Dublin, capital of the Republic of Ireland, is on Ireland's east coast at the mouth of the River Liffey. Its historic buildings include Dublin Castle, dating to the 13th century, and imposing St Patrick's Cathedral, founded in 1191. City parks include landscaped St Stephen's Green and huge Phoenix Park, containing Dublin Zoo. The National Museum of Ireland explores Irish heritage and culture.`
Waterford, a seaport in southeast Ireland, is the country's oldest city. It was founded by Vikings in 914 A.D. and parts of its ancient walled core remain. Within Reginald's Tower, a circa-1003 fortification, the Waterford Museum of Treasures displays local archaeological finds. Famed glass manufacturer Waterford Crystal began here in 1783. Today the company's facility near the historic district offers factory tours.
Killarney is a town on the shores of Lough Leane in southwest Ireland's County Kerry. It's a stop on the Ring of Kerry scenic drive, and the start and finishing point of the 200-km Kerry Way walking trail. The town's 19th-century buildings include St. Mary's Cathedral. Across the bridge from the cathedral is Killarney National Park. Victorian mansion Muckross House, Gardens & Traditional Farms sits in the park.
Derry, also known as Londonderry, is a city on the River Foyle in Northern Ireland. It's known for the intact 17th-century Derry's Walls with 7 gates. Within the walls, spired St. Columb's Cathedral displays artefacts from the 1688–9 Siege of Derry. Near the Peace Bridge, the Tower Museum has city views and historical exhibits. Huge stained-glass windows adorn the neo-Gothic red sandstone Guildhall.
The old walled city lies on the west bank of the River Foyle, which is spanned by two road bridges and one footbridge. The city now covers both banks (Cityside on the west and Waterside on the east). The population of the city was 83,652 at the 2001 Census, while the Derry Urban Area had a population of 90,736.

At the westernmost edge of Ireland, the rugged Cliffs of Moher tower almost 702 feet above sea level. Considered by many to be the absolute best place to visit in Ireland, this jagged coastline stretches for five miles along the ocean. There are surely few places in Ireland more dramatic than the striated limestone cliffs, which are constantly being lashed by the Atlantic waves and winds.
When not shrouded by thick, gray fog and sheets of rain, it's possible to see as far west as the Aran Islands (the view from the top is one of the most iconic in the world). For many, Ireland's unmanicured western coast is something of a dream trip — and the Cliffs of Moher are often a highlight.
Ireland's largest church and the final resting place of Jonathan Swift, St Patrick's stands on the spot where St Patrick himself reputedly baptised the local Celtic chieftains in the 5th century. Fiction or not, it's a sacred bit of turf upon which this cathedral was built between 1191 and 1270. The adjacent park was once an awful slum but is now a lovely garden to sit and catch some sunshine.
There are also several smaller points of interest scattered throughout the cathedral, including by hundreds of memorial plaques, busts, and monuments. The most impressive belongs to the Boyle Family Tomb from the 17th century. Smaller mementos are dedicated to Turlough O'Carolan (the famous blind harpist) and Douglas Hyde (the first President of Ireland).
In 2015, the Guinness Storehouse had over 1.5 million visitors, confirming its place as Ireland's most popular tourist attraction. Located at the James' Gate Brewery in Dublin – or 'the home of the black stuff,' as it is also known – the Guinness-themed museum gives visitors a unique chance to assimilate the 250-year history of the country's most famous beverage, culminating in a perfectly poured pint at the rooftop Gravity Bar overlooking the city.
The Guinness Storehouse tourist attraction was established in 2000, but the building which houses it dates back to 1904. Located inside a former 'hop house' or fermentation plant for the stout – where the precious Guinness yeast was added to the recipe – it is a steel-framed construction modelled on the Chicago School of Architecture that was popular during the early 20th century. The idea for the new visitor centre was conceived in 1997, around the time that Guinness merged with the Grand Metropolitan company to become Diageo.
The word 'Blarney' was introduced into the English language by Queen Elizabeth I and is described as 'pleasant talk, intended to deceive without offending'. The stone is set in the wall below the battlements and, to kiss it, one has to lean backwards - grasping an iron railing - from the parapet walk.
In the grounds of the castle the Rock Close and its surroundings is a fascinating place of ancient trees and far more ancient stones which is believed to be a garden of druidic origin and a centre of worship in pre-Christian days. The place has an aura of magic and mystique with Wishing Steps, Witch's Kitchen, Druid's Cave and many other delights telling a story of centuries past.
Blarney Castle, set in acres of parkland filled with rare and unusual trees and plants, offers visitors the chance to stroll in one of the country's most spectacular gardens.

Dublin Castle was the stronghold of British power in Ireland for more than 700 years, beginning with the Anglo-Norman fortress commissioned by King John in 1204. Only the Record Tower (1258) survives from the original; most of what you see was built from the 18th century onwards – but its best bits are still impressive.
The castle was officially handed over to Michael Collins, representing the Irish Free State, in 1922, when the British viceroy is reported to have rebuked Collins on being seven minutes late. Collins replied, 'We've been waiting 700 years, you can have the seven minutes.
Temple Bar is Dublin's leading tourist area. It has earned the fair title of Dublin's "cultural quarter", and with its old cobblestones, buskers lining the streets, bars serving Guinness left, right and centre, it seems only fitting that a trip to Dublin includes a tour of this area.
Set alongside the River Liffey in the heart of Dublin, Temple Bar is as easy to access as you can get. In fact, it's the heart of the city, sitting alongside the Ha'penny Bridge that links the Northside to the Southside of Dublin.
As one of the oldest areas in Dublin, it's packed with character and charm and offers nightlife in abundance with a steady string of traditional pubs, bars, eateries, venues, cafes and coffee shops lining the streets.
Founded in 1783 by brothers William and George Penrose, with a vision to "create the finest quality crystal for drinking vessels and objects of beauty for the home", Waterford still produces crystal which is sought after by collectors and connoisseurs around the world.
Waterford Crystal is a manufacturer of crystal, named after the city of Waterford, Ireland. The brand is owned by WWRD Group Holdings Ltd., a luxury goods group which also owns and operates the Wedgwood and Royal Doulton brands, and which was acquired on 2 July 2015 by the Fiskars Corporation.
Vikings made their mark in Ireland, no doubt about that. Bearing down on an unsuspecting Ireland from Scandinavia, hordes of wild wayfarers first arrived in the 8th century. They looted Ireland's monasteries, battled its kings and made off not just with priceless treasures and religious artefacts, but with Irish people as slaves.
The tower is a 13th-century defence fortification, perched like a pepper pot at the heart of Waterford's own Viking Triangle, a portion of the city centre that also includes the new Waterford Crystal Visitor Centre. Amongst its treasures is the earliest known avatar of a Waterfordian – carved onto a 9th-century lead weight discovered in a Viking site by the River Suir.
On a tiny spit of land known as the Hook Peninsula in County Wexford, Ireland, is Loftus Hall, formerly known as Redmond Hall. Loftus Hall is widely known as the most haunted house in Ireland and has been featured on both the Irish TV show Ghost Hunters and the American TV show Ghost Adventures, as well as being the subject of the documentary film The Legend of Loftus Hall. Loftus Hall was also the shooting location for the upcoming film, The Lodgers starring David Bradley and Eugene Simon of Game of Thrones fame. Though it seems awfully ambitious for a house with only one ghost story to its name to call itself the most haunted house in Ireland, Loftus Hall's ghost story involves the devil himself.
The Ring of Kerry is the ring road that follows the coastal contours of Kerry's Iveragh Peninsula. The Ring of Kerry is one of Ireland's most famous circuits and a popular holiday route to drive. Much more than a simple driving route, the Ring of Kerry is an iconic destination wrapped in a stunning visual history, with diverse wildlife scattered across Ireland's lush green hills.
The Ring of Kerry drive is located on the Iveragh Peninsula County Kerry, in the southwest of Ireland. Part of the Wild Atlantic Way, the Iveragh Peninsula is the crown jewel of southwest Ireland. Kerry has three peninsulas, which are the Dingle Peninsula, the Iveragh Peninsula, and the Beara Peninsula from north to south.
The Gap of Dunloe, Co Kerry, Ireland: in which we have an adventure, involving an early awakening, horses, mountains, rain, a boat ride, extreme rain, and great travel companions. The Gap of Dunloe, also recorded as Bearna an Choimín, is a narrow mountain pass running north-south in County Kerry, Ireland, that separates the MacGillycuddy's Reeks mountain range in the west, from the Purple Mountain Group range in the east.
Ross Castle sits on the edge of Killarney's lower lake and was built by O'Donoghue Mór in the 15th century. The Castle came into the hands of the Brownes who became the Earls of Kenmare and owned an extensive portion of the lands that are now part of Killarney National Park . Legend has it that O'Donoghue still exists in a deep slumber under the waters of Lough Leane. On the first morning of May every seven years he rises from the lake on his magnificent white horse and circles the lake. Anyone catching a glimpse of him is said to be assured of good fortune for the rest of their lives. The large rock at the entrance to the bay is known as O'Donoghue's prison. Ross Castle was the last stronghold in Munster to hold out against Cromwell. It was eventually taken by General Ludlow in 1652.
Sprawling over 10,236 hectares, the sublime Killarney National Park is an idyllic place to explore. Ross Castle and Muckross House draw big crowds, but it's possible to escape amid Ireland's largest area of ancient oak woods, with panoramic views of its highest mountains and the country's only wild herd of native red deer.
The core of the national park is the Muckross Estate, donated to the state by Arthur Bourn Vincent in 1932; the park was designated a Unesco Biosphere Reserve in 1982. The Killarney Lakes – Lough Leane (the Lower Lake, or 'Lake of Learning'), Muckross (or Middle) Lake and the Upper Lake – make up about a quarter of the park, and are surrounded by natural oak and yew woodland, and overlooked by the high crags and moors of Purple Mountain (832m) to the west and Knockrower (552m) to the south.
Framed by its fishing port, the Dingle peninsula's charming little 'capital' manages to be quaint without even trying. Some pubs double as shops, so you can enjoy Guinness and a singalong among hats and hardware, horseshoes and wellies. It has long drawn runaways from across the world, making it a cosmopolitan and creative place. In summer its hilly streets can be clogged with visitors; in other seasons its authentic charms are yours for the savouring.
Although Dingle is one of Ireland's largest Gaeltacht towns, the locals have voted to retain the name Dingle rather than go by the officially sanctioned – and signposted – Gaelige name of An Daingean.
Ladies View located between Kenmare and Killarney on the Ring of Kerry (N71) and in the heart of Killarney National Park is one of Irelands best known panoramas.

At Ladies View you will find Ladies View Industries which comprises of a Gift Shop, Cafe and Bar. Our Gift Store has the largest selection of gifts in the area and our prices are the most competitive. Our Cafe and Bar will allow you a welcome break from your tour of the area in a most beautiful and peaceful location.
Muckross Abbey is both an Old Irish Monastery & Modern Irish Graveyard. It is situated in the middle of the national park and a five minute walk from Muckross house car park. It dates back to the beginnings of Christianity in Ireland. The first monastery was reputed to have been built here by Saint Fionan sometime in the 6th century.
The Franciscan friary of Irrelagh, now known as Muckross Abbey was founded for the Observatine Franciscans about 1448 by Daniel McCarthy Mor. The friars remained in occupation at Muckross at least intermittently and despite the dissolution of the monasteries until Cromwellian times. The present well-preserved ruins include a church with a wide, square tower and fine windows, and a vaulted cloister with an arcade of arches around a square courtyard. In the middle of the courtyard grows an ancient yew tree, said traditionally to be as old as the Abbey. Muckross Abbey was the burial place of local chieftains, and in the 17th and 18th centuries, the three Gaelic poets, Geoffrey O'Donoghue, Aodhagan O'Rathaille and Eoghan Rua O'Suilleabhain. The graveyard in the grounds surrounding the Abbey is still in use with a number of burials there each year.
Perched on the shores of Galway Bay, Dunguaire Castle is one of prettiest fortresses in Ireland. The stone tower house has a long history stretching back to medieval times and has inspired some of Ireland's greatest writers.
Dunguaire Castle is one of the most photographed castles in Ireland for good reason — set against Galway Bay, the landscape of shimmering water and low rolling hills provides an unforgettable backdrop for the historic and charming tower. Take time to climb the knoll and admire the scenery, even before going inside.
The castle itself has been restored and converted into a small museum. It is possible to climb the tower and learn about the history of the structure. In fact, each floor of the museum has drawings and exhibits to shows what life would have been like at Dunguaire during several different time periods.
Easily visible from the coast of Counties Galway and Clare, the rocky, wind-buffeted Aran Islands have a desolate beauty that draws countless day trippers. Visitors who stay longer experience the sensation that they're far further removed from the Irish mainland than the 40-minute ferry ride or 10-minute flight would suggest.
An extension of the limestone escarpment that forms The Burren in Clare, the islands have shallow topsoil scattered with wild flowers, grass where livestock grazes and jagged cliffs pounded by surf. Ancient forts here are some of the oldest archaeological remains in Ireland.
Inishmore (Irish: Inis Mór) is the largest island and home to the only town, Kilronan. Inishmaan (Inis Meáin) preserves its age-old traditions and evokes a sense of timelessness. Inisheer (Inis Oírr), the smallest island, has a strong trad culture.
The Burren National Park is located in the southeastern corner of the Burren and is approximately 1500 hectares in size. The Park land was bought by the Government for nature conservation and public access. It contains examples of all the major habitats within the Burren: Limestone Pavement, Calcareous Grassland, Hazel scrub, Ash/Hazel Woodland, Turloughs, Lakes, Petrifying Springs, Cliffs and Fen.
The word "Burren" comes from an Irish word "Boíreann" meaning a rocky place. This is an extremely appropriate name when you consider the lack of soil cover and the extent of exposed Limestone Pavement. However it has been referred to in the past as "Fertile rock" due to the mixture of nutrient rich herb and floral species.
The highest point in the park is Knockanes (207 metres) which continues as a curving terraced ridge to Mullaghmór to the south. East of this ridge is an area of extensive, low lying limestone pavement containing a number of semi-permanent lakes. West of this ridge the pavement sweeps down to partially drift-covered ground which gradually rises again to reach the foot of a rocky escarpment. To the south of the park the limestone bedrock disappears under a layer of glacial till. This till area is far more intensively managed for pasture and silage.

Doolin is a vibrant place full of characters, stories and experiences and is home to some of the region's best accommodation, eateries and beautiful local shops. The people of Doolin are passionate about their community and look forward to welcoming you with open arms.
Ross Abbey is the name used locally for Ross Errilly Friary, one of the most prolific and longest surviving Franciscan monasteries in Ireland which, after its final demise, left a superb ruin now in the care of the Office of Public Works that can be visited for free.
The ruin is of a 15th century monastic building with all walls, doorways, some stairs and some fascinating features still intact.
The history of Ross Errilly is closely linked to Ireland's history as a nation- a history of centuries of oppression of the Catholic faith and of Irish people secretly practising their religion and secretly supporting religious communities.
Ross Abbey is a well preserved ruin and it has some interesting features, such as the beautiful central cloister which is left quite intact. Look out for the fish tank in the kitchen where live fish freshly caught in the Black River out the back of the friary were kept until their time had arrived to be cooked.
This traditional holiday spot overlooking Galway Bay is only 3km west of Galway city so you'll not be far from the shops, pubs and clubs. If you want easy access to beaches and savour the vibrant and energetic atmosphere of the "City of the Tribes" this is the place to stay.

And along the "Golden Half Mile" visitors will find a selection of pubs and restaurants, and of course if they are feeling lucky, have a flutter in one of the casinos.

It also has a health and fitness suite with a gym, sauna, steam room and a massage treatment centre. During the summer months the complex also has a large amusement park on the seafront site.
A Benedictine Abbey with a 6 acre Victorian Walled Garden, under restoration, facing Diamond Hill. A stream divides the Walled Garden into its two distinct areas - the Kitchen Garden and the Flower Garden. The planting style in the Flower Garden is that of the late Victorian era. The original garden, which is completely enclosed by a brick and limestone wall, was constucted around 1870 and laid out by the head gardener, James Garnier. The original 21 glasshouses were designed by Cranstons of Birmingham, two of which have now been restored. The building was originally known as Kylemore Castle and only became known as Kylemore Abbey in the 1920s when the community of nuns arrived after fleeing Ypres (Belgium) during the First World War.
The Abbey was originally built as a romantic gift, and the Abbey and the surrounding mountains and lakes are steeped in history. Approximately 46km from Westport, past Leenane and The Killary Fjord, Kylemore Abbey, one of the West of Ireland's top tourist attractions, is not to be missed.
Blarney Castle located in Blarney Village, Blarney Castle is just northwest of Cork City was built by one of Ireland's greatest chieftains, Cormac MacCarthy and is one of Ireland's most sought-out attractions. The MacCarthys held sway over Blarney and Munster throughout the many tumultuous centuries of Anglo-Irish conflict until the defeat of the old Irish nobles at the Battle of the Boyne in 1690, after which the Lord of Blarney was exiled.
The Blarney Stone, also known as the Stone of Eloquence, is located atop the castle's tower, going up the 127 steps to the top of the castle, 37 feet high, will find the Blarney Stone, the legendary Stone of Eloquence, found at the top of the Tower. Kiss it and you'll never again be lost for words. But don't take our word for it – everyone from Sir Walter Scott to a host of American presidents, world leaders, and international entertainers has been eager to take advantage.
While the Blarney Castle that visitors see today was constructed in 1446, the history of the place goes back two centuries before that time. The story begins with a magical stone, its origins shrouded in mystery. One legend says it was the rock that Moses struck with his staff to produce water for the Israelites during their exodus from Egypt. Another legend relates that it had once been Jacob's Pillow and that the prophet Jeremiah had brought it to Ireland.

Kinsale, County Cork is all about scenery, stories and surprises. let's start with the surprises, Kinsale is hopping like no place else in Ireland in the cool of an Irish spring. The town is busy with locals and tourists alike, with many French, recently arrived overnight from Roscoff giving a well dressed look, to an already well heeled and presented town. Steeped in stories, the defeat of the Irish in the Battle of Kinsale 1601 changed the course of Irish history forever with the Flight of the Earls (the old order of Irish chieftains) and the arrival of the British planters. But, long before even that event, it was an important trading port on the route to the new world. Landmark taverns and the Dutch style.
Kinsale thrives on its waterfront location, the galleons which once sailed right up town have been replaced with leisure craft for both sailing and fishing. The Kinsale regatta is one of the longest running in Ireland and as popular as ever. Thirty years ago, Kinsale pioneered the Slow Food Movement with local artisan food producers getting together with chefs to produce the most wonderful food. In fact there seems to be more bars, restaurants and cafes per square mile here than in Dublin.
Charles Fort is a classic example of a late 17th century star-shaped fort. William Robinson, architect of the Royal Hospital in Kilmainham, Dublin, and Superintendent of Fortifications, is credited with designing the fort. As one of the largest military installations in the country, Charles Fort has been associated with some of the most momentous events in Irish history. The most significant of these are the Williamite War 1689-91 and the Civil War 1922-23. Charles Fort was declared a National Monument in 1973. Across the estuary is James Fort designed by Paul Ive in 1602.
Shandon Steeple officially know as the Church of St Anne's is the most famous land mark in Cork City. Locally know as the Four Face Liar because each of the four clocks on it told a different time.
The name Shandon comes from the old Gaelic name Sean Dun, which means Old Fort which as the name suggests it was build on the site of an old fort on Mallow Street as Shandon Street was previously known as. Standing 170 feet high the tower was built in 1722, using the sandstone from the old Shandon Castle on two sides and the limestone from the Franciscan Abbey which was located on the North Mall on the other two sides.
The steeple of St Anne's Church in Shandon, where Shandon Bells rest, consists of a square tower surmounted by a lantern and on top of the lantern is a copper dome with a gilded weather vane in the shape of a salmon which is eleven feet three inches in length, knows as "the goldy fish" locally. The tower is the home of the famous Shandon Bells where the visitor is invited to play a tune on the bells.
Situated on a site where worship has been offered since 606AD, Saint Fin Barre's Cathedral is the finest example of French Neo-Gothic Cathedral architecture in Ireland and one of the most coherent in Western Europe. Designed by William Burges the Cathedral boasts over 1,500 stone and wood carvings, spectacular stained glass windows, marble features and floor mosaics crafted by Italian craftsmen. The historic 'Pit Organ' is the only one of its kind in Ireland. Visitors can enjoy a guided tour of their choice throughout visiting hours.
Also known as the Druid's Altar, Drombeg Stone Circle is one of the most popular archaeological sites in Ireland. The stone pillars are arranged in a mysterious ring in the green rolling countryside in County Cork.
Drombeg Stone Circle is an archaeological area composed of 17 large stones staged in an eerie ring. Because the monument is thousands of years old, there is little that can be fully confirmed about the history of the stone circle that is found in West Cork.The circle is sometimes called the Druid's Altar because some believe that it was a place for ceremonies. Excavations around the stones uncovered cremated bones and other objects that indicate it was used for a burial. Other theories about the site suggest that two of the 17 stones are staged to represent male and female energy.
1 ) Dublin St. Patrick's Day Parade
Festival Month - March
For the biggest, loudest, proudest salute to St. Patrick, attend the Dublin St. Patrick's Day Parade on or around March 17. Note that it is not always held on St. Patrick's Day, so check your dates on the website before booking your trip to Ireland. You'll have the chance to witness traditional Irish music, dancing, and taste some of the best beer in the world (obviously!) If you prefer quieter festivals in Ireland, opt for a small village parade instead.
2 ) Fleadh Traditional Irish Music Festival
Festival Month - August
The official name is Fleadh Cheoil na hEirann, but it is often shortened to Fleadh for obvious reasons. What you really need to know is that it's being held in Sligo this August 10 to August 17. The location changes every year, but the traditional Irish music festival always occurs in August.
3 ) Dublin Horse Festival
Festival Month - August
Also in August, if you're a fan of equestrian sports like dressing and hunting, this will be your favorite of the festivals in Ireland. We recommend Ladies' Day as a must see, where one lucky woman is awarded the Aga Khan Trophy for being the best dressed. (Think Kentucky Derby hats on steroids.)

- "WE'RE protecting them." *STOMP*
Masters and Students
- Any time Skyquake (before he died and was raised as a zombie) is on screen.
- Hell, even after that he still manages to be pretty badass.
- One for Optimus:
"Skyquake, STAY DOWN. *punches Skyquake hard in the face*
- Bumblebee defeating Skyquake by ripping wires out of the Decepticon while in mid-air.
Con Job
- Wheeljack's introductory sequence:
If you're trying to ruin my day, you're gonna have to try harder.
- Wheeljack's escape, sword duel with Makeshift, multi-bot-melee... Heck, anytime he's in action on screen! (And off screen, if Bulkhead is to be believed)
- Special mention to when he sticks a grenade to Makeshift, then shoves him back through the ground bridge and onto the Nemesis, where he blows up, taking out an entire platoon of Vehicons.
- Optimus stops an oncoming train with his bare hands in "Convoy".
Deus ex Machina
- When Starscream is using the Energon Harvester on Bulkhead, does Bulkhead die? No, he starts walking toward Starscream despite being overwhelmed, grabs the Harvester, punches Starscream in the face, and throws the unstable Harvester into the sky.
Speed Metal
- Bulkhead and Bumblebee's fight with Breakdown in the parking lot. Special mention goes to 'Bee landing a combo on the much larger Decepticon that ended with a flip kick and Bulkhead using a streetlight to whack Breakdown.
- Optimus blindsiding an escaping Knock Out and running him off the road.
- Arcee overcoming her fear of Airachnid and beating seven shades out of the rogue 'Con.
- Jack blowing up Airachnid's ship with improvisation alone, something very few humans in the complete Transformers franchise have ever managed. Single-handedly, no less!
Out Of His Head
- Optimus running through Starscream's heat ray in "Out of his Head".
- And then causing an ungodly huge explosion.
- Raf trying to stop Megatron (who was possessing Bumblebee at the time) from returning to his original body by leaping onto the cortical psychic patch, and Megatron's Villainous Rescue, in which he tackles Starscream and drags him away for punishment.
Operation: Breakdown
- Bulkhead and Breakdown's Back-to-Back Badasses moment in episode 16, when they take on MECH together. Then, when Starscream and several Mooks show up, Bulkhead takes on all of them (including Breakdown) by himself.
- Silas' Eviler Than Thou moment of kidnapping and torturing Breakdown was pretty awesome, when you consider how much Decepticons underestimate humankind.
- Fowler's Big Damn Heroes moment in "Crisscross" (complete with attack helicopters), where he manages to scare off Airachnid.
- For that matter, Airachnid and Arcee's rematch. Especially when Jack and Arcee manage to temporarily trap Airachnid in cement.
- Gotta give Jack credit for swiping Silas' radio. Dude's big and surrounded by armed guards. That took guts.
Metal Attraction
- In "Metal Attraction", there's the scene where Bulkhead and Arcee take advantage of being stuck together to perform a sneak attack on Airachnid.
- Both Bulkhead and Arcee vs Breakdown and Airachnid fights qualify.
Rock Bottom
- Bulkhead holding up the collapsing roof of the cave, and managing to do so for most of the episode.
- When Starscream starts threatening Miko and tries to grab her, the big guy kicks him in the face while still managing to hold up the collapsing cave roof.
- Jack saving Miko and Bulkhead from Starscream by using a Drill Tank to drive through the wall and slam right into him.
- Arcee's own Big Damn Heroes moment when she catches Starscream off guard while he's threatening an immobile Bulkhead.
- But Megatron gets a good one that episode, in which he's paralyzed and trapped under some rocks, only to find Jack drilling in an attempt to find Miko and Bulkhead. Does Megatron beg not to be killed? No, he actually goads Jack to do just that. Even when he's trapped, Megatron can still be intimidating.
- Bumblebee punching out Airachnid while pretending to be immobilized in "Partners".
- Starscream reverting some of his Villain Decay by nearly killing Arcee in a fight.
- Arcee herself gets one when she has a Heroic Second Wind and beats the tar out of Starscream, scarring his face in the process.
Stronger, Faster
- One for the bad guys in Episode 22, specifically Megatron. Ratchet, hepped up on imperfect synthetic Energon, breaks into a Decepticon energon-mining operation, intending to take down Megatron. At first, Megatron merely laughs him off as the Autobot medic, then Ratchet punches him square in the face so hard that Megatron flies backwards into the wall. Megatron's response? To assess the damage, then deliver a Pre-Ass-Kicking One-Liner.
Megatron: All right, then.
- You've got to admit that when Ratchet punched Megatron in the face and sent him flying into a wall it looked damn cool. Even if he was doped up on robo-roids.
- That whole first fight when Ratchet basically takes down a dozen Vehicons single-handedly also qualifies for similar reasons. Despite the robo-roids, it was one of the most awesome action sequences in the series to date.
- And even after Megatron guts him, Ratchet is still able to fight Knock Out to a standstill.
- You've got to admit that when Ratchet punched Megatron in the face and sent him flying into a wall it looked damn cool. Even if he was doped up on robo-roids.
One Shall Fall
- Optimus beating the crap out of Megatron. He goes in for the kill, but Megs grabs the blade and snaps it.
- The fight as a whole belongs here. See for yourself.
One Shall Rise Three Parter
- "One Shall Rise, Part 1" is packed chock full of these. Starts with the Big Damn Heroes moment on the part of the Autobots, specifically Bulkhead holding his own against a fully powered and Dark-Energon-fueled Megatron. Continues with Bumblebee saving June and Raf from the freak weather, and culminates with the awesome yet horrifying first proper appearance of Unicron.
- June Darby chewing out the Autobots in "One Shall Rise, Part 1" for the way they've been putting children in harm's way. As someone who's always had a problem with children in war zones in many versions of Transformers, this Troper almost literally cheered.
- Megatron calls up Unicron and offers to serve him. Unicron's response? To dismisses him as unworthy with an epic Reason You Suck Speech. He even makes Megatron resort to groveling.
- Optimus when he meets Unicron for the first time. After Unicron attacks him, Optimus not only lowers his defenses, but tries to negotiate peace with the utmost politeness, even addressing him as "Lord Unicron." It doesn't work, of course, but you gotta give him some points in negotiating for mercy with the Cybertronian equivalent to the devil while being no less badass at it. And for a second it looks like it might work. At the least, Unicron has the class to actually stop and listen when Optimus shows deference and respect.
- Megatron is inside the Autobot base during a temporary truce, and what happens? Raf confronts him, Jack refuses to be baited and Miko basically threatens to kick his ass if he betrays the 'Bots and has to be dragged away by Agent Fowler. The whole scene is one big ball of awesome.
- Megatron holds off several giant mooks Unicron makes single-handedly, and actually kills three. The Autobots also get this in their Big Damn Heroes moment.
- On a related note, Megatron punches one of the giant Unicron copies hard enough to destroy its head.
- Soundwave dishing out a Curb Stomp Battle to Airachnid when she tries to take over the Decepticons and leave Megatron behind. The fight literally ends with the silent spymaster stomping on the traitorous Dark Action Girl, forcing her to yield.
- Airachnid inferior. Soundwave superior.
- Now we know why Starscream never challenged Soundwave. Bad idea.
- Optimus Prime and Megatron have a Back-to-Back Badasses moment while fighting off Unicron's antibodies.
- Here, take a look.
- Megatron being able to resist the power of Unicron is pretty darn awesome. Unicron ends having having to seize control of his body just to get him to do what he wants, and by that point it is too late.
Megatron: Megatron is commanded by NO ONE!!
- From the same episode, there's Optimus "lighting their darkest hour"!
- Ratchet's retelling of the history of Optimus, Megatron, and Cybertron just felt so... epic.
- It also gives Optimus's line, "I chose my side" so much more weight. He turned on his mentor figure in order to stand up for what he believed to be the way to save Cybertron.
Season Two
Orion Pax Three Parter
- A small bit, but I thought it was cool for Megatron to actually come up with a believable answer to Orion's question of why the "heroic" faction they belong to are called Decepticons.
- As if we we needed more proof why Soundwave is awesome, he gets another one in "Orion Pax, Part 1". So, Arcee is on a rampage inside the Nemesis looking for Optimus/Orion, and is on a collision course with Soundwave while racing down a hallway in bike mode. Soundwave's response? Open a GroundBridge mere inches in front of him, just before Arcee runs over him. All while standing there silently. No movement. No speaking. It's like a study in badassery.
- Arcee's rampage itself was still awesome. She manages to take down about ten Vehicons before Soundwave bridges her out.
- Starscream is back, and he's making sure that the 'Cons feel it, also showing traits of being a Combat Pragmatist again. His Villain Decay is now being reverted further.
- His escape wasn't bad either, defeating several air drones and killing the last one by blasting it several times at point blank range. Though admittedly he does get hit and sent crashing down towards the earth.
- Bonus Points for taking down a jet-mode Vehicon with Jet-Judo!
- His escape wasn't bad either, defeating several air drones and killing the last one by blasting it several times at point blank range. Though admittedly he does get hit and sent crashing down towards the earth.
- The Autobot's raid on the space bridge, complete with Ratchet shushing a 'Con who tried to call for help.
- Jack suits up and heads out to Cybertron. His salute to the others just before he leaves pretty well sums up his character development up to this point.
- Major awesome points go to June for how well she's taking the whole thing.
- Pretty much all of "Orion Pax, Part 3":
- Orion Pax deletes the works of Project Iacon in an effort to deny Megatron the data for several Cybertronian WMD's. Megatron was smart enough to back up the data (itself an awesome moment for Megatron), but it's still a very establishing moment for Orion to uphold the same morals, even when facing almost certain death.
- Later, when he whips out his guns when being kicked around by a pair of Vehicons and quickly kills them. Could count as a Funny Moment given the way he does it.
- Heck, Jack himself got a moment when he absolutely destroys the rampaging Insecticon by throwing a Scraplet onto it and herding the entire swarm to chew it to rusted little bits. Note this is the same member of a species that knocked Arcee unconscious, not to mention seriously wounded Megatron in single combat later on, and Jack defeated it in one simple attack.
- And that's after he faced it with nothing but a length of rebar. "Back off, bug!"
- Megatron's fight with the Autobots at the space bridge, and the way the Autobots refuse to stay down.
- Bulkhead tackling Megatron off the platform and slamming him into a wall during said fight.
Bulkhead: You're going down, buckethead!
- Arcee slamming into Megatron halfway across the platform of the space bridge. Remember that she is less than half Megatron's size and a lightweight fighter in comparison to him.
- Though effortlessly cast aside, the way Ratchet throws his life on the line to protect Jack and Orion Pax from Megatron is one of pure awesome.
- Optimus' Barehanded Blade Block, which effectively bookends the last seven episodes (starting with "One Shall Fall"). " Megatron, be gone! *beats the scrap out of Megatron*"
Operation: Bumblebee Two Parter
- "Operation Bumblebee, Part 1" gives us Ratchet and Optimus gunning down an entire group of Vehicons while Bumblebee steals a MacGuffin right from Megatron's grasp. While inside a ground bridge!
- Starscream strutting into MECH's base and basically telling them what they're doing wrong before proposing an alliance.
- In "Operation Bumblebee, Part 2" we get a mode-locked Bumblebee, totally weaponless, charging in to battle MECH and Starscream head on alone. And he almost wins.
- Bumblebee and Starscream's standoff also counts.
- MECH finally gets fed up with their plans failing and takes Starscream's T-Cog when he narrowly fails.
- Bulkhead grabbing the Forge of Solus Prime and promptly handing Breakdown his arse was pretty cool, then he goes on to do the same to Knock Out before Megatron intervenes.
- To be fair to Knock Out, he did have Optimus and Arcee on the ropes with the shield generator and would have taken them down if not for Bulkhead's intervention.
- Ratchet repairing Bumblebee's T-Cog. (Doubles as a heartwarming moment.)
Loose Cannons
- In "Loose Cannons", Dreadwing and Wheeljack's second fight/chase is pretty cool, and it is stopped when Wheeljack and Bulkhead trap him at the end of a tunnel. Then Dreadwing detonates a bomb underneath Bulkhead's hiding position, burying Wheeljack underneath a thin layer of rock and then kidnapping Bulkhead.
- The shootout between Dreadwing and Optimus is pretty epic, and Optimus finishes it by dropping a giant wrecking ball on top of his opponent.
- To stop Dreadwing from blowing up Bulkhead with a bomb that's been clamped onto him, Optimus, Wheeljack and Bulkhead surround the downed 'Con. Completely undeterred by the fact that they could all be blown up there and then, they force Dreadwing to defuse the bomb.
- Before that, Bulkhead breaks himself free and tries knocking Wheeljack out before running towards the sea, in an effort to stop his best friend being blown to scrap. Granted, the bomb was defused later anyway, but still.
- Megatron vs. Airachnid's Insecticon. It's the first time Megatron genuinely struggled against an enemy bigger and stronger than him, but he again proves why he is so feared. His scream of "Let that be a warning to anyone who dares cross a Gladiator of Kaon!" was well deserved.
- Optimus Prime nearly killing Megatron, which is a sharp contrast from him sparing Starscream who was under similar circumstances which proves his promise he made in "One Shall Fall".
- Starscream's Villainous Rescue of Arcee.
Nemesis Prime
- Optimus Prime vs. Nemesis Prime in its entirety. Especially the end, where while Silas is distracted, Optimus gets his Heroic Second Wind and beats the scrap out of his Evil Knockoff, before dropping it through the roof and right on top of Silas. Ouch.
- Agent Fowler -- who establishes himself as a retired Army Ranger -- infiltrating the MECH base, knocking out several Mooks along the way, then getting the drop on Silas and fighting him one on one. He loses that fight, yes, but he holds his own at first, and more importantly, distracts Silas from controlling Nemesis Prime long enough for Optimus to finish it off.
- Agent Fowler also has the credential of being the first person to make Silas lose his cool.
- On the villainous side, Silas using Nemesis Prime to defeat Bulkhead (easily the second strongest Autobot behind Optimus) in a little under 6 seconds.
- The episode opens with Starscream stumbling into Bulkhead on the Nemesis. Bulkhead tries to get Starscream to show him the way out, but talks break down and Starscream slashes Bulkhead's chest, throwing Cliffjumper's death in his face in the process. Bulkhead then proceeds to beat Starscream to death. Only later do we learn that it's a clone.
- Megatron's reaction to Airachnid's Insecticon invasion. He simply does the Unflinching Walk and declares "It's a busy day for assassins."
- Megatron is just wall-to-wall awesome here. He stalls the clones long enough for a break and kills three of them effortlessly, walks among an army of Insecticons like this is just a bad day at work instead of a major threat while gunning a few down, and throws out snappy one-liners all over the place.
- Not to mention that he is perfectly calm when the Nemesis starts to crash land like it's, at most, a mild annoyance.
- Bulkhead manages to stealth his way through the Nemesis, force it into a crash landing, then escape unseen.
- Optimus and Bumblebee's battle with the Insecticons.
- Arcee and Airachnid's fight, which ends with Airachnid being sealed inside a stasis pod.
- Starscream's clone attack had one high point before it all went downhill. When Megatron goes to the bridge to confront him, he realizes every single Vehicon on the bridge has been brutally murdered.
- Starscream offing his treacherous clone with two brutal close-range missile shots. While aware of the pain it would cause.
Flying Mind
- After Knockout comes out of stasis, with Jack right in front of him, we get this:
Knockout: *Points his drill at Jack* Say "Ahhh..."
- Made especially awesome by the fact that the other Autobots were more than capable of helping out, since they had been taken out of stasis already. Ratchet personally went to retrieve Jack because it's Jack.
- Jack climbed Megatron to get to the fuel dump control. Lemme repeat that: Jack. Climbed. Megatron. I guess going to another planet to save your own really does something to a person.
- Then he repeats it by climbing Knock Out to grab the data chip. When the Decepticons were explicitly reviving from stasis at the time. Megatron, at least, was quite neutralized at the time. Knock Out woke up and nearly caught him. He risked being left behind to retrieve the Iacon data.
Tunnel Vision
- "Shock and Drop". To clarify, Arcee gets the Insecticon to short-circuit by getting it to step on the electricity wire.
- And before that, Knock Out shocking the scrap out of Arcee during their one-on-one fight.
- Vogel ramming Knock Out with his train. Twice.
- Beforehand, Arcee forcing a train line to change to another point, with literally a second to spare before it crashes.
- I'm giving one to the writers of the series for actually having Miko not only be somewhat useful, but have her exclaim about feeling left behind by Jack and not come across as annoying and whiny was pretty good.
- Dreadwing's fight with Optimus. It takes a real Badass to go toe to toe with Optimus Prime and live, something only Megatron has done up until now.
- Optimus shooting at a cliff face and causing an avalanche to fall on top of Dreadwing. Dreadwing was lucky to have survived that.
- Starscream got a real moment when he obtained the Apex Armor and took on both Optimus and Dreadwing, forcing them to work together and use cunning to defeat him. Yeah, he lost, but he still walked away (literally) with the armor. Looks like Screamer's time as an Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain is just about over.
- Starscream went from a Fragile Speedster to a Mighty Glacier. Talk about a villain upgrade.
- Optimus and Dreadwing teaming up to defeat the Apex Armor-wielding Starscream.
- The whole fight between Soundwave and Wheeljack was awesome. Wheeljack actually landed a few hits and cracked Soundwave's visor, but then Soundwave lured Wheeljack down to where the relic was and when Wheeljack thought that Soundwave was down, the spymaster grabbed the relic with one of his tentacles and used it to defeat Wheeljack.
- Don't forget that Wheeljack actually tackled Soundwave off the side of the cliff.
- Ratchet and Raf manage to upload a virus into Laserbeak (who finally got named in this episode) and plant a bomb in the deployer to act as a decoy so that the virus goes undetected. What does the virus do? It downloads the entire Iacon Database from the Nemesis to the Autobot base!
- Bulkhead's way of dealing with the relic he was after. Even though he's severely weakened by the relic and facing three Insecticons, he was able to take all three out and he destroyed the relic, because if Megatron had it, it would be worse for everyone.
- Doubly awesome because he uses the Tox-En as a weapon against Hardshell and his goons.
- Even before that Bulkhead leading an Energon trail away from the volcano, to buy him more time. Surprisingly strategic.
- Hardshell gets Bulkhead back though. Literally. After getting thrown into the volcano with the Tox-En, he climbs out and shoots Bulkhead in the back with a missile.
- An out-of-universe one which goes more to the show. Transformers: Prime was the first Transformers show to get nominated for the Daytime Emmys after Beast Wars (which came out fifteen years before). It was nominated for six awards, and ultimately won two (both were for Outstanding individual achievement in animation).

Making plans for what happens after you die is never a really enjoyable experience. It is necessary, though, to take care of your family after your death. Unfortunately, it is this family who can make the whole estate planning process more difficult than it should be. While your family may not cause you issues about it now, you do need to plan ahead for the issues family dynamics could cause after your death.
Some families get along great. They will go along with anything you say you want in your estate plan. Other families have issues that can lead to arguments and even lawsuits over your estate. Forbes explains that you need to be aware of your family dynamics.
Consider the issues that may exist, such as sibling rivalry, or bad influences, such as a spouse, who may lead an heir to contest your estate. Also, think about the issues that may arise with second families and first families. Finally, keep in mind that some heirs may not be as fiscally responsible as you and how you would want to manage that problem.
You also need to talk with your family about your estate plan now. Get everyone together and lay out what will happen when you die. Handle any objections or questions right now when you are here to manage things. You should talk to everyone at the same time to make it clear that these are your wishes and there is nobody trying to sway you to do something or influence your decisions. Making your wishes clear to everyone is the best way to secure the validity of your estate plan.

Ellen Ott Marshall: What is "responsible hope"?
Hope is not a can-do attitude. Nor is it something with which God infuses us. Rather, it is a sense of possibility that can be fostered through practices of attentiveness.

The United Church of Christ's minister for racial justice helps people get started and stay on the journey of dismantling racism and deconstructing whiteness.
Detail from the book cover of "Breaking White Supremacy: Martin Luther King Jr. and the Black Social Gospel" by Gary Dorrien.
Though often overlooked by historians, the black social gospel -- a black church variant of the social gospel -- played a major role in the theology and ministry of Martin Luther King Jr. and the civil rights movement, says the seminary professor and author.

Three Abrahamic congregations in Omaha, Nebraska, have created the Tri-Faith Initiative, building separate houses of worship and a shared community center to promote peace and understanding among communities of different faiths.

Barber, left, and Jonathan Wilson-Hartgrove are working together on the Poor People's Campaign, a nationwide effort to "challenge the evils of systemic racism, poverty, the war economy, ecological devastation and the nation's distorted morality."

Understanding the way that America's history has subverted our reading of the Bible is necessary if we are to be freed from institutional racism and to embrace a Christianity that recognizes the equal worth of every person, says the author of "Reconstructing the Gospel."
It's important that white people who care about racial reconciliation and healing have difficult conversations in their own communities -- such as church, says Carolyn B. Helsel. Bigstock/Kasia Bialasiewicz
White people may feel shame and guilt about racism -- but that should not halt the conversation, says the author of the new book "Anxious to Talk About It."
Ordinary people can effect extraordinary change, but sometimes they need encouragement and information about how to get started, says the pastor, activist and author of the book "Transforming Communities."
A hugely popular Christian author talks about why he feels moved to break open the conversation in church circles by writing about progressive politics and social issues in his blog Stuff That Needs To Be Said.
The church is called to stand against the phenomenon of mass incarceration in the United States, says a pastor and author of "Rethinking Incarceration" in an interview.

text: During this season of goodwill our thoughts turn to crackling fires, being with the family and for many a song or a carol to bring merriment to the colder days. Tweet of the Day has been entertaining early morning listeners to the Radio 4 schedule every day since 2013, but this Christmas we will delight in an avian offering of the well known song the Twelve Days of Christmas. Reaching the the final verse of the song brings a requirement for twelve drummers drumming. As actress Alison Steadman recalls, is that the sound of drumming a distant drum-roll I can hear?

in his left.
My father late Dakto Basarji who left for heavenly abode on 15.11.2014 will be surely be happy if his near and dear ones show their face to him on the auspicious occasion of his 1st death anniversary on coming 15th Nov.on 11 a.m at Basar Old market West Siang Dist. Arunachal pradesh.
As my father was always fond of his relatives and community interest thus hope everyone will make their presence felt on that auspicious occasion.As if this occasion end up as a day of promise to service the Basar area society nothing like that.Not that he was my father but an standing ovation he really deserve as a person who really loved this society.
Sri Dakto Basarji was born some eighty yrs. ago as eldest son to his father late Kardak Basar of the Gori Village.He seems to have seen education as only means to change the society for good.And thus in the educational field he not only educated all his pro-genies but He was instrumental in setting up of the Gori M.E School.
And his genuine regret was not able to bring Ram Krishna Mission School in Basar area,among other things his contributions will be always remembered in making of -Gori football field of Gori Village Basar , the construction of the Gori-I Dere being the ASM of the united Gori and Soi Village.Being the Bazar Secy. Of the Basar Bazar he was instrumental in making of the Old Market Bazar School also.
And later played pivotal land in saving it from the land encroacher`s also. And some critics even claim that he also assisted late Tojo Basarji for construction of the Govt.H.S.School Basar which brought up many great persons of the Basar area.But his greatest contribution have been making of the ICAR research firm and KVK in Basar area and also donation of land for setting up of ITBF.
The great man always influenced his friends and relatives around him.We remember that there was a time that our house use to be the cultural and social meeting point.And surely great singer like Moge Doji,Director Higher education Tejum Paduji and Er,Markar Bam ( S.E PWD) etc.will accept this.
And my father even in odds he never buckled under pressure.This we show when our house was ones burn in fire and when his party lost election in PPA days .But he seems to have been very possessive of his childrens, specially me as critics claim I greatly reflect him.
In the Socio- Economic front He being the fighter for the justice and equality he was pioneer in the objection against the evacuation of the Soi Village.And for it as the compromise formula present Staaf canteen area is said to have taken birth in Basar area.And having vision of the future he was earlier one of the only one to support the Leut.Governor K.A Raja proposal to open capital in the Basar town.
And today whole local Publics are regreting for loosing this chance of economic boom ones and for all.My father also played a major role in starting the Staff canteen and Old market /Basar Bazar with his few friends and never took any allotment from the Govt. land also.And great man like Sri Boken Eteji also accepts this .Thus most of the claims of my father have witness.Thus many Publics of Basar town can see him as its modern founder.
He also played a major role in opening of the NH -52 road from Akajan to Basar town; in the present Shiv Mandir area as a contractor as he took one chen = 30 mtr. and completed it successfully for mare Rs.500/- which was also not large amount for the worst challenging cite he was given at that time .Later he went to Daporijo and established himself as a good contractor.In Basar his construction of two RWD Qtr. Can be still seen in the Gori Complex and one Irrigation channel in the Hiri area near Eshi Chiko Village.
In the political field he fought with Late Tomo Ribaji Ex-Hon`ble C.M hand in hand and was instrumental in making him politically successful. He never played politics for his personal gain and rather used to be in the losing end for it also.Most of theprominent Public leaders in the town seems to have benefitted from his generosity, specially in terms of getting land for settlement .
And for his openness also he seems to have been made as the ASM of the Gori Village for 5 terms that too uncontested.I appreciate his greatness when later he sacrificed his post for more educated person like Sri Gojum Basarji.My father always believed in my leadership and ultimately hoped that due to my less greediness the Publics of Basar area will support me.
And last election unfortunate result in which I was a candidate seems to effected his health once and for all; as I seems to represent his pride and egoism.As perhaps he really wanted to do many things for the society through me and perhaps he himself felt his limitation for less education in his own time.And wanted to compensate himself through the educated sons and daughters.
The present blog of mine,D.T Cable network we run in the Basar town,the famous GRK society in the Basar area is to many way I suppose ,effect of my fathers vision and wishes directly or indirectly.Even what little vote I got in last election which peoples call as a honourable beginning also was God`s and his blessings only. I remember even in our childhood the poor Cow Boys from Daporijo side who use to take cow from Silapathar to Daporijo used to mostly sleep in our house.This was his greatness and sometimes we got even infection from his magnanimity for sharing their dirty food.
In the field of the agriculture he sacrificed his Teru WRC field to make hybrid crop/ rice research possible. This show the introduction of the IR-8 rice variety in the rice field of Basar area which suited the local environment.
He was also instrumental in the opening of the ICAR farm in Basar town of the west Siang Dist.Arunachal Pradesh in cooperation with the Ex-Hon`ble C.M late Tomo Ribaji which is the 2nd best in the North east.And in opening of the KVK farm in the Bam village also he played a lead role.As this was time when the leader was blindly followed and today the benefit is really seen for the Publics.
He showed his patriotism by playing a vital role in donation of large chunk of land to the 22rd Battallian of ITBP.Which later converted into 23rd SSB way back in 1968.This was time when the Commandant was I.V Negi.And presently this land is again occupied by 49th ITBP Battalion Force of India.
The document relating to the land transaction should be in the SSB RK Puram Head Office in New Delhi.And even the land owners like Karto Basar of Soi Village is still alive and also important man like P.I- Sri karken Basar of Gori –II village.There was time that the new SSB recruits used to come to seek my fathers blessings.And earlier a SSB quota for job recruitment was kept for my father to decide.
And in the business field he was the first to bring the horse and good variety cow in the Basar town.And not only that he brought cobbler and barber for the first time in the Basar town.And the Bihari business man more specially seems to have spread in Basar town by his initiative.
And in late 1970`s in connivance with the J.K Satto company he brought Power Tiller and distributed Rice Mill of the Bharat Shakti company in whole Siang and Sibunsiri Dist. With the partnership with the Withering Company own by R.P Chabriaji of Guwahaty.
Today also his rice mill is functioning in some nearby and far off village this even ADC Sri Hento kargaji working under Govt. of Arunachal Pradesh accepts.I accompanied my father on many of his business mission and many a times he use to sacrifice his part of profit on poor Peoples request.
He was also also heard to be instrumental in setting up the cinema hall in the Basar town with partnership with relative Late Todak Basarji.He also started the Koor Aao Saw Mill for operation of timber which benefitted many Publics.This was in partnership with the Ram Avatar Sharmaji of the Tinsukia Assam.
In the education field he made sure his all the progenies get nice quality education.The kids where provided all the facility like-tution by the best teachers, badminton ,gramophone facility in the childhood where provided to us.
He even provided us the milk from the cow this show his passion for making us so special in a time when others where unaware of health and other basic need for child growth.Thus when the progenies are seen as different by critics credit alone lies on my father who seems to have always learnt from others as he went as far as Kanpur on his own in late 1970`s,which was unthinkable for a Arunachalee at his time.
And he surely seems to have learn many things from other and knew the value of the proper diet from the day one. And father also advised many students to achieve greatness the main beneficiary of my fathers magnanimity of good host in dinner ad advise seems to have been my elder brother Er.Tomo Basar`s batch whose friends always used to visit my house.And is still dated as the most successful batch.
My father was suffering from asthama and had to struggle all his life.He was orphan at early age and brought up by the forefather Late Kargo Basar who was also one of the only freedom fighter of the Arunachal Pradesh.My father was blessed with a nobel wife Late Tumbi Basar who was also great lady of her time having represented State in Republic Day parade in new Delhi in late seventies.
And was first to fight against the force marriage in the Aalo Bango Dere of the West Siang Dist. This was when the R.N Haldipur who later become the leut.Governor of the State of Arunachal Pradesh who was then the Hon`ble Deputy Commissioner. My mother died on 4th Jan. 1974.And after my mother died of cancer he re-married the present mother Smty.Yai Basar.
He is now servived by-Smty.Tokir Angu ( J.T),Smty.Topu Ete ( Bussiness woman),Er.Tomo Basar( C.E),myself,Sri Tojo Basar( proprietor of D.T Construction House),Prof.Topi Basar,Sri Toli Basar ( Bussiness man),Er.Tonya Basar,Er.Todar Basar ( A.E Power Dept.),Smty.Tongam Lollen ( LDC).There are also some great man who have helped my father in his times of troubles.We the D.T family will be always indebted to Hon`ble M.P Rajya Sabha Tarun Vijayji in helping tracing my beloved father few years back when he was lost in the street of New Delhi.
This was time when my father was really ill and was on medication .The family will be also indebted to the family and friends who visited my fathers last rite.Notably of them was Sri Tabom Bam ( IAS) Retd.Chief Secy.Govt.Of A.P),Sri karyom Riram ( Rtd.Secy.Govt. of A.P),Rtd.Director health Dr.Tajum Basar, Rtd. Director Agriculture Sri Tago Basar,Sri Eken Ribaji ( Ex-Hon`ble Cabinet Minister) ,Sri Hengo Basar( P.D ),Sri Doi Riba ( business man)Sri Naksang Tsring Gen.Secy PPA etc.
The generosity of my father was even seen when his last will was read out by my elder sister which was written by my father.And which secret was knowingly eluded from others at his direction when he was alive.The will bestowed a portion of land occupied by his brother Nyajum Basar permanently to him.The greatness of my father was also seen when he was no more, so much of crowd was seen in his last rite which truly spoke of his greatness.And so many prayed for his bereaved soul.
My father lived life King size saying and doing what his heart said and thought, he was a fearless man and never compromised on his principles.His last right was performed by the grandson Mr.Moli Basar, Mr.Moji Basar,Mr.Joto Basar and Mr. Limi Basar.He always wanted the best for the Society.
Hope his wishes are tried to be imbibed by the present generation of the Basar area in particular ,the present D.T Shop in Basar is a tribute to a great man and the progenies want to do something more for man of his stature in the future.And as for now is opening a OPD in the CHC Basar for the medical patients on the same day of his remembrance on his first anniversary in 15 Nov.2015.
And want all friends and relatives to visit in the Old Market Basar town house to get his divine blessings and to bless us.For few great man alone make a legacy in this life others make mare living and we are surely proud to be his sibling and for inheriting his gene pool.And will surely continue to serve this society till the last drop of blood if you wish so.
Some of the comment of the Peoples on my fathers death:-

2. The great man as he was he left for heavenly abode on the auspicious occasion of the Galo calendar- Z after Diri/less agricultural production time and before Dichi I,e-winter.( This is the message Sri Karyom Riram Rtd.Secy. Govt. of Arunachal Pradesh read on the funeral ceremony)
3. The Govt.must recognize the contribution of Late Dakto Basar on setting up of ICAR , KVK and ITBP in Basar area on coming 15th Nov.
