of the themes and tempates it ships with (although these are fine for learning the program)
2. produce a site in half the time required using most other WYSIWYG editors (at least where I am concerned)
3. challenge the opinions of those who sneer at it by its output.
I'll run the site through some alternative browsers over then next few days and upload a new ZIP file of the root folder once I've done a thorough spellcheck and proof read.
Site development time is subjective anyway. I stayed with Dreamweaver for ages after coming to the conclusion that FrontPage 98 was absoutely God awful to work with. From version 2000 onwards though, FrontPage has shown itself to be an exellent development environment and once you get to grips with it, it's about the most efficient program I know of for getting a site up and running in short order. Keep in mind as well that I only created one image for the site - everything else is clip art from the MS Office collection.
Other programs may offer more for specialist use (PHP, ASP, ColdFusion and similar) but for general webbing nothing beats FrontPage, in my humble opinion of course.
The current version is superb and the soon to arrive version is out of this world.
Food for thought ?

Local Media Debates Ravens' Draft Strategy
We sat down with four local area sports figures and asked them to weigh in with their opinions on the Ravens 2016 NFL Draft. Our panelists include Clifton Brown from Comcast SportsNet (@CliftonBrownCSN), Jeremy Conn from 105.7 The Fan (@JeremyConn1057), Phil Gentile from Charm City Sports Network (@IHateJJRedick) and Ken Zalis from PressboxOnline.com (@FansFantasy).
Q: During the pre-draft luncheon Assistant GM Eric DeCosta said, "Every single year, there's a guy that gets drafted in the draft in the third, fourth, fifth, sixth round at wideout who emerges as one of the best players in the draft. Our task is to find that guy this year and get him on the team."
Give me 2 guys who could be "that guy" in the 2016 NFL Draft.
Clifton Brown ("CB"): Rashard Higgins, Colorado St. – I love his nickname, "Hollywood", and he runs smooth routes. Plus, the Ravens have had recent success with another Colorado St. product, tight end Crockett Gillmore.
Malcolm Mitchell, Georgia – He has faced top college corner playing in the SEC, and has held his own. Mitchell could provide some depth as a slot receiver.
The Ravens have four picks in the fourth round. If either Higgins or Mitchell is still on the board, the Ravens should pounce.
Jeremy Conn ("JC"): Paul McRoberts SE Missouri St – He has decent size 6-2 202lbs and great speed. Hands need to get better but that's something he can work on, he has great quickness and can get off of the line with ease.
Nelson Spruce Colorado 6-1 206… He may go undrafted but I really like this guy. He doesn't have great straight-line speed but he is a fantastic route runner and he has terrific hands. He is deceptively quick to create separation.
Phil Gentile ("PG"): Daniel Braverman (Western Michigan) is a Julian Edelman clone. Love his talent. He can step in and contribute to an NFL offense immediately. Perfect slot guy. Kind of what they wanted Michael Campanaro to be.
Another name is Keyarris Garrett out of Tulsa. Led the nation with 1,588 receiving yards. He's 6'3″ and ran a 4.53 40-yard dash. Has all the tools to be a playmaker with the right coaching.
Ken Zalis ("KZ"): Round 2, Pick 6: Charone Peake (Clemson), 6-foot-2, 209 pounds
Despite his smallish hands, Peake possesses an outstanding combination of size, length and deep speed. He looks like a No. 1 receiver. He has excellent acceleration into routes. He's a big athlete with some sneaky moves underneath to separate in tight spaces. He lacked production at the college level. Peake reminds me of Pittsburgh's Martavis Bryant.
Round 4, Pick 6: Pharoh Cooper (South Carolina), 5-foot-11, 203 pounds
Cooper is strong with an excellent burst off the line of scrimmage. He has a limited route tree at this point of his development, but he breaks tackles and does not shy away from contact.
Q: Is Notre Dame tackle closer in ability to Laremy Tunsil or to the other Big 10 tackles, Jack Conklin from Michigan State or Taylor Decker from Ohio State? Pick a current NFL player who is a good benchmark for Stanley's ceiling as a pro.
KZ: He reminds me of Riley Reiff from IOWA in the 2012 Draft. Plays for Detroit Lions…adequate LT but probably will get moved to OG or RT in a few years.
PG: I think Stanley is closer to Tunsil talent-wise only because they are both projected as left tackles where as Conkin and Decker are seen as right tackles. If I had to compare Stanley to a current NFL player, size-wise and skill-wise to former Seahawks 1st round pick Walter Jones. Jones played 12 seasons as the Seahawks starting left tackle and that's what the Ravens could potentially get if they make the "unsexy" decision to draft Stanley.
CB: I'd say Stanley is closer to Tunsil. If he improves his strength, I think Stanley could ultimately be better than Tunsil. At the combine, Stanley took exception to being called a finesse player. I like that. I think Stanley wants to prove he has a nasty streak. The NFL player I would compare Stanley to is Matt Kalil, the starting left tackle for the Vikings who went fourth overall in 2012.
JC: Hard for me to judge these guys, Tunsil is clearly the best. We have seen a bunch of Tackles in years past struggle at this level. It's such a tough position to pick in my opinion.
Q: Will the Ravens stay put at No. 6?
JC: I think the Ravens will stay put at 6. I've been saying that they would take Myles Jack if he is there, but for some reason I believe it's going to be DeForest Buckner. I always check out what Daniel Jeremiah of the NFL Network thinks. He was a former Ravens scout and he knows how the front offense looks at players and he likes Buckner and more experts are jumping on board with that player.
PG: My gut tells me they trade down. The Ravens roster is severely lacking depth across the board and adding a couple high draft picks could give this team the youth they need to stay relevant in the AFC. It will come down to demand for the quarterbacks in the top five whether or not the Ravens start getting phone calls for the 6th pick.
KZ: Well right now the tealeaves say Buckner but that assumes a QB is taken in the first 5 picks. IF no QB in the first 5 picks, I truly think the Ravens trade back, but this assumes they stay put…so Buckner if a QB goes somewhere in picks 1 thru 5, If no QB I will say they select Vernon Hargreaves, CB, Florida.
CB: I think the Ravens will stay put at No. 6 and draft inside linebacker Myles Jack of UCLA. Jack's ability as a three-down linebacker, playing next to C. J. Mosley, would make the Ravens better against both the run and the pass. Jack would be an upgrade over Daryl Smith, and Jack's ability to cover tight ends and running backs would help the Ravens' defense get off the field on third down. If the Ravens trade down, they shouldn't trade out of the top 10. They need to make sure they get an immediate impact player, and they already have a nice stockpile of draft picks.
Q. The Ravens pick at No. 36 is probably their most intriguing. Give me the player that you think could be available at that pick that fits a need and has a first-round grade.
PG: Well if I think the Ravens are trading back in the first round that obviously means they don't land Joey Bosa, so pass rush is still a need. Oklahoma State's Emmanuel Ogbah is a freak of nature who will drop to the second round since he doesn't seem to play hard on every down. You can't argue with production, though, and the kid had 13 sacks in his junior year. Guys that get sacks in college tend to find ways to get them on Sundays and I think Ogbah could be a steal with the 36th pick.
JC: I love Tyler Boyd, WR out of Pitt and I also agree on Emmanuel Ogbah DE/OLB – an intriguing player that should be available at the beginning of the second round.
CB: Clemson cornerback Mackensie Alexander should be available at No. 36, and if he is, the Ravens should take him. A few other cornerbacks have created more pre-draft buzz, like Eli Apple of Ohio St. and William Jackson of Houston. So I think Alexander will fall to Round 2. But I think Alexander has the cover skills to help the Ravens in the slot. Yes, I know Alexander doesn't have any career interceptions, but I love the confidence he plays with at 5-foot-10. I think he's going to be a solid corner.
KZ: I think the team is hoping for a fall for Noah Spence, OLB, Western Kentucky via Ohio State, but a name to remember is Kamalei Correa, OLB Boise State.
Q: If healthy Notre Dame LB Jaylon Smith could be this draft's No. 1 overall pick. Where will he go in this draft if there isn't a clear prognosis for his injury by April 28?
KZ: I think someone takes a shot on him in the 2nd round. The talent is too good on tape. We have heard stories this week of him squatting 400 to 600 pounds, so that seems to be some good news for Jaylon.
CB: I don't see any team taking Jaylon Smith before the third round. It's just too much of a risk. I think he'll go in the fourth round, as a luxury pick to team already strong on defense like the Panthers, Broncos, Seahawks, or even the Bengals. Hopefully, Smith recovers and becomes the player he once was. He looked special before his injury.
JC: I think someone will snag him in the second round. Someone will see value with him there.
PG: I wouldn't take him until the 3rd or 4th round. You're absolutely right he's a special talent when healthy (probably a top 3 talent) but he literally needs to regrow a ligament in his knee before he can even think about playing football again. A team like the Seahawks or Broncos could take a gamble on him early but the Ravens don't have that luxury. They need 3-4 starters from this draft and Jaylon Smith will need to watch from the sidelines in 2016…if not longer. No thanks.
Q: What players in this draft are the most overrated and underrated.
PG: Sorry Cliff but for me the most overrated is CB Mackensie Alexander. I can't see drafting a guy in the 1st round that didn't record a single interception during his time at Clemson. Not a deal breaker, but there are other talented cornerbacks in this draft class I would take before him.
Underrated? How about the most underrated (or unheralded) position in football? Ryan Kelly from Alabama (6'4″, 311 lbs.) will be your center for the next decade. People laughed when the Cowboys took Travis Frederick a couple years ago and now they have the best offensive line in the game. Ravens fans have seen what a bad offensive line does to an offense. It ain't pretty.
CB: No worries Phil. For most overrated, I'd vote for Ole Miss defensive tackle Robert Nkemdiche. He's talented, but I'm worried about him off the field, and he's inconsistent on tape. Nkemdiche has the ability to be a superb NFL player. But from a distance, I see too much Albert Haynesworth in him. The Ravens brought Nkemdiche in for a visit, but I think they should stay away from him.
For most underrated, I'd go with Wisconsin outside linebacker Joe Schobert. He's a three-down player who gives it his all every snap. With that stockpile of fourth-round picks, the Ravens could do worse than using one on Schobert, who might help their pass rush and reduce the number of snaps that Terrell Suggs and Elvis Dumervil need to play.
JC: Overrated? Pick a quarterback…I wouldn't take any of these guys with a top 10 pick.
Underrated- Ezekiel Elliott RB Ohio St…. He will be a superstar at this level, but RB's have been devalued because of the success of a lot of backups in the NFL. He may still be a top 10 pick but I think he is a top 5 player in this draft.
Tyler Boyd – WR PITT – I absolutely love the way he plays, big time playmaker.
Noah Spence – DE Eastern Kentucky… Explosive player, He has some off-field issues, which may cause him to slip in the draft.
KZ: OVER-RATED: William Jackson III, Houston is a great combine story but the tape shows an average player, also outside of the blazing 40 yard dash, his combine numbers were not great. He will go in round one, but buyer beware.
UNDER-RATED: Devontae Booker, RB, Utah is why the Ravens shouldn't take Elliott in round 1. Booker is a monster waiting to explode and he will be a late 2md to 3rd round pick.
Q: The Ravens turn in the card with the name of "this guy". Tell me which "this guy" would get you excited and which would trigger a big disappointment.
JC: If somehow Ramsey slipped to 6, I would be extremely excited… Would love to see Tyler Boyd show up here with the second round pick.
I'm never disappointed in anyone the Ravens pick; I know there is a method to their madness.
KZ: I am on record that I do not want Joey Bosa! He had a great sophomore year, then big 10 teams game planned for him and well 2015 wasn't a great year. 5 sacks…I can get a 5th rounder for that. I do not trust Ohio State front 7 guys and never will. John Simon anyone?
I will do cartwheels for Myles Jack or Jalen Ramsey. They are both game changers.
CB: The guy I'd be excited to see with the Ravens would be Arizona inside linebacker Scooby Wright. He's a playmaker who a non-stop motor, who could create more turnovers and help the pass rush with his blitzing. There are concerns about Wright's lack of size, but I think he has the instincts and quickness to excel. I'd consider Wright in the third round, and if he lasts until Round 4, I'd run to the podium for him.
The guy who would trigger disappointment would be Alabama running back Derrick Henry. I think the Ravens have enough running back depth, and I'm wary of recent Alabama backs.
PG: I really like Miles Killebrew, safety from Southern Utah. Tackling machine in the film I've watched. Could transition to linebacker. He's the type of defensive player we love here in Baltimore. Plus he has an awesome name.
While I think Laquan Treadwell is the top receiver in this draft class I can see why teams would value Corey Coleman, Baylor WR more. He has superstar ability and could be this year's Odell Beckham Jr. Coleman had 20 touchdowns in 2015…two more than Treadwell had his entire college career. He's not polished or a great route runner. He's just a touchdown machine and NFL teams value touchdowns last time I checked.

Ellen Terry
Life Path Number 4
Ellen Terry was a female celebrity.
She was born on Saturday February 27th 1847, in Coventry, England.
Ellen Terry is practical, down to earth with strong ideas about right and wrong. She is orderly and organized, systematic and controlled. Decisive and methodical Ellen is employing a step by step rational approach to problems solving, and once committed - she does not give up easily!
Dame Terry is not one for "get rich quick" schemes. Seeking to establish a solid foundation, Ellen Terry would rather use hard work and long hours to build a business or career. Precise, tenacious and persevering, she has great potential for success, but only after putting out effort and overcoming the limitations she so often encounters. Justice and honesty are sacred to Ellen. She is reliable and dependable, a cornerstone in the community.
Though not an idealist, Ellen Terry is willing to work for a better world in a realistic way. However, she can be rigid in her ideas and sometimes too quick in judging her fellow man. She is loyal to those she loves and works well with others. It is important that while being part of a team Dame Terry has her own responsibility and well-defined task; she performs better when her responsibilities are not overlapping with those of others. Ellen Terry has to be careful not to be bossy and rude. She possesses rare discipline and perseverance and not everyone can keep up with her.
Ellen can handle money carefully and likes the security of a nest egg.
Dame Terry's love of work often leads her into a career early in life. Because of her methodical nature Ellen can easily become rigid and stuck in convention. She can also be overly cautious when changes are necessary, this can cause her to miss opportunities that present themselves. Ellen Terry must cultivate flexibility in her character. She is well suited for marriage and often becomes a responsible loving parent. However, anything that violates Ellen's profound sense of order, such as separation or divorce can be a shattering experience for her. Ellen Terry easily becomes obsessed and even vengeful, seeking her own definition of justice.
Ellen is courageous and a true survivor. She is a builder and the foundation of any enterprise. Her hard work and practical, traditional values pay off to provide Ellen Terry with the rewards she seeks and deserves.

COLUMBIA — Gov. Nikki Haley has appointed a retired Air Force brigadier general and former University of South Carolina administrator to lead the state's Commission on Higher Education.
John Finan is again coming out of retirement to take a leading role in state government. He last ran the Department of Employment and Workforce.
Former Gov. Mark Sanford appointed him interim director in 2010 after a law that revamped the unemployment agency and put it in the governor's Cabinet.
Finan left that position last September. When asked whether he would be willing to take the higher education job, he jumped at the opportunity, he said.
Finan replaces former Chairman Ken Wingate, who resigned in August after his four-year term ended. State law limits the position to one term.
Finan said a top priority will be hiring a replacement for former Executive Director Garrison Walters, who retired in February after nearly five years.
Finan will first meet with staffers today.
The agency is tasked with coordinating the missions of South Carolina's 33 two-year and four-year public colleges. Its duties include evaluating college programs, approving new ones and making budget recommendations to state lawmakers. But legislative critics contend it's become little more than a college advocacy group.
Finan said he would like to see the agency's role strengthened.
The commission consists of 14 members appointed by the governor. The terms of all but three have expired. Eight others, besides Wingate's, expired July 1. One spot is vacant.
Others have stayed on past their expired terms, including those that expired in 2010 and 2008.
A 15th member will be added from the state's new 7th Congressional District.
Haley campaigned on changing how public colleges are funded.
She met with college presidents about it shortly after her inauguration in January 2011. At a joint news conference, she announced that she had asked them to come up with a way to evaluate their schools based on their graduation rates, how many of their students come from outside the state, and their contributions to the economy.
College presidents praised her tone of cooperation after years of bashing from Sanford.
But the effort seems to have waned since.
One sticking point is how to measure the economic development contributions of 33 publicly supported colleges that vary in size and mission. They include research universities, other four-year universities, regional two-year campuses and technical colleges.
Finan said college leaders are working on a system agreeable to all.
"There are metrics I believe universities and colleges can agree on, that are good for both the public and universities," he said.
Finan's 13 years of experience in college administration includes several years as a budget director at the Air Force Academy in Colorado. After retiring from the military in 1993, he worked as a vice president of business at the University of South Carolina and chief financial officer of Rowan University in New Jersey.
Commission board members draw no salary but receive mileage and per diems.

Chris Whitwood, Yorkshire Party, launches campaign to become Doncaster Mayor. Pledges to Make Doncaster Great Again - and to Campaign for Doncaster to Become a City.
Chris Whitwood, a trained Primary School teacher, Doncaster town centre resident, and Deputy Leader of the Yorkshire Party, has today (Tuesday 14th March) launched his campaign to be elected Mayor of Doncaster this May.
Chris, who last month pioneered the first meeting of the 'Doncaster Street Makers' organisation, made up of a group of volunteers focussed on improving local areas within Doncaster Borough, has pledged that his campaign will focus on ideas to make Doncaster a place anyone would be proud to call home. To make Doncaster great again.
Chris, who is also standing for Doncaster Council in Town Ward, explained:
"In the last nine months I've spoken to hundreds of people from around Doncaster, to try to understand what I could do to help improve our town. Everyone has had different ideas - but nearly everyone I've spoken to has used the same word when speaking to me. That word is neglect.
"So many people tell me that they feel Doncaster was once a place they could be proud to call home, but that the Labour Party and Doncaster Council's neglect has left the town a shadow of its former self. I am campaigning to change that. I am campaigning to stop the neglect. I am campaigning to make Doncaster great again."
Make Doncaster a City
Chris's mayoral campaign will launch five key policies, in the next five weeks, to outline his vision for a Doncaster that truly starts to fulfil its potential.
The first of these policies is to campaign to pull Doncaster out of Sheffield City Region and make Doncaster a city in its own right.
Chris continued:
"Doncaster deserves so much more than Labour's vision for our town - to be subsumed into 'Sheffield City Region'. I live in Doncaster, not some suburb of Sheffield.
"However I think, for Doncaster to truly enjoy the recognition it deserves, we must do more than just pull out of Sheffield City Region. For Doncaster to get the recognition it deserves, we must stop being a South Yorkshire town, and become a great Yorkshire city.
"Becoming a city would give Doncaster a real presence, nationally and across the world. It is easy for Westminster to ignore a town neglected and left to decline by its own Council.
"By becoming a city, Doncaster would be telling the rest of the UK, and the world, that we're no longer willing to gently decline and slip into obscurity. That we want more. We want a fairer stronger and more prosperous Yorkshire for everyone. We want to realise our town's potential and make Doncaster great again."

What is Reiki?
Pronounced "ray-key". The word "Reiki" means "universal life force energy" that is spiritually-guided. It is an ancient rediscovered healing art. A gentle, non-invasive healing energy that at its core is unconditional love. Not religious by nature, so everyone can benefit. Widely known for its benefits of stress reduction and for promoting relaxation. It helps balance the mind, body, and spirit by releasing stuck, old outdated energy patterns and memories. It is very nurturing.
Animals can benefit greatly from a session, whether in person or long distance. It can be especially helpful to send long distance Reiki for animals that are too sick, can't travel, or do not do well with other people. It is wonderful at calming an anxious or fearful animal. The energy can also support chronic health conditions, help release past trauma memories stored in their body, and help support them in loving energy when it's time for them to transition.
Benefits of Reiki for People and Animals:
- Deep relaxation.
- Boosts immune system.
- Helps balance emotions.
- Assists in balancing hormones.
- Grief support.
- Increases circulation to muscles and joints.
- Speeds recovery after surgery or trauma.
- Helps with adrenal fatigue and burnout.
- Non-invasive and gentle.
- Works in harmony with conventional medicine.
- Surrounds transitioning loved one or animal in love and peace.

Testimonial for long distance Reiki for an animal:
He had a GREAT day today -- super great!! He played like a little kitten outside on the deck and even chased his tail -- AND a wasp!! Oh no! Then this evening when I got home he looked fantastic, was alert, mischievous, got in trouble a couple of times -- which is just WONDERFUL!, had big appetite, and then gave me a big kiss by "snoofing" (rubbing) his nose against my nose. And he is still up roaming around when the other younger cats have been sacked out for hours. He is looking better than he has for months!! So thank you so much for your part in getting his mojo back.

And to do that...I am taking some time to organize and clean my house.....I don't know how many of you are like this, but creating and cleaning don't go hand and hand for me. lol In fact, the opposite is true, for me and I have been seriously creating for the past couple of years....don't think I don't clean, I'm talking about the deep cleaning...closets and baseboards and clutter. It was just about this time last year that I did my studio overhaul, so it is definitely time. You many see a little less of me until I get this stuff straightened out a bit.
And I can't post without something to share.....a precious moment when Em met one of her favorite princesses at Disney World.
I am really working on the journaling and finding it very satisfying.
I painted this Prima Paintable with Shimmerz Paints and Spritz - it just glows.
A shot to show some of the dimension I put into this piece.
Emma paid me the highest compliment when she saw this.....it is hanging in her room, at her request.
I'll see you soon,

In President Donald Trump's address to joint sessions of Congress, he announced the White House is planning to unveil a new executive order on immigration tailored to respond to recent court rulings. As you may know, federal judges put a hold on the President's original executive order banning travelers from seven majority-Muslim countries to enter the US.
Civil rights groups cited concerns that the original order violated rights of immigrants and that the law could discriminate against others on the basis of religion. While it's not clear whether the new order will fix these issues, I want to take a moment to stress the importance of why diversity is essential in the U.S. – and especially in the biotech and healthcare industries.
As an immigrant, entrepreneur, and not yet U.S. citizen (permanent resident), I believe it is a travesty when we do not embrace diversity and celebrate the various cultures that make this country a strong and unstoppable force in the world.
For over 200 years, the U.S. has been a beacon of hope for those looking for freedom and a safe haven for those in need. This country represents an array of ethnic, cultural, and religious backgrounds; it is a nation of immigrants – painting a complex picture of what it means to be an American. We not only embrace diversity, but we need it.
Diversity is a source of strength. It is critical for a company's ability to innovate and survive in a fast-changing environment. In fact, workforce diversity and inclusion is a key driver of internal innovation and business growth, according to a Forbes study. Diversity is necessary to achieve innovation and ultimately business success. This is especially true in the healthcare and tech industries where lives hang in the balance everyday.
In the tech industry, the current CEOs of Microsoft, Google, and Oracle were all born overseas. When you look at the health and biotech industry, the U.S. is the world's greatest developer of medicines and new inventions to treat devastating diseases. To that end, a study found that in 2014, 52% of the 69,000 biomedical researchers in the U.S. are foreign-born.1 I strongly believe that diversity is what makes the U.S. such a medical powerhouse.
In a letter penned by tech leaders speaking out against the President's immigration ban, they note that immigrant entrepreneurs have contributed to some of the biggest tech companies. Sergey Brin, a co-founder of Google, came to the U.S. as a 6-year-old refugee from the Soviet Union. The letter states: "More than half of the companies on the current list of U.S. technology startups valued at $1 billion or more were started by immigrants."
From my perspective, I have experienced and understand the positive impact diversity has not only on this country, but for our company in particular. OncoSec would not exist without diversity – let alone be able to develop innovative technologies aimed at solving a great unmet need in oncology. I take great pride in the fact that OncoSec is an organization that takes diversity and inclusion seriously, and you can see our efforts reflected in our workforce.
We as a country should be doing everything in our power to attract entrepreneurs and visionaries from all over the world to the U.S. – not turning them away in a time of need. I will continue to advocate on this important topic and hope that the U.S. will continue to embrace diversity and immigration – as it has done from the very beginning.
The statements or opinions expressed on this site are my own and do not necessarily represent those of my employer OncoSec Medical Incorporated.

Rangers close in on signing Honduras international Arnold Peralta
Honduran midfielder Arnold Peralta is hopeful that he will agree a deal to take him to Rangers by the end of this week.
By Tim Oscroft
Last Updated: 29/05/13 10:28am
The 24-year-old is without a club following his departure from Deportivo Vida in his homeland.
Peralta was part of the Honduran team that progressed to the quarter-finals at the London Olympics, and has played for his country 13 times.
"We still have not quite signed the papers to complete the transfer but I am hoping it will happen this week," said Peralta in the Daily Record.
Rangers have recently added Nicky Law, Jon Daly and Nicky Clarke to their ranks following the end of their Third Division-title winning campaign.
The club is currently under a transfer embargo, with their new players unable to appear in action until 1 September.

The Westminster looks like a forerunner to the Gillio Mia Cara.ReplyDelete
Thanks for posting these catalogs, Steve. I recently found my Filofax USA catalog from around 2006 and saw that there was a Denim model. I can't imagine that the smell of that Filofax was much to write home about. ;-)ReplyDelete
Thanks, Steve, I'm also really enjoying seeing these old catalogues.ReplyDelete
The priced! Wow. You can see why you got more quality; $160 in 1999 was pretty big bucks.ReplyDelete

Windows 7 Ultimate 64
Don't get caught up on spec's as they are easily cooked by the manufacturers. What is your budget and which one LG/Samsung fit's into the budget better? If in doubt and money isn't an issue then go with the Samsung and get the biggest screen you can afford.....imho. The price jump from 23"-24"+ was huge but if it wasn't I would have for sure gone with even larger screens as I had gone from a single LCD TV @ 26" to the dual 23" LG's. Do you have a local store near that carries a wide range of monitors so you can go see and play with? If not then you can only read what users are saying about them as I did and when I settled for the LG's it was the raves that convinced me to buy. In the end the raves are well warranted but the Samsung's got crazy raves as well. Try to get your hands and eyes directly on the two and you likely will come to a quicker conclusion......don't place too much value on the spec's as they like your mileage "may vary" ! lol

Israeli-Palestinian orchestra speak on music and peace
Musicians from the West-Eastern Divan Orchestra for Peace, released a statement, expressing their views on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, before a concert at the Scala of Milan last Sunday.
Created in 1999 by the conductor Daniel Barenboim, who is both an Israeli and Palestinian citizen with the Palestinian university professor and essayist Edward Said the orchestra is symbolically made up by Arab and Israeli musicians, united by strong sentiments of friendship and unity for peace and against militarism and owes its unusual name to an anthology of poems by the German Johann Wolfgang Goethe.
Speaking to reporters, Barenboim said: "Music can do what politics and the society cannot. Isn't it maybe more naïve to think that any problem can be resolved militarily, given that every military actions has so far failed, leading to the loss of innumerable innocent lives?... Where did the intelligence and conscience of Jews like the philosopher Baruch Spinoza go?"
In their statement, the musicians said:
"We, the members of the West-Eastern Divan Orchestra, are convinced that there is no military solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The last decades proved the futility of this type of reasoning, and we represent an alternative model based on equality, cooperation and justice for all.
"This alternative model is not utopia. It has been put to the test for 10 years, obtaining evident musical results and allowing each member of the orchestra to change their perspective and have a profound understanding of the "other".
"We aspire to a total liberty and equality among Israelis and Palestinians, and it is on this basis that we are here today to make music. The actions of the Israeli government of the past two weeks are not the way to resolve the existential differences. The actions of Hamas do not contribute to creating mutual trust.
"We deplore any action that results in the death of civilians. We call for an immediate repudiation of all violence, which will lead to honest and just negotiations between all the sides involved, without exceptions.
"A cease-fire is merely the start and will undeniably build the foundation of coexistence between the two populations, whose destinies are intimately tied; only with a step toward Palestinian independence and reciprocal recognition. A sovereign Palestinian state can only really exist with the end of the occupation. The Palestinians must be guaranteed the same freedom and independence that Israel has since 1948. The Israeli-Palestinian conflict is a conflict between two populations that are profoundly convinced of their right to live in the same land, and must accept their mutual rights to do so.
"The time has come, after so much bloodshed, to find a lasting solution of coexistence rather than short-term tactical remedies. In this spirit, we hope that you enjoy today's concert". "

text: A tale of desperation and the struggle for points and fulfilment in a world where both seem impossible. The game highlights the emotional and physical hothouse effects that bloom for two distressed teams beginning their seasons like rats in a rum barrel: Fulham, behind a placid exterior, hide an untapped intelligence and a yearning for something beyond the emptiness of mid-table safety; Blackburn are arrogant, spoiled and cynical. These complete opposites are united by an urgent desire for more and more and more and more. Triumph for one can only mean disaster for the other. Misery waits.

Plants-4-Hunger (Gift-Giving)
Say NO to Farm Animals as "Gifts"
Help People AND Animals!
Plants-4-Hunger is our campaign that feeds children without using animals.
Instead of using animal-based foods or "gift-pigs" as food from an organization such as Heifer International, your gift will support on-the-ground, animal-free hunger relief projects serving some of the world's most deprived and in need children. Our four hand-picked programs are detailed below.
We send 100% Plants-4-Hunger donations to the groups below that provide both immediate assistance and long-term solutions.
How it Works
Below are the four projects that will equally share your gift-donation.
When donating, choose "Tribute – In Honor Of" (if it's a gift) — and "Plants-4-Hunger" in the program drop-down menu. You can also leave a note in the comment field or e-mail email@example.com with details.
We will mail a personalized card and our info booklet to your recipient (if an address is provided) or send an e-mail notification. For immediate use, here's our color printout that can be added to your own card.
Many people also choose to make a regular donation… you do NOT need a gift recipient to help.
Click the banner on the left to donate by credit card, or click the donate button below for PayPal.
International Fund for Africa provides immediate and long-term assistance to some of the world's most vulnerable children through their new innovative and multi-prong School Health and Nutrition Program.
In addition to funding local staff and equipment, the program builds income-generating bakeries and produce gardens to increase long-term sustainability.
In each of five schools, about one hundred of the children who are in the most dire need receive a daily meal, health monitoring, and vaccinations.
Annamrita: Food For Life partners with organizations and leverages government incentives to provide lunches at schools in eight states with their Mid-Day Meals Program.
This vegan lunch program not only reduces malnutrition so students can learn better, it attracts children from disadvantaged areas. With special attention to girl's empowerment, it helps the next generation's family.
Food is efficiently prepared in centralized locations to produce large amounts of quality food at extremely low cost.
Plenty International works with agricultural experts to grow and distribute three varieties of non-GMO soybeans to farming families.
Their Karen's Nutrition Program works with women to improve the nutrition of undernourished children living in extreme poverty at the Guatemala City landfill.
Local women's groups produce enough fortified bakery foods (including nutrition-packed vegan "cookies") and soy milk to distribute to 400 children living at the dump site and to sell for other expenses.
Grow Where You Are is a team of veganic farmers and food justice activists empowering people to improve their food security by planting backyard and community food gardens. These gardens drastically increase families' access to fresh fruits and vegetables in urban food deserts.
Grow Where You Are and MaituFoods also directly provide food to school lunch programs and run a summer camp where they teach veganic farming skills to young people.
They further increase their impact by partnering with churches to install organic micro-farms on unused land in struggling neighborhoods.

|Minimum Stay
|5 - 7 nights
**Minimum Night Stay Requirements May Vary**
A handsome, traditional house of log and mortar over stacked stone, MOOSEHEAD CABIN is centered amongst a cluster of Granite Ridge Cabins on a wooded hillside over Teton Village. One open, high-ceilinged room forms the heart of the cabin, where the living, dining and kitchen areas are lit by floods of light from the big windows and warmed by the fire in the stone hearth. Rich oriental rugs lie upon the floor and fine art hangs on the walls. Decorative "nailheads" detail the massive beams overhead; hand-built furniture adds an atmosphere of rustic luxury and whimsy to this wonderful home. True to its name, a majestic moose head surveys the Great Room from its mount above the mantelpiece.
From the Great Room – where a long taupe sofa can be pulled out into a queen bed – a ladder climbs up to a romantic sleeping loft with a queen-size bed. A bear skin rug and cowhide pillows make sleeping in the loft feel like old-time camping, and the sound of the crackling fire in the Great Room below provides a little night music.
Moosehead Cabin has a sunny, airy lower level with two bedrooms, each with a private bath and a TV. In the first, a sturdy log bed faces a reading area and a trio of mullioned windows. A TV rests upon a rustic dresser, a matching armoire stands nearby and a hide rug is spread over soft carpeting. A door opens to the lower terrace with its long view of the ski slopes. In the bathroom, a deep oval soaking tub stands next to a separate, tiled shower. The second bedroom has two twin beds spread with pretty flowered coverlets and an isinglass lamp between them. The beds can easily be converted into a single king bed upon request. In the bathroom – just past the walk-in closet – double sinks are set into gorgeous mission-style wood cabinetry; there is a tub/shower combo and a separate water closet.
From the lower stone terrace, Teton Village and the great rising slopes are spread out in full array. The wood deck above feels like a treehouse, lofty, private and screened by the aspens; many a fine evening may be spent cooking dinner out on the big gas grill, dining at the picnic table and relaxing afterwards in the hot tub, while the bright red tram ascends the mountainside and the stars wheel overhead.
Moosehead Cabin is positively magical in winter and summer alike, a festive, welcoming retreat right in the middle of one of the most gorgeous places in the world. Lantern-lit pathways lead from house to house down to the village, where shops, restaurants and world-class adventures can be found in abundance. A two-minute walk (or one-minute ski) will take you across to the legendary ski slopes of Teton Village, the Four Seasons Resort and the Snake River Lodge and Spa; and a mere five minutes in the car will bring you to the immense, craggy solitude of Grand Teton National park.
Fly Fishing, Great Restaurants, Proximity to all Teton Village Activities including The Grand Teton Music Festival and world class skiing!

A/N: Hello all! Sooo sorry it's been such a long time since the last chapter, but I want to say again that I will never abandon a fic…ever. It's been super psycho the last couple months; I've literally had to put the whole rest of my life on hold as I adapt to a new job, a bro married, a bro divorcing, still trying to get my finances in order so I can get back into college…blah, blah, blah. Throw family health problems into the fray and it gets even more fun…. Anyhow, Merry belated Christmas for those of you who celebrate that, as well as all the other 'winter' holidays: Hanukah, Kwanzaa, and so on. Happy New Year as well! Well, again, thanks for waiting, I'm happy to say we're nearly done with this fic! So, here we go…onward!
Aladdin & the Heirs of Magic Ch. 114: Woven and Bound
Desdane drew himself up and stretched a hand towards them. Blood flames rippled menacingly over his skin.
"It is far past time we end this," he coolly avowed.
Eden met Genie's eyes; Sadira held back when the genies wordlessly agreed on something and lunged at the old sorcerer together.
A small object flew out from Desdane's robes as he was flung against the far wall.
Epiphany dawned in Sadira and she sprinted for it as sounds of grappling erupted behind her. She blew out a relieved breath that she'd remembered to summon up her Emerald Mantle and ruby medallion before confronting Desdane again.
She berated herself for not retrieving her Scepter though.
Once her quarry was stashed in her aqua sash, she spun around hearing Al call out and Farid snarl in retaliation.
She ran for them; Al was already trying to wrestle down his brother, covering his mouth so the other wizard couldn't speak any spells.
Sadira felt something warm in her pocket-the Mystic Blue Diamond!
She gasped and desperately fished it out, gesturing for Al to let the Farid up. The Bloodknife's magic was supposedly unstoppable, but an idea lit in her mind—she had to try.
Aladdin threw her an incredulous look, as if he could read her thoughts.
"Do it," she pressed, pulling the ring out so Farid could see it.
The dark eyed mage instantly stilled upon glimpsing it; his lips parting in what Sadira hoped was recognition as she held the sparkling azure stone a little higher. The ring's magic tingled through her thin fingers; stirring the bond it had made between her and the oppressed wizard.
Al took a slow, subtle step away from Farid, giving Sadira a hopeful, pleading look.
"Al, leave," she said, keeping her eyes locked on Farid.
Aladdin gaped at her, and took a breath to argue; brotherly instinct kicking in, Sadira guessed.
Al was sometimes too loyal for his own good.
Behind them, Genie and Eden jointly blasted Desdane down a staircase beside the balcony doors.
"Do it," Sadira cut in, "go help Genie."
Al gulped hard, looked worriedly at Farid, but nodded.
He moved slowly to the stairs so as to not spook Farid from his transfixed state, vanishing after the others.
Sadira hoped it was struggle she could see in those dark eyes staring back at her.
She hoped that the ring was enough to bring him back; that somehow it could overpower the Bloodknife, in spite of what the legends all said.
The crimson gash on his flesh palm made her cringe.
She waited until Al's footsteps faded away before taking a careful step closer to Farid. Those dark eyes riveted from the glinting stone to her face; his expression less sleepy, but twitched with aggression as she drew near. She stopped, not wanting to provoke him.
"It's me, Farid," she softly told him, "Sadira," her lips quirked into a humored smirk for a second as she recalled something, "you know? 'Sand mouse.'"
Something that resembled amusement—and recognition?—flicked across otherwise vacant eyes. Hope kindled in her. "You gave me this, remember? The ring," and she watched with bated breath as his gaze returned to the stone as she took another step. Her heart raced when she realized that awareness was slowly creeping back into his expression. She pushed gently, "I…I never asked you to," it was suddenly harder to breath as her throat closed—why, why WHY had he drained so much of his magic to protect her?!—"but you did,"-oh, blast, were those tears she felt coming!?—"why?" She tried to force the walls down and offer him as sincere a look as she could; he was so infernally cynical about people after all. "Why did you do it?"
He was so infernally cynical about people, after all.
Pale lips parted and concern welled up in Sadira as Farid began to shiver, his already alabaster skin paling; there was no longer the flare of defiance in his eyes, of tiny sparks of fight.
His eyes were broken, and mournful.
Sadira could feel it, through the ring. Poised between them it was holding much of the Bloodknife's influence at bay. It bound Farid to her; and as Desdane was no longer in the chamber with them, the Bloodknife's power was waned.
Waned enough perhaps to reach him? Sadira had sent Al away because if Farid attacked, she didn't want brother to fight brother; without his Aura Al was vulnerable now anyways.
It had to be her.
Was her faith in Farid for nothing? Most had thought so.
The time had come to find out.
"I know you're still in there, Farid," she entreated, "you're too stubborn to just give up."
Farid took a step away from her, shaking harder.
"Farid, I know you've endured horrible things," and Sadira flinched guiltily when Farid made a strangled sound, and he shrank from her more, his back finally meeting the wall, "but I also know you're not gone; you wouldn't just leave Xerxes, he needs you to take care of him."
Farid winced; Sadira caught her breath as suddenly, like a warning flare, panic…desperation flashed in his eyes.
Groaning, Farid buckled over and clutched his brow; the sand witch gulped.
Thank the fates; she had been right.
He was fighting.
Farid was still in there…and he was fighting the Bloodknife.
Sadira ran to him when he panted in pain and sank to the floor.
"Farid! Farid!" she seized his arms and turned him up to face her. His flesh hand grasped her upper arm seemingly of its own volition and Sadira hissed in pain.
"C…can't," Farid forced out, his eyes glassy with agony when they met hers, "…stop."
'Can't fight it,' that's what he was saying.
She swallowed hard when it hit he also was asking her to stop him.
In other words: kill him.
Resolve swelled in her chest. "No," she firmly said, "I won't let you quit. You can't give up now. I won't explain to your father and Aladdin that you abandoned them."
His raw gaze impaled her; panicked and pleading. Sadira pressed the ring into his hand. "You gave me this to protect me, it's my turn to do the same for you."
Once the ring touched his skin Farid yelped in pain before buckling over into her lap. Sadira wrapped her arms around him reflexively, and blew out a breath of relief when his trembling tapered off.
"Fool…mouse," a harsh, panting voice rebuked her, and Sadira actually laughed. She didn't care if he was reproving her.
"You have no idea how wonderful it is to hear you complaining again," she said without thinking.
And then thought about it, which only made her laugh again.
A tired, dry chuckle met her ears. "Mouse."
His abruptly withered tone jarred her. She looked down as he forced himself with another groan to sit up. He was still shaking, albeit less.
He looked so ill; her insides twisted in worry.
"You have…to go…now," he flatly said.
"I won't just leave you," she protested, indignant. "After everything we've already been through?"
That mournful look was back, he glanced down at the ring. "You've…," he shook violently all the sudden and Sadira reached to steady him, but he held up a forestalling hand, "you've only warded off…inevitable. This ring," he choked and shuddered, recoiling on himself—the battle was still going on inside him, Sadira intuited—"it…only shields a little; but when I…run out of strength—"
"Which means you need your own magic back," Sadira put in.
"Desdane…locked it…in the Ruby…only he can command it out."
"Why? Because of the Bloodknife?"
Farid painfully nodded.
Farid riveted to her with a shocked expression. "'Good'?" he echoed in disbelief.
Sadira pulled out the object she'd retrieved from Desdane—
Farid gaped.
It was the Bloodknife.
Farid looked at it in bemusement. "When did you-?"
Sadira shook her head. "That doesn't matter. What matters is that we can undo what he did to you," she shrugged loosely, "or at the very least, overwhelm it."
Farid was clearly too busy fighting his inner battle to follow her line of thinking. He only gave her a bewildered look and hissed suddenly in pain. Sadira took his arm.
"There's way to do this Farid," she insisted—don't let him give up, don't let him give up—he choked again and went rigid and Sadira sensed the Bloodknife trying to reassert itself. She put the Bloodknife to his palm. "You were bound the Desdane against your will," she said over his yell of pain, "but if you bind yourself willingly to someone else, Desdane's hold will be beaten."
Farid shook his head forcefully, now understanding. "You…no," his voice was strangled by the inner conflict "not…want…not to me."
Sadira sobered. "I'm not giving you a choice, you can't leave us."
He stilled at that; everything inside of him—including the binding—thrown by what she'd said.
Us; she was including herself. Sadira stilled too; belatedly realizing the same.
There; she'd pretty much come out and said it then. No turning back.
The thought occurred to her she didn't want to turn back, regardless.
Around him she no longer felt so alone, that when she was with Aladdin and the others she was no longer the friend on the outside looking in. He was like her: another magician, another loner trying to navigate through life, trying to understand their place in it, their purpose.
And she'd gotten so used his little glimpses of humanity hidden beneath the sarcasm and contempt.
"No," he said again, cutting into her thoughts.
She took his palm and pressed the Knife to it; he weakly tried to wrench it away, but she held him fast.
From the stair case, sounds of battle echoed from the landing below; Sadira could feel a surge of darkness as Desdane's power consumed the chamber below them.
Farid's hand chilled. He glanced to the doorway and then her. "L…leave," he begged.
"No, I'm not leaving you," Sadira held his hand up with the Knife poised. "And I won't let you leave me."
Too many emotions to name wrenched Sadira's insides as they both froze at her words. Farid's gaze filled with numerous…something's that passed unsaid between them. The sounds below got louder. Something that sounded very large crashed violently against something else that sounded metallic.
"Say it," Sadira practically ordered, "agree willingly."
Farid shook his head.
Panic seared the magician's stomach as she felt Desdane close in. "Do it!"
Farid didn't relent. He tried again to yank his hand away. Sadira grasped frantically in her mind for options as Farid re-launched his battle not only against the Knife, but her too.
She knew he was only trying to protect her; no doubt deducing she'd seen inside his mind once before—and had nearly gone insane as a result.
He was shielding her from his personal hell. But if she let him; he'd doom himself.
She pulled his trembling form up to her, feeling the other sorcerer now closing in—which could only mean he bettered Genie and his friend.
She was shaking now too.
"Farid, you have two choices," her voice was hard laced with desperation and panic. "You either agree willingly,"—
Farid shook his head, sweat beaded on his pale brow—
Sadira's insides clenched. "Fine." She yanked his flesh wrist and pressed torn hand against hers. "Then I'll cut both of our hands with the Knife anyways."
"N….no!" Farid tried to wrench his hand from hers, but Sadira held him fast.
He was too weak from his inner battle to fight her too.
"You'll…doom…yourself," he panted out, begging her with those dark eyes to not do it.
Sadira leaned down so their noses nearly touched. "Then your only way to save me is to agree," she softly, meaningfully pointed out.
He stilled, lips parted to plead with her to not, to desert him to his fate.
Clearly the steel he saw in her face told him it was useless.
Dark closed in all around them. Desdane would return at any moment.
Farid jerked his gaze to the door, then her. "You…fool…mouse," he half bit out.
Sadira wasn't repulsed. "Say it," she practically snapped. There was no time left.
Now or never.
Farid realized it too, it seemed. His face sobered, and was that pity she saw staring back at her?
But when Genie, charred and blackened, shot out of the corridor, yelling, Sadira held back no longer—
She cut the Knife into her palm.
She wasn't dead.
Somehow, even though he'd sensed her leave this world, she'd found a way to come back.
He didn't know who had accomplished it; but he silently thanked them, whoever they were; she was still too new a mage to have uncovered the means on her own—he didn't know the secrets, and had trained for years longer than her.
The shock of seeing her had given his street rat brother the window to tackle him, to wrestle him to the ground; a tiny part of Farid's mind remembered to be startled that Aladdin had shown sense enough to keep a hand over his mouth to prevent spell uttering.
Even with his mind numbed with the thick fog of the Bloodknife's magic, Farid had felt the avalanche of disbelief plow down Desdane's hold over him.
The mouse assumed it was the ring's magic that had cut through the binding spell; no, it had been the shock wave of seeing her—alive—standing in that doorway that had cracked the oppressive fortress holding him prisoner in his own mind.
Infinite relief, like first light breaking through after the storm, gave way to the dark eclipse of fear.
He had battled the manacles in his thoughts even as he fought the terror of seeing her here, in the Citadel.
The Citadel; so very close to Desdane—too close.
He tried to make her understand he was lost, that there was no saving him; that she had to get away, to save herself.
But of course, of course, the stubborn mouse wouldn't listen. She pled for him to have hope, to fight.
For his family's sake—for Xerxes.
No; his father and Aladdin had each other, they didn't need him.
And the mouse could take care of Xerxes.
No one needed him to survive this, realism insidiously whispered in his ear.
But then she did the unthinkable, she included herself in the list.
Fresh amazement pulled him under, like a whirlpool into the unlit fathoms.
He pushed her words away, tried to ignore how they slashed across his heart like talons, how he wanted—wanted, wanted, WANTED—to listen, to imagine possibilities unknown to him until now—but NO.
Giving in to that temptation would be the end of them all—her included.
And he couldn't allow that.
But then, she revealed once again that she could be as obstinate, as unrelenting as, as….
Well; as him.
Blast it all….
She held the hateful Knife the both of their palms, and threatened to cut them both even if he didn't agree; even if he was unwilling, she'd do it.
And damn herself in the process…fool mouse!
Why, why couldn't he make her understand!? If she used the Bloodknife without his agreement, Desdane would still wield the stronger hold—she'd condemn herself to a place of eternal limbo, stuck between Farid's half madness and Desdane's sadistic machinations.
Until he glimpsed in her determined eyes, that no; she already knew, and was still unwavering.
She was resolved to save him—that realization froze him cold, stilled his sharp tongue and paralyzed him where he lay—
Because he couldn't for the life of him understand why.
Why, why would she throw herself away? Why would she give up everything on the possibility that she might be able to save him?
But his thoughts were shattered by Aladdin's pet genie propelled from the closed-in stairway, obviously the worse for wear, colliding unceremoniously into a table, books and scrolls scattering everywhere.
The mouse began to cut—
"All right!" he heard himself cry.
It was the only way to limit the nightmare she was about to throw herself into.
He met her gaze, those caramel eyes now open and questioning—
And pleading.
"I…," was he truly going to say it? "I…give myself…to you," he swallowed back the mounting terror. "Willingly."
He damned her; his existence damned her.
Just like his mother, now in her grave.
He squeezed his eyes shut when she sliced her palms, his teeth baring in a silent grimace. He heard the yelp of pain from her, but neither of them screamed.
When Desdane had bound them, searing fire had slashed through his mind as the Knife tied and wound their spirits together in unbreakable knots.
He didn't expect the cool oasis of relief that splashed across his thoughts, the healing wells that washed away nearly all of Desdane's putrid hold over him.
That same coolness flooded his body; he went limp in the mouse's arms.
He wasn't sure how much time passed when his swimming senses finally came to. He blinked, and looked up at the mouse.
Her face was pale, but otherwise she looked all right. His gaze shifted to her palm.
The blood was beginning to clot already, forming a dried line of terrible scarlet on her slender hand.
His thoughts were no longer a menagerie of screaming insanity. He could rebuke her properly.
"Do you have any concept of what you've done?" he softly bit out, and then realized his tone wasn't nearly as harsh as he'd planned.
She only smiled down at him—her lips partly a smirk too. "Mmm-hmm. And you wouldn't have done the same for me?"
He hated the knowing glinting in her eyes.
"That isn't the point," he retorted without thinking.
And then he thought about it.
"Fool mouse."
She only smiled again.
Apparently the swirling mayhem of their minds bonding had only lasted a few seconds, because the pet genie was just rising, still smoking from the pile of destruction his landing had caused.
"Ohhh boy! Moze, your old boss just can't take a joke!"
He poofed back to normal and looked around, worried.
"Uhhhhh, where's Eden?"
"Why, my dear genie; she's right here," a dark voice pleasantly said.
Everyone riveted to the arched stairway, where Desdane regally stood, a small, ruby colored glass bottle in one partly outstretched hand.
Inside a miniature Eden was yelling silently and pounding her fists against the glass.
"Ixober glass," Farid whispered.
Desdane grinned. "Indeed, my pupil," he gestured with his free hand, "made from the Crystals of Ix it's more than capable of trapping an impertinent genie."
Before he or Sadira could stop him, Genie charged, shouting: "Genie woman!"
Desdane was ready. He carelessly flicked a wrist at Genie and another bottle appeared, of emerald translucent glass.
One blinding golden flash later it plopped to the stone floor, Genie trapped inside.
Farid gulped, leaned to Sadira. "I'll distract him; you destroy the Ruby of Arimiset."
Sadira looked at him, eyes wide.
"It's got Aladdin's Aura in it; and a good amount of Genie's magic. Plus it has my magic."
Sadira nodded.
Meanwhile Desdane waved to the bottle and it flitted to his awaiting hand. He casually placed them both in a wooden box, ornately carved, and perched on a small table beside him. "And are you children done plotting, or do you require more time?" he conversationally asked, turning back to them.
A/N: Well, that's all for now kids! I hope you enjoyed, PLZ leave some love for the writer. I'm a review junkie, won't even try to deny it! Otherwise, I've got some training coming up this week for a promotion I'm getting, so I don't see another chapter coming up this week, maybe next. But, in the meantime, we're getting closer to the end, stay tuned for more! Later!
