Acting Magnus Optimus Prime commissions the Axalon, a top secret Elite Guard exploration vessel with orders to track down the technorganics Blackarachnia and Waspinator, with the hope that the pair might be cured. There’s just one catch. With most of the Autobot forces busy hunting down the remaining Decepticon cells left after Megatron’s defeat, the mission commander, a bot known only as Primal, must choose his crew from a pool of misfits and washouts looking for one last chance to prove themselves...

The Imperial War Museum North in Manchester (round the corner from Man United football ground) is an interesting building. The outside structure is made from "shards" of a fragmented globe, so no part of the structure is entirely square.
(architect, Daniel Libeskind)
It seemed appropriate to illustrate the tower of the building - which is a dire warning of the consequences of war - as still under the threat of war clouds.
“War is Indecent” says the sign held by one of the women of Breast not Bombs. I have seen many comments from friends in my journal as well as friends at deviantART and Flickr that believe this is silliness which accomplishes nothing and that it may even hurt the cause of ending the war in Iraq. I am actually torn in forming my own opinion because I just don’t know if it’s anything more then entertainment at best. I do know that the march in DC was very serious, people are very unhappy with so many aspects of our government and its domestic and global policies. Topless women carrying signs of anger and shouting ideas of different ways of thinking that in their opinion will make this world a better place, may just be the type of contrast and even comic relief the crowd of marchers needed. Most of us that went to DC on the 24th of September 2005 were all there for the same reason and although there were a couple dozen hippie hating pro-war and pro-Bush folks along the route, we were pretty much preaching to the choir and letting off steam. Maybe baring ones breast, holding signs of dissent and singing your mantra in the streets is way out there as far as making a real difference, but its got us talking about it and maybe that’s the point.
When: September 24th 2005
Where: Washington DC
What: The United for Peace and Justice Anti-War protest & march
War is not a game - Our thoughts go out to all those that have lost their lives fighting for what they believe in, and to all who are currently waking up each day and risking their lives to make the world a safer place

A poster produced in spring 1898 prodding the American people to go to war with Spain. The USS Maine had blown up in Havana Harbor, Cuba, in February 1898. Although the cause of the explosion was never identified, unofficially the U.S. and the American press believed it was caused by a Spanish mine. "To hell with Spain - Remember the Maine!" was the slogan of many tabloid newspapers (the "yellow press"), which pushed for war to increase sales.
Even in 2013, the cause of the explosion of the Maine is not known. Despite the ship being raised from the bottom of the harbor, despite modern computer modeling, despite six official investigations -- no one knows why the USS Maine exploded. Coal dust in the fuel bunker may have ignited, setting off the ship's ammunition. A coal fire in the fuel bunker may have caused so much heat that the ammunition magazine's exploded. Or, it may have been a mine. (Imperial Spain at the time maintained that the U.S. blew up its own ship to create a cause for war.)
The USS Maine was the first battleship ever built by the United States. Obsolete as soon as she launched, she patrolled the North Atlantic for 18 months before being sent to Havana, Cuba, to help calm anti-independence riots there (fomented by Spanish military officers). Her first night in the harbor, she blew up -- and 260 of her 355 crew died, nearly all of them sailors (not officers). Only a third of the ship remained.
The "yellow press" in the U.S. claimed a Spanish mine sank her, and this caused the Spanish-American War. The war lasted 10 weeks, and Spain lost Cuba, Puerto Rico, the Philippines, and Guam to the U.S.
The Maine stayed where she was until 1911-1912, when the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers raised the latter third of the ship. It was towed three miles out to sea and sunk in 1,200 feet of water. The remaining two-thirds of the ship was just scrap. Some relics (like dishes, swords, bayonets, the ship's bell, etc.) were taken back to the U.S. Some scrap was melted down into commemorative plaques, medals, or insignia. But most of the scrap was taken out to sea and dumped.
In 1899, the 160 Maine sailors buried in Colón Cemetery were disinterred and reburied at Arlington National Cemetery. Two U.S. howitzers and an anchor from another ship were placed there as a memorial. About 60 more dead were found about the Maine when it was raised. These remains were returned to the U.S. in December 1912, and buried at Arlington as well. The memorial mausoleum was created at Arlington near the Maine burial field, and the mast of the USS Maine was set into it. Today, it's known as the USS Maine Mast Memorial.
