Title: Saturday Morning Cartoons
Author: Mademoiselle Juko Pax-Prime
Rating: PG
Summary: Normally, Arcee objected to lounging about on Saturdays, but today she just couldn't resist. [Bumblebee/Arcee brother/sister fluff, based off of Transformers: Prime.]
Content/Warnings: Very sappy.
Feedback: Makes me happy and possibly better.
Spoilers: None.
Disclaimer: I do not and never will own Transformers. This was made purely for fun.
Arcee stretched, rolling her shoulders and rubbing a crick out of her neck. She knew it was still pretty early, because it was quiet. Normally, Ratchet was up and about by seven A.M., and could be heard working on repairs, or cursing broken appliances.
Arcee considered simply laying back down on her berth and slipping back into recharge; a luxury she didn't get very often. Jack and his mother happened to be in Washington visiting relatives. But, instead Arcee decided to surprise everyone by being the first one up, a rare occurrence.
She walked out of her bay and to the main bay, congratulating herself on not going back into recharge. She figured that she would clean up a little bit, since Ratchet was really the only one who ever tidied up. But as she was heading to storage to find cleaning supplies, she noticed Bumblebee in front of the television. His arms were resting on the railing of the platform, and his chin rested on them. His big blue optics were focused on the screen, on which a children's cartoon played. The sound was turned down so low that Arcee had not noticed it upon entering.
Arcee walked over to Bumblebee. "Good morning, 'Bee." The yellow-and-black 'bot jumped, obviously startled by her sudden appearance. He looked at her, and gave a low beep and a whir. "You're up early." Two more beeps and a short whistle. "Cartoons? Really?" Bumblebee nodded. Arcee smiled. "Isn't that a human thing?" Bumblebee shrugged, and issued a series of beeps. "Yeah, I guess you're right." Arcee looked at the screen, where a pink cat stood upright like a human, and tried to wordlessly warn a goofy-looking man of something. The little man rushed out of his house, and a second later, a tree fell on it. Arcee raised an eyebrow.
"Kind of violent, 'Bee." Beep. Beep. Whir. Beep. Whistle. "It gets worse? And these are for human children?" Beep. Arcee narrowed her optics. "I question these humans more and more each day." She folded her arms and watched the screen. The pink cat was quite a trouble-maker, she decided. Maybe it was like a Decepticon and wanted to get rid of humans.
Arcee stood and watched the cartoons for quite a while. Every so often, she would glance at Bumblebee, and her spark would warm a little at the obvious joy that these whimsical moving pictures brought him. He was just like a child, when he wasn't in battle. Simple things brought him great happiness, and he was so trusting—almost naïve. It almost made her forget how strong he really was. How he saved her from Airachnid. She tried never to think of what could have happened if he and Cliffjumper had not come to her aid.
Arcee closed her eyes and leaned her head against Bumblebee's shoulder. He issued a vey quiet whir, and Arcee smiled.
"What's this?" asked Ratchet, from behind them. Arcee and Bumblebee turned. Ratchet yawned, and stretched. "I didn't know anyone besides the children watched cartoons."
"Neither did I," Arcee replied, smiling at Bumblebee. He could not smile, but his optics said it all.

2017 GMC YukonEnlarge Photo
Both among just a few full-size, body-on-frame SUVs on the market, the GMC Yukon and Lincoln Navigator are uniquely American—and American-sized.
They're quite luxurious, too. Although Lincoln's traditional luxury rival is Cadillac, with the ascension of the Cadillac Escalade as a pop-culture icon and status symbol, the GMC Yukon Denali is more of a direct rival to the Lincoln Navigator.
MORE: Read our reviews of the 2017 GMC Yukon and 2017 Lincoln Navigator
Using our new scoring system, we've rated the impressive Yukon a 7.0 out of 10, and give the Navigator the same score. (Read more about how we rate cars.)
These models stand as quite compelling alternatives for those who need to do more than just carry around the family. They command a presence; they work for taking clients out to dinner; and they can even flex their muscles with trailer-towing when necessary.
The Navigator was starting to look like a forgotten relic in the Lincoln lineup; then for 2015 the brand gave it a new direction, with some freshening of its details, a new infotainment system, and a more fuel-efficient (and stronger, albeit smaller) twin-turbo engine. Meanwhile, the GMC Yukon was fully redesigned for 2015, with much-improved ride and refinement, stronger and more fuel-efficient powertrains, and new flat-folding third-row seats.
Both of these models are offered in multiple lengths. The Yukon family of SUVs includes the standard-length Yukon, the long-wheelbase Yukon XL, and the luxurious Yukon Denali. And for the Lincoln, the difference is between Navigator and longer Navigator L models. And it's worth noting that, under its tony skin, the Navigator is the same vehicle as the Ford Expedition.
Is hulking size and mass, a high hood and huge front grille enough of an extroverted statement? Both of these models make that, although there's little more than that on the outside. The Navigator's grille got a little slimmer in its last minor refresh, with new LED accent lighting squaring off its headlamps and lowering the rear end visually. The Yukon, meanwhile, looks straightforward and purposeful, with a more chiseled look on the outside, countering the Navigator's more rounded look.
Inside, the Navigator's twin-binnacle dash wears a new leather-wrapped dash with twin-stitched seams. It speaks to a more classic luxury aesthetic, while the layout of the Yukon Denali goes for more of a modern luxury look, with a cleaner layout and ambient lighting. In both models, big touchscreen systems now dominate the center stack, and cabins are now covered in soft-touch materials.
As for what's under the hood, it's completely different in these two models. Neither of these two models are especially nimble or responsive to quick power demands, but it's the Yukon Denali and its 6.2-liter V-8, making 420 horsepower and 460 pound-feet of torque, that's the clear winner here. The Navigator's engine, a turbocharged V-6, kicks out nearly as much—380 hp and 460 lb-ft—and its 6-speed automatic is a little bit smoother than the 6-speed auto in the GM trucks (soon to be replaced by an 8-speed in all models). Direct injection and cylinder deactivation help bring the big GM V-8s surprisingly good mileage under some conditions, so the difference between them and the Lincoln's turbo V-6 isn't as vast as you might expect in real-world driving.

Colostrum FAQs
What is Colostrum and where does NOW® Colostrum come from?
Colostrum is the pre-milk fluid secreted by cows in the first hours after birth. It is a nutrient-rich dairy product that supplies immune system factors to young calves to stimulate their immune systems and protect them from infections.
Our "colostrum is produced from healthy, nutritionally-supplemented cows raised in the United States on USDA- and FDA-certified dairy farms. These cattle are carefully fed a scientifically-designed diet that contains the proper balance of legumes and grasses along with minerals and trace minerals to ensure consistently high potency colostrum."
- Manufactured according to GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices).
- Collected within 12 hours of production. The extraction process is humane and does not adversely affect the mother cow or calf. The calf still gets adequate amounts of colostrum from nursing.
- Free of synthetic hormones, pesticides and antibiotics.
- Processed using minimal heat to ensure the bioavailability of its nutritional factors.
- Unadulterated to maintain its natural wholeness and nutrition.
- We use HPLC (High Performance Liquid Chromatography) for the optimal analysis of compounds in each batch of colostrum to ensure efficacy.
Should NOW® Colostrum be kept refrigerated? If I accidentally leave it out for a while, will it still be good?
Colostrum itself does not require refrigeration. If left unrefrigerated, Colostrum will still be effective.

"In was very impressed with the speed of response to my issue (dripping tap) - all carried out with professionalism and speed, and all resolved. I will definitely call Dave next time I need a plumber."
Samantha Pilditch 2nd May 2017
"We've had Dave do a few jobs for us since moving to Lichfield and he's always done the work with no problems and of a high standard. Coming up with solutions to problems we've been unsure about. Dave knows what he's doing and gets on with the job quickly and efficiently. His great attitude makes it a breeze having work done."

Richard Phylip-Jones 28th March 2017
"Dave replaced our old Powemax boiler with a new Baxi eco blue advance 33kw with 10 year warranty. He also installed a new flue, Magna clean system, lime fighter and Nest remote thermostat controller. He also hot flushed the system with mc3 cleaner and added mc1 protector on the final fill. We are very pleased with the work. Pipework is very neat, the installation looks great and is performing well. Dave worked extremely hard, he is reliable and got the job done in the time he estimated. The work is of a high quality. All rubbish was removed including the very heavy old Powermax. Final cost for the job was exactly what Dave had quoted. Dave is very friendly and was always happy to answer any questions. He took the time to show us how everything worked. All in all very pleased."
Caroline Williams 1st February 2017
"Reliable, friendly and fixed the problem with no fuss. Would definitely recommend."
dave nash 22nd December 2016
"Dave was excellent, he carried out repair on a boiler at my elderly mothers house for a fraction of the cost that British Gas had quoted 4k for a full new system which was not needed. As I do not live near my mum it was brilliant that Dave kept me updated with what the problem was & the work needed & when he would attend & how much it would cost. A thoroughly honest, reliable & decent man. I cannot recommend him highly enough."

The track I'll be opening my next DJ set with
Hercules & Love Affair: I Try To Talk To You (Seth Troxler remix)
I recently got this and it's amazing. I'm a sucker for arpeggios and the long build in this is perfect for starting off even at peak time. The lyrics as you'd expect from John Grant are fantastic: deep and meaningful.
The track I always play to rescue a dancefloor
Doorly: I Want You To Dance
I had that moment where I thought the cheers in my headphones were from the crowd... Facepalm!
The track that currently gets the most rewinds
Woods: Bend Beyond
I don't really rewind when DJing but I've been listening to this loads, among a whole load of other heavier rock music.
The artist I wish I'd signed to my label
Everything he touches is fantastic.
The track I'd play to show off my eclectic tastes
Black Rox: The Music Sounds Better With 'Fro (Soft Rocks Adjustment)
An Afrobeat take on Stardust that caught my attention.
The track that got me out of bed this morning
Brand New: Quiet Things That No-One Ever Knows
I listen to them on a daily basis so no real change. I've got their lyrics tattooed on me.
The ideal festival track
KiNK: Existence
There's so many options for this question, but big building pianos and energy: tick, tick, tick!
The track I'd play at my auntie's wedding
Earth, Wind & Fire: September
Weddings are all about big cheesy guilty pleasures, and this is one of the best. When my auntie got married I was about six, and took to singing the Neighbours theme really loud because I was bored.
The track I'd play at sunset in Ibiza
Outboxx: Sunshine Mills
My experience of sunsets is like, "Yeah, now the party is on", so you need a track with plenty of melody but at the same time some cheeky low end to loosen those dance moves a little bit.
The best track by my favourite new artist
Max Graef: Bummse (Remix)
His album is obscenely good; this is one I play out a lot and absolutely love.
The track I'd play at my funeral
Death Cab For Cutie: Follow You Into The Dark
This is beautiful, but I might leave this choice up to someone else.
Ben Pearce plays Found festival, E2, Sat, foundfestival.com

What most people forget about school science lessons is that, in among the mind-numbing list of chemical formulae, they occasionally involved some brain-shatteringly exciting explosions. Now in its fifth year, Brighton Science Festival continues to remind everyone how fun labs can be. The Bright Sparks Family Fun Day (Sat) features a Rocket Belt Man, Marble Runs (thankfully not bowels-related) and a chance to make your own thunder machines. Other highlights include a show about Murphy's (or is it Sod's?) Law (Wed), and the irresistibly titled Simply Astronomical! With Beauty and the Boffins (Thu). The finale, Big Science Saturday, features the Science Of Superheroes, Robot Guerrilla Wars and the Guardian's own Ben Goldacre exposing dodgy science.

New Braunfels Herald Zeitung (Newspaper) - November 29, 1996, New Braunfels, Texas Herald-Zeitung g Friday, November 29, 1996 □ 5A Names in the News Stuck hatch cancels shuttle space walk By MICHELLE KOIDiN Associated Press Writer SPACE CENTER, Houston — They pushed. They pulled. They tugged. They jiggled. But two astronauts trying to leave the space shuttle Columbia for a spacewalk couldn't open the hatch. Finally, after more than two hours of struggling with the handle Thursday night, Tamara Jemigan and Thomas Jones were told to take off their bulky spacesuits and forget it for the night. "Today didn't go exactly as we had hoped," commander Kenneth Cockrell told Mission Control. Jemigan and Jones could not fully rotate the handle to release the hatch, which separates a cramped indoor chamber from the shuttle's open cargo bay. They said something seemed to be jamming the latch. "I'm pushing as hard as I can," Jones said. Flight director Rob Kelso said today it didn't appear debris was in the way. lf the problem is fixed quickly, the two could perform the spacewalk as early as today, NASA said. Another option is to cancel both spacewalks planned for the flight, which is scheduled to end on Thursday. The second spacewalk was scheduled for Saturday. The astronauts, who*had trained for their first spacewalks for the past year, took off the handle and put it back on several times. That didn't help. Wearing big gloves and confined in a small area, the astronauts had a hard time applying much force to the handle. Jones tried standing on Jemigan so she could put more force on it. The chamber was repressurized so astronaut Story Musgrave could go in and check the handle with his bare hands. But his luck was no better. Jerry Ross, the astronaut on the ground in charge of spacewalking, said from his experience in orbit, the hatch was easy to open. "It's fairly light forces overall. That's what was a little bit surprising to us," Ross said. The force is "certainly not as high as a lug wrench on a bolt," he added.World Briefs Algerians vote to and religion m poi ivies ALGIERS, Algeria (AP) — Algerians overwhelmingly approved a constitutional referendum to ban religion in politics and expand presidential powers, the government announced today. Opposition parties called Thursday's election a sham and the referendum to revise the 1989 constitution a setback for democracy. The referendum passed with 8S.8 percent of voters in favor and 14.1 percent against, Interior Minister Moustafa Ben Mansour said during a brief news conference. Voter turnout was 79 percent, he said. Ben Mansour praised the "general atmosphere of enthusiasm and freedom in which this referendum took place." The opposition party Rally for Culture and Democracy — which watched the election from outside polling centers in Oran, Tlemcen, Tiara, Annaba and Constantine — estimated a nationwide turnout of only about 30 percent, its director, Said Sadi, told The Associated Press. Rwandan lafugaaa to bv ktentHM batara airdrop GOMA, Zaire (AP) — A Canadian foot patrol and international aid workers will try to locate thousands of Rwandan refugees in the Zairian mountains and encourage them to return home before any efforts are made to airdrop supplies, the leader of a multinational force said. "There are still vulnerable groups out there and we must find them," Canadian Lt. Gen. Maurice Baril said during a tour Thursday of the Rwanda-Zaire border region. Bari! said the unarmed patrol would accompany aid workers on a mission today in search of the estimated 100,000 refugees. He said airdrops would only be used as a last resort.Grand Ola Opry finds its way back home at Ryman NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Some Grand Ole Opry stars are going home for the holidays — to the Ryman Auditorium. Martina McBride, Ricky Skaggs and Porter Wagoner are among thosie who will perform Dec. 15 at the Opry's historic former home to benefit the Opry Performers Fund, which helps pay for entertainers' medical needs. "For every Opry artist, the Ryman has a special home feeling and always will," said Opry member Jeannie Seely, who is coordinating the event. "All of the stars on the show except Martina performed on the Opry when it broadcast from the Ryman, so this is indeed a homecoming," she said. The Opry called the Ryman Auditorium home from 1943 until it moved to the Opryland theme park in 1974.Dole offers thanks to supportive 8-year-old SEWICKLEY, Pa. (AP) — Eight-year-old Kelly Catalane is too young to vote, but she was still disappointed that Bob Dole lost the presidential election. So Kelly dropped him a consolation note, which the erstwhile Republican candidate answered with a phone call. "I was very surprised and very happy when he called," said Kelly, a third-grader in this Pittsburgh suburb. Kelly was at school the first time a Dole aide called on Tuesday. Her mother, Liz, said Kelly would be home at about 4:30 p.m. Soon after Kelly arrived, the phone rang. The conversation lasted about four minutes. Dole asked Kelly her age and whether her parents had voted for him, ther wished her a happy Thanksgiving and thanked her for her letter. "He said it helped him very much and made him feel better about the campaign," Kelly said.Have you given to the United Way?We're Meeting The National Association of Retired Federal Employees is having its annual Christmas party at 6 p.m. Monday at the New Braunfels Holiday Inn.

The Story of Jack and Rossie Chapter FourMature
Chapter Four. Jack
I stayed in the courthouse with Rossie for hours that night. I asked her about her family, and she listed their names; Al, Suzie, Jonathan and Noreen. She last-minutedly added the name Helene. I had expected her to go into a little more detail, but before I could ask any more questions, she asked me what my family was like.
I was apprehensive as I started talking.
"My parents are both doctors," I told her. "My dad's a midwife and my mam is a surgeon."
"Educated!" said Rossie, with a grin. "I was going to be a surgeon for a while. But life got in the way, you know?"
This threw me into a shocked silence. "How old are you?" I demanded.
"Nineteen. I did my Leaving Cert. before the summer."
"Really? How did you do?"
"560 points."
I raised my eyebrows. I was about to ask her why she hadn't gone on to college to be a surgeon, but then I snapped back to where we were; in an old courthouse that was currently her home.
"What year are you in?" she asked.
"Fifth," I said. I also told her how I had no idea what I was going to do when I finished school.
As I'd been talking to her, I took in her appearance more thoroughly. Her clothes definitely wouldn't have given away the fact that she was living in these conditions. Neither would anything else really; she didn't smell bad and she wasn't underweight. And now she'd attended school and sat her Leaving?
What had happened to you to end you up in this place?
Rossie asked me what time it was.
"Half past nine," I said, checking my watch.
She suddenly seemed flustered. "Um, Jack, you'd better get going," she said, getting to her feet.
"Why?" I asked, looking up at her.
"Al will be home soon. And if he knows you know we're living here..." She shuddered and shook her head. "You won't tell anyone, will you, Jack?" Panic started to leak into her tone, her eyes becoming wider with fear. "You're not going to go to the Gardai? You won't tell your parents about us?"
I go to my feet and instinctively touched her arm. "I won't," I assured her. I'd hoped my reassurance that her secret was safe with me would convince her to let me stay longer, but she still bustled me across the room towards the gap in the corner of the wall.
"Oh!" she gasped, looking at the bracelet on her wrist. "This is really pretty," she said. "The girl you bought it for is really lucky to have a boyfriend with such good taste."
I looked at the bracelet and shrugged. "I'm not her boyfriend. I don't even think I..."
I watched her turn her hand over and start to unfasten the bracelet.
"Hang on to it," I said. She started to protest, but I interrupted her. "I'll gte it from you tomorrow, yeah?"
Her soft brown eyes smiled. My insides melted. I couldn't believe this was the same girl that just hours ago had been about to kill me.
We said bye, and I crawled back through the grass and weeds.
As I continued on home in the dark that evening, Rossie... even though I knew the amount of crap I would face when I got in... My heart was lighter than it had felt in a long time.
