text: ConAgra Foods, Cargill and CHS are pleased to announce today that their new joint venture flour milling company, Ardent Mills, is expected to begin operations on or about May 29, 2014. Today's announcement follows the conclusion of regulatory review by the U.S. Department of Justice and the successful completion of all international regulatory clearances. The transaction remains subject to financing and other certain customary closing conditions. As announced in March 2013, Ardent Mills will bring together two of the nation's leading and most respected flour milling companies: ConAgra Mills and Horizon Milling, a Cargill-CHS joint venture formed in 2002. The new company will take advantage of the combined assets, capabilities and experience of ConAgra Foods, Cargill and CHS to bring innovative flour and grain products, services and solutions to the marketplace. Ardent Mills will operate as an independent joint venture of its three parent companies, Omaha, Neb.-based ConAgra Foods, Minneapolis, Minn.-based Cargill and St. Paul, Minn.-based CHS. Paul Maass, president of Private Brands and Commercial Foods for ConAgra Foods said, "We are excited to reach this milestone in the formation of Ardent Mills and eagerly anticipate the joint venture beginning operations this month. We strongly believe in the merits of this transaction and the benefits it will bring to customers, consumers, wheat suppliers, shareholders and employees." ConAgra Foods and Cargill expect to complete the sale of four flour milling facilities prior to May 29 to Miller Milling Company – a U.S.-based subsidiary of Tokyo-based Nisshin Flour Milling Inc. Following the completion of the joint venture, Ardent Mills' operations and services will be supported by 40 flour mills, three bakery mix facilities and a specialty bakery, all located in the U.S., Canada and Puerto Rico. "This joint venture positions Ardent Mills to deliver greater value and innovation to customers and consumers while enhancing customer and consumer choice," said Scott Portnoy, corporate vice president, Cargill.

Every now and then we get these cryptic e-mails from people trying to drum up interest in some indie venture or another, but very rarely do they ever turn out to be anything. This week, though, we got word from a place called The Scream Factory who seem poised to do some pretty cool things in horror comics and film soon and already have some quite interesting names involved.
A confidential source close to Scream Factory has told us that a big announcement is in the works for next week but was able to reveal that Scream Factory is working on both comics and movies with people like Robert Kurtzman, Dee Snider, Tobin Bell and Jesse Blaze Snider. We were told that some series which have so far gone unfinished, likely those under the Fangoria Comics header, will finally see completion, a brand-new series will be launched, and a movie project that's been sitting in the wings (Kurtzman's Bump perhaps?) will finally see some movement.
The best way to make sure you don't miss out on what, specifically, The Scream Factory will be doing is to befriend them on MySpace right now. And keep your eyeballs glued to Dread Central for all the specifics as soon as they're available!
Make everyone scream in the Dread Central forums!

Douglas Owens was one of my finest students at Tusculum College. He was active in varsity sports, religious life and theater. He will have a positive influence on Hollywood because of his genuineness and strong moral values.
Is this something that his reps are proud of? I guess its good to be working but i doubt anyone would be proud to be working on this. slow news day i suppose.

Staphylococcus aureus bacteria is so common that it can be found in three out of 10 people at any given time. It is not dangerous unless it enters the body via cuts or other wounds. Even so, staph is usually benign and causes minor skin infections, at worst. Prior illness contributes to the likelihood of the staph infection becoming something worse. In hospitals, a strain of staph bacteria called methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) has taken hold. MRSA is resistant to multiple antibiotics.
Things You'll Need
- Soap or detergent
- Disinfectant
- UV lamp
- Alcohol-based sanitizer
Clean surfaces with soap or detergent to wash away dirt to make the next step, disinfecting, more effective.
Apply a disinfectant and keep the surface wet with it for the length of time indicated on the product label. If no time is indicated, a minute will usually suffice. Use household bleach as a disinfectant (if no other disinfectant is available) only after diluting it 100 times, i.e. half a cup of bleach to a gallon of water.
Wash linens with detergent and bleach using the hot water and hot dryer settings. Be aware that bleach can lighten colored items.
Wave a portable ultraviolet lamp over surfaces to kill staph. This approach is especially good for irregularly shaped items such as computer keyboards. The amount of time to hold the lamp over each point to completely kill the bacteria depends on the intensity of the UV rays used.
Use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer with an alcohol content of at least 62 percent.
Tips & Warnings
- Staph is spread by skin-to-skin contact and shared items such as towels, razors and bandages (especially if porous or able to cause cuts). While it's possible for staph to survive on other surfaces, such as a school bus seat, for hours or even days, it is unlikely to lead to infectious transmission due to the nature of how it infects (through open wounds, not through the nose or mouth).
- Check the disinfectant label of the product you are using to make sure that staph is one of the bacteria it kills.
- Don't confuse sanitizers with disinfectants. Disinfectants are meant to destroy bacteria or inactivate them. Sanitizers are meant to reduce germs to safe levels. Therefore, use disinfectants instead of sanitizers.

While it may not be difficult to buy replacement parts for GMC vehicles, these days the necessity for nothing but the highest quality are required to fix your automobile. It's not a regular occurrence that you find yourself in need of a replacement A/C Condenser to fix your car or truck. Anyone who drives a GMC knows that when it comes to repairing their vehicle only the most superior replacement parts will do. When your GMC C1500 Suburban was born, it was destined for a person with discerning taste who prioritizes trusted quality in their automobile.
Keeping the interiors of our cars and trucks cool and comfortable has been possible since HVAC was pioneered around 70 years ago. The lifeblood of the air conditioning system is a refrigerant called R134a. The refrigerant emits cold air after a simple thermal reaction, and the A/C condenser on your GMC C1500 Suburban acts like a radiator (it also looks like one) by cooling the refrigerant after it leaves the compressor, and then sends it to the drier and expansion valve. You can locate your GMC C1500 Suburban A/C condenser sitting right in front of your radiator, as that is the easiest place to soak up air while your car is driving. If your A/C condenser has sprung a leak, then you will likely notice your air conditioning blowing lukewarm air as a result of the lack of refrigerant.
Trust in the value of the parts you get from carpartsdiscount.com and save time and money on all your upcoming repairs. Buying new GMC parts from www.carpartsdiscount.com means you are getting the best deal on the most superior original and aftermarket replacement C1500 Suburban parts on the internet. When your GMC requires a top quality replacement A/C Condenser, there's no need to waste time looking anywhere other than the authority, Car Parts Discount. Just choose your year from the list below to find the right GMC C1500 Suburban A/C Condenser for your 1999, 1998, 1997, 1996, 1995, 1994, 1993, 1992, 1986, 1985, 1984, 1983, 1982, 1981, 1980, 1979 model.

It is that time of year again – winter colds are all around us. Two weeks ago my annual fall cold set in and I was coughing and feeling sluggish all week. It is crazy how much a cold can drain your energy and effect your day. Now I am on the mend, finally! Now that my cold has diminished, I am determined keep it away for the rest of the winter! So today for our Friday Five here on Angel Road I thought I would gather together some useful, lesser-known tips to help keep your immune system strong and healthy this winter.
1. Make sure you are getting enough Vitamin D. As the colder weather sets in we often spend reduced time outside in sunlight, which is the ideal way to obtain Vitamin D. However, there are some other great ways to still get vitamin D: mushrooms and egg yolks for example, maybe have a vegetable omelet for breakfast. Many people reach for supplements of Vitamin D in the colder months when we spend less time outside and when the common workday prevents exposure to sunlight. Not all supplements are created equal – look for oil based supplements such as cod liver oil.
2. Consider adding probiotics into your routine. 'Pro ' what you ask? Probiotics provide good bacteria to aid the functioning of your gut, reduce inflammation and improve your immune system. Your gut plays a major factor in protecting your body so it needs to be strong and well functioning. Probiotics can come in supplement form but we like to simply grab a Kombucha Tea every once and while from the health food store.
3. A surprising nutrient to also contemplate is Zinc which can bolster your immune system. If you do come down with the dreaded cold, zinc will help reduce the time frame of your cold and could cut your cold down by two or three days. Zinc aids the thymus glands and can help you recover quickly. Pumpkin seeds (the perfect snack in the fall) nuts, beans, spinach or mushrooms are all foods that contain zinc.
4. A key factor in the strength of our immune systems is the function of our white blood cells. It is important to be mindful of what foods we ingest that can negatively affect our white blood cell function. Reach for foods that have lots of antioxidant vitamins such as carrots, onions, spinach, brussels sprouts and sweet potatoes. Fruit is also great, especially apples, kiwi, citrus fruits, berries and red grapes. Another thing to consider is your alcohol consumption; while drinking in moderation is fine, too much alcohol can inhibit your white blood cell function. For more advice on what vitamins to have in your diet and what foods to eat to aid your immune system, this Harvard Health article is very helpful.
5. To keep our immune system strong and ready to fight off infection we should consider what we put into our bodies, but also how we treat our bodies. Stress is a major influencers to a diminished immune system, making you more likely to catch a cold. Many of us too often accept stress as an inevitable part of life, but simple short meditation or aromatherapy treatments can make a world of difference. We also need to make sleep a priority. When we sleep our body has time to re-nourish itself, mend and fight off infection. If you feel a cold coming on, be sure to aim for 6-8 hours of sleep a night. Regular exercise has also shown to help fight off infection due to the stronger white blood cells that are developed through exercise. Routine exercise also helps to release your endorphins allowing your body to relax and aid your sleep. However, when you feeling slightly under the weather do not push your self too hard, take it easy and maybe take a walk or go to yoga. Of course, the age old lesson from our mothers' still applies, some fresh air or deep breathing can do wonders. Head out for a walk or open your windows to let in some fresh air.

If you though the drama was over in The Only Way is Essex, you would be very very wrong. And have clearly never watched the show in your life.
After Wednesday's blazing row between Gemma Collins, Bobby, Danielle Armstrong and James Lock, the cheating rumours haven't died down.
Sunday's episode sees Lockie try to clear the air with Bobby, as the pair sit down for a frank discussion.
But it doesn't do much good, as shortly afterwards, Bobby meets up with Danielle with more information from the mystery Brighton girl.
But will she have any interest in what he has to say? Er, probably not, if you ask us.
Bobby has defended his actions on Twitter though, saying: "There is a MAJOR difference between being loyal and shit stirring."
But Danielle isn't the only one affected by the rumours though, as a tearful Jess Wright admits to Elliot that the cheating chat has stirred up painful memories of her problems with Ricky.
Elsewhere, Gemma is also in tears as she reveals a secret about Arg while Chloe's dog has the worst day ever when Mario tries to train him.
Why Kleenex doesn't sponsor the show is beyond us.

US: Sugar firms file fresh action over HFCS marketing
By Michelle Russell | 23 November 2011
A coalition of US sugar processors and refiners have filed fresh legal action against member companies of the Corn Refiners Association (CRA) over "deceptive marketing" of high fructose corn syrup (HFCS).
United States Sugar Corp, Western Sugar Cooperative, Michigan Sugar Co, and seven other companies are suing US agribusiness giants Archer Daniels Midland and Cargill, CRA announced yesterday (23 November). The amended complaint alleges that senior executives of the agribusiness conglomerates "organize[d] collectively in order to dominate and ... control" an ongoing marketing campaign to rename HFCS as "corn sugar".
The disagreement between the two industries dates back four years when the CRA re-branded HFSC as "corn sugar" and launched an advertising campaign. In September last year, the association petitioned the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for an official name change.
However, in April, the sugar industry filed a lawsuit charging the corn refining companies with "false advertising". The FDA has asked the corn sugar marketers to refrain from using the term until it considers the request but their advertising campaign has continued.
The fresh legal action argues that the ad campaign claims HFCS is a "natural" product equivalent to real sugar from cane and beet plants. The sugar farmers however, believe the claims are untrue and are seeking a court order to halt the adverts and financial damages.
"This litigation is about false advertising funded by CRA's biggest members," said Adam Fox, attorney for sugar growers at law firm Squire Sanders. "Sugar cane and beet farmers want the defendants to stop their false and misleading statements that harm consumers, harm the makers of real sugar and harm any dialogue based on the truth. This lawsuit seeks to put an end to the intentional deception."
However, Audrae Erickson, president of the CRA, said the sugar industry was "attempting to use the courts to stifle free speech" but "lacks the facts to support its claims".
"We believe that the sugar industry's views are misleading American consumers," Erickson said. "The CRA will continue its work to educate consumers about high fructose corn syrup and will vigorously oppose the sugar industry's attempt to stifle public discussion of this important health issue."

The Congregation of the Sisters of Our Lady of Sorrows was founded in 1839 in Coriano, Italy, by Blessed Elisabetta Renzi. She was committed to providing both human and Christian formation and education to the children and young women of her times. Many benefited from Mother Elisabetta's work in education and her assistance to the poor. She was a channel of God's grace to all she met. Soon the sisters were in great demand in Italy, and the Congregation quickly grew in numbers of sisters, diversity of educational charitable ministries, and geographical extent.
In October 1947, the Congregation moved beyond the borders of Italy and opened its first mission in Louisiana. The sisters were invited by Bishop Greco to the Diocese of Alexandria to educate the disadvantaged, which included minorities and children with developmental disabilities. Today, the sisters continue to work in educating the young and the poor in six countries around the world (Italy, U.S., Mexico, Brazil, Bangladesh, and Zimbabwe). Though their ministries have expanded to embrace the needs of the times, in all they do, the sisters remain faithful to Mother Elisabetta's charism, that of "witnessing to the preferential love of Christ to the young, the poor, the weak, and the needy."

Financial Word of the Week: Charitable Deductions
Last week we went over what a tax deduction is. This week we'll focus specifically on the deduction for making charitable donations.
If there are specific charities that you're passionate about and want to help, the first step is to confirm that they are qualified to receive tax-deductible contributions before you give them anything. Ask them to send you their IRS letter recognizing their tax-exempt status. You can also call the IRS directly (toll-free) at 1-877-829-5500 or visit the IRS website to confirm an organization's status.
Once you have confirmed their status, you need to keep track of all your donations to that organization. The best way is to ask for a receipt every time you donate cash or property.
Some things to keep in mind:
- You cannot deduct contributions to specific individuals or families. Even if you give money to a qualified charity, you may not specify someone to receive the benefit.
- There are limits to how much you can deduct. Generally, you may not deduct more than 50% of your Adjusted Gross Income (AGI). For example, if your AGI is $30,000 and you contribute $20,000 in cash to a qualified charity, your deduction will be limited to $15,000. If your income is above a certain threshold, the amount you can deduct may be reduced.
- If you volunteer for a qualified organization, some unreimbursed, out-of-pocket expenses may be deductible as well. A deduction of this type might include mileage for driving to and from the volunteer location. However you may not deduct the value of your time, such as income you lost because you were volunteering instead of working.
For more information on Charitable Contributions, see IRS Publication 526‡.

Return to Satellite 5 AU: "Bad Wolf", "The Parting of the Ways" and "Born Again".
Chapter Eighteen: Apart But Not Separate
Four hundred and forty-three levels up from the observation deck, Jack and the rest of the rag tag group of defenders ready themselves for the attack they knew would be coming. The Dalek race had been thought long gone from the universe, for the small band of fighters they sincerely wished the monsters had stayed that way.
Jack stationed his people up and down the wide corridor, partially hidden behind wall supports. "Alright everyone follow my orders and don't give any ground. The best of luck to all of you."
"Pavel, did your team managed fix that extra surprise?" Jack inquired of the male tech, who handed off a large gun to the Hindi woman.
Datvich's gaze stayed steady on the dark skinned woman's face. He had hoped at one time they might get together, shaking his head Pavel answered. "Yes, Captain it's all sorted."
Lynda watched the monitor transfixed. The display clearly showed the Daleks descending on the Game Station. The metal menace's glided directly to the closest unimpeded airlock.
Lynda swallowed down the fright that had taken over her vocal cords. "Doctor. Jack, you guys were spot on. They're going for floor four hundred ninety fourth. They're trying to force it open."
The Doctor rushed about even faster as Lynda's words seemed to echo throughout the chamber. His hands flew plugging in cables, tapping keys on the computer panel and using the sonic screwdriver to sync everything. He worked so quickly that he made the massive satellite shake violently, it caused the stranded humans to grab something to keep themselves from crashing onto the floor.
The Daleks were undeterred by the disturbance, they continued to glide effortlessly, not even breaking their formation, into the opening they'd made on the four hundred ninety fourth floor.
Rose stood in front of the TRADIS' console and time rotor, she leaned over inhaling great lungs fulls of air as she attempted to catch her breath after the long run back. "Why didn't I think of it before, she just needed to reverse. The TARDIS is clever she could do it. Yeah."
"Well, maybe but how do we get it… Her to do it." Mickey replied sarcastically.
Rose ignored Mickey's comment. "The Doctor always said the TARDIS is telepathic. This ship is can listen. The Doctor would constantly go on about the fact the TARDIS gets in your head translating languages all the time, you know telepathically. Cause she's alive, really a living being."
"You lot, go on about this blue box being alive... and... and calling it a she. Well it... she is certainly acting like one right now yeah. She's not listening. Typical female." Mickey muttered still not complete sure what Rose meant.
Rose gazed down at the TARDIS console considering the bizarre controls. "But that's the thing, she is telepathic. I need to get inside. The last time I saw you in Cardiff with the whole Blon Fel Fotch Slitheen…" Rose taped the metal door on the side of the console. "This opened." Rose remembered the blinding light had shone even through her closed eyelids. The Doctor had been adamant when he'd shouted at her and Jack not to look at it, and Rose had been very tempted, but she'd followed the Doctor's orders. She'd been extremely glad afterward since the bright light had reduced the big green alien back into an egg.
"It holds a powerful warm light, that the Doctor called the heart of the TARDIS. I know that if we can get it open, I could connect with her. Hopefully reason with her to take me back." Rose concluded without mentioning Margaret the Slitheen's fate or that the Doctor had also said he hadn't known what looking directly into the TARDIS' heart would do to anyone else.
Mickey gave his ex-girlfriend a worried glance. "Rose are you sure that's a good idea?"
"Mm? What do you mean?" Rose asked distractedly. She clenched her hand tightly around the locket involuntarily.
"If this doesn't do something bad ta ya. You'll be goin' back just to die with them." said Mickey morosely.
Rose gave Mickey a sad smile but spoke with utter conviction. "You're not truly living if you don't take risks. The Doctor needs me. Besides, there really isn't anything for me here."
Mickey's face clouded over with stunned hurt. "Your mum and me are nothing?" The young black man asked indignantly.
Rose inwardly sighed as she hurried to explain. "Mickey you and mum don't need me not like the Doctor. You'll miss me sure but both of you have lives of your own, yeah." She looked away not wanting to see the pain she ultimately caused and most likely would continue to do so, but in the grand scheme of things it was better to be honest.
Mickey didn't speak for a few moments. The dark eyed man didn't totally get the Doctor's appeal but he'd always been in love with Rose Tyler and wanted her to be happy. Mickey knew immediately he would regret his decision to help. "Well ifna that's what you really want… let's bust this hatchet open." 'I'll be prayin' that you make it back again.'
The TARDIS sat silent throughout the two human's conversation. Their time seemed to slow as the timelines slimmed down until only one path lay before them. The TARDIS desired to help the humans but she still had the Doctor's last program running through her systems. She eagerly awaited the moment that the pink and yellow human opened up her heart… their heart. Surprises were in store not only for the Doctor but many more.
The giant slim structure of the Space Station rotated slowly, the space around it filled with the saucer shaped ships of the Dalek fleet.
Lynda bit at her thumb nail, as she focused on the monitor, the blinking red lights that indicated the encroaching Dalek army.
"Jack, their on board." Her voice quavered. "Their headed up like you said."
Troop upon troop of Dalek's entered and glided quickly down the deserted corridors at least until they came upon the very small band of volunteers. The pepper pots advanced swiftly on the pitiful group.
"Now initiate the laser field." Jack's voice rang out of the comm device strong but urgent. "This should slow them down."
The pink and blue haired assistant from 'Ballroom X' quickly tapped a sequence on a keypad before activating the next stage by clapping her hand on the scanner pad.
In Lynda's lone vigil from the observation deck, she could hear the systems being engaged as it reverberated throughout the spacious room. All too soon her monitor made a bleating noise of those same defensive systems being powered down.
Lynda's voice shook with nervous fright. "They've overridden the internal and external defenses. Everything's been unlocked."
Without the defenses in place, the volunteers timorously held guns from their concealed positions behind the Stations structured outcroppings. The Daleks came towards them single file since the corridors were too narrow to allow more. One frightened individual fired instigating the other three to automatically start shooting as well.
To the group's terrified horror, the munitions stopped meters away from the pepper pots armored casings. The projectiles vaporized instantly at the Daleks protective barrier.
"Captain! What do we do? The bastic bullets aren't working!" The assistant manager shouted, frantically hysterical into her comm unit. She continued firing at the oncoming danger.
The lead Dalek finally returned fire on the volunteers. It's beam caught the dual-color haired woman square in the chest, followed by her fellow defenders.
Their cries of pain echoed up and down the hall, and through the comm unit that still worked. The four figures bodies lite up like a x-ray before slumping to the floor motionless.
In the alleyway where the TARDIS remained parked, a yellow Volkswagen bug sat engine running, with the boot towards the open doors while Mickey Smith finished attaching a thick, strong chain to the bumper.
The idea was completely daft, Mickey shook his head as he gave the chain a final tug before heading to the driver's side door. The young black man climbed into the small vehicle even through his misgivings about the whole business a look of determination sets over his features, as he released the handbrake and put his Beetle into gear.
Rose had watched silently as her ex set up the chain to his car so as to yank the console compartment door open. She rushed back when Mickey started his vehicle pulling on the chain. Unconsciously, she worried the locket she still held, the warmth it radiated soothed Rose's anxiety.
Mickey growled jamming his foot down on the accelerator to gain an advantage over the console door. A few minutes later smoke billowed out from under the car, without moving a centimeter. Mickey leaned forward in a vain attempt to get more leverage.
"Come on, you stupid thing! Give already!" Mickey cried out in frustrated fury. The wheels of the Volkswagen spun futilely, gaining no traction on the hard black pavement.
Rose's spirit strained the longer it went on. "Mickey, it's not budging!"
Mickey snarled not giving up as if sheer force of will could make the panel open. He pressed both feet down on the pedal, giving the motor all the petrol he could. The chain tensed under the pressure, neither side gave a degree of ground.
Rose covered her mouth, with moist hands, her bottom lip clamped firmly between sharp teeth, with a heighten sense of anticipation. Rose could see the chain rigid under the stress of two opposing obstacles, without any warning the steel snapped in two.
Rose gasped out in pain and vexation, the chain hadn't worked and she'd bitten her lip so hard that the blonde woman could taste the blood. In her infuriated disappointment Rose kicked the console panel before collapsing over the TARDIS controls, to scream and pummel it until she subsided into sobs. She needed to go back to the Doctor but it was as if the universe were testing her.
Jack's calm voice broke over the comm unit. "You all right Lynda?"
"Yeah, sorry. The first troops of Daleks are now on floor four hundred ninety-five." Lynda stood resolutely in front of the observation deck monitor. Her insides quivered with fear, the pigtailed blonde's mind struggled to forget the echoing cries of agony from the first casualties of battle.
The Doctor's steading northern accent followed. "Jack, how's the next step?"
One floor below the Doctor, Captain Jack Harkness looked over to where Pavel stationed himself. The programmer gave the 51st century a nod indicating that phase two was ready.
Jack spoke into his wrist unit to reply. "All set to go. Four hundred ninety-five gotta love that number."
The Daleks crowded onto the main corridor, which held more than the other narrow passageways. A proximity alarm blared out alerting the advancing army of armed aggressors. The lead Dalek cried out commandingly. "Identify yourself! Identify!"
Two droids smoothly drifted down, towards the confused pepper potts. The male designed robot intoned, "It is time to say farewell. You have been eliminated." The female, the Anne Droid from the 'Weakest Link', cried out her signature parting line. Both fired destroying the first three Daleks instantly.
It didn't take long before other Daleks came replacing those which were disintegrated. The new lead Dalek quickly fires before the droids could speak. It's first targeted the Anne Droid's head blew clear off her man made shoulders. The power draining from the Anne Droid caused to lurch forward blocking the Dalek's next attack on the Len-bot. The second shot from the Dalek tossed the female droid back then onto her side.
The Len-bot shot the fourth Dalek disintegrating it before the new foe take it out.
"We advance on to!"
The Dalek's words were cut off as two more droids swept down the corridor firing their lasers. The Daleks turned their eyestalks on newest obstacle; they had to take extra time crushing the additional attackers as more Droids revealed themselves.
Jack's group waited, hoping that the distraction would last. Precious minutes were gained but inevitably the Daleks defeated the second wave of resistance.
With all the Droids destroyed, the Dalek's glided onto their next target. "Proceed to the next level!"
"Everyone, they're on the move again, they're using the main ventilation shafts! They're flying up!" Lynda announced, her blue eyes tracked the red blips that represented their adversaries. Suddenly those red indicator lights broke apart, some were heading up, but the rest dropped down rapidly. "They weren't supposed to do that! Jack… They're heading for the bottom floor. Oh… no… no… no!"
The Daleks swiftly glided towards their objective to exterminate all humans on board the satellite.
The abandoned contestants huddle close together. They had been that way since the violent tremor had rattled the large structure. None wanted to believe the blue eyed man when he'd spouted outrageous nonsense that Earth was about to be taken over by a race of beings told about in children's stories to make them obey. The Daleks were the monster in the closet, the boogeyman under the bed, the Freddy Krueger of nightmares.
Rick had been the most vocal about his skepticism. In his mind the small group was a bunch of terrorists. He figured that it was all a ruse to gain political control of Earth. The dancer had no doubts, but his surety on the matter fled as golden armored pepper potts emerged from the doorway.
"Exterminate! Exterminate!"
Dozens of the metal covered beings shouted. They struck with cold accuracy. The remaining humans desperately tried escaping some deliberately hid behind others and others attempted to hide behind storage containers. The air filled with a cacophony of cries from both sides.
Rick's mind still didn't want to comprehend stuck in a state of denial. "You're not real! You can exist!"
"This is not right! I've already escaped death once! No, I have a second chance!" Rick's declarations were easily ignored by the emotionless Dalek that raised it's weapon and fired. The dancer's body collapsed amongst the pawns, they in the end saw who their real lords and masters were.
The screams and cries from floor zero, unnerved Lynda so much that with a trembling hand she switched off the communication. The sounds had been far worse than those who'd been defending the four hundred ninety-fourth floor, at least they could fight back. She flicked the comm unit on again once she'd managed to regain semblance of composure. Tears continued to stream down as Lynda gave the remaining people on board a mournful report in a croaky voice. "Floor zero is gone. They're all dead. Doctor, whatever you have to do to get rid of 'em you better make it soon."
Jackie walked into the TARDIS, the size still astonished her, it being merely the second time she'd been inside. She couldn't fathom the how and where fores that made the time machine inside so large but Jackie supposed that's what made it so alien. The blonde woman walked over to her daughter. The girl's head hung low and Jackie could see that she'd been through an emotional roller coaster. It raised the older woman's suspicions again about the Doctor's motives for sending Rose home.
"Please, sweetheart, just give up. It's not gonna work. The Doctor wanted you here safe with us. He knew this is where you needed to be." Jackie said gently, she ran a comforting hand up and down Rose's arm to ease the sting of her words. Jackie wanted her daughter to accept the fact that there would be no more crazy alien adventures.
Rose lifted her gaze to her mother's pleading face. She understood that her mum had been scared for her the minute she'd found out that her only child had gone off with an older man… a nine hundred year old alien man of all things, with a predilection for danger and didn't do domestics. "Really, you Jackie Tyler, raised a quitter? You want me to just give in?"
"Yes, this isn't your fight. Sweetheart you need to leave this behind. Just walk away and lock this box up like he said." Jackie didn't like the defeat on her daughter's face, but sometimes that's what life dealt you.
"Dad wouldn't have said that. He wouldn't have me just give up." Rose didn't know why she brought up her dad, Pete Tyler, she'd spent only one day with him. The blonde hadn't even told her mum about it.
Jackie sighed shaking her head. Obviously, the stories that she'd told Rose about her dad had the poor girl had given her the impression that she knew the dead man. "He went and died on us. So we won't know what he'd have said will we?"
Mother and daughter stared at each other with warring emotions. The silence seemed to deepen the longer neither spoke. Jackie broke the silent stalemate, "And ifin' he had been here for: one we wouldn't be havin' this conversation and two he'd be tellin' you the same thing."
"I don't believe you mum. You can't know that, and I know Dad wouldn't want me to give up." Rose huffed, annoyed that her Mum, suggested that Pete Tyler, her dad, would've told her to quit.
Jackie looked away to hide the pain and sorrow her daughter's words caused.
Unaware of her mother's distress, Rose pressed on. "He wouldn't just be telling me, he'd be helping me to think of a way to get back. He'd encourage me to try everything I could to save not only the Doctor but anyone who's life was in danger."
"You don't know. You have no idea that your Dad would've done or said anything of the kind. "Jackie erupted preferring to be angry rather than deal with unbearable sadness. "'Cos he's not here."
"That doesn't matter. I met him in the past." Rose shouted back.
"No, you couldn't have, stop talkin' rubbish."
Rose bolted up right on the jump seat. "I did though. The Doctor… he took me to when you got married… and then to the day Dad died."
"Will you stop!" Jackie tried to think back, knowing she would've remembered her blonde haired daughter and the big eared alien git.
"No Mum. We were there. You remember there was someone by his side." Rose's voice broke with the weight of emotions she held inside. "A young woman and she knelt beside him holding his hand."
Jackie couldn't reply her mind kept spinning with images of that horrible day. There'd been a girl but it couldn't have been her daughter.
Once again tears were running down Rose's cheeks. She felt a headache forming from all the crying but ignored it, she had to make her mother understand. "Come on Mum you saw! Maybe it was from a distance but you did see! A blonde girl! That girl was me. You saw…"
"Stop. Just stop it." Jackie cut off the rest of Rose's words. She didn't want to listen to anymore; her late husband death was touchy subject. She couldn't believe that Rose would use that for her argument even if she did remember a girl.
Rose couldn't stop, she had to make her mother see, that the past, present and future were all possible with the Doctor. "That's the point Mum; the Doctor can make those things happen."
"Stop talking nonsense!" Jackie frustrated and out of sorts shouted back at her daughter, the older woman's feelings were in such turmoil she needed to get away. Without another word she turned a fled from not only her daughter, the time-space machine but also her painful past.
Rose collapsed sobbing onto the grating, leaning into the TARDIS's console; she drew her legs up holding them tightly as she began to rock. She alienated her mum and ex-boyfriend, with no way to return to the Doctor and there wasn't even the comforting hum of the TARDIS as if the ship also were against her. Now, Rose knew she was completely alone.

January 10, 2012
One year ago today...
I received amazing news. It's not the only time I've received wonderful and life changing news. Other times:
18 years ago, the doctor said, "It's a boy!"
16 years ago, "It's another boy!"
14 years ago, "It's a girl!"
11 years ago, "It's another girl!"
9 years ago, "It's a dog!"
7 years ago... well, that must have been a slow year in the world
of amazing news, but you get the gist.
Still, January 10th, 2011 will forever be a day I will remember and celebrate. A day that will give me lots of opportunities to say to my kids, "See, amazing things happen... and they can happen to you!"
This past year has been filled with many wonderful experiences. Of course, one of the most special was the ALA conference in New Orleans where I received the Newbery Award. My family came out in full force, i.e. my husband and four kids, my sister, her husband and their four kids, and my mom and dad. I joked that we were like the Clampitt's riding into New Orleans. No, we did not strap Grandma to the top of the 15 passenger van, but we certainly felt like we had struck it rich and really enjoyed the cement pond at the hotel.
I've met many wonderful people, spoken at lots of schools and conferences, gotten some great fan mail. One of my favorites was from a 4th grader who told me he was glad that Kansas was now known for something other than basketball and weather! That's big noise, especially since Kansas is pretty much the birthplace of basketball.
So 2011 was a wonderful year but not only because of a special award. Other big events: Lucy got her braces off. Paul got his braces on. Luke crammed 80 high school kids in our garage for a dance and everyone survived. Grace's singing has not broken any windows... yet. (Lucy made me put that.)
And I finished my next book! It is called Navigating Early and will come out next spring. More on that soon.
So, life goes on and life is good.
April 2011
Okay. I've procrastinated long enough. Actually, I wouldn't call it procrastination. I just haven't wrapped my brain around the fact that people I'm not related to are actually reading my website.
I had a fun time creating this website last summer in preparation for the book coming out and part of that was because I approached it as if I was just talking to my sister, my kids, or my friend across the street.
Then January 10th rolled around and the Newbery seal went on my book, and all of the sudden people were e-mailing me, telling me something they had read on my website. I think that's when I froze up a bit and I gave myself the excuse of not updating it because I had to write my Newbery acceptance speech. Or I needed to prepare for upcoming speaking engagements. And those were valid excuses. But then, they became a little less valid – like I need to fold some laundry. Or I need to let the dogs out. Or I really need to change out that roll of toilet paper.
That's when I realized I had a bit of writer's block regarding my website. So I decided to go to go back to what worked the first time. I'm just going to write as if I'm talking to my sister, my kids, or my neighbor across the street - and just tell you what's been going on in my world lately.
In a nutshell, life has been wonderful, crazy, and very busy. I've had many invitations to speak at schools, conferences, book festivals. What a thrill to get to talk to so many people who are very excited about my book!
In fact, I would have to say that one of the most unexpected and most wonderful results of winning the Newbery has been the way my local community in Wichita and people across Kansas have embraced the book and celebrated this wonderful honor with me. It's like there's this big Newbery train and everyone feels free to jump on. And I love that!
I also love the fact that I've had some great help. While I was in New York immediately following the Newbery announcement, my sister and our good friend CY (C.Y. not sigh) came up with a To-Do list to help me in those busy days. Things like #4 – Make new business cards. #7 - Start a scrapbook. And my favorite one, #13 – get pre-loaded credit cards for CY and Annmarie.
We set up weekly meetings to help keep me organized. They consist of Annmarie and CY showing up at my house asking, "Is the coffee on?" Or "Can I fix myself an egg?" Then Annmarie's kids eat their breakfast at the counter and CY's son tells us how the Wichita State Shockers are doing. As soon as everyone's fed, the kids go off to play or watch a show and I clean up the kitchen. Then we start to discuss something, like updating my website, and then Annmarie's littlest one has to go to the bathroom. Then we start to talk about up upcoming event just in time for CY's phone to ring. Then I start to pull out my calendar to go over a few odds and ends as CY packs up to take Jake to school and Annmarie gathers up her kids. Then I go in the family room to pick up the monopoly game that has been "played with" and is now on the floor.
I get a lot done at those meetings.
But my daughter Grace did start a wonderful scrapbook full of Moon Over Manifest pictures and memorabilia, Annmarie did design some great new business cards, along with some for herself and CY giving them each the job title of "Assistant to the Assistant." They are still waiting for their fully loaded credit cards but I do make sure they get coffee and an egg once a week.
We're all chipping in and we're all having a great time.
Hopefully, I'll get another update in before long. I need to go change a roll of toilet paper.

Recommended "Puzzle" caches for our visit ing friends during GWVI
Recommended "Puzzle" caches for our visiting friends during GWVI
I had been asked by the "committee" to assemble a bookmark of puzzle caches that are recommended by the local caching community. Here is a link to what I have so far.
GWVI – Recommended Puzzle Caches
(In case the link does not work)
Now I need your input but there are a few things to keep in mind:
- This list is for true "Puzzle" caches only where the seeker must solve a puzzle BEFORE heading into the field.
- They can be put on the list for being creative, fun, interesting, brain busters or just plain unique.
- I am trying to diversify the list with easy and hard caches and everything in between.
- Sorry, no RetiredProf puzzles. I have been informed that there will be a separate and special list just for those. (And Roger does deserve his own list, great puzzles!!)
- Located in and around the GWVI area. ( Sacramento , Davis , Grass Valley and on up to Chico . Maybe on the route to the bay area too)
- Must be active and maintained caches.
To help me you can reply to this posting, but that may clog the mail lists. My preferred method would be to send me your recommendations directly to my email at SNSpencer@.... Any kind of list will do, GPX , Excel, text, just as long as you reference the GC number for your recommendations.
When this bookmark is completed, I will submit it back to the "committee" for them to do whatever they wish with the bookmark link. Posting in the GWVI website forums along with other lists would be my guess.

Over 200 School of Journalism students comprise Michigan's largest 2012 election team covering national, state, county, school, city and township elections for this year's first-time voters. Their initiative is called "MI First Election." Our college is a member of "Democracy in Action," a nationwide collaboration of university journalists covering the 2012 election.
We anticipate that many CAS students will enter the realm of politics and government in their future professions, whether it be reporting on government and politics, creating political ads or documentaries, working in public relations for politicians or analyzing the power of political ads—just to name a few. This presidential election marks the first time that many college students are able to vote for president, and they're taking the issues at hand very seriously.
It is a fascinating challenge to follow the viewpoints of such a diverse campus, and what a remarkable project for the students to tackle. They're reporting through a variety of multi-media platforms—posting, blogging and streaming video and audio on Twitter, Facebook, Storify, Ustream and YouTube. The Capital News Service team, classes for public affairs reporting, advertising and public relations in presidential campaigns and broadcasting are all involved with the program.
The team provides resources for first-time voters, such as Michigan voting guides (how and where to register and vote) and AP election guides, and explanations for "insider" terms and phrases used by political strategists and news analysts during election season.
Student Kellie Rowe reports that, "According to the U.S. Census Bureau, individuals between ages 18 and 24 showed a significant increase in voter turnout in the 2008 national election, and were the only age group to do so."
These students are demonstrating the potential power of young people when they become informed, engaged and vote. They discuss everything from political ads and reactions of students during the presidential and vice presidential debates, to the rise in student voters and the six state ballot proposals.
Our students will be on the air on WKAR Public TV and Radio on election night, Nov. 6. Follow their conversation on Twitter by searching #MiFirstElection. View the student developed website here. Like them on Facebook and watch their UStream channel here.
Keep up the great work! We're so proud to have the largest election team in the state and we look forward to following the coverage throughout election season!Share via these networks:

This trigger a confrontation between them, but Ichika halted them and scold them both. Both of them realize their mistakes and apologize, afterwards, Madoka actually let Ichika train with Cecilia privately where Houki tutored her advanced kendo techniques.
(In Canon, this is simply impossible to happens, and Ichika is too weak-willed and lazy to interfere the quarrel)
One chapter before that, Houki actually taught Cecilia basic of Kendo to improve her nonexistent CQC, talk about Chekhov's training...

@ Senpai - Rosario+Vampire is a good example of this. The girls all love the same guy and are fully trying to get him to love the. Does this mean they're going to play dirty or hurt each other to do it? Hell no! They even drop chances if it means helping each other out of problems.
Side note - And now Kuu finds the little albino "interesting" How do mad scientists try to woo people anyway?

For the girls to woo him after that is hopeless and pure angst material, and boy does it deliver! The snow girl for example will go sterile in young age, which means if she can't get a spouse in 20's, she's left without a child.
The same can be played to other member of harem in R+V. My plan of Sacred Twins is that they're become TRUE Nakama after learning that Ichika and Madoka are anything but stated.

@ Senpai - Then just have Ichika show hints later on (intentional or not) that the person he wants to be with is Madoka. This should make the girls more accepting rather than him saying "Nope, I only like my sis sorry" and being blunt as hell about it. Of course, how you handle their acceptance is what makes it interesting.
Problem is, Canon!Ichika shows signs of being asexual and I think his preffered type is the cool big sis/tall dark and Bishoujo which none of the harem (Except possibly Tatenashi and Houki) have. Notice he shows signs of attraction to those two more than the others.
Side note - I meant Kuu, not Ange. Ange has a Daddy complex so she won't be falling for anyone. Also, I'm mostly wondering how to handle Kuu's interactions (Stalker with a crush/yandere/tries to perform experiments on him etc etc) She was raised by Tabane of all people, she can't be that normal!

@ Senpai - Of course, we must have a comical breakdown for Chifuyu once she figures out what happens. No one, and I mean no one, can stay sane once they find their little siblings fully admitting to be in a romantic relationship.
Really? He shows signs of being gay as well. Notice his actions towards Charles in the anime. I know he was happy about seeing another male (Most guys would really), but holding his hands, insisting to change in the same room, and blushing when he was convinced she was still a dude? His narration of Charles looks in the novel don't help things.
Side note - Then I guess she has no possibility with Irish then, his type is the opposite.
For Shadow:
Ichika - Tall dark and bishoujo or Yamato Nadeshiko girls. (Stemming from his constant beatings that he actually wants a sweet girl)
Kyuukai - Nekomimi or Multi-eye color girls. (Dunno the reason, maybe he just likes them because he has hentai on them?)
Irish - Cool big sis or serious girls. (This is mostly from his experience of growing up without a proper role model. Most of the time, he's chaste)

@ Senpai - Hypocrisy can be used for humor, you know. Besides, she might be more worried about how the world will handle a child from IhiGAR and GARdoka. I'm sure the women of the world won't be safe at all!
Chifuyu: I should make their kid wear a chastity belt...
Ichika's straight in Shadow, but the constant ho-yay with Irish (Mostly cause he's paranoid after Charles) does make people think about it.
Side note - Karon's a cool big sis, right? He doesn't care about physical appearance (Flat chest jokes on Karon aside) and this is why he gets attached to Yamada pretty quick later on. Also why he doesn't get along with Tatenashi and Karon at first (Both are mischievous).

@ Meistah - Why would Karon get so pissed at him anyway? He's obviously complimenting her and mentions it's a good thing.
@ Senpai - Maybe they can be teachers? They seem like they're good enough for it.
The paranoia only increases cause he never sees Irish with his pants down. Always some way that prevents him from seeing.
Of course, when hormones set in (lack of skull suit time) he's gonna be a wreck whenever he hangs out with any female. Trying not to think anything when you're experiencing puberty is a bitch.
Side note - Why does everyone find the SAW parody creepy? Both of them are obviously joking and the lack of gore is obvious.

Yeah, they'll end up as teacher, even more well known that their sister is.
Somewhat ironic that the ET-X that obliterated the Aomori defense force in the spinoff will appear again as a girl, and looks like using a high-tech I.S. than monstrous abomination that B.E.T.A. is.
She learned human emotion from that battle (especially the despair and hopelessness of human in a battle against BETA), hence the reason she evolve into more compact, efficient form, and lose the will to kill random lifeforms (including humans). She then infiltrated the new base (Odaiba) and fell for Dan, talk about foeyay...

(Both almost died and failed their mission, but was found near the border of Tokyo. Oh, Chifuyu and Ran died, the first in that mission too)
The FoeYay in Sacred twin is mild (the one PT member fell for him is sympathetic, punch-clock villain).
She work for PT because her COUNTRY (yes, not corporation but COUNTRY) works for PT, she had not much choice but to comply.
She also a reverse mole for the heroes later in the story.

On phone right now.
@ Eratas: Kyuukai likes those kind of girls because he likes loyalty and faithfulness in a girl. His paranoia (thinking somebody's going to kill him every once in a while), and since a pet is always loyal and faithful to it's master... yeah, blend the two together, and you have Kyuukai Tokiwa's main fetish...
His biggest desire regarding these kind of matters would be to find a scantilly clad catgirl on his bed and ask him with a smile, "Is there anything you'd like, master?"
He also likes unique girls, girls with certain quirks that seperate them from others. Be it personality-wise, appearance-wise, etc. i.e Heterochromia, abnormally large/small breasts, etc.
He just likes the fact that the girl may truly be one of a kind. But then again, most girls are. But before him, these girls are the ones in his life, his bubble of coexistence.
Though he wouldn't mind getting to know any girl outside said bubble.

The idea for Dan's story came from your work, which I adapted to fit my fanon. Do you mind if I use it?
In my fanon, where she's a short girl with huge boobs (D in [Vandam], going to E when she enrols in ISA), she wears clothes that make them seem smaller. This takes inspiration from Taketetsu Ayana, her voice actor, who plays up her loli charm while hiding her E-rank assets.

@ Senpai - That doesn't seem very grim dark, it seems more like star wars honestly. It would be grim dark if both of them died.
@ Rain - Wait, Kyuukai's a dom!O.o Anyway, his list of girls is broad! What the hell man.
Side note - I posted the SAW parody in the previous page, cam you please read it?
@ Meistah - Can you think of a trap for Maximillian? Non-lethal and possibly ironic mind you.

@ Eratas: Every man has his secrets. And maybe a case of closet pervert.
The SAW scene is good! Though it raises a question on why Kuu would be so "enthusiastic" to subject her brother to such things...
You (if there's ever a need) could have Tabane's family and the Stark family be friends. Ryuu's paramilitary organization could have bought Stark arms. Kyuukai could know Ange, after coming to stay with them on his diplomacy trip. No romance or the like between the two, but they could be friends, or at the least, aquaintances.
Would make her more sympathetic to the protags who are under crude and unusual torture.

TV mart Mipcom ends on a high
Not even the return of cloudy skies and talk of thunderstorms could dampen spirits at Mipcom.
Not even the return of cloudy skies and talk of thunderstorms could dampen spirits at Mipcom.
Sony Pictures Entertainment's 21% stake in London-based shingle Shine is up for grabs.
The 25th Mipcom TV market begins to wind down after three days of brisk activity.
The global production volume of traded TV formats has grown dramatically in the past five years.
ABC comedy "Cougar Town," starring Courteney Cox, has been acquired in various territories across Europe, Africa and the Middle East.
Jan Mojto's Beta Film and German film and TV production group ndF have launched a production and distribution joint venture specializing in live-action and animated family fare.
The creators of "The Simpsons" have ruled out making a second Simpsons movie -- at least not until the TV series finally wraps.
Jerry Seinfeld, whose eponymous NBC sitcom was hailed as the greatest TV show of all time, has admitted he no longer watches small screen comedy.
French paybox Canal Plus has acquired several high-profile series at Mipcom, including "The Prisoner" and "The Pacific."
Let the bloodletting begin. Canal Plus and German production company EOS have greenlit production of 12-hour mini "The Borgias," exec produced by Chris Albrecht and Anne Thomopoulos.
Smiles, smiles, everyone: Sony Pictures TV and Mark Burnett are partnering to turn "Fantasy Island" into a reality series.

Alexander's sitcom lacks character
By Robert Bianco, USA TODAY
ABC, tonight, 9 ET/PT
(out of four)
When Bob Patterson fails, it will be hard to know
where to put most of the blame: on the star or the show. The truth is, it may
simply be impossible to build a successful sitcom around Jason Alexander, a
man with real but limited talents, who has based his thriving supporting-actor
career around an ability to be instantly unlikable. The act worked for him in
Seinfeld (though not for as long as the series ran), but visceral rejection
is a hard quality to sell at the center of a show.
What's worse, as annoying as Bob may be, he's the only
fully drawn character in the show. It's impossible to imagine the supporting
characters carrying a scene on their own, let alone a story which pretty
much leaves you with more Alexander than you're likely to want. Yet somehow,
Alexander doesn't seem to realize he's now the star and he has more than enough
screen time; he doesn't have to increase it by stretching out each punch line
and reaction.
A self-help guru, Bob Patterson (Alexander) is supposed
to be America's No. 3 motivational speaker which would be a insult to
popular taste were you to take the idea seriously. His life is one crisis after
another, many of them caused by his oily partner Landau (Robert Klein, who is
trying too hard to steal scenes that aren't worth possessing).
Though he's the author of the book I Know More Than
You, Patterson knows very little about life. That may explain why his wife,
Janet (Jennifer Aspen), left him; nothing explains why she came back.
Tonight's premiere, in which Bob hires a disabled assistant
(Chandra Wilson, the only person in the show you can imagine wanting to see
again), is merely terrible. An upcoming episode, however, featuring guest stars
John Tesh and Bo Derek, rises to the unwatchable. I dare you to sit through
Bob proclaiming "I should be scoring a perfect 10 around 11" without cringing.
If that's not motivation to watch something else, I don't
know what is.
