Transformers: Prime is an American computer-animated television series based on the Transformers toy franchise by Hasbro. The series aired on Hub Network from November 29, 2010 to July 26, 2013. The Transformers: Prime TV movie, Predacons Rising, premiered on October 4, 2013.[1]
The first season became available for instant streaming through Netflix on April 5, 2012. The second season became available on December 7, 2012. The third season also became available on 2013.
The series has been well-received and has won multiple Daytime Emmy Awards. Transformers: Prime is rated TV-Y7-FV. Many references to other Transformers continuities have appeared in the series.
The initial designs of the characters were first shown off at Botcon 2010 at its panel, and later at San Diego Comic Con 2010. Hasbro created a 400-page Transformers production bible titled the "Binder of Revelation", which the production team used as a reference for Prime.[2] Whereas the movies were about a boy and his car, the dynamic between the kids and the robots on Prime was meant to be more like The Iron Giant.[3] Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci, the screenwriters of the first two live-action films, developed the series and were executive producers of the series.
Digitalscape Company Limited, a Japanese company famous for their work on titles such as Soulcalibur III, Ninja Gaiden, and Dead or Alive Paradise, developed the CGI Animation of Transformers: Prime.[4] Although Digitalscape ran a job fair looking for a talent to work on the production,[4] Polygon Pictures ultimately won. Jose Lopez, character designer, described the animation of the series as "groundbreaking mix of 2D animation and CGI." A show on the level of Transformers: Prime would take about two years to produce, but the animators only had ten months, so five episodes were animated at a time (hence the monthly gaps during a season).
Film composer Brian Tyler serves as the music composer for Transformers: Prime. Matthew Margeson is the music arranger for the series, first arranging the fifteen episodes of the series. The music features a large live orchestra, a rarity in contemporary television scores. The official soundtrack of Transformers: Prime was released on iTunes on March 6, 2012, and on CD on March 13, 2012. An updated theme song with the Beast Hunters theme applied was introduced in the episode "Project Predacon".
Set in the timeframe after the novels and video games preceding the television series (also known as the Aligned Continuity), Prime began with a five-part mini-series titled "Darkness Rising", which served to introduce the main characters and provide a back story on the Transformers and their war.
Season 1[edit]
The series began with a five-part story called "Darkness Rising". In Jasper, Nevada, three young humans - Jack Darby, Miko Nakadai, and Rafael Esquivel - are accidentally caught in the crossfire in a fight between enormous robots that transform into vehicles. They are taken to the base of the Autobots, where their leader Optimus Prime explains he and his team (consisting of Ratchet, Bulkhead, Arcee, and Bumblebee) are autonomous alien robots from the planet Cybertron. The Autobots once had a devastating war against the tyrannical Megatron and his army, the Decepticons, and the war made Cybertron uninhabitable. Megatron returns from a three-year-long exile in deep space with a sample of Dark Energon, which can revive dead Transformers as mindless zombies called "Terrorcons", and he sets out to conquer Earth with a Terrorcon army brought over from Cybertron through a Space Bridge. The Autobots foil his plan by destroying the Decepticon's Space Bridge, and as Megatron is caught in the explosion he is presumed dead. Following Megatron's supposed death, Starscream assumes leadership of the Decepticons. However, Megatron is found barely alive in the wreckage of the Space Bridge, and returns to power after a long period in stasis. Over the season, Starscream finds his life falling apart almost entirely due to his treachery with Megatron, and eventually becomes a rogue. The Autobots adjust to living with their new human allies, and Arcee deals with demons from her past regarding her fallen comrades. At the end of the season, the Autobots form an uneasy alliance with Megatron when Earth is threatened by the ancient and destructive being Unicron, who resides at the center of the Earth. Optimus Prime uses the power stored within the Matrix of Leadership to send Unicron back into hibernation, but the process erases Optimus's memory, which reverts to his original pre-war identity Orion Pax.
Season 2[edit]
Megatron recruits Orion Pax, who has no memory of the Autobot-Decepticon war, into the Decepticons by lying about the Autobots being evil. Jack and Arcee travel to Cybertron to find the legendary super-computer Vector Sigma, and the Autobots successfully restore Optimus's memories with the information stored inside it. With the departure of Starscream and Airachnid, and the murder of Breakdown, the Decepticons suffer a prolonged period of infighting as Megatron struggles to keep his troops in line. Having been convinced by the events of the first season finale that Megatron is beyond hope of redemption, Optimus has resolved to kill Megatron at any cost, a choice he still struggles with in the season. The main theme for the majority of the second season is the discovery of ancient relics and weaponry from Cybertron buried on Earth, with the Transformers fighting over each new discovery. Among the relics hidden on Earth are the four Omega Keys, which activate the Omega Lock, an ancient machine capable of making Cybertron habitable again. The Decepticons acquire all four keys when Starscream returns to Megatron's command, and plan to terraform Earth into a mechanical planet like Cybertron, which would kill all life on Earth. Optimus Prime destroys the Omega Lock to save Earth, but before its destruction the Lock creates a massive fortress in the Nevada desert, and the Decepticons destroy the Autobot base with Optimus still inside.
Season 3: Beast Hunters[edit]
Following the destruction of their base at the hands of Megatron, Team Prime is scattered across the United States, and Optimus is mortally wounded from the base's destruction. Optimus believes himself to be dying and declares that Smokescreen will be the next Prime, but before the Matrix of Leadership can be passed, Smokescreen repairs him with the Forge of Solus Prime. A reformatted, much more powerful Optimus joins the battle to destroy the Decepticons' citadel with Ultra Magnus, who has reunited the team. Darkmount falls and the Autobots acquire a new base from Agent Fowler. The Autobots suffer a series of losses when the Decepticons successfully acquire a large number of Predacon fossils, intending to clone an army to conquer humanity. However, after a devastating experiment gone wrong costs the Decepticons a majority of their forces, Megatron manipulates the Autobots to wipe out the project, leaving Predaking as the sole surviving Predacon. The Decepticons refocus their efforts to rebuild the Omega Lock aboard the Nemesis with the reluctant aid of Ratchet and his Synthetic Energon. In a final battle, the Autobots capture the warship, kill Megatron, and scatter the surviving Decepticon forces. After using the Omega Lock to revive Cybertron, the Autobots bid farewell to their human friends as they leave to rebuild their home.
Transformers Prime Beast Hunters: Predacons Rising[edit]
The series ended with the TV movie Predacons Rising, which aired on October 4, 2013. The Autobots return to Cybertron, having successfully made it habitable with the rebuilt Omega Lock. Optimus Prime and Wheeljack travel into deep space to find the AllSpark, the legendary source of all life on Cybertron, which is needed to allow the creation of new Cybertronian life. The mind of Unicron is re-awakened by Cybertron's restoration, and taking control of Megatron's corpse he flies to Cybertron, planning to destroy it once and for all. Elsewhere, Shockwave and Starscream continue to clone the fossilized remains of Predacons, creating new Predacons Darksteel and Skylynx. When Unicron returns to Cybertron and raises an army of Terrorcons from Predacon remains, the Autobots, Decepticons, and Predacons must join forces to defeat him and save their home world.[5][6] Optimus is able to seal away Unicron, but at the cost of his own life as he is forced to merge himself with Primus. Freed from Unicron's oppression, Megatron disbands the Decepticons and leaves Cybertron.
A total of 65 episodes have been produced and aired. Starting in 2012, Shout! Factory began releasing the series on DVD and Blu-ray.[7]

Rubenius decided to set up in Dubai in view of its strategic location between Europe and Asia, excellent connectivity, business-friendly environment and easy access to global project financing, critical to the company's ongoing initiatives and growth targets.
The Foreign Investment Office (Dubai FDI), the investment promotion arm of the Department of Economic Development (DED) in Dubai, assisted and guided Rubenius throughout the setting up process.
A world-leader in smart grid products, including street lighting controls and smart meter installations, Rubenius has been operating in the UAE for more than five years. Energy storage helps to optimise the benefits of renewable energy by eliminating conventional back-up systems.
Rubenius' next step is to set up a $4bn, 1 GW energy storage system, called Energy Warehouse Number 1, in México and follow it up with similar systems in Brazil, Russia, China, India, South Africa and several other emerging economies around the globe.
Operating out of its Dubai headquarters will enable Rubenius to increase efficiencies and easily reach out to strategic markets while funding its ongoing growth through sophisticated global project financing options available across various platforms in Dubai.
"Dubai's business friendly environment and incentives, such as full exemption from income and corporate taxes, high-tech facilities and infrastructure and the dynamic real estate sector offering family-oriented conveniences were also major factors that influenced our decision," said Claus Rubenius, Chairman, Rubenius.
"Rubenius bet in the UAE and Dubai has already paid well and the company expects that its location will be one of the strategic factors for its success. With the alternative and renewable energy movement gaining momentum in the country it is possible that after oil, green energy and clean water may be the next big exports of the UAE to the world. Rubenius is pleased to be part of this movement. Rubenius said.
Commenting on the pioneering energy-efficiency initiatives and growth vision of Rubenius, His Excellency Fahd Al Gergawi, CEO of Dubai FDI, said the company has made a strategic choice by reaching out to its key markets from Dubai, rated by the global investor community as the best access point into the region.
"Energy-efficient and clean technologies are fast moving up priority lists worldwide. Dubai and the UAE are leading the region in embracing and advocating smart energy choices. Rubenius choosing Dubai as the ideal platform to develop and export its capabilities means Dubai is acquiring new competencies and the capacity to bring strategic investments to other countries, while itself being a preferred investment destination."
Global management consultancy A.T.Kearney in its FDI Confidence Index for 2010 ranked Dubai as the 11th preferred FDI destination globally and the number one in the Middle East. FDI Dubai is working on diverse fronts, including policy reforms, to link with entrepreneurs and investors worldwide and showcase opportunities in Dubai.
"A strong appetite for growth, nurtured and promoted by an enabling government, unrivalled infrastructure, competitive trade practices and innovative public-private partnerships, is reinforcing Dubai's reputation as a hub of business and gateway to the fast-emerging markets in the world. FDI Dubai focuses on optimising this environment for the benefit of Dubai and those who choose to invest in the emirate Companies like Rubenius can add further positive dimensions to this promising environment by bringing significant research and development opportunities in state-of-the-art and transformational technology to Dubai," said Al Gergawi.
"Rubenius establishing their headquarters in Dubai is an outstanding success for our joint efforts with Dubai FDI to promote bilateral trade and investment. We are confident Rubenius and its growth plans will continue to create strong grounds for increased engagement between Dubai and Mexico as we move forward," commented Jose Neif Jury Fabre, Middle East business & Economic Affairs Minister at ProMexico, the trade and investment promotion agency of the government of Mexico.

The Mono Basin's backward seasons
Jan 29, 2015
As an almost rainless and snowless January comes to a close, one can't help but feeling like the seasons are backwards this year. Lee Vining got 1.7 times more precipitation during June through September than it did since October 1st. Normally precipitation during those four fall-winter months is double the summer months (for an average […]

Want to leap into your time machine and take a trip back to Mono Lake 100 years ago? If you go to this Library of Congress web page, you can do this without the probable jet lag or the awkward need for period-specific clothing that an actual time machine might provide. A few years ago, the […]

Amazon for Mono Lake exceeds last year's goal

I have been going backwards and forwards between Zara and their delivery company the for the last two weeks trying to get an item re delivered without success. Clearly the Zara contact team do not know the rules of their own delivery company DPD(who I assume is sub contracted by another company Aramex.com) DPD state that if no one is at home when they call next time they can leave the item in a safe place on their "sorry we missed you" calling card. The problem is that I can't get through to… Read Full Review

I'm the total opposite of some of the reviews on here as I've ordered a few items online and not had any problems at all. I usually only order online when it's an item that's sold out everywhere and they will email you to let you know it's in stock, so then I order it and hey presto it's delivered. I just ordered a coat on Sunday and it was delivered on Tuesday so it only took 2 days and delivery was free as the item was over £50… Read Full Review

While I am happy with the design of the clothes I feel that the "customer service" that I received online and in shop are absolutely terrible, terrifying and basically non existent. While doing a Fashion Marketing course, one of the tasks was to go in store (westfields) and ask a few questions about the different lines zara is offering and the quality of the clothes etc... Oh boy.... The girl did not know a single thing! Not about the different lines that they are offering or anything else. We… Read Full Review

I ordered a sheer blouse and a cami to go under it about a fortnight ago. The parcel arrived after 4 days, the end of the parcel taped in clear tape and when I opened it the cami was there but no blouse. I immediately emailed Zara enquiring about the missing item, all I got was we'll get back to you. No apology. Two weeks and several emails and photos of the parcel later I still have no blouse and I have been refused a refund or replacement as " they have checked with their warehouse and the… Read Full Review

I purchased some"distressed company manufactured" designed items from Zara. They didn't look like the item in the picture, after only taking it out of the box to try it on a few minutes, so I returned it on time. Two weeks later I got a call, with a representative, who questioned me if my item was in good condition when I received it, I thought since it was a distressed designed piece it looked pretty normal to me to see the sewn rips scuff conditioning , so I told her it was fine.

I ordered two items from Zara online website: a leather jacket and a floral skirt. Firstly it took longer than the 3-5 days quoted for delivery (assume this is because the items are posted from Spain?). However, I thought I'd be patient as this was my first order from the online store. I opened the box and found that one of the items (the floral skirt) had not been sent and in it's place was a pair of black trousers. Obviously I was slightly annoyed but thought 'mistakes happen' so I rang… Read Full Review

Update on situation: They have now replied to my email but only suggested that I take the item back to the store (which will put me out of pocket for transport costs).
They did say they would refund postage on the new order - which is funny because, as it is being delivered to there store, it is free!!!!
Still don't think much of their general customer service as I have had to chase them every step of the way!

I did online shopping with zara once before. It came within 5 days and products were great, so I tried it again with more orders this time. I spent about $380 for 21 items. Most of them were cheap, but one item cost about $50. The package came with 20 items in it. The item($50) was missing and one shirt with buttons was missing its button.

Exactly the same has happened to me, I ordered a sheer blouse and a cami to go under it. Received the cami but no blouse. They refuse to refund me saying all items were shipped correctly from the warehouse. I'm now £39.99 down and I'm stuck with a cami I wont wear. How can they get away with doing this to people? It's bordering on theft?!! Regardless of how many times I email them they will not refund or replace my missing top.
I'm totally disgusted.

Was a bit worried after reading some negative reviews, but really shouldn't have been. Order placed on Sunday night, communication received on Monday saying it had been shipped, and again on Thursday morning saying it was in-store awaiting collection.
In-store collection process really easy and secure - ID and signature required, goods were securely padded and packed, and as a result were in absolutely perfect condition... impressive, seeing as they were shipped from Madrid.

GRAND FORKS, N.D. -- After breaking up with her boyfriend of seven years, Ashley Giles of Fargo was not anxious to start dating again. Her best friend urged her to "get back out there, stop moping around," and filled out an online dating site profile for her.

What your recruiters are doing wrong (and 3 ways to fix it)
Instead of doing this, sell your job. Tell potential applicants what makes your company unique, talk about all the interesting and important things they will be able to do if they get the position, and highlight the potential benefits to their career.
Think of your job posting more like a graduate school admissions brochure, Finnigan said. If your employees are only going to be sticking around for three years, you need to sell them on the idea that those will be three years well spent.
2. Make your application process as user-friendly as possible.
For many prospects, the job application site and interview process is the first, best impression they will have of your company, Finnigan said.
Think about how the application is representing your company. Is it fast, easy and user friendly? Does it offer users feedback on where they are in the process and what they still have to do? Mediocre candidates will put up with an application process that's slow, frustrating and confusing, but the ones you really want to hire won't – they'll have other options elsewhere.
3. Measure your results. Use those measurements to optimize your approach.
Successful sales and marketing departments don't blindly try to sell to just anyone. They gather good leads and then target them with a tailored approach. Recruiters need to do this as well.
In a perfect world, recruiters would have access to enough data about potential hires and past hires that would give them a pretty good idea of who will be successful in the company and how to target those people. But technology that enables this is still in its early stages at most places, Finnigan said.

Ryan Gosling Arrives to Late Night With David Letterman
Ryan Gosling Looks Crazy Good For His Chat With David Letterman
Ryan Gosling made his way to The Late Show With David Letterman in NYC this afternoon looking handsome in a brown suit and Persol shades. Ryan made the pit stop at CBS studios to talk about his upcoming movie Crazy, Stupid, Love, which hits theaters later this month, and he'll stick around the Big Apple for a press junket this weekend and premiere on Tuesday. He'll be promoting yet another project when he heads to Comic-Con in San Diego next Thursday. Ryan will be at the California convention for a panel about his action movie Drive, which he presented at Cannes in May and at the LA Film Festival last month. Drive hits theaters in the Fall, as does Ryan's George Clooney-directed political drama The Ides of March. Ryan is already planning to team up with Drive's director and his friend Nicolas Winding Refn again soon, signing on to star in the auteur filmmaker's period piece Only God Forgives, and he will also reunite with his Blue Valentine director Derek Cianfrance for The Place Beyond the Pines.

VOTE: Have self-help books worked for you?
"I can do it all myself" might be the refrain some of us use when either trying to lose weight or bring about some other change in our behavior.
But then why are there so many self-help books on the shelves in bookstores?
Because when it comes down to it, we could all use a little help with something

"It could have something to do with the more tactile quality of phone photo editing apps. They're designed to streamline the editing process with results that are strikingly beautiful. It's an exciting time in terms of the sheer number of innovations being made on a regular basis in mobile photography."

Yes, the parade committee allows the lawn mowers, but refused to allow our pink plastic flamingoes in the parade. Somehow, such flamingoes as part of the Professor Harold Hill Memorial All-Kazoo Orchestra and Marching Polka Band was determined to frighten children.
Well, I should say!

A Classic, But a Note on Fit:,
By If your considering buying the Wayfarer by Ray-Ban, you already know it as a cultural staple, worn by everyone from Dylan to The Blues Brothers. But, as cool as the shades are, be careful when it comes to fit. The "New" Wayfarer is substantially smaller then the old style, as well as being a tad more modern, not dominating the face as the old kind do.
The "New" style also comes in two sizes, 52mm and 55mm. I received the 52 only to find them to be a bit too small (I am an average size male), once I returned them for the 55 I was more then satisfied. So in conclusion I would recommend the new style Wayfarer to those wanting the signature look of the style, but with perhaps a bit less obtrusive frame. 55mm is average size, while 52mm would be for females or even some children.

I agree, I just bought the 52's and found they don't fit my face perfectly as the 52/18 2140s do. I exchanged them for the 55's and found them to fit squarely, rather than bowing out around my face.

I almost bought the bigger size because of your review. Its a good thing I went to a local store and tried them on. My face is wider than normal and the 52mm fit just perfect.

Afternoon all; I'm after a bit of wisdom and knowledge as I can't work out what this part is: The bit in the red circle. If you look into the engine bay head on, it's directly behind the high pressure fuel pump. The plastic cap at the head of the metal unit has broken (possible due to excessive heat / cooling / vibration), and whilst I've managed to cobble it back together with tape, cable ties and a bit of 'jedi' I doubt it will last long. Unfortunately the cheap bit (loom connector) looks to be fine. Unit will have to be replaced in full as the plastic connector is an integral part of the unit, there are 2 metal prongs inside it. The unit bolts straight to the top of the engine. No doubt it will be expensive, but saving grace is it looks DIY as there are only 2 (fairly accessible) screws holding it in place. Answers on a postcard.... Cheers Warren
Im not 100% on this but I think it may be something to do with the ECU, my old golf had something that looked similar to that and when it was removed the power disappeared, don't hold me to it xD but i think thats what it looked like
Hmmm, if that is the case, I suppose I better not risk it. I'm about to do a 800 mile round trip and this crops up. I suppose I'd better head round to Audi Parts and take my trousers down as I don't want to be stranded 400 miles from home which is where if it goes wrong, its going to happen.
Supposedly its a variable valve timing sensor (according to the Audi tech). The parts & service guys asked for a look under the bonnet as they couldn't work out exactly what I was asking for. When the saw the mods under the bay lets just say I got the usual gurning face of disapproval because there were unexpected pipes, sponges and bits other trinkets that they weren't expecting. Initially I did think the service tech was having an epileptic fit, but then I realised the disapproving facial gestures are one of the unique ways that Audi UK franchises condescend their customers who choose the path less ordinary (e.g. modification). I hadn't been into a dealership for a while and had forgotten how astute they were at it!! That said he seemed knowledgeable enough, so I can't complain. The service guy has just called me with a price of £61.52+VAT, so it's bought and will be fitted ahead of the mammoth journey! Shame as it's only a bloody crack in the plastic clip on the top of it, but it puts a fair bit of stress on the two metal prongs inside, and if it was to break I'm not sure I'd want the VVT systems not working! For higher mileage cars maybe just worth a check to make sure yours is OK, especially if you've removed your engine cover quite often, or fitted an intake (and potentially exposed this part to any stresses as it was incredibly hot when I just touched it).

Product Review - Nexera Brooklyn Espresso End Table
Product Reviews:
user(s) rated
out of 5 starsWe bought this piece for our new office to use in our Meeting Room, which is set-up Living Room-Style. I selected this item because the dark wood color matched existing pieces and because it has a place to hold magazines, brochures or sales literature on each side as well as a display nook and the "tray" top could be used when clients need to sign paperwork. Assembly was a little tricky. I put off putting it together because it looked daunting, but aside from putting the base on upside down and having to fix it, it wasn't that bad. If the legs were metal as opposed to plastic, I would have rated the piece higher. The legs and the bars for the magazines should be a matching stainless look and this piece would be not only functional but more stylish. - GA2VA

This study presents a new method for detecting the cutting tool wear based on the measured cutting force signals using the regression model and I-kaz method. The detection of tool wear was done automatically using the in-house developed regression model and 3D graphic presentation of I-kaz 3D coefficient during machining process. The machining tests were carried out on a CNC turning machine Colchester Master Tornado T4 in dry cutting condition, and Kistler 9255B dynamometer was used to measure the cutting force signals, which then stored and displayed in the DasyLab software. The progression of the cutting tool flank wear land (VB) was indicated by the amount of the cutting force generated. Later, the I-kaz was used to analyze all the cutting force signals from beginning of the cut until the rejection stage of the cutting tool. Results of the I-Kaz analysis were represented by various characteristic of I-kaz 3D coefficient and 3D graphic presentation. The I-kaz 3D coefficient number decreases as the tool wear increases. This method can be used for real time tool wear monitoring.

Virginia Governor To Warn Convention Delegation After GOP Hijinks
Bob McDonnell says he will ask delegation to remind them they represent 8 million Virginians. "We want to make sure they comport with highest standards of good behavior while they're here."
TAMPA, Florida — Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell, the chair of the GOP convention platform committee, told reporters Monday that in light of recent embarrassing stories involving Republican lawmakers, he will warn his delegation to stay in line.
"I can say that I'm the chairman of the Virginia delegation and I will certainly talk to everybody about the fact that they represent eight million Virginians and we want to make sure they comport with highest standards of good behavior while they're here — and my guess is that my colleagues will say the same thing as well," he said Monday, less than a day after POLITICO revealed that one GOP lawmaker was caught skinny-dipping in the Sea of Galilee last summer.
"I heard a little bit about the Sea of Galilee incident," McDonnell said. "The leadership in the House has spoken out correctly on that."
McDonnell explained his comments to his delegates, saying Republicans have to walk the walk to get independents on board in the fall.
"Because we think that it's not only what we say on paper, but it's how we act that makes a difference and whether or not people buy our message and independent voters champion our cause," he said.

As a result, we have never engaged in an annual "Christmas tree hunt" despite always wondering what Christmas feels like with a real tree. For us, the Christmas tree farm was a magical place. The smell of pine filled the air, and together we frolicked up and down aisles of trees picking out our favorites. Take a look at a few photos from our visit to the Christmas tree farm.
Next year just might be the year when we decide to get a real tree. This time, however, we settled for some mistletoe and a few sweet treats from the farm's store.
Our adventure with Lola at the Christmas tree farm was definitely a reminder of how fun something as simple as going to look at trees can be. At her age, so many things are magical and exciting. They present a chance for her to learn more about the world around her and an opportunity for us to make more special memories as a family.

Sun Microsystems this week released "Looking Glass," a 3D desktop interface that provides an OS-neutral version of some of the elements found in OS X and Microsoft's newly-released Vista OS.
The interface also includes a launch bar along the bottom middle of the screen, similar in appearance to the Apple OS X's Dock.
According to the developers, Looking Glass includes several interesting features not included in either the Apple or Windows OSes: the ability to "fly" left or right to a new virtual desktop, or to use the "back" of a virtual window. Windows can also be organized on their "side," allowing a "bookshelf" view of the available windows.
