Somebody's having a birthday this week — can you guess who?
Big-Time Shopping
Recently, I went to see my son Domer in The Land of the North, and we took a little day jaunt to "one of the most visited tourist destinations in the world."
Can you guess what that was?
Handling Complainers
Yesterday morning, I went to Wal-Mart to pick up groceries for Mom and a few things for myself.
When it came time to check out, I spied one un-busy register and made a beeline for it.
That's when I noticed the "20 item maximum" sign hanging over the checker's head.
Nearly Wordless Thursday
This was the view outside my kitchen window yesterday evening:
An almost perfect full moon in a pink and purple sky. I thought it too lovely not to share!
Today we have spitting rain, blustery winds, and grey skies. Can Ole Man Winter be far behind?
Why doesn't Fall stick around a lot longer?
By the way, November's full moon is referred to as the Full Beaver Moon, or the Frosty Moon, take your pick.
Have a super weekend, everyone!
"Dying with Dignity"
I suppose by now most of you have heard that Brittany Maynard, the young woman with a terminal brain cancer diagnosis, opted to end her life over the weekend in an effort to "die with dignity."
My thoughts, of course, are shaped by my Catholic upbringing, so if you're in the camp that lauds Ms. Maynard for her "bravery," feel free to move along, rather than subject yourself to the "other" side.
(And no hard feelings, okay? We're ALL entitled to our own opinions!)
NaNoWriMo Time Again
Today, writers across the globe begin the grueling challenge of NaNoWriMo.
National Novel Writing Month is a 30-day period set aside for writers (and wannabes) to complete a 50,000-word novel. There's a LOT of hoopla surrounding it — pep talks, guides to success, tweets, blogs.
Too bad. Once again, I won't be joining them.
This year, my problem is TIME (or rather, the lack of it).
Photos…Before Fall Fades Away
Autumn carries more gold in its pocket than all the other seasons. ~Jim Bishop
Is anybody tired of seeing Fall photos? I hope not, for this is my favorite time of year, and I can't resist adding a few more to the collections already on the Internet.
We've been especially fortunate here in Central Illinois at having a spectacular showing of color put on by Mother Nature. The reds, yellows, oranges, and golds really stand out when the grass is so green. And it's green thanks to all the rain we had during the Spring and Summer months.
So let's not wait another minute — come with me on a jaunt around the area and please enjoy the scenery!
A Magical Season So Far
It's not easy being a fan.
Fans rally around their chosen sports teams, cheering them on from near and far, unable to affect the outcome of a game, often left despondent by a win that slipped through their very fingers.
Debbie 1, Domer 0
I just know y'all have been waiting eagerly for me to update the kitchen knife dilemma.
So I'm pleased to inform you I was right!
Rainy Day Beading Redux
My last couple of posts have been on the serious side, so I thought it time to lighten up a bit.
How about I display some new beaded jewelry pieces, created during a recent day of thunderstorms?

I would have a lot more respect for this annual service if it didn't use it to ruthlessly plug the US military angle, and invite children to "Check out what each military service is up to these days,".

Free lunch for all! 'Thriving' ride to Boston
"Subsidy Ok'd for thriving bus line," read the Union Leader headline.
Why would something that is thriving need a subsidy? The Boston Express bus needs more taxpayer money because, the governor and Council were told last week, more people are riding its buses down I-93 and Route 3 to work in Boston.
So if it is so popular with riders, why not just increase the fare to actual cost levels and leave the taxpayer alone?
Right. If you charge what it really costs to operate a business and make a profit, the business might not be so "thriving."

Remember when sneaker shopping was as simple as "Ooh, Mom, I want the pink ones!"? These days the color is the last of a dozen dizzying decisions you have to make—extra support? comfy cushioning? both?!—to pinpoint a perfect pair. Luckily, cutting through the confusion can be a cinch if you determine your foot type first. Not only will jogging in a shoe that fits properly feel easier, says Megan Leahy, D.P.M., a podiatric physician in Chicago, but it will also reduce your risk for injury. To help you find the slipperlike fit that will let you run happily ever after, we tapped a slew of experts for tips. Use them to score sneaks that allow you to run faster and farther. Sky's the limit!

User input in virtual reality (VR) is a widely discussed issue. Even at the point where we can see consumer devices looming on the horizon, there is no universal agreement on how videogames and experiences in VR should be controlled. Most currently rely on gamepad input, but there are a number of companies investing in the ideal of motion-control devices. Sixense are arguably one of the leaders in this field. READ MORE

Hands-On with Project Beyond
Samsung's big reveal at the Samsung Developer Conference 2014 (SDC14) was Project Beyond, a new 360 degree video camera designed for use with the Gear VR. Unlike most of its rivals, Project Beyond films in full stereoscopic 3D, and the hands-on demonstration available on the show floor is nothing less than impressive. READ MORE
Hands-On with Interstellar Oculus Rift Experience
A new movie launch from a huge influential director. The biggest IMAX rollout the industry has ever seen. All-star cast, enormous budget and a director who claimed fame with a very modern adaptation of a well-known superhero. All this is true of Interstellar, but arguably the most interesting part of this new franchise is the virtual reality (VR) tie-in developed to promote the movie. READ MORE
Alien: Isolation – The Challenges of Officially Adapting for VR
Alien: Isolation has finally arrived and with it comes a considerable amount of critical acclaim. Heralded as the 'best' videogame experience ever made based on the famous sci-fi movie franchise, the hype was indeed worthwhile. Moreover, the attention the videogame received due to it's virtual reality (VR) demonstration has been incredibly important to the exposure of the title, and as such it's more than likely that we'll see a VR edition of the videogame at some point down the line to surpass the unofficial hack that VRFocus reported on earlier this week. It's long been said however, that simply porting existing videogames to VR doesn't work. READ MORE
Oculus Connect 2014: VR Figureheads Slip Comfortably into New Roles as Company Delivers the Next Best Thing to the Consumer Rift
Precious few companies will ever get to experience the kind of whirlwind year that Oculus VR has enjoyed in 2014. Just nine months ago the team debuted a new prototype for its Oculus Rift virtual reality (VR) head-mounted display (HMD) and now, barely two months after that prototype's relevant development kit shipped, we have another. And that's without mentioning the acquisitions, hires and other announcements which have kept the company in the headlines throughout the year, all of which was capped off with yesterday's Oculus Connect developer conference in Hollywood, California.

Hands-on: Oculus Rift Crescent Bay Prototype
Oculus VR's big announcement at Oculus Connect was the revelation of a new prototype: Crescent Bay. Aligned with Crystal Cove in that it's not a consumer version nor a development kit, Crescent Bay is a prototype design that will inevitably form the basis of the next iteration of the Oculus Rift head-mounted display (HMD) that will be made available to developers. However, this time it's more than just a visual product; Crescent Bay also includes built-in audio. READ MORE
Hands-On with Kite & Lightning's The Voice 360: Be the Coach
Kite & Lightning are a widely respected independent development studio that has established huge credibility within the virtual reality (VR) community. Their original creations such as The Station and the highly praised Senza Peso have been regularly touted as the current pinnacle of passive VR experiences. As the studio matures it was inevitable that such a reputation would lead to commercial products and high-profile licenses, but their first release, The Voice 360: Be the Coach, no one could have guessed.

Hands-On with Samsung's Gear VR
Samsung today unveiled the much rumoured Gear VR head-mounted display (HMD), a partnership with Oculus VR that will see virtual reality (VR) brought to mobile technology in a more impressive fashion than any other vendor has yet presented. Oculus VR's Palmer Luckey has famously stated that 'the enemy of VR is bad VR,' and it's clear that the partnership has resulted in a device that manages to leap that difficult hurdle. READ MORE
Hands-On with Crytek's VR Tech Demo
Stunning. Absolutely stunning. There is an argument that even the most gorgeous technical demonstration is pointless if it's being delivered on hardware that even the most deeply committed consumer would baulk at the idea of investing in, but in these earliest days of virtual reality (VR) it's so very hard not to care. Crytek may have been suffering from some turbulent times of late, but here in their unnamed VR tech demo, it doesn't show. READ MORE
Radial-G : Racing Revolved – Kickstarter Post-Mortem Part 2
As fans will surely know by now, virtual reality (VR) compatible sci-fi racer Radial-G sadly failed its Kickstarter campaign for funding last week. Developer Tammeka Games had hoped to raise £50,000 GBP to develop the title on PC, Mac, Linux, PlayStation 4, Android and iOS, but ended up falling short of its goals. Earlier in the week VRFocus published the first part in an extensive post-mortem from the team, examining what had gone well and the positives and negatives of its campaign. READ MORE

Wiki Headlines
18th Nov: We've switched servers and will be updating the old code over the next couple months, meaning that several things might break. Please report issues here.
main index
open/close all folders
Main Autobots
Optimus Prime
Voiced by: David Kaye / Hiroki Takahashi
"My name... is Optimus Prime, and I'm prepared to sacrifice my life to defend the Allspark."The leader of a small maintenance crew, Optimus Prime is a well-meaning young 'bot who dreams of a bigger, more heroic lifestyle. He gets his wish when his crew stumbles upon the elusive Allspark. A run-in with Megatron and his Decepticon crew causes Prime and his crew to land on Earth where they try to adapt while saving the world on a daily basis. Though Optimus gets the "hero" life he asked for, he is inexperienced. He's a nice guy who does the best he can despite some insecurity and reluctance.
Voiced by: Bumper Robinson / Daisuke Kishio
"Fastest thing on wheels, coming through!"Bumblebee is a speedy, impatient, and impulsive young Cybertronian. He thinks on his wheels and less on his head and tends to goof-up and have fun with his human friend, Sari. Despite it, he's ready for battle when the situation calls, even if he tends to rush in without thinking first.
Voiced by: Bill Fagerbakke / Kenta Miyake
"You guys got it easy. All people want me to do is break stuff. I've got a sensitive side too, you know... but breaking stuff is kinda fun."Bulkhead may be big and strong and he may enjoy smashing things around here and there, but he wants you to know he has a sensitive side, too. Ever the Gentle Giant, he is often taken for granted, thinking because of his brawny nature, he isn't all that smart. Though unsubtle, Bulkhead is an insightful 'bot with a natural gift for art.
Voiced by: Corey Burton / Tōru Ōkawa
"It's not that I don't want to remember. I have to remember - for those who can't."Ratchet suffered through the Great War millions of years back, experiences which have caused him to be grumpy 24/7. He refuses to talk about his time there (especially with an eager Optimus Prime) and suffers Vietnam-style flashbacks due primarily to two traumatic incidents of failing in his profession: accidentally wiping Arcee's memory core and having to participate in the near-death of Omega Supreme that reduced the giant to a mere spaceship. Despite his constant angry outbursts, however, Ratchet possesses a sweet side deep down.
Voiced by: Jeff Bennett / Koji Yusa
"Stillness... then strike."Prowl is a lone Ninja-Bot who doesn't play well with others, preferring to rely on only himself. Stuck with Optimus and crew, he is forced to learn how to work as part of a team. Prowl is sneaky and clever due to his occupation and spends countless hours meditating. He enjoys observing nature and the organic life that most of his kind fear. He later develops from a stoic warrior into a true hero.
Other Autobots
Voiced by: Susan Blu (G1 Arcee) / Ayahi Takagaki
"Wipe my memory core. Ratchet, the access codes in my processor are crucial to the war effort. If Megatron gets them..."Formerly a schoolteacher to young Autobots, Arcee became an intel courier during the Great War, tasked with carrying the important codes for Project: Omega, a valuable resource that the Decepticons wanted. This job came to an abrupt end when Ratchet accidentally wiped her memory during the Great War, causing her to suffer amnesia. She isn't seen until later on when Megatron and crew manage to get their hands on her and the code. Fortunately, Sari and Ratchet restore her memory afterwards.
Voiced by: David Kaye / Keiji Fujiwara
"Dinobots rule!"Grimlock is the leader of the Dinobots. He and the other Dinobots are simpleminded and aggressive creatures who started out as animatronic dinosaurs for a theme park, which Megatron upgraded with weapons in the hopes of using one of them as a new body. This plan went off the rails when they were brought to life in an accident involving the Key. They tend to get violent very fast the moment they sense hostility, and Prowl is the only one who can calm them down...usually.
Snarl and Swoop
Sentinel Prime
Voiced by: Townsend Coleman / Junichi Suwabe
"If I need a trash-can emptied or a floor mopped, I'll call on my buddy Optimus Prime. Or should I say "Maintenance Prime"?"Sentinel Prime is, plain and simple, a jerkass. He is an egotistical, boisterous bot who uses his high position to issue orders and command high respect, especially towards Optimus (despite sharing the same rank). Years back, the two and Elita-1 were best friends until an incident on a foreign organic planet, during which Elita was separated from them and assumed dead. Their relationship has been strained since.
Voiced by: Phil LaMarr / Hideo Ishikawa
"The classic Metallikato "Five Servos of Doom" attack! But have you seen this one?"Jazz is calm and collected and just plain cool. He is a graduate of the Cyber-Ninja Corps and later on, befriends fellow ninja Prowl. Jazz, like Prowl, has an interest in organic life.
Supreme Commander Ultra Magnus
Voiced by: Jeff Bennett / Banjō Ginga
"We're at war, soldier. We do what we must."Current leader of the Autobots, Ultra Magnus is a straightforward leader. He usually makes decisions that would benefit the Autobots no matter how unethical they may seem, though he has his soft spots, mainly concerning Optimus Prime, in whom he sees potential. He is tragically damaged by traitor Longarm Prime aka Shockwave, and according to the Allspark Almanac,
Voiced by: "Weird Al" Yankovic / Mitsuo Iwata
"Did someone say hero? I am Wreck-Gar! I am a hero!"Wreck-Gar means well, he really does. When he first arrives, he has no idea who he is and what his purpose in life is. He spends the entire episode switching between hero and villain in an effort to find what his life goal is, though in a somewhat unintentional manner. Wreck-Gar literally does whatever he is told � good or bad � with hilarious results. He later becomes an Autobot and tries his darnedest to be the hero he would like to be. His head may not be in the right place, but his spark is.
Omega Supreme
Voiced by: Kevin Michael Richardson (season two), Phil LaMarr (season three) / Tessho Genda
"I AM... OMEGA SUPREME."The current ship of Optimus Prime's crew, Omega Supreme was part of a huge project against the Decepticons during the Great War. He nearly lost his spark during the Final Battle and ended up comatose in ship form. Ratchet is his linked partner and constantly keeps him well maintained.
Wasp / Waspinator
Voiced by: Tom Kenny / Kenji Nojima (as Wasp), Kenso Kata (as Waspinator)
"Wasp not thing, Wasp upgrade! Spider-bot Wasp friend... make Wasp powerful... make Wasp... Waspinator!"A former Autobot who worked alongside Bumblebee and Bulkhead in Autoboot Camp, Wasp is a cocky little guy who often got on the latters' nerves. After overhearing a Decepticon spy communicating with Megatron, Bumblebee accused Wasp of being said spy, leading to his imprisonment�thanks to some evidence planted by the real deal. Wasp eventually escapes (again with the help of the real spy) but he's not the bot he used to be. One thing is clear: He will get his revenge on Bumblebee!
Voiced by: John Moschitta (another G1 reprisal) / Takahiro Sakurai
"I'llwarnthemevenifIhavetorunhalfwayacrossthegalaxytoCybertrontodoit!"Blurr is a member of the Autobot Elite Guard�specifically, a spy tasked with watching over Optimus and crew. With his lightning-fast speed (and speech), no one can keep him down ...except Shockwave.
Jetfire and Jetstorm
Jetfire voiced by: Tom Kenny / Kappei Yamaguchi
Jetstorm voiced by: Phil LaMarr / Wataru Takagi
"Is time to... double up!"Twin brothers (if you're wondering how that works for robots, they come from a single spark that split in two) who became the first official flying Autobots after a risky experiment. They are lively and work together.
Voiced by: George Takei / Kinryū Arimoto
"You must not sacrifice a piece of the future to bring back the past."Prowl's former master, Master Yoketron was the head of the Cyber-Ninja Corps. He trained a then-punkish Prowl in the ways of the ninja, humbling him in the process. He planned to make Prowl his successor after his pupil mastered the Processer-over-Matter technique, but he was brutally murdered by Lockdown while Prowl was on an optics quest.
Voiced by: David Kaye / Atsushi Imaruoka
"Any Autobot who won't fight Decepticons is no better than a 'Con himself. We're at war."An Elite Guard member who answered to Yoketron during the Great War. The loss of his master hit him hard, and he's had trouble finding an outlet for his anger since the end of the War. He's even been known to rough up prisoners when he's in a bad enough mood. He does manage to have a healthy relationship with Flareup, thanks to their mutual love of Stuff Blowing Up.
AfterburnIf your first thought was "Who?", this guy only appeared in the UK comics.
Team Athenia
Rodimus Prime
Voiced by: Judd Nelson / Hiroya Ishimaru
"You'll have to get past me first, Decepticreeps!"Hot Rod, later Rodimus, earned the attention of the higher-ups before he even finished boot camp, and he was accepted into Autobot Academy long before any of his campmates. Everyone seems to agree he's destined for big things... if he survives his first encounter with the Decepticons, that is.
Hot Shot
Voiced by: Bill Fagerbakke /
"Is it hot in here, or is it just me?"Team Athenia's own Bumblebee, Hot Shot's speed and recklessness lead to him spending more time in the medbay than any other member, much to Red Alert's exasperation. Why Rodimus thinks he has command potential, she can't imagine.
Might over microchips.Smaller than Bumblebee, stronger than Bulkhead. Do not cross.
Red Alert
"I'm gonna have to amputate. Don't worry, Cybertron Service will issue a replacement leg within six to eight solar cycles."R.A is less of a Combat Medic than Ratchet, but she lived through the height of the Great War and created a cure for Gold Plastic Syndrome along the way. Her teammates appreciate her dedication, although her bedside manner leaves something to be desired.
Voiced by: Corey Burton /
"Hit me with everything you got, sir!"Ironhide was protoformed in a rural prefecture on one of Cybertron's moons, and he was in the same boot camp squad as Bumblebee, Bulkhead, "Longarm" and Wasp. His pranks can get a little crude, but he's generally a decent "country" bot.
Main Decepticons
Voiced by: Corey Burton / Norio Wakamoto
"With the power of the Allspark, I will reclaim Cybertron for all Decepticon-kind - but not before I lay waste to the miserable world that held me captive for so long."Megatron likes to think of himself as a freedom fighter, leading his troops to reclaim their home from the Autobots who exiled them after the Great War. This claim is somewhat undermined by his complete lack of concern for anyone not useful to him and his willingness to manhandle his own soldiers to remind them who's in charge... or to field-test weapons of mass destruction on defenceless human cities.In a surprising turn from the regular "Optimus Prime vs. Megatron" setup of most Transformers series, here Megatron regards Optimus as a minor nuisance, in fact, up until the last episode he never even calls him by name.
Voiced by: Tom Kenny / Jin Yamanoi
"YES! Right then, solemn face, solemn face..."Starscream is an actual threat to the Autobots this time around, capable of flooring even Ultra Magnus with a close enough shot, but he has about as much chance of winning a fair fight with Megatron as his G1 self. Of course, being Starscream, a fair fight is generally the last thing on his mind.
Voiced by: David KayeA powerful Decepticon and former gladiator, Lugnut is extremely and utterly devoted to Megatron. During the Grand Finale, he becomes the imprint for Megatron's Omega Sentinel clones, transforming them into a trio of Lugnut Supremes.
Lugnut: Stasis lock itself could not deter me from your grand and glorious plan, o wise and noble Megatron!
Megatron: Just... go.
Voiced by: Bumper Robinson / Yuichi Nagashima
(Hothead): AUTOBOTS! I WILL CRUSH THEM INTO IRON FILINGS!
(Icy): But my orders are to retrieve the Constructicons...
(Random): Oooh, but I like iron filings! Especially sprinkled on top of servo salad!At first glance, Blitzwing seems to be a stoic, no-nonsense Decepticon. However, he is a master Mood-Swinger, able to change from stoic to anger to insanity depending on his mood.
Voiced by: Cree Summer / Ryoka Yuzuki
"It'll be a long time before I ever trust another Autobot. Especially you, Optimus."Formerly Elita-1 - Optimus and Sentinel's best friend - Blackarachnia joined up with the Decepticons to find a cure for her cursed techno-organic form. Though she uses her spider abilities to her advantage, she can't stand her hideous appearance and is desperate for a cure. She tends to use her beauty to seduce those around her to get what she wants - just... don't look under the helmet. She's currently stuck in an unknown jungle with Waspinator.
Shockwave/Longarm Prime
Voiced by: Corey Burton / Nobuyuki Hiyama
"Rise, Shockwave: my most loyal servant!"Shockwave is a Decepticon spy taking on the form of Autobot Longarm Prime. When rumors of a spy were floating around Autoboot camp, Longarm secretly plotted for Wasp to take the fall, succeeding admirably. He later becomes leader of Cybertronian Intelligence and uses his position to spy for the Decepticons. He gloatingly reveals himself to Bumblebee in the season two finale, only for Megatron's space-bridge plan to fail, leaving him terrified of discovery. Shockwave eventually attacks and severely damages Ultra Magnus, stealing his hammer in the process.
Other Decepticons
Voiced by: Jeff Bennett / Nobuo Tobita
"I am Soundwave. I am Decepticon. The revolution begins now."Soundwave was another of Megatron's attempts to regain a body during his tenure as a talking head. He presented the plans to Isaac as a walking music player he could give Sari for her birthday, anticipating that Sari would use the Key on it and programming Soundwave to upgrade into a specific form. What he didn't expect was that Soundwave would become sentient, although he was only too willing to take up the Decepticon emblem.
Scrapper and Mixmaster
Voiced by: Jeff Bennett (Mixmaster) and Tom Kenny (Scrapper) /
Mix: Who puts the "crude" in "crude oil"?
Scrap: Mixmaster and Scrapper, that's who!Two 'bots brought to life by Allspark fragments, Mixmaster and Scrapper (known as the Constructicons) want two things: hot cars and oil. Though Bulkhead tries his best to befriend them, their minds drift right back into trouble just searching for those two things. They later join the Decepticon side by building Megatron a space bridge in exchange for oil. They're later caught in a massive explosion alongside their boss, Dirt Boss, but only Scrapper is currently shown to be alive. The whereabouts of the other two are unknown. During their separation, Scrapper ended up on Dinobot Island, befriended Snarl, and briefly joined the "Subtitute Autobots", with poor effects.
Dirt Boss
Voiced by: John Mariano
"What're you cogs lookin' at? You wanna piece 'a me? Try it and you'll be goin' to the scrapyard in a crankin' box!"Mixmaster and Scrapper's self-appointed boss, also a product of an Allspark fragment (combined with a damaged Headmaster unit and a forklift). He is a no-nonsense, strict and nasty piece of work who keeps the Constructicons busy.
His first words
Lockdown (technically unaffiliated)
Voiced by: Lance Henriksen
"I know you... EMP generator, right? I'm not good with names and faces, but I never forget a trophy."A neutral bounty hunter, Lockdown caters to whoever pays him the most (usually the Decepitcons). He is a mish-mash of different mods and body-parts and a hoarder of trophies from various 'bots he has stripped and robbed over the years. He was also a former student of Yoketron before he realized he didn't like all that spiritual crud. As his first act as a bounty hunter, Lockdown killed him and took the protoforms Yoketron was tasked to guard. He has a history with Ratchet and a rivalry with Prowl, in whom he sees a Worthy Opponent and kindred spirit.
Swindle (technically a Decepticon)
Voiced by: Fred Willard
"Hmmm, maybe I should help them - or maybe I should just help myself!"The Decepticon equivalent of a used car salesman. Swindle is a charming individual who sells weaponry and whatever business he can get his hands on - as long as he can make a profit, it doesn't matter! Voiced, fittingly enough, by the CEO of Buy & Large.
Starscream Clones
Voiced by: Tom Kenny (all males), Tara Strong (Slipstream)
"Ah, never before have I seen a more impressive group of lethal fighting machines... and pretty good-looking if I do say so myself."Stolen protoforms + Starscream personality mod suits + Allspark slivers from the chunk keeping the real Starscream online = trouble (and hilarity). While they have the same weapons and speed as the original, they each represent an exaggerated (er, even more so) aspect of his personality, which makes some of them a lot less effective than they could be. Two of them show up in A Fistful of Energon, but are revealed to be walking bombs. Starscream builds five more during the season two finale for his assault on Megatron.The second Almanac adds another two - Dirge (toy-only) and Thrust (who never showed up at all), created by Swindle to act as bodyguards. All in all, not one of his best ideas. You want them? He can let them go cheap!
Team Chaar
Voiced By: Tara Strong
"Oooh, the Autobot Elite Guard. This should be fun."A big, hulking fembot who is just as loyal to Megatron as Lugnut is. Makes sense, too - they're married.
Are you going to eat that?A Decepticon who can suck in Autobots with his tentacles and either "eat them" or spit them out, covered in explosive slime. He's kind of horrible.
Voiced By: Bumper Robinson
"Lights out."An extremely large Decepticon - in fact, until the advent of Project: Omega, he was the single largest Cybertronian ever protoformed. He fought during the Great War and was essentially a one-man army.
Oil Slick
Voiced By: Phil LaMarrAn expert chemist, Oil Slick invented the deadly weapon "cosmic rust", is a master of vehicle-to-vehicle combat and claims to have trained in Circuit-Su with an Autobot motorcycle, although he's not giving out any details.
Rodimus Prime: You'll have to get past me first, Decepticreeps!
Oil Slick: You say that like it's a difficult thing, Autobot.
Compassion is the Autobots' downfall.The stoic Cyclonus appeared in the skies of New Kaon in a storm of light and tachyons some time after the Great War ended, and has remained a complete mystery ever since. He has sworn loyalty to Megatron, but even that seems somehow abstract - and just who is this "Galvatron" he keeps talking about?
Sari Sumdac
"Listen up, oil brain! My family needs your help, and you are going to help, get me?"The young daughter of Issac Sumdac, Sari is what anyone her age is; precocious and spunky. She is immediately drawn to the Autobots (especially Bumblebee) and serves as their representative and educator of Planet Earth. When she comes in contact with the Allspark, Sari's access key turned into a literal key that can fix damaged Autobots and allow her to manipulate nearly any type of machinery. We later find out why the Allspark chose her: Sari is really a Cybertronian protoform turned half-human, half-robot after Issac accidentally input his DNA into said protoform. Naturally, she doesn't take this well at first. Sari then gets a system upgrade that ages her up to a sixteen-year-old to make her more powerful. She continuously uses her skills in battle and later helps out during the final battle.
Professor Isaac Sumdac
Voiced by: Tom Kenny /When they found out, they weren't pleased. Megatron later kidnapped Isaac to work on his space bridge, leaving Sari to take over Sumdac Systems briefly before Porter C. Powell kicked her out. He is eventually freed - just in time for Sari to learn the truth about herself.He is the classic absent-minded professor, forgetting to eat in order to get his robotics in tune. He is well-meaning despite it and remains a loving father to Sari.
Captain Carmine Fanzone
Voiced by: Jeff Bennett
"A technophobe is someone who fears technology." *smashes a phone* "Does ''this''' look like fear to you?!"The loud captain of the Detroit Police (and master of yelling into megaphones), Fanzone dislike one thing and one thing only: machines. This hits him over the head when Detroit's heroes turns out to be giant robots. Still, for the sake of peace, he tries and learns to live with it, relying on them when he has to. Irony of irony, Fanzone is also the first person to visit Cybertron and most of the residences there fear him because of his Organic stature.
Prometheus Black/Meltdown
Voiced by: Peter Stormare / Fumihiko Tachiki
"Are you ready to feel the burn?"An expert biologist, Prometheus Black used his talents to manufacture "biochemical makeovers", but lost his funding when a PR stunt involving Bumblebee and Colossus Rhodes went badly wrong. Angry that he has to compete with the likes of Sumdac and his machinery (which he hates), Prometheus vows vengeance. He gets it when he's accidentally turned into essentially walking acid. He's one of the few who can melt Cybertronians without even trying, making him a deadly foe.
Porter C. Powell
Voiced by: Bumper Robinson
"Oh, I don't think I'm in charge, young lady: I know it."A shrewd business man who uses every dirty trick in the book to gain power and money. He works in Sumdac Systems, but briefly takes over it when Isaac "mysteriously disappears".
Henry Masterson/Headmaster
Voiced by: Alexander Polinsky
"Get ready for T.O.T.: Total Ownage Time!"A young scientist who has created a robotic head that can take over any other living robots' body (he's kind of a control freak that way), controlling them under his will. Headmaster speaks in computer leet speak (retro leet speak, considering this is the 22nd century).
A. A. Archer/Angry Archer
Voiced By: Jeff Bennett
"An Autobot! Verily the arrows of outrageous misfortune seek to pierce me to the quick - exeunt!"A Robin Hood-ish figure who steals from the rich and gives to the poor, namely himself. The Angry Archer also has a habit of speaking in quasi-Shakespearean diction.
Mayor Edsel
.....A silent mayor who lets his secretary do all the talking.
Penny Princess, Ph.D./Professor Princess
Voiced By: Kath Soucie
"Explosions aren't nice... EXCEPT WHEN THEY LOOK LIKE BEAUTFIUL RAINBOWS!"A bratty "princess" whose goal in life is to destroy anything "boyish" so the world can be a happier, pinker place.
The Witwicky FamilyA family of in-jokes, the Witwickys are generally somewhere in the background, although they briefly join the main plot in "Garbage In, Garbage Out", during which Carly is giving birth and is unlucky enough to be picked up by Ratchet in ambulance mode. Spike and/or Carly work for Isaac, since Daniel is one of the few kids at Sari's birthday party.
Nino Sexton/Nanosec
Voiced by: Brian Posehn
"I ain't nobody's errand boy... unless the price is right."Nino was once a common thief until he was given a speed suit secretly by Megatron, causing him to create wanton havoc until the suit aged him up. He is eventually restored to his youth by Slo-Mo, whom he falls for.
"I'm the leader of this syndicate. The head honcho, the big cheese, see?"Speaking in 1930s moxie speak, Slo-Mo is a woman with the ability to slow down time, thanks to a watch embedded with an Allspark fragment. She rounds up all the other human villains and forms the S.U.V (Society of Ultimate Villainy). She also has a thing for Nanosec.

Maino - Bring It Back DJ
Artist: Maino
Producer: Kwame
Album: The Day After Tomorrow
Avg Rating: 2.8 ( 23 votes )
As Maino's so fond of saying, the man does hustle hard, and the heavily inked New York emcee is back to prove he's got more than just Tiger Woods' sex addiction on his mind with the release of his new buzz single Bring It Back DJ. Although no actual DJ appears on the cut (really?), the track does pay sonic homage to hip-hop's turntable backed roots, with one of the Booth's favorite boardsmiths Kwame crafting a bouncing, synth heavy beat, the perfect backdrop for Maino's straight ahead, high-caliber lines: "I ain't no actor / black bandana / can't get rid of me / baby I'm cancer." So how about it Booth? Is Maino "ill" like cancer in the good sense or the bad sense on this cut? Bring It Back DJ will appear on Maino's upcoming album The Day After Tomorrow, which is due to drop later this year and, I assume, bears no relation to the enjoyably terrible disaster movie of the same name.

The Virgin, her head turned to the left, is seated on a polychrome marble throne with an arched top before which hangs a cloth of honor. A white veil covers her forehead, and an elaborately patterned gold brocade cloak with a green lining falls over her shoulders and sweeps across her lap. She delicately steadies the infant Christ, who is turned toward the right, his legs straddling her lap and his arms outstretched. In front of the throne is a broken marble dais on which, to the right, are two small pears and a fly. The pears may be symbols of the Virgin and Christ or of the Fall of Man. The fly has been explained by André Pigler (1964) as a device to protect the picture from flyspecks rather than as a symbol of evil or sin, but it may also be a symbol of Satan (Lightbown 2004). The elaborately tooled gold background must originally have terminated in a pointed arch but has been cut. The date was originally inscribed as 1473 and then changed by Crivelli to 1472, possibly due to confusion as to which regional calendar pertained; it seems likely that Crivelli completed the altarpiece after December 25, 1472, and before March 25, 1473.The composition has received much comment (see especially Lightbown 2004). Motifs such as the prominently cracked marble at the right reflect Crivelli's training in Padua. The action of the Child, usually interpreted as a visual link to the lateral figure of a saint, may have been directed at a flying bird, the symbol of Christ's Passion. The composition is intimately tied to that of the central panel of the Montefiore Altarpiece (Musées Royaux des Beaux-Arts, Brussels), which is not dated but would seem logically to precede the MMA picture. It also provides the best visual evidence for mentally reconstructing the arched top of the MMA work.The picture was correctly recognized by Bernard Berenson (1895) as the center panel of a polyptych, but it was not until 1933 that Lionello Venturi identified three of the lateral panels, a Saint Dominic and a Saint George in the Metropolitan Museum (05.41.1,2) and a Saint James now in the Brooklyn Museum (78.151.10). Harry B. Wehle (1940) further noted that the three panels of saints were in the collections of Cardinal Fesch and the Reverend Davenport Bromley, along with a fourth panel showing Saint Nicholas; this panel was subsequently identified by Henry Sayles Francis (1952) with a picture in the Cleveland Museum of Art (1952.111). There can be no doubt that the five panels belong to the same altarpiece. Beyond their agreement in style and dimensions, all five are listed in the Fesch catalogue, and the modern tooling on the background of the Madonna and Child matches exactly that on the filled-out spandrels of the companion pictures.Zampetti further suggested that a Pietà in the John G. Johnson Collection, Philadelphia Museum of Art, formed the central element of a second tier of panels and identified five small panels that show, respectively, Christ Blessing (Philbrook Art Center, Tulsa), Saint Peter (Yale University Art Gallery, New Haven), Saints John the Evangelist and Bartholomew (Castello Sforzesco, Milan), and Saint Andrew (Proehl collection, Amsterdam) as from the predella. Although Zampetti's reconstruction has been accepted by a number of critics, neither the Pietà nor the set of predella panels is likely to have belonged to the altarpiece (see Lightbown 2004). The five ex-Fesch panels have a combined width of 69 inches, while the probable number of predella panels of the size of those under consideration (the predella would logically have included Christ, the apostles minus Saint James, who appears above, and possibly another figure) would measure over 118 inches. The Pietà must originally have had a plain gold ground—the tooled hanging behind Christ is a later addition—whereas the gold ground of the five main panels is elaborately tooled. Moreover, its figures are lit from the right rather than the left, as they are in the polyptych. Such disparity of treatment is not encountered in other altarpieces by Crivelli. The arrangement of the panels has been disputed. Berenson (1957) placed Saints Nicholas and Dominic at the two extremities, and Saints James and George flanking the Virgin; Lightbown (2004) placed the Saint Dominic to the Virgin's left, and also took up the suggestion of Anna Bovero (1975) that the altarpiece may come from the church of San Domenico in Macerata. Amico Ricci (Memorie storiche delle arti, Macerata, 1834, p. 214) describes one altarpiece by Crivelli in that church as showing a Madonna and Child with two Saints ("Madonna in mezzo a due Santi"), which is unlikely to be the Fesch altarpiece. However, it emerges that in 1827–28, five panels by Crivelli were acquired by Ignazio Cantalamessa of Ancona and subsequently sold in Rome; these could be the Fesch altarpiece, which must have come from a Dominican foundation.[2011; adapted from Christiansen 1984]

Dear Reader,
Welcome to the new "Guatemala Trials" channel of IJMonitor.org.
Please visit for regular updates on significant prosecutions of international crimes taking place in Guatemala, building on the monitoring of the trial in Guatemala of Efrain Rios Montt and Mauricio Rodriguez Sanchez that we launched in early 2013.
The new effort will include reporting on the trial of Pedro Garcia Arredondo, a former senior police officer. He is currently charged crimes against humanity in connection with the storming of the Spanish embassy in Guatemala City in 1980, which left 37 people dead. His trial opened on October 1.
We also be following the Sepur Zarco case, which involves charges against two former army officers, Col. Esteelmer Francisco Reyes Girón and Heriberto Valdez Asij, who are accused of crimes against humanity at the … Continue Reading

Damaging Spending
Ivanpah: Time to End the Subsidies
Ivanpah in California is the world's largest solar project. The project is owned by Google and NRG Energy, and is heavily subsidized by taxpayers. Ivanpah originally received a $1.6 billion loan from the Department of Energy (DOE) in 2011. Now the company is asking for another government subsidy to pay off its original loan.
Make America Safer: Shut Down the Department of Homeland Security
Congress created the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) in 2002 by combining 22 agencies that are responsible for a vast array of activities. President George W. Bush promised that the new department would "improve efficiency without growing government" and would cut out "duplicative and redundant activities that drain critical homeland security resources."
Department of Homeland Security: Who Needs It?
The Secret Service is scandal prone. It spends excessively on foreign presidential trips, and it has agents who get in trouble with prostitutes and
The Federal Government and American Indians
As research for this essay on the Bureau of Indian Affairs, I visited the Smithsonian National Museum of the American Indian (NMAI). I found virtually no information useful for my project.
The Naked Truth about TSA Spending
Governments tend to spend money on low-value activities because they do not have market signals or customer feedback to guide them. In this report, I examined the problem with respect to the Transportation Security Administration. As one example, TSA's SPOT program for finding terrorists spends more than $200 million a year with few if any benefits.
Arkansas' Budget-Busting Medicaid Expansion
Back in February, I highlighted the fight to reauthorize Medicaid expansion under ObamaCare in Arkansas. The states' plan not only expanded Medicaid; it did so in a more expensive way. Supporters claimed that the concerns were hogwash. Costs would be the same or lower because Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) required "budget neutrality" for the expansion. A new report from the Government Accountability Office (GAO) confirms that AR's expansion is a budget-buster.
The Entitlement Spending Tsunami
The Congressional Budget Office today released its periodic update to the federal government's spending and revenue projections. This report, known in Washington, D.C. circles as the "baseline," provides a glimpse into the federal government's addiction to spending. Supporters of uncontrolled spending trumpet that the federal deficit has been cut in half over the last several years, but the real story is lurking below the surface. Washington's spending addiction is creating an entitlement spending tsunami.
Mandatory Spending Continues to Drive the Budget
This morning, the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) released its updated Budget and Economic Outlook report, known in Washington, D.C. parlance as the "baseline." This report details CBO's projections on federal spending and revenue for this year and into the future.
Subsidies Make Businesses Weaker
The technical arguments against the Export-Import Bank are provided in this excellent summary by Veronique de Rugy. However, one argument against Ex-Im and other business subsidies is not stressed enough in policy debates: subsidies weaken the businesses that receive them.
Subsidies for the Seacoast
A June 24 article in the Washington Post looked at sea level rise in North Carolina. Unfortunately, the article followed a common template of portraying a battle of science vs. conservative politics and environmentalism vs. capitalism. But as I noted here about water and drought in the West, liberals and libertarians can agree on the benefits of cutting anti-environmental subsidies.

Friday Practice Video
Morgan starting at WILL over Hawthorne.
CNN: Is Notre Dame 'relevant'? And, is Lou nuts?
So there's this, over on CNN.com -- that Notre Dame is still relevant to college football.
There's a quote in there by Lou Holtz: ""For anybody to say that Notre Dame can't win again is the most ridiculous, asinine comment I've ever heard, because they've got more going for them now than they've ever had before in the history of the school."
Open for discussion...? (I guess, not to ridicule Lou specifically, that's been beaten to death. Nor why a "journalist" would use Lou as his sole support for an article. But the substance of the article -- can Notre Dame be relevant again?)
3&O- Bacon's Input
I was listening to the podcast today with Bacon and I heard him say something I thought was interesting/sad and I wondered what you guys thought he should have done and how that conflicts with his role as a journalist.
He recounts a story about the Purdue game and how RR was talking with his family on what he should say at the press conference. Bacon is on the side thinking to himself that it is a bad idea to bring up. RR brings it up and it turns into another media fiasco.
My thought was Bacon is sitting right there and could have saved him from himself in this situation. Has anyone heard Bacon talk if he was conflicted by this? Obviously spending all this time together RR and Bacon form some sort of relationship and it seems like Bacon likes RR. It seems like he could have helped RR thru the Michigan mine field with some tidbits without changing his objectivity, but didn't appear to do so.
Do you think he could steer RR a little bit without effecting his objectivity or does he need to stand mute no matter what?

MGoDinners and MGoAlcohol Saturday Night
Coming into Ann Arbor for the night.
Any useful suggestions for dinner? I checked and tried to reserve at Zingerman's Roadhouse, but it was booked until 9pm.
Alcohol? Alcohol.
Any suggestions for a great time Saturday night for those not familiar with Ann Arbor's nightlife?
And for bonus points: Suggestions on taxi service?
Thanks for planning my night out ahead of time. Hopefully see some of you MGoBloggers out there!
Read the Book(3 and Out)
Am I missing a Meta post for this? If so, delete and I will move it. Plus I want to dicuss some of the spoiler type hot-points of the story. Where can we do that with the MGoCommunity?
I am writing because I just finished reading the comments to Brian's post today regarding the excerpt. The folks around here who are questioning RR's attitude from that excerpt need to actually pick the book up and read it cover to cover. The folks who think that RR is an angel and just a poor guy screwed from the start; pick up the book and read it cover to cover.
I put it down last night at 1am with many, many more questions than when I started but the most pressing question I have is - Could there be a counter-argument to this books' perspective? If so, who would write it? (not that it is really arguing anything) But as an objective reader I thought that this is just one man's story.
Those of you who have read it, what do you think? As an MGoBlogger I already knew 80% of the material. The other 20% was shocking. THANKS FOR YOUR HARD WORK BRIAN....and it is clear from that hard work over the last 3 years, Bacon respects you cause there is a clear MGoBlog undertone.

I have to point this out... I am sorry in advanced.
"A chassis which is faster than its engine", Oh thank you BMW Marketing corp. If the chassis is faster than the engine, put a faster engine inside...
Yes yes yes, this is about fast handling not fast engines. The spark about having something that is //m should be that it out perform its siblings in the family line up.
That said, when you pull up to a light with a 135i and a //m coupe you want to PULL away from the 135, like the M3 does with the 335i. You don't really want to struggle with a sibling car because this will ultimately make your car feel less special.
Yes you can smoke them in a corner, or on the brakes (as I often do in my POS car on the highways) but you want to be able to dominate in all areas...
Realistically though... 335hp or 345hp... or 350hp... There is really no difference between these figures. 335 and 380 (maybe you will feel a little difference). The closer this car reaches to 400hp though you will most likely be fighting with a lot of rear-traction issues making that yaw control reel you poorly skilled arse in all the time.
... all that said... I still want my moonroof. Nice interior. Great exterior. Cheap looking dials... let's see some Canadian prices. Maybe worth it to by a m3 and tell everyone to smoke these tail pipes.

Park City Dental opens new office
Dr. Jason M. Grinter has announced the opening of Park City Dental, a new dental office in the 555 N. Court St. building, occupied by the Winnebago County Health Department and other tenants in Rockford.
Dr. Grinter has been an active part of the dental community in Rockford and Winnebago County since 2005 as former dental director for Milestone Dental Clinic. Milestone is a dental clinic specializing in the care of patients with special needs. Dr. Grinter is also on staff at SwedishAmerican Hospital, where he has provided dental care to pediatric and special needs adults who need their dental work performed in the operating room.
This past school year, Dr. Grinter's Onsite Dental teamed up with Rockford Public Schools and the Winnebago County Health Department to bring dental care closer to the students in six schools: McIntosh Elementary, Barbour Language Academy, Kishwaukee Elementary, Hillman Elementary, Rockford Environmental Science Academy, Riverdahl Elementary, and this coming school year, he was asked to provide services for Jefferson High School.
"Working with the Rockford schools was an extremely rewarding experience, and we had a great turnout this year," Dr. Grinter said. "I'm looking forward to being able to offer my students an additional location to get their dental care treated so they can stay out of pain and stay in school."
Dr. Grinter incorporated Onsite Dental in 2010 to offer more comprehensive-based care to the students in the schools he travels to with his team. Onsite Dental now provides care to more than 50 schools in five counties. Each school has the opportunity to plan a dental clinic day for follow-up care. Dr. Grinter treats the patients in the school or on the Ronald McDonald Caremobile through a collaboration with Rockford Health Systems. Now, students and families will have a permanent dental home at Park City Dental for continual care, even beyond the schools.
Park City Dental is planning to open Aug. 1. It will be a state-of-the-art office with four treatment rooms, each with a large color TV for patients to enjoy educational programming while being treated. The office will be completely digital and conveniently located inside the Winnebago County Health Department.

Does closing a
java.sql.Connection also close all the statements, prepared statements, etc. obtained from that connection? Or is there going to be memory leak if I close the connection but leave the statements, etc. unclosed?
You should not depend on it.
The spec reads as follows:
The best practice is to close ALL ResultSets, Statements, and Connections in a finally block, each enclosed in their own try/catch, in reverse order of acquisition.
