This guy has a pretty awesome transformation sequence - great engineering. I'm not a huge fan of Bayformers (the Michael Bay movie version of The Transformers), but I really like the Transformers: Prime show. It seems to strike a nice balance between Bayformers and G1.
I'm glad Hasbro made this Voyager Class version of Optimus, because I really didn't like the design of the Deluxe Class one... Still waiting for Megatron!

Why, yes, this 279-page book is indeed a signed, first edition copy of Monica's Story. And, yes, it is signed by Monica Lewinsky.
We keep it on a shelf in our library right between our copies of My Life by Bill Clinton and Living History by Hillary Clinton. Heh.

Souls Shot: Portraits of Victims of Gun Violence
ENJOYING - PORTRAIT OF SHARIF RASHEED WILLIAMS
batik painting on silk 20" x 30" 2017
From the artist:
Sharif Rasheed Williams was 32 in 2009. Before he was shot and killed, he was a "happy go lucky person", according to his mother Joanne Williams. he was outgoing and with a good heart and loved his children. He loved to travel and generally enjoy life. He was proud of his red Corvette and his blue razor pit bull dogs, Christian and Dior. He took his mom to a special Frankie Beverley concert for Mothers' Day. He worked hard and played hard.
In making this portrait I wanted to included the things that Sharif loved and enjoyed and try to make it fun and colorful, as it seems that is how he lived his short life. There are names of those left behind. As Joanne pointed out to me, killing one person wounds many others. The little boy in the piece is also Sharif, a sweetie with the same smile he took to adulthood. It was a challenge to pull this all together but I felt privileged to get to know, as best I could, this man in the photos. His name in the heart at the top is the tattoo his mother Joanne got after he was gone.
From Sharif's daughter Laniyah:
My dad Sharif was very outgoing, loving, and overprotective about his "pooh". He treated me like royalty, and anytime I needed him he was there in a heartbeat. Losing you had to be the worst thing that ever happened to me. Seven years definitely was not enough time with you and it left me mentally unstable. I remember getting the news. . . worst day of my life. I was just wishing it was a all a dream. Even until this day, I wish I could've just told him that I love him one last time. My last birthday spent with [him] was Dorney Park, I think. He got mad and we left early because nobody was listening. My dad treated me like the princess I am and you will forever be in my heart. I love you and I can't wait to see you again.
My father was a man who had smiles to brighten your days. He was patient and kind and the very best friend you could ever hope for. I can't tell you daddy, how many tears I've cried since the day I was told my dad had died. It seems so impossivle even though I know it's true, everything I see around me reminds me of you. I think of you most on your birthday, father's day, and my birthday. Happy some days, sad the other, but right now I can feel you in my heart and you are always on my mind. I just wish I could have said one last goodbye.

A group of eight boys set out to go trick-or-treating on Halloween, only to discover that a ninth friend, Pipkin, has been whisked away on a journey that could determine whether he lives or dies. Through the help of a mysterious character named Carapace Clavicle Moundshroud, they pursue their friend across time and space through Ancient Egyptian, Ancient Greek and Roman cultures, Celtic Druidism, Notre Dame Cathedral in Medieval Paris, and The Day of the Dead in Mexico. Along the way, they learn the origins of the holiday that they celebrate, and the role that the fear of death, spooks, and the haunts has played in shaping civilization. The Halloween Tree itself, with its many branches laden with jack-o'-lanterns, serves as a metaphor for the historical confluence of these traditions.
The novel originated in 1967 as the screenplay for an unproduced collaboration with animator Chuck Jones. In 1992, Bradbury wrote and narrated a feature-length animated version of the novel for television, for which he won an Emmy Award. [Source: Wikipedia]

My second female Transformer! Arcee is great in the Transformers: Prime show. I wonder if Hasbro will give her the Voyager Class treatment somewhere down the track.
"The approaches to New Orleans were familiar; general aspects were unchanged. When one goes flying through London along a railway propped in the air on tall arches, he may inspect miles of upper bedrooms through the open windows, but the lower half of the houses is under his level and out of sight. Similarly, in high-river stage, in the New Orleans region, the water is up to the top of the enclosing levee-rim, the flat country behind it lies low -- representing the bottom of a dish -- and as the boat swims along, high on the flood, one looks down upon the houses and into the upper windows. There is nothing but that frail breastwork of earth between the people and destruction." [From "Life on the Mississippi," pp. 422-423]
“Life on the Mississippi” is a classic travel story by Mark Twain, which contains an account of his childhood experiences, as well as his life on the river as a steamboat pilot. It is his first-hand look at navigating the Mississippi by riverboat and the changes that came about after the Civil War. The book was written at about the same time as “Huckleberry Finn” and shares several themes with that classic. Huck Finn makes a lengthy cameo on pages 42–61, a story within the chapter detailing Huck and Jim's attempt to reach Cairo which does not appear in Huckleberry Finn, published two years later.
In September 1883, “The Atlantic Monthly” published a review of the book, in which the following was said: "The material offered by observations on the journey is various beyond enumeration, and much of it is extremely amusing. Hoaxes and exaggerations palmed off by pilots and other natives along the way upon supposed ignorant strangers; stories of gamblers and obsolete robbers; glimpses of character and manners; descriptions of scenery and places; statistics of trade; Indian legends; extracts from the comments of foreign travelers, -- all these occur, interspersed with two or three stories of either humorous or tragic import, or of both together."

Wernher von Braun’s rocket team was one of the most influential technological forces in the 20th century. The von Braun team forever changed warfare with its 200-mile-range V-2 missile. Despite the constant allied bombing of Germany during World War II which cut supply lines and forced manufacturing operations underground, the scientists and engineers on von Braun’s team refined and developed their work to the point that, when they arranged their surrender to the Americans at the end of the war, von Braun announced that he had a rocket on the drawing board that could fly from Germany to New York. Little wonder, then, that the rivalry was so keen between the U.S., Russia and Britain to gain their services.
After World War II, von Braun’s rocket team created the first long-range ballistic missiles for the U.S. They worked on the Explorer program that resulted in the first American satellite to orbit the Earth. And within a decade they developed and built the huge 363-foot-tall Saturn rocket that sent man to the Moon.
The book “The Rocket Team” provides insight into the wartime growth of rocketry and tells how the men were brought to the U.S., and established first at White Sands, NM, and then at Hunstville, AL. Included, too, is a chapter on the development of post-war Soviet rocketry, based on the work of the members of the von Braun team who chose to go East instead of West.
