Blessed Delphine of Glandèves (or of Sabran) was born in Provence, France, in 1284; she died November 26, 1358, having lived as a Franciscan tertiary for most of her life.
Left an orphan in her infancy, she was placed under the guardianship of her uncles, and was grew up under the direction of her aunt, who was the abbess of the Monastery of St. Catherine in Sorbo. As a young girl, she took a vow of virginity which she kept to the end of her life.
Despite her vow, at the age of twenty, she was married to Elzéar, Count of Sabran, and the couple, having both received the habit of the Third Order of St. Francis, lived together in the practice of prayer, penance, and charity towards the poor until the death of Elzéar in 1323. Inspired by her example, her husband took a vow of celibacy, which both honored throughout their married life. After the death of her husband, Delphine sold all her possessions for the benefit of the poor and retired first to Naples and then to Cabrières. She finally returned to Apt where her husband had been buried.
The cult that had long been paid to Delphine was confirmed by Pope Urban V, godson of Elzéar. Her feast, which she shares with her husband, is kept in the Franciscan Order on September 26.

our kids
Cyan is Indigo's older sister. She enjoys playing with Indigo and keeping her mind off her treatments.
Thank you for taking the time to learn about my six year old daughter Indigo and read her story. Indigo started having a fever. It would come and go. But it would never fully go away. This happened for about three weeks. We decided to take her to the doctor and see what was happening. The doctors initially thought it was a viral infection. We tried to keep her in school but Indigo could not shake the fevers and started feeling worse. At this point the doctors decided to run a few more tests. The doctor drew some more blood and ran a quick test in the office. When the doctor saw the results he thought his equipment was malfunctioning, and sent a blood sample to Conway hospital. Our doctor sent us immediately to Conway hospital to get the results of the lab work our doctor sent over. When we arrived at the Conway hospital, my husband decided to wait in the car and I would go inside to get the results. The doctors their told me that he thought our daughter had leukemia, I looked puzzled. I've heard the word before but I didn't quite know what it was. Basically, he said, your daughter might have cancer. I immediately broke down and called my husband to come inside the doctor's office. The doctors at Conway hospital quickly made arrangements and sent us to MUSC. We had and asked lots of questions. Finding out you child has cancer is a lot to take in. We were still a bit in denial. Since cancer was not in our family history. Our fears were confirmed. We stayed at MUSC for about 2 weeks. We didn't really inform our families about the details (yet) because we didn't want them to worry without us being home; besides Indigo wasn't about to let either of us leave her bedside. Once all three of us returned home we shared the news with the kids. Our other children took it pretty hard initially because they didn't understand exactly what this meant. They had plenty of questions. We had to travel back in forth from Myrtle Beach to Charleston twice a week for months. Then if she got sick we would have to go to Charleston and stay or if there was a procedure that needed to be done sometimes it took several days and we were away from our kids days at a time. Indigo is still taking daily chemo medicine and we still go the MUSC for her to get lumber puncture and chemo there as well. She is a very strong willed little lady. Thank you so much for generosity this holiday season. My husband and I are very appreciative for all that you can do. God Bless YOU!! U'Lania Burgess

As the summer comes to an end I hope everyone was able to find time to spend with family and friends. It seems like we just end last school year and here we are at the beginning of a new school year. We are looking forward to seeing our returning students and welcoming our new students. This school year we have Mr. Robert Landolfi, joining our staff in a Supervisory role. Mr. Landolfi has a wealth of experience working with youth who are experiencing challenges both at home and school. Welcome, Mr. Landolfi. On October 20, 2016 at 6 P.M. we will have Back to School Night that evening we look forward to seeing our parents. This year the students will attend a career transition program coordinated by Ms. Hespe. This program will focus on the impact education has on securing employment and work place readiness skills necessary to retain employment. During the program Ms. Hespe will contrast employment to financial security and what is necessary to become financially independent.
Enjoy the remaining warm weather. My best – Greg Janz

The Maclaurin series is just a Taylor series expanded about x = 0. Read the description of matlab's 'taylor' function in the symbolic toolbox very carefully and you can do everything asked of you quite easily, except possibly determine the radius of convergence. For that to be done rigorously you would need to have the general formula for the n-th coefficient of the series and some knowledge about power series convergence. This general formula can be obtained from the binomial theorem applied to fractional powers. Either that or know something about analytic (complex) function theory. It is this latter field which gives significance to the word 'radius' in "radius of convergence".

Peasants During the Bubonic Plague
Hana Hafford
The Bubonic Plague affected all the people in medieval Europe during the middle and helped with the decline of feudalism, like the peasants who gained some power because of the bubonic plague and lost it later on when they lost the war because of the laws.
Europes once high and mighty families found themselves practically begging peasants to come work for them.For the the first time ever the peasants knew they had an advantage. After so many people died there were fewer peasants, peasants went to work for wealthier families or demanded more money from their job. The peasants got more money and better conditions in which they bought more things for their homes and families. In 1351 Edward III passed a law that said peasants had to go back to the old days of life, but all peasants ignored that and moved away.
The Wat Tyler rebellion break out in England in 1381. The immediate causes war same as those of the Jacquerie: high war taxes, a recent outbreak of plague, and resulting agricultural crisis. Now that the peasants had some power everyone else was not happy especially Edwards grandson Richard II. In 1377 Richard passed a law saying the peasants had to pay taxes, but it was not fair since everyone else had different amount to pay. Wat Tyler was the peasants leader for the war, the peasants went around in groups and burned down castles and killed some of their masters.After the death of Wat Tyler the peasants got defeated and had to go back to the old way of life with feudalism but one of the results of the bubonic plague was their wages did rise, but the taxes did not change.
Lots of people were affected because of the Bubonic plague. When it was over the peasants were doing great with some power and more money, but later on as you read in my paragraph they lost all that power and it was back to the ways of feudalism.

Beef and Bean Ranch Bake
Recipe by lazyme
A simple one-dish meal that we hope to try soon.
Top Review by mliss29
This was good! (But I used regular soup and regular cheese.) DH liked it too. In fact, it was so good, I will try to work out a vegetarian version because I'm planning to go veg when I get done with my outstanding tags. (This was tagged for Newest Zaar Tag 08A.) I mixed half the cheese into the meat mixture, put a quarter on top of the potatoes, and the final quarter on top of the dish. Very good comfort food. Thanks!

Watch: New Full Trailer for Disney Animation's Next Musical 'Moana'
by Alex Billington
September 15, 2016
Source: YouTube
"The ocean is a friend of mine." Disney has debuted the full trailer for the musical Moana, to follow-up the extended teaser that arrived during the Olympics. This musical is the latest from Disney Animation and co-directors Ron Clements and John Musker (of The Little Mermaid, Aladdin, Hercules, The Princess and the Frog) and is an adventure about a kick ass Hawaiian princess named Moana. We also get a better look at the big villain, the Lava Witch, in this new trailer. Auli'i Cravalho voices Moana, and the the cast includes Dwayne Johnson, Alan Tudyk, Phillipa Soo, Temuera Morrison and Jemaine Clement. This looks like it might actually be really quite wonderful, Disney is back at the top of their game. Have fun.
Here's the second full-length trailer for Clements & Musker's musical Moana, direct from YouTube:
You can still see the first teaser for Disney's Moana here, the international teaser or Olympics TV spot.
Princess Moana is a daughter of the chief of her tribe, Coming from a long line of navigators she sets off for a fabled island with her hero, the demi God Maui. Along the voyage they battle the treacherous ocean and all which it hides, all the while learning what the power love between friends can accomplish. Renowned filmmakers Ron Clements & John Musker (The Little Mermaid, Aladdin) are directing the CG-animated comedy-adventure. Clements & Musker's last three animated films include The Princess and the Frog, Treasure Planet and Hercules after the original era of Aladdin and Little Mermaid. Disney will be releasing Clements & Musker's Moana in theaters starting Thanksgiving week, on November 23rd, 2016.

According to Bruce Levine of espn Chicago the deal is pending physicals between Wood, Marshall, and the two prospects
According to Bruce Levine of espn Chicago the deal is pending physicals between Wood, Marshall, and the two prospects
Danny Knobler of CBS just confirmed this also
I don't even have to hear the names of the minor leaguers in this one... Walt has lost his mind to give up anything more than Wood for a one-year rental of Sean Marshall.
For 2012 not a bad deal but if the reds dont resign marshall after 2012 i believe hes a free agent then its a bad deal.
Let's wait to see the prospects before going nuts. And if Marshall can be extended more than one year I'm ok with it. Wood might be good but he's a fly ball pitcher. His 2011 was fairly awful even in AAA. Marshall is considered by many to be the best lefty reliever in baseball. So let's see what happens. This moves confirms though that the Reds wasnt to win now. Next year. Immediately.
He is arguably the best reliever in the majors; Wood is a #5-6 this year and who had a bad year last year! Frankly if we are giving him and 2 low expectancy prospects I'm cool with it.
Yes he does have an upside obviously. Scares me too. And depth may be a problem. But most every team has that problem. Also, Marshall is brutal on lefties, including the Reds lefties. Won't have to face him any more at least for a year. I'm guessing Walt's not done. I'm going to plotz.
So some of you folks are good with giving up more than a guy who came within an eyelash of pitching a perfect game against the Phillies in 2010 for a lefty reliever that the Reds have no shot in hell at signing beyond the one year on his contract. Yeah, thats brilliant.
You have to give quality to get quality. Marshall has been, arguably, the best reliever in baseball for the past two seasons. He wasn't coming cheaply.
Besides the jury is still out on Travis Wood. He seems like a nice guy and I wish him well. But his being a successful major league pitcher isn't a given by any means.

We have seen over the years and read about how creative , elaborate , romantic to be proposed to. Now I'm not sure if you have seen the Howie Mandell FlashMOb Marriage proposal. That is the extreme , overwhleming way to be proposed to. Is it for everyone?
I will leave lots of types and styles of proposals or you can come up with your own.
As a woman would you propose instead of him and guys would be ok and/or great
Would you love the Howie Mandell Mobbed elaborate proposal and girls , would you be the one doig it instead of Him.
Would you prefer a not as elaborate surprised proposal , something like Baseball satdium Scoreboard Proposal , or a ring hidden in food or pastry that ou suddenly discover. Or girls have that done to him.
How about proposal that is done to the father of future fiancee , Or Girls you asking the mother , she wants to give her son away
A romantic get away , where the standard , yet classy , two people quietly in a romantic setting , he goes down to one knee. Girls would you want to do that?
I know some are very traditional other shocking and surprising , yet does it change your answer if you are mobbed.
If you would say no if the one in your life proposed at this point , even if you are mobbed and the proposal is amazing , on TV ( recorded for) with 10 of thousands of people involved in the making , could you say no if that was your answer?
Would you say yes in front of him and Howie , but later have a discussion only to find out , your family and the minister is there for the ceremony , and the wedding is also part of the proposal.
I'm curious as to what people hope and would love to plan.
What if you are mobbed and want to say no.

I always had the idea of taking her some place high in a mountain/ hill and as we would be looking at the beautiful landscape I'd signal someone to ignite the fires/ lights that would make up a "will you marry me" sign or something like that. Then I push her off the mountain.

Two days. That's how long Landon Donovan had to 'coach' his Homegrown MLS players in preparation for their meeting last week in Colorado against a fairly competitive U-20 Club América team.
Two days is better than one. Or, in the case of some of the MLS All-Star team playing the following day, 1/2 a day of team bonding. What can a team really achieve during a match with little to no preparation?
There's a cacophony of anti-All-Star voices. But there's a silver-lining to the media-driven chaos that is at the heart of MLS All-Star week. Through all its many forms and iterations, MLS All-Star serves a purpose that is a higher cause. As the clear MLS MVP of the 2015 All-Stars put it, "But I remember the All-Star NBA players. I had a lot of cards from all the all-stars… so to be a part of this today was a great experience for me." – Kaká. There's an allure, though a bit tarnished and over-analyzed at this point. I too recall growing up in the era when the phrase all-stars reflected magic. The kids who showed up for player appearances and waited for three hours or more the day before to watch their All-Stars and Tottenham stars practice, came for reasons we can all relate to. There's a purity of love for the game itself and a blitz of star shimmer that an All-Star setting can bring. Year after year, in different ways, the MLS All-Star match brings a touch of soccer magic. It may not get the ratings or ticket sales that an MLS Final or an epic rivalry match will, but perhaps we can accept that it isn't meant to, at least not yet. There are redeeming qualities though. Beyond the fan appeal, there's another layer.
"It's obviously an honor to be recognized in this fashion. It's a good time to come and see all the other youth talent that's coming up in the league." – LA Galaxy's homegrown Bradford Jamieson IV recounts after his first Homegrown match.
Who does Jamieson look up to? "David Villa is someone I can look up to as a striker and overall good player. Gyasi and Juni are role models on the field and off the pitch, daily." For Bradford, it's a chance to get out of a bubble and see what others are bringing to the table, and what others have been learning, be it from the competition, or from friends; plus it's his chance to play with some of the best in the league. For a player at Jamieson's stage of development, where the thirst for new knowledge is almost unquenchable, this opportunity is a potential goldmine.
Bradford Jamieson didn't get to score a goal this time. Nor did he during the recent LA Galaxy (II) vs FC Barcelona International Champions Cup match. But, similar to the Homegrown and All-Star matches, he was content and realistic afterwards:
"Those experiences are some of the most important ones. When you don't have really pressure on you and are playing some of the best in the world. Those are times when you can really let go and you see the real character of diff players come out. You learn along the way. You figure out where you are in the world. And you can gauge your level."
It's all fairly new. In 2008, MLS developed the Homegrown Player rule as part of an effort to incentivize clubs to invest in youth development. The rule allows clubs to sign local players from their own developmental academies directly to their first team rosters. It's not a perfected system.
"It's amazing to come through the MLS system, from the academy to being a professional soccer player," Zardes said
This year's only MLS Homegrown player on the MLS All-Star starting lineup playing Tottenham Hotspur in front of a sell-out crowd of 18,671 fans was Jamieson's teammate and hairstyle doppleganger, Gyasi Zardes. And, he's someone Bradford looks up to. Sincere as always, Bardes chimes in, "to participate and play with these phenomenal guys across the league, it's an amazing experience and I'm just taking it day by day."
Gyasi Zardes grew up in 10 miles from where he now plays regularly, in humble and hard-working Hawthorne, California. "I'm from Hawthorne, and people from Hawthorne work hard." Now, Zardes is an LA Galaxy success story, an up-and-coming USMNT regular, and he credits his opportunities to the advancements in Major League Soccer player development.
Perhaps the best assessment of the Homegrown initiative and game so far is from an athlete who's been around and seen the value of a hit and run type situation for these teams. "It's hard to come into an environment where you don't know people and you come together in two days. The more experiences you have like that, the more you benefit from it. With the national team you play Sunday, you come in Monday, you're playing Wednesday, it's valuable to have experiences like this." – Coach Landon Donovan. And, that's the goal, to feel comfortable enough with yourself and with variables like different players, conditions and changing rosters, that it no longer matters. That you play your best game every time.
Not all Homegrown players will become the next Yedlin or Zardes, but they are still crucial to the league, a sort of talented middle space and a self-propagating supply of skilled young players. It's the sign of a healthy and lasting league.
"We just played a very, very good Club América team. Those kids have been together for six or seven years, and we have players that are at least at their level," Donovan said. "That didn't happen 10 years ago. When I came into the league there wasn't players like that, so that's a good sign."

This is a pair of antique French doors from the Directoire period. The wood is Poplar or Limewood (these two species are very similar in France). The doors have magnificent ironwork on the interior side. The locking system, called cremone, has two round knobs which are attached to vertical rods: one moves the rod upward, while the other sends it down into the rings attached to the doors' frames. The thick iron hinges are attached with c and s scroll decorative strapping. The exterior sides of the doors have raised wooden diamond point decoration on the bottom panel, typical of the Directoire period. The middle panel is adorned with a raised horizontal diamond point. The top rectangular panel is offset by a raised Directoire panel with a bronze plated letter slot. The other door has a knocker in the shape of a fist. And finally, the diamond shaped iron filets surrounding these panels are in fact what affixes the bolts to the interior iron strapping.
The doors have chips, rubs, separations, some loss of wood, but overall for their age, they are in good antique condition and could definitely be restored for daily use.

Hannaford Launches Annual Anti-hunger Program
Shoppers receive $50 in savings while helping to raise over $1 million.
This week Hannaford Supermarkets kicked off its 2008 "Hannaford Helps Fight Hunger" holiday giving program, with the aim of donating over $1 million to local food pantries and food banks.
"We are making it easy for our customers to help us fight hunger with many giving options during what many think will be a challenging winter," noted Hannaford spokesman Michael Norton. "The 'Hannaford Helps Fight Hunger' program offers those who give a way to save money on groceries this holiday season."
Norton told Progressive Grocer that the grocer has been running the program for the past three years.
Customers will be able to purchase a $10 Fund-a-Feast box containing food essentials to be donated to a local food pantry. In return, they'll get a coupon book offering over $50 in savings. Starting Nov. 30, shoppers can donate $5 at the register toward a Hannaford gift card for a local food bank in return for a coupon book offering over than $50 in savings. Beginning Dec. 7, each time a Hannaford soup or cereal tagged with "Buy 1/Give 1" is bought, the same item will be donated to a local food bank.
In 2007 Hannaford raised $500,000 through the program. This year, with more ways to save and contribute, the supermarket expects to raise over $1 million.
Scarborough, Maine-based Hannaford Bros. Co., which is owned by Delhaize Group of Brussels, Belgium, operates 167 stores and employs more than 27,000 associates under the Hannaford Supermarket and Hannaford Supermarket and Pharmacy banners.

Is there a working driver for the wifi adapter of the E4300?
Aug 14, 2009 at 3:53 UTC
Dell changed the MB and now all is fine.
Out of the box drivers work fine.

Not for win7 yet, you might try unpacking the Vista driver and manually pointing it to the unpacked folder, the forced install might give you some functionality. Win7 isnt ready for the market yet though so this is probably your best bet.
Aug 6, 2009 at 11:05 UTC
Which WiFi card did you get? There are 3 Dell branded cards and 3 Intel cards. If you have a Dell card well..... Good luck...... they wont be releasing Windows7 drivers for sometime and no one knows who really makes the Dell branded cards?
If you got one of the Intel cards you might have some luck on Intel's website or with their support team.

Will Intel post Windows 7 RC drivers for downloading on support.intel.com?
No, Intel currently does not have any wireless drivers posted for the Windows 7 RC for download on support.intel.com. Many wireless drivers are included in the Windows 7 RC operating system (OS) download from Microsoft.
When will Intel drivers be available to support the Windows 7 operating system (OS) that Microsoft will be releasing to manufacturing in the fall?
Updated and signed drivers for many of the wireless products will be available for download for Windows 7 operating system soon after the official launch of Windows 7.

The Detroit Robot Factory in Eastern Market is home to the 826th and final step of a long process of upgrades and installations a robot must receive in order to achieve complete sentience. Each of these 826 steps is necessary for a robot to become whole. The steps and their order have been curated and developed by teams of the world's greatest engineers, philosophers, and list-makers.
Understanding what makes an robot sentient is an essential part of robo-human relations. As a public service, Onward Robots will be tweeting two steps a day (at 8:26am and 8:26pm) from our Twitter account, @OnwardRobots. We're scheduled to be done sometime in early 2018.

More than 370 "affordable" homes, which were to be mixed among the multimillion-pound apartments next to the Grade II*-listed power station, are instead to be located on a former industrial estate between busy railway lines.
Developers say the change is needed to make way for a giant sewer.
Wandsworth council is currently considering the proposal to place the cheaper homes in a collection of mansion blocks ready to move into in 2019.
However, with the homes being positioned at the furthest reaches of the site, the proposals are likely to reignite the "poor door" debate — a reference to developers' practice of providing segregated entrances for private and affordable owners in upscale blocks.

Wandsworth council is currently considering the proposal to place the cheaper homes in a collection of mansion blocks.
8/8 Homes & Property celebrates the launch of the luxury channel with our signature cocktail: the Splendido
Moved: cheaper flats will now be between busy railway lines and half a mile away from the multimillion-pound apartments next to the Grade II-listed power station
Rob Tincknell, head of the Battersea Power Station Development Company, defended the change, saying the affordable homes would be completed sooner under the new plan.
The affordable homes will be built on a three-acre plot in Sleaford Street, on the other side of Battersea Park Road and beside a tangle of railway tracks.
The proposal is a reversal of the original plan to sprinkle affordable housing out as part of the later phases of the scheme. Tincknell said that when it became clear the building of the new London super-sewer – the Thames Tideway Tunnel - and the Northern line extension would delay these phases, the plan was re-thought.
"When it became apparent that construction of the Thames Tideway Tunnel would delay delivery of affordable housing, we were immediately asked by our shareholders to develop an alternative strategy to deliver our committed affordable housing," he said.
The affordable homes are being designed by Patel Taylor Architects, the firm which created homes at the Athletes' Village at Stratford for the 2012 Olympic Games. They will replace an industrial estate and former Dairy Crest depot.
"We think the architecture is beautifully proportioned and the 374 homes are spacious and well-laid out, with the vast majority benefiting from double or even triple aspect," said Tincknell.
The properties will be within five mid-rise blocks, ranging from nine to 18 storeys. More than 250 homes will be rented out on long leases and at subsidised rates to people priced out of the local private rental sector. The average rent of a two-bedroom flat in Nine Elms is currently almost £3,000 per month, according to Zoopla.
The rest of the properties will be sold to local first-time buyers earning from £40,000 a year, who will be able to purchase a 25 per cent share. A two-bedroom flat in the area currently costs just over £1.2 million.
The development will include a new piazza with space for market stalls, a ball court, outdoor gym equipment, children's play areas, a fitness trail, a private residents garden and a "community growing garden", featuring allotments and fruit trees.
There will also be a new NHS health centre and small business units, as well as shops and cafés around the piazza.
When it completes in 2025, the Battersea Power Station scheme will include 581 affordable homes – the rest are being provided in later phases – representing 15.2 per cent of the homes on the site.
Mayor Boris Johnson was last year forced to defend affordable provision on the £8 billion site, pointing out that it would provide hundreds of Londoners with discounted homes.

Early in my ministry I reached a point where I was ready to give up. The ministry was growing, new kids were coming, and attendance was up week after week. What a horrible problem, right?
The problem was, as kids' attendance increased, the number of volunteers quitting increased just as fast.
When you're adding kids and losing leaders, you have a recipe for disaster. I realized that something needed to change. I was beginning to doubt my abilities, worse yet; I started to doubt my calling. Maybe I was not cut out for ministry.
My problem was, I was so focused on adding new volunteers that I didn't give much thought to the ones who were already committed, already trained, already serving in the trenches.
I was missing what I know now is the most important piece to team building; volunteer appreciation.
Following are 7 tips for volunteer appreciation.
Honor your volunteers
- Make them feel special and thank them often for serving.
- Go out of your way to greet them, thank them every time they serve.
- Know about their lives and engage them about the things that matter to them.
- Speak highly of them to the leadership above you.
- Brag about them in front of their peers and family.
Invest in your team
- Look for ways to make their job easier.
- Look for opportunities to bless them personally.
- Call them on their birthday.
- Comment on their new hair-do.
- Spend time with them outside of church.
Catch them doing right and recognize them for it
- Write your volunteers hand written notes, let them know you are praying for them and you value their contribution. Check out the post, The Power of a handwritten note.
- Call and text your volunteers. Not to ask for something, just to say thank you.
- Honor your volunteers on social media.
- Recognize them publicly.
Always assume the best
- Defend your volunteers at all costs and have their back. If you hear someone complaining about something one of your volunteers did, rise to their defense. Create a culture of having your volunteers back.
Require them to take time off
- Create a culture that allows volunteers to take vacation and take time off.
- Make sure your volunteers attend church services.
Invest in their entire family.
- If they have kids make them feel special.
- If they are married, make sure their spouse knows how awesome they are.
Hold appreciation Events.
- Hold an annual volunteer banquet.
- Create events just for the sake of fun.
- Invite your volunteers to your home, out to dinner, or to coffee just to say thank you. No other agenda other than appreciation.
By creating a culture of appreciation, you will transform your entire ministry. Set a goal that your department is going to become known for how you appreciate volunteers. If you do, you will never have a shortage of leaders.

Poison Ivy (Injustice 2) Papercraft + Unfold Info Sabi996 11 2 Rosalina Papercraft + Unfold Info Sabi996 7 7
Your collection is amazing
Makes me want to steal your collection! (Just kidding)
Well, now just a small question...
Why don't you share some papercrafts? I only just want the Fennekin one... Or maybe the Sylveon... I will conform one of these.
Mostly because of the trouble they cause, and now they are more personal projects than public releases. SOME will get public releases eventually, just not all of them
Can I build Sylveon please????????
Nope, sorry. I want to build it myself first
Oh I see,then my note is ignored or something,sorry if I am being annoying,but when you build yourself,are you going to make an exception?I want it for a birthday present
It's not being ignored, i am trying to think. I can see that you can design now, why don't you make one yourself?
Well I thought of that,but my skills stink like a smelly sock the model of coronation Elsa was made by 0-0-alice-0-0.I just edit it.I hope you understand now why I don't design myself and because your model is so precise.Also,if make one it would take me a lot of time and my cousin's birthday is in 2 weeks.

"Ankh Of Despair"
Hm, so many of you are happy that they are together. . . This is the final chapter. . . I think. . . and I am so happy that so many people have taken the time to read my story. This final chapter will tie up a lot of loose ends (including an explanation as to why I chose the title that I did) as well as create a few new ones, but, like all of my fanfictions, it will leave a sense of wonder, a sense of wanting to know what exactly will happen next. Perhaps some of you will hate me at the end of this chapter. . . then again, perhaps I'll have you asking for more -smiles- I hope for the latter.
This chapter was written over a very long period of time. . . most of it, however, was written while listening to music from 'Angel Sanctuary'. The music has a very mythical/fantasy feel, and yet a dark sound do it. . . music often influences my writing. . .let's see if that applies to this. Now, for the final chapter. . . Enjoy it.
DISCLAIMER: I think you already know.
Yugi wiped his hands off on the ivory towel that lay by the kitchen sink as he finished drying the dishes. As he folded the cloth back into some sort of orderly shape, he glanced up to the neon-green, digital clock on the oven. It was already four o'clock in the afternoon and Yami, who had left the house shortly after breakfast, had yet to return. He silently wondered whether he should be excited or worried about the extended absence of the Pharaoh.
"Yugi?" Solomon Muto entered the room, stretching his arms above his head and then dropping them back to his sides in a lazy manner, "Where's your spirit friend?"
"You mean Yami?" Yugi asked, watching as his aging grandfather took a seat at the kitchen table, "He went to Kaiba's house this morning.
Solomon jumped slightly in his seat, "Kaiba's house you say? What kind of business does he have there?"
Yugi smiled, leaning against the wall on the other side of the room and peering out the window to watch the wind carry off stray leaves, "He had a few things to take care of with Seto." He chuckled lightly under his breath, in hopes that his guardian wouldn't hear it.
"Is that so?" The elder Muto chuckled as well, but loud enough for his grandson to catch it, "Well then, I suppose a long absence would mean he was successful. . . or dying a second death." He laughed again, this time standing from the table and leaving the room. . . but before long, his head poked back into the doorway, "Oh, and instead of worrying yourself, why don't you just go and get him? It shouldn't trouble the Kaiba's, after all, you're friends with Mokuba, right?" He smiled, leaving.
Yugi bit at his lower lip a bit before looking out the window again. He left the kitchen, winding his way through the house, leaving through the front door.
Solomon smiled from in the livingroom as he heard the door shut, "Love can make us do funny things sometimes. . . ah, to be young again."
The doorbell sounded throughout the house, ricocheting off of the walls and down each hall of the Kaiba household.
Mokuba managed to pull his head free of the mass of pillows he had piled upon it to block out the rather unnerving sounds coming from the main bedroom upstairs. Yes, he admitted to his brothers' beauty, but found it utterly disturbing to hear him calling out lustfully to the Pharaoh. . . though he was positive anyone else would have found it intoxicating.
He swiftly wound through the house, the sound of the doorbell becoming more and more persistent, with fewer and fewer seconds of silence in between each tone until it became like one continuous sounds, driving Mokuba towards insanity. He yanked the door open with a growing frustration, "Stop with the damn doorbell, you little pun- Yugi?" He caught himself as his eyes came right to the level of wide, violet orbs.
"Hey Mokuba!" He yelled quickly, then settled down a bit, "Uh, yeah, sorry about all of those rings. . . I was just wondering if Yami was still here." He tried to look around the shorter Kaiba brother as though he expected to see the Pharaoh bound right by.
The black-haired boy grinned, "He's upstairs with Seto, buuuuuuuuuuuuut. . ." his voice faded off and he giggled, causing Yugi to look at him quizzically, "They're very busy right now." As though on cue, Seto let out a loud and rather suggestive moan. If you thought that Yugi's eyes couldn't possibly get any bigger, he certainly would have proven you wrong right at that moment.
"Mokuba!" Yugi half-screamed, "Are they having se-"
"Shh! Don't let them hear you!"
"Hear me? Hear me! With your brother making those noises, they won't hear a thing!" He shivered as Seto moaned again. . . and again and again. . . but soon enough, there were two voices following that exotic rhythm, which he concluded that the other voice belonged to the Pharaoh himself, "Mokuba?"
"What brought this on?"
"Good question. . . Yami had accidentally left the Millennium Rod here, so he went upstairs to see if maybe Seto had it. . . and the next thing I know, I'm listening to gay porn!"
Both of them visibly shook with excitement. . .or disgust. . . most likely the latter. . . as the two handsome men upstairs cried out each others' names, signaling the end of that little party.
"So. . . what do I do then? Should I just wait down here?" Yugi twiddled his thumbs as he turned away, trying to hide his obvious blush.
"Sure!" Mokuba chimed, "We can play video games!"
Yugi smiled at the younger boy, "That sounds like fun! What better way to pass the time than to play games?" He was lead to another room by Mokuba.
Yami lay beside his love, the smell of their sweat melting together creating a surprisingly sweet scent, a familiar one at that. He wrapped his arms around Seto protectively, smiling softly as the brunette snuggled into his chest, eyes mere sapphire slits, reflecting the dim light that had snuck through the satin curtains in small slivers.
Seto looked up at the one he once called Pharaoh. Something felt so right about the way he was held. . . and yet something felt so wrong. . . he couldn't quite put his finger on what it was, but something was there, and he felt it within his heart.
That voice rang within his ears as a gentle chime, but he felt a heavy wait on his heart begin to form. . . for what reason, he didn't know. Too caught up in his own thoughts to answer, he simply looked up to Yami with lazy eyes.
"What did you think?" His smile grew, a faint blush daring to grace his cheeks.
"I. . ." How could he answer such a question? It was wonderful, but. . .
"It's okay, Seto," He chuckled, his face lighting up as he did so, "Just be honest."
This was his once-greatest rival. . . his enemy. . . the one that he sought to defeat even if were to mean his own demise. . . but why now? Why so suddenly? Yes, it had been that golden staff, surely he wouldn't have jumped into bed so quickly with the king of games out of sheer will. Perhaps. . . perhaps that was this strange feeling within him.
"Are you alright Seto?" His look was of concern this time. . . genuine concern. . . those crimson eyes searching his own azure windows as though looking for the answers buried within his soul. . . Seto was safe with the knowledge that the Pharaoh wasn't able to read minds.
He stood from the bed, and Yami made a strange sound. . . a small whimper. . . as the thin warmth in his arms left him, "Yami," Seto began, and the young king's eyes changed quickly to the emotion that was worry, "Don't look at me like that. . ." Seto turned away, blushing lightly at the fact that he stood there, his body completely exposed, "I. . . this. . ."
"Just say it Seto. . . just spit it out."
Could he read minds? "This just doesn't feel right. . ." What could he possibly say? That beautiful face. . . those gorgeous features. . . "perhaps we should just. . . just be. . ."
The door slammed shut and Seto's eyes flew back to the bed. . . which was now empty, the sheets tossed aside and Yami's clothes missing from the messy pile on the floor. A dull pain came to lay on Seto's heart this time, now that the unknown pressure had been relieved. He fell to his knees, not bothering to get dressed. . . for now, it seemed to be of the least of importance. . .
Yami moved down the stairs clumsily, pulling on articles of clothing all the while, tears welling at the edges of his eyes, threatening to spill over and stain his cheeks at any moment. While fiddling with the button on his pants, his heel caught the edge of a step, sending him tumbling down the stairs. He landed at the bottom in a heap, cussing under his breath. Two sets of eyes stared down at him curiously.
"Yami?" The Pharaoh left the ground for a split-second as his was startled from whatever had chose to occupy his mind at that moment, to look up at the wide, violet eyes looking down at him like a worried mother might, "Are you alright?"
"I'm fine."
"But you're crying. . . and your pants are undone. . ." He brushed away his spirits tears, kneeling next to him.
Mokuba folded his arms, his fuse running short, "What did my brother do?"
Yami shook his head. . . this wasn't something he wanted to be thinking about. . . everything was so sudden. . . "I. . . I don't know what went wrong! We. . . we made love. . ." He smiled softly, more tears spilling over and marching down his cheeks, to form a miniature puddle on the floor beside him, "I was holding him. . . it was Heaven. . . and when I asked him what he thought about it, he got out of the bed and told me that it didn't feel right. . . I left right before he could. . . he could. . ." Yugi embraced the Pharaoh, who cried relentlessly onto his shoulder.
"Before he could what, Yami?"
"Before he could tell me that he just wanted to be friends!"
Mokuba's jaw dropped, "He said that?"
"No! But. . . he was going to! I just know he was!" He wiped at his eyes and stood, wobbling slightly until he caught his balance, "I don't want to talk about it anymore, I just want to go home, Yugi. . . I want out of this house!"
Seto fought with the final button at the top of his shirt for mere seconds before he got fed up and left it as it was. He shoved his hand through his messy brown locks, biting his lower lip softly. With quick steps, he was able to get downstairs just in time to see Mokuba closing the door. Yami had gone. . . and by the expression on the little boys face, nothing was a secret.
"Seto!" He cried, lunging toward his older brother and grabbing at his shirt in an attempt to get a good hold upon him, "How could you do that to him! I don't understand you! What happened to my brother! You're just some freak that likes to toy with people! You're a fucking bastard!" He stormed up the stairs.
"Mokuba!" It was too late. There was a faint 'click' as the raven-haired boy locked his bedroom door behind himself. "I didn't mean to upset him. . . I. . ." He was talking to himself now, but perhaps that is what he needed. . . he just needed to think. . .
He sighed, reaching up a hand to rub at his neck. He pulled it back suddenly when he felt cool metal. Rushing to the nearest mirror, he took a good look at his newest accessory. Adorning his neck was Yami's trademark choker. . . Seto remembered now. The Pharaoh had fastened it around his neck before they had commenced in their. . . activities. He ran his hand over it, and then over the red mark just above it on the right. He tilted his head to get a better look at his marking. . . a hickey from Yami. . .
"Yami. . . Why is it that I feel this way? I've never felt this way before. . .What is this feeling that I have?" The priest sluggishly made his way back up the stairs. . . maybe it would be best to sleep. . . if only he could sleep forever. . .
The Muto's gathered around the dinner table, the air was unusually heavy, thick with an awkward silence that was normally filled with Yugi's endless, hyper chatter about the days happenings. The bright-eyed boy bounced in his seat as though he would burst if he didn't speak soon.
"Yugi," Solomon began, "If you have something to say, then please say it!" He laughed one of those thick, loud laughs of an aging man, "Lord only knows it's too quiet in here!" He flashed a quick smile at his grandson and briefly nodded his head toward Yami, who seemed all-to interested in what he had on his plate and the numerous designs he could make with it. . . a sure sign that something was on his mind, that something was bothering him and he couldn't quite work it out all by himself.
"Yami. . ." Yugi muttered softly, yet loud enough to receive the attention of the Pharaoh's half-lidded eyes, "Don't beat yourself up over this. . . this is Kaiba we're talking about here! He doesn't know anything other than hatred!"
"Shut up Yugi." Those ruby eyes flashed with fire for a fraction of a second, so small that if one blinked, it would have been missed.
"What?" Yugi sat up straight in his seat, shocked.
"I said shut up!" The crimson-eyed king stood from his seat, slamming his hands down onto the table in the form of fists, "He isn't like that! He. . ." Yami took his seat once more, and the tense moment seemed to lighten up a bit, "He isn't like that. . ." A solitary tear fell from each eye, the silver gems sliding slowly to puddle on the floor at his feet, "When we made l- uh, Yugi?" His eyes darted about the room in an uneasy manner.
"Yeah?" The Pharaoh motioned his head toward the grandfather, who seemed overly-eager to hear the story of what happened between he and Seto Kaiba. "Oh! Uh. . . can you get our plates grandpa? We need to talk about something important." Before a reply was given, he grasped Yami's wrist and dragged him up the stairs at a lightening-quick pace.
Solomon chuckled to himself, "Kids these days. . ." He piled the plates in the sink for Yugi to clean off later.
"It was as though it wasn't Seto Kaiba, but my Seto instead. . . as though we had drifted back to Egypt. . . and I just thought that perhaps there was a chance for us in this time. . . at that moment, anything seemed possible. . . all goals seemed to be in reach. . ." Yami absentmindedly rocked himself slowly on Yugi's bed, his knees hugged up close to his chest.
Yugi placed a loving hand on his partners' shoulder. . . he had been doing that a lot recently, "Maybe it just wasn't meant to be Yami. . . I'm sorry. . . but he's Seto Kaiba. . ."
"But he seemed so much like my priest!"
"But he isn't your priest, Yami!" Yugi bit his lip when Yami shut his mouth suddenly and turned away, "Yami. . . I- I didn't mean to say it like that. . ."
"No. . . it's alright aibou. . . you're absolutely right." He turned to the young teen and sighed, "All along, I've only been thinking of myself. . . and I've only been thinking of the Seto that I once knew and loved. I've been blind all along. . . blind to the fact that he isn't the Seto that I was close to. . . he is a completely new Seto, but with the same features. . . I should have thought of that before. . . but why? Why would he have slept with me?"
"I don't know. . . maybe you'll get to ask him some day."
"I bet it was that fucking rod. . ."
"Very likely. . . hey, speaking of which, where is it?"
Crimson eyes lit up, "Ah, shit! I left it at the mansion!" He clutched at his hair as though he were trying to yank every last strand out. . . he gave up shortly after, and fell back on the bed, "I'll just get it some other time. . . unless, you would be so kind as to do it for me, Yugi. . ."
"Hehe! Of course Yami!" He slid off the bed and headed toward the door, "Well, I doubt that grandpa did the dishes, so I'll go take care of those! I'll be right back!" With a nod from the Pharaoh, he hurriedly bounded out of the room and down the stairs.
Yami leaned his head to the side, looking out the window and toward the moon that had just risen to kiss the sky. The stars gathered all about it, marveling that it's silver luster.
"It's torture. . . torture to be so close to such a beauty. . . and yet so far away all at once. . ." He closed his eyes, drifting off into his little fantasy world of ancient Egypt. Seto was there, standing tall, his muscles tense and his waist fit. His garbs were beautiful, and looked perfect on him, the deep cerulean of the cloth bringing out his finely-colored features, the loose fit bringing out his toned body. . . and the golden ankh across his breastplate always shimmered beautifully. . . just like the heart that it protected. . . the heart that was once his and would never be again. . . the heart that died along with ancient Egypt and would never again exist in this world. . .
He laughed silently to himself, "Protect. . . bullshit. . . Seto was. . . he was killed. . ." His half-smile disappeared as it was replaced with trembling lips and warm tears, "Why Seto? Why do you do this to me? Make me live this life of. . . life of despair. . ." Again he chuckled, yet the tears fell faster, and his mind drifted back to that golden ankh that sealed his loves chest. . . his priest's chest, "How ironic. . . A symbol to mean 'life' leading it's bearer to an early tomb. . ." He wiped at his own tears, "Even after death, Seto. . . I love you, and I swear to the gods that I'll never quit loving you, even if I die a thousand times over. . . this life of despair. . . this ankh of despair. . ."
Seto couldn't sleep, these visions of Egypt. . . visions of his own body held in the arms of the one who had left so many hours ago. . . and that pain in his heart had spread to the rest of his body until it throbbed in his head like a tiny voice. . . and then again, perhaps it was a tiny voice. . . with all that had happened so recently, who was he to doubt what was possible and what wasn't?
Sapphire eyes flared with a curiosity. He found himself mysteriously standing in front of his desk. Not about to ask questions, he sat in the chair that he could have sworn he had pushed in and reached ahead to where he expected his laptop to be waiting for him. . . instead, his hand met with a cold, smooth substance. . . he grasped it, the object feeling very thin in his hand. The CEO pulled it from the shadows to gaze upon it in the moonlight that streamed through the window, only to throw it to the floor.
"Leave me alone!" The Millennium Rod lay on the floor, it's one, golden eye staring up at him, "What do you want from me!" Yeah, he had lost it, no use in fighting it now. Before he could make a fool of himself anymore, a few quick raps sounded on the door.
"Seto? Are you alright?"
"Huh? Yeah Mokuba. . . a nightmare is all, go back to bed, I'm fine." Again, a lie. . . or was it? It seemed as though his thoughts weren't truly his own. . . it was hard for him to decipher what he really wanted for himself. . . his mind had been clouded with foreign 'memories' the past few days, and now he couldn't tell what was the past, and what was the present. "Past and present. . ."
"So you finally accept your past, Seto?"
Seto nearly jumped out of his skin, his back hit the wall with a thud as he whirled around the face the intruder, "Who's there!"
The strange remained in the shadows, but two large sapphire eyes could be seen in the shadows, glowing in an unearthly manner.
"I, too, was a priest in Egypt. . . Seto, you are the reincarnation of the spirit of the priest Seto. . . his spirit, his memories, his life. . . is buried deep within you. Do you accept this as a truth?"
"Are you still in denial?" He sounded almost in disbelief.
"I don't know, I. . . hey wait a minute! How do you know about all of this?"
"Call it an intuition. . . answer my question."
"I suppose that I have no reason to deny it. . . all of the evidence is there. . . all of the proof. . . and these memories. . ."
This mysterious man stepped from the shadows now to retrieve the rod, which had been carelessly tossed to the floor those many moments ago. He was revealed to be a rather young-looking man with a white turban and loose-fitting, white, middle-eastern robe. A feeling of familiarity struck Seto, but he tried his best to ignore it, "What are you doing?"
Shadi held the rod out to the brunette, "Accept your past. . . accept his memories as your own. . . after all, you are him. . . you just lack the memories that you once held sacred. . . this is the afterlife that you and the Pharaoh had promised to live together in. . . are you going to deny him that life?" All the while, the golden staff crept ever-closer to Seto's porcelain hands.
"N-no. . . I wouldn't. . ." His fingers had minds of their own as they ran over the soft gold, soon clutching the relic tightly and holding the object to his chest in an almost protective manner, "I accept my past. . . I accept my past as a priest of the Pharaoh Yami. . . I. . ." Tears fell from his long-frozen eyes, "I don't love him but. . . I do like him. . . and perhaps. . . perhaps if we get to know each other again, and if these new memories ever start to make sense. . . then I can give him the afterlife that I once promised. . ."
He glanced to where his visitor had stood, only to find empty space. . . yet there was something different. . .
On his bed, there lay a rather large portrait. . . the Pharaoh and the Priest Seto with their fingers entwined, sapphire and crimson locking together in a love-filled gaze, royal garbs flowing out beautifully from behind them, and the sun setting over the water. . . the water that Seto quickly recognized as more of a pool-like thing. . . the sea shrine. . .
Laying the painting aside, he lay down to try at sleeping again. . . a feeling of resolve coming over him slowly. . . and he drifted of into a lovely sleep, filled with dreams and images of the one he once loved. . . and the one that he hoped to love again. . .
Sad ending? Happy ending? It all depends on how you interpret it! I love you all so much for reading and reviewing my story! I had never expected this story to expand as much as it did! This is the longest chapter I've ever written. . . and perhaps my favorite as well. Please feel free to keep in touch with me through e-mail or AIM (I am currently on the screen name cryoftheicetears). I am planning on getting a live journal soon, and you will be able to find all of my ideas there. . . who knows, maybe I'll discuss a possible sequel? I hope to hear from you all!

Need Help With Carnival/carousel Cake
Decorating By joyc21 Updated 10 Jun 2010 , 8:23pm by thecakeprincess
Hello! I am new here. My daughter is having a carnival themed birthday party at the end of the month. I got this idea to make her a carousel birthday cake. The only thing is I have absolutely ZERO experience with designing cakes.........Is this too ambitious for a 1st cake? Are there any carousel cakes in the photo gallery that I may be able to follow? Any tips or advice for a newbie?
Thanks so much in advance.
I would say, yes...it is ambitious for a first cake...however...I also say...do it. LOL Just jump in with both feet. That's normally how I go about doing things and figure out the details along the way.
Also...read, read, read.
I have learned so much from reading stuff here on CC.
You will never know what you can do if you don't try.
But have a back up plan and be prepared.
Being that it is for your daughter, you have some wiggle room.
As far as photos...just do a search for carousel and see what you come up with.
Good Luck & Happy Caking!
[img] Hi joyc21 Nice to meet you , I post a picture from a carrousel look on home page (most recent photos)
Here, try this one...from the first couple of pages I viewed, this one looks like one of the easier ones... (no offense to the poster, just the others are more elaborate and maybe too ambitious for a newbie).
Thanks for the replies. I'm going to read as much as I can and then I think I'll do a small trial run to see how it works out.
You can do it!! I think a trial run is a great idea.
