How To Move A Piano Properly

By Erik Sever

How does one move a piano? Very scrupulously.

Ok, I'm being a tiny harsh, but moving a piano is a major undertaking.

I'm a big advocate of hiring a professional mover to move a piano. Pianos are heavy and it's easy to damage a piano while moving it. I'm talking from experience. I own a Kimball piano my parents bought brand new for me when I was a kid. That piano was a big thing to me after having played on an old "clunker" of a piano for many years. I played that new piano every day.

When I got married it was time to move the piano to my home. My husband and his bros moved it themselves. It wasn't a simple job even with the moving dolly they used (pianos weigh several hundred pounds - grand pianos can weigh 1,500 pounds ). The newbie move of my piano resulted in each of the piano legs being damaged (a common occurrence when folk move a piano themselves) and some unplanned internal work ( some pins required correct and a string broke). I should have hired a piano mover. Then I wouldn't have had those issues, but my husband and I thought we might save cash by doing it ourselves. It had been a lesson I should have remembered, but I was foolish a second time.

A few years back my husband and I made a new house. When it came time to move the piano again, my husband was disinclined to hire someone to move it professionally because our pocketbook was feeling empty from the expense of building the house (he called our new house a "money-sucking black hole." ) In his mind, moving it wasn't a massive deal. Our new house was less than two miles from our old one; and he had a dolly, a trailer, and a brother who was ready to help him.

Everything went O.K till my partner turned into the driveway of our new home. The sharpness of the turn strained the ropes holding the piano on the trailer and they broke. The piano tipped over and sustained a large amount of damage (the entire "guts" of the piano are ruined and the case is chipped and scratched). I haven't had it fixed yet, but I have gotten an estimation. It's going to take a lot of time and money to fix the piano. It needs to be completely reconstructed. Due to the labor involved, it might be cheaper to buy a new piano than have it fixed, but the piano has plenty of soppy worth to me so I will have it fixed. This is why I say, "Hire a professional!"

What does a professional piano mover do to guarantee a safe and successful move? With upright pianos, they almost always strap the piano on a skid called a piano board. They also cover the piano with blankets to help protect it. The complete bundle is then often put on a dolly and brought to its destination. If steps are involved, the piano is taken off the dolly and declined up or down the steps on the piano board.

Moving a grand piano is a bit more concerned. The lid, lid hinges, pedal lyre, and leg on the straight side of the piano are usually all removed. The piano is then put on the piano board, on its side, with the straight side down. The other legs of the piano are then removed. The piano is then covered with blankets, strapped to the board, and put on a dolly.

Some movers don't like to move a piano up or down stairs. If it is possible, they prefer to hoist it to the acceptable floor via a window that is large enough to accommodate the piano.

So what do you do if you simply need to move your piano from one part of a room to another? First, decide if it is truly necessary to move it because there's always the chance of damaging a piano even with a short move. Piano legs are the most probable thing to get broken or damaged.

Be very careful to elude putting too much weight on the legs. Get a few strong folk to help if the piano is an upright; and get at least 5 people if it is a grand piano. With an upright or spinet, tilt the piano back a little to take the pressure off the front legs, but watch out not to tip it back too far and tip it over. With a grand piano, lift the piano up enough to get the pressure off the legs before you try and move it. It's not necessary (and not recommended) to lift the piano off the floor completely.

If you are going to move a piano often, consider having it fitted with special casters that will allow you to move the piano simply. Or, have the piano placed on a piano truck.

How you do you find a good piano mover if you've decided to not try and move it yourself? My suggestion is that you call your local piano store and ask them for suggestions. They'll be able to give you the name or names of credible movers in your area.

Okay, so you have decided you are definitely going to move your piano and you have selected a method. Now you have to figure out where you are going to put the piano. Where should it go?

Try to put your piano in an area of a room where there are little or no drafts, drafts, where it's out of direct daylight, and where the temperature and humidity are stable. The reason is because pianos are delicate to humidity and temperature. Plenty of temperature and humidity swings bring about a piano to go out of tune faster than normal, can damage the wood case, and if they are serious they even ultimately cause structural failure.

Don't place your piano over or next to a heat vent and elude placing it close to a fireplace. Don't put in front of a window because that's typically a drafty place as well as one with direct daylight. Try to find a room in your house or flat which has constantly stable temperature and humidity. That is the best room for your piano.

If you can not find a place in your loft or home that is out of direct sunlight, free of drafts, and does not have gigantic temperature swings, you may wish to consider having a climate control system installed in your piano.

Moving and placing your piano properly will help guarantee you have a beautiful instrument to play for ages instead of having what I now own - an oversized paperweight that should be dusted.

Deciding Between Turntables and CD Players

By Nik Levesque

DJ turntable vs. CD players: which is which, you might ask. Well, that depends on two things. One: what do you intend to use the music player for. And two: how much money are you really willing to spend on the player. By the way, these are two very different players. For starters, a DJ turntable is basically a phonograph or gramophone, which uses vinyl records as its primary medium. Speaking of which, vinyl records as a form of recording style has been supplanted by digital music in 1991. Although there are still some artists and recording companies who use this medium to store music, most of the vinyl recordings carry music only from the late 1920s to 1990.

On the other hand, optical discs are the primary medium for CD players. CD discs have a wider range of music selections, primarily because new music is being constantly added to the play list and music companies are re-recording "classics" on digital formats now. At the same time, amateur musicians can record their own music and have these burned on CD formats easily.

There is also no such thing as a compact DJ turntable. This equipment can be rather bulky, and not really the type you can play on you lap while you take the bus home. Most CD players are very portable. However, these are limited only to the conventional CD music format, and will not play any other forms of recordings (e.g. MP3s.)

Saying this, let us now tackle about your actual intention for acquiring said players. Naturally, playing music is the number one reason here. It should be noted that both players do not have the capacity to burn or scratch music either on CD formats or vinyl formats. However, these can work well enough with playing their respective mediums. DJs also use the turntable to scratch, mix, or spin music - which is something that conventional CD players cannot do. Scratching is the distinct repetitive sound made when the DJ's hand moves the vinyl record back and forth in little motions. Mixing and spinning music can only be done using two turntables and a music mixer with crossfader functions. The main goal of using turntables is to play, mix and scratch music for the benefit of others. Very rarely will you see a DJ mixing music for his or her ears only.

Conventional CD players do not have this same capacity. These can only ever play pre-recorded music, and only at the sequence specified. Because the songs are digitally recorded as a whole, CD players cannot start the music other than its introductory area, and you certainly cannot mix part of the song with another song in the same disc without skipping to the next tune.

As for costs, turntables are more expensive by far. Complete turntable units can cost as much as $7,000; this still does not include the rates of the vinyl records you have to buy. Some of the higher end CD players can cost about $200, while the portable ones cost less than $40.

It's A Matter of Planning

By Anne Torres

Online Games are not only made for men. These online games are unisex - can be played by both men and women. Sexual category is no longer an issue when it comes to online games not like any other ordinary games. It is an issue on tactics, method, deployment and strategy.

There are loads of good and cool games in the internet. Just try searching and you may be flabbergasted because you can find a listing of the most excellent games online - from adventure games, war or army games to rpg gaming. Some games are even made to movies because of its reputation. The most successful movies that were originally games were Resident Evil, Max Payne, Street Fighter and many others.

Before, these online games are just played by men. But now, there are many online girl gamers around. Some girl gamers even surpassed the abilities of men gamers when it comes to strategizing.

People have this state of mind that online games are just for men and that women are not supposed to play these kinds of games. I don't think so. A number of girl gamers or most girl gamers even go as far as joining competitions such as war games, adventure games, spy games and even army games.

Masculinity or femininity is no longer an issue with online games. It's not a game of force. It's a matter of finding the ideal strategy or the perfect plan.

Contrary to what others believe, online games are not a waste of time or money, in fact, online games can enhance and perk up our attentiveness and our alertness, and they also sharpen our mind through creating strategies and making game plans depending on the kind of online game we are playing.

But normally, online games have intentions and goals. And it's up to you on how you will accomplish and realize these objectives.

Your teacher should be patient, understanding and above all else, professional!

If you take your tuning one and a half steps or two steps down your guitar is now sounding menacing. If you want to tune your guitar any lower than two steps down, a longer than normal neck will stop the strings from moving around too much. Once you have got an idea of the guitar players you should be listening to and watching, you will be able to go looking for bluegrass guitar tabs.

RIAA - Its Role In Music Industry

By Susan Reynolds

RIAA is an acronym of Recording Industry Association of America. The association is a groping of various large companies who deal with the recording and music distribution in the United States of America. In the 1950's the primary concern of this association was maintaining the quality of music. However now the focus has shifted to the copyright protection which has become the main thrust area of the association.

The change in priorities has taken place because of frequent unauthorized and illegal copy or download of music that has copy right restriction to it. The movement is presently conducted under Mitch Bainwol. In the 1990's Napster which was an an online music file sharing service was accessible and people downloaded any kind of music from it without any cost. They would freely download, burn and share music with friends. With the advance of computer technology the issue of copyright protection became more and more sharp.

RIAA was forced to take the step of banning online music sharing services such as Napster. To prevent illegal and unauthorized download of music a set of laws was put in place. In the early 2000 severe laws were framed which sought to put restrictions on activities like illegal download or even purchasing pirated CD's. Youth were specifically marked by RIAA to be prevented from downloading music which was an infringement of copyrights.

RIAA is vigorously active on the front of preventing misuse of music in violation of copyrights. But in fairness it must be stated that all do not agree with its stated objective. It has been pointed out by those not in agreement that during the time online services like Napster available the number of CDs sold was far greater. It has also been criticized for poorly compensating artists while in contrast they make huge margins of profit.

RIAA has also been blamed by opponents for its lawsuits against blameless people. Lawsuit filed against a kid of age about 12, an aged woman nearly 83 years in age and one against a woman in her 60's who could hardly use computer have been cited as example of high handedness. Credibility of RIAA has suffered big erosion on account of such actions.

In accordance with popular wish RIAA enacted a law that for past acts of illegal downloading of music no action will be taken against people. However they must assure that they will not continue to do so in future. It was seen by many as the right approach but in a year's time the law was depreciated.

People have an ambivalent feeling for RIAA. While many are annoyed by it, there are others who are thankful for its exertions. Opinions may vary from person to person but it cannot be denied that RIAA has made considerable progress in the last few years.

Many people find the tactics of RIAA unacceptable in spite of RIAA puts a brave defense. Many feel that the policies of RIAA may result in death of music.

In Transformers 2 - Who Are The Main Transformers?

By Michael Nielsen

Transformers became the major impression when it was released in 2007, the older age group was being reminded of their once most wanted characters and the younger age band loved the marvellous new shape of the elderly robots.

Now, Michael Bay is back again with Transformer - Revenge of the Fallen. The movie stars all of the old transformers as well as some new ones. The two rivals Autobots and Decepticons are fighting a ferocious battle.

Optimus Prime is Boss of the Autobot herd. He is his courageous and plucky. Peter Cullen has given his sound for the character. As before he disguises himself as a blue Peterbilt truck and it has red flare decals on it. He is the mightiest and wisest Autobot of all. In transformers-revenge of the fallen he brawls for the safety of human kind against his own kind.

Decepticons are being led by Megatron once more. In transformers Megatron was crushed by Sam but now he appears again. He was abandoned into the Laurentian Abyss by the Autobots, now he is raised by the Constructicons with the help of Allspark and he impersonates in the profile of a Cybertronian tank. Some sources say that he is now a Triple Changer and transforms into a jet mode as well. However, he is stronger and fierce than before.

Decepticons have one stealthier warhead, The Fallen. As the name of the motion picture suggests The Fallen has a lot of proposition in the movie. The Fallen was one of the first thirteen original transformers, but he had wicked plans and corrupted Megatron and urged him to form the Decepticons. Now, he is again woken up from the foundation of the sea by the Constructicons, where he had been laying for thousand of years. This time he will also shake hands with the Decepticons and come to fight against the Autobots and humans. Rumors have it that Leonard Nimoy is voicing the character of The Fallen.

Mark Ryan once more provides sound for Bumblebee. The favorite fifth-generation Chevrolet Camaro, Sam's mate and alley is back this time too.

Zune Music Downloads: Factors For Downloading

By Rashel Dan

In reply to iPod's dominance in the mp3 industry, Microsoft came up with Zune. Not long after its release, Zune music downloads started to make their mark in the music market as well.

WIFI-Capable - People are slowly starting to realize just how important the Zune player is in the mp3 market because of how capable a device it is. It's WIFI capability alone is something to marvel at, allowing people to share their music over-the-air while simultaneously creating community. But when choosing content, just what are the factors that affect people's downloading decisions?

Content Variety

Different Genres - When it comes to music downloads, people have different tastes. And because of the difference in taste, there has to be a variety of content that is available to the downloading public. When it comes to Zune downloads, there is actually a pretty good selection that people of all walks of life can choose from.

There are selections that range from Jazz to Rock and Roll, R&B to Soul, Hip Hop to Opera, Big Band Music to Rap, etc. Whatever you fancy, Zune content providers are sure to carry a selection that is to your liking. Content is also various when it comes to movies, game downloads, and software but it is music that people download the most which is why Zune content providers make sure that they can satisfy the download thirst of music lovers worldwide.

Download Speed

Regardless of the fact that you have the best internet connection in the world, there are some factors that may make downloads slow. This is because many people like to download from sites in bulk amounts and if many are downloading from one site at the same time, chances are that the speeds will be less than satisfactory.

Bulk Downloads - This is one of the reasons that people look for sites that can support bulk downloads. Zune music downloads from subscription sites are fast becoming more popular and in demand so download speed is another factor in how people make their decisions about where to get their content.

Ease

Selecting the Best One - There are many content providers on the Internet that provide music for listeners with Zune players. Since there is so much competition, how does one decide which site is best to use? One major factor is how easy it is to surf a site. People want a quick fix and this means that getting to the content they want has to be easy as opening a door, getting what they want, and then closing it again. That's what content providing sites should keep in mind if they want more Zune download demands and more customers.

Cost

Most importantly, people are affected by prices. Nobody will buy a $5 mp3 if they can get the same mp3 from another site for a dollar or even less. Prices dictate how many customers a site will have. This is the reason why monthly subscriptions sites that offer unlimited downloads are doing so well. Imagine being able to download as much as you want for $15 or less each month. Now that's a bargain for Zune music downloads that is too good to pass up.

It is a very critical part of choosing a musical instrument if you have plans to purchase it in an online shop.

Also it is very important that you can have under control other crucial elements of your musical instruments such as the accessories it could use, the place where you are going to have your musical instrument and other relevant details. For instance, have stands for those instruments that need a stand and covers could be something that will help you to protect your musical instruments and protect your money.

Download XBOX 360 Games That Work - It's Easy!

By Tommy Paxton

I'm always impressed with how the Xbox 360 continues to be such a powerful game system even after so many "new and improved" systems have been released after it. There's no question the Xbox has earned it spot at the top of the video game industry by constantly staying a step or two ahead of the competition. Today I wanted to show you how to use Xbox 360 game downloads for your system.

As more people hear about using Xbox 360 downloads, we seem to be getting more and more emails from people asking how to find and use Xbox 360 game downloads. We thought it might be useful to put together a quick article showing you your options so you can start to download Xbox 360 games right away.

Option #1 - XBOX 360 Downloads

This is usually the first option people try although it rarely works out for them. There are websites that claim to offer "free xbox 360 downloads" and ask you to install their software in order to start downloading games and movies. It sounds great, but you need to know a couple of things before you rush off to use these websites.

The first and biggest problem you need to be aware of is that these websites are famous for spreading viruses and spyware. The files that are on them are not monitored by anyone and a large percentage of them are viruses that have been added by people that like to causes problems. Unfortunately, there's no way of knowing what you are downloading in advance so you put your computer at risk whenever you click that "download now" button.

Another annoying thing about these websites is that the download speeds are incredibly slow. It's not unusual to wait well over a day just for one file to finish downloading.

To make things worse, you will find that a large percentage of files from these websites don't even work. There are a lot of games that are "corrupt" and will never work on your xbox. It's a big hassle waiting so long for something to finish downloading only to find out it doesn't even work.

We just don't see the point of using these websites. You can put your computer at risk and waste your time all at the same time.

Option #2 - XBOX 360 Downloads

This next option lets you download Xbox 360 games without having to worry about viruses, slow download speeds or download files that don't work.

As more and more people saw the demand for Xbox 360 downloads, a few businesses decided to capitalize on this trend and open up specialized Xbox 360 game download websites that people could use without the hassles of the first option. These websites charge a small membership fee (roughly $50 on average) that lets members have unlimited access to xbox 360 downloads for as long as they have their system.

Considering that the price of this type of membership is less than the cost of just one Xbox game, this can be a huge money saver for people. You can download as many games or movies as you want (including new releases) and are only ever billed the one time.

Since the companies that run these websites are in it to make a profit, they make sure that their customers stay happy. The download speeds they offer are fast, the files always work and the selection is huge. The service takes about 5 minutes to set-up and is completely legal and protected from any viruses.

At the bottom of this article you will find a link you can use to learn how to get a free trial at a couple of the most popular xbox 360 download websites. It takes about 5-10 to setup and all the software you need to use the games on your xbox is included.

I'm always a little surprised that there aren't more people using this type of service. It's a lot cheaper and easier than buying games at the stores. I imagine that many people just aren't aware of the xbox download services that are now available.

It's easy to build up a huge library of games once you start downloading xbox 360 games. It's a cheap and easy way to keep up with the latest games that come out. You have been warned though - it's extremely addictive!

Transformers 2: A Story Of Megatron's Vengeance

By Michael Nielsen

'Megatron' is amongst the main characters in Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. He is the embodiment of evil forces in the world, which came in to being right from the beginning of the creation. They are the very a cause of disrupting peace and bringing chaos. Megatron is the commander of Decepticons, as we have seen in the first movie of Transformers.

In the prequel, we saw Megatron in a covered with ice, and tied up unable to act or fight. His following group, the tiny Constructions unleash him from this state of freeze. Then we saw the traits of his character. Megatron although is an evil personality, yet he has many good components in his personality.

He is a perfect leader, who created an undying force for achieving his goal; his will power. He not only throws in a new life in the battle but also acts as an inspiration for his following Decepticons. He is a brutal killer, and does not think for a second before killing anyone. In the first movie of Transformers, just as the deadly ice around him melts, he starts killing. Megatron is a swift and clear-headed leader, who has a vivid objective in mind: war and win.

Megatron is an incarnation of courage and power. He is the one who instigates to launch a battle. In the second part i.e. Transformers 2, Megatron is brought back to life to take revenge from the goodies who were responsible of his fall and death in the first part. He is brought back to life once more by Constructions consuming dead robots parts.

This is true symbol of his followers believing in him, as the guide winning against the Autobots. Else, one more reason for resurrecting Megatron is that he has scores to settle with Sam and rest of his friends. His revenge has elevated emotions in it. It is difficult to defeat him once he has gained again so much power and strength. Megatron's revenge is unyielding like his nature and his evil immorality.

To subvert the good forces of Humans and Autobots, and to achieve his goal of taking revenge, Megatron get help by numerous Decepticons and Constructions / Devastators, new and old. These include Starscream, Soundwave, Ravage, Scorponok and Blackout, The Fallen, Constructions: Scavenger, Hightower, Long Haul, Mixmaster, Rampage, Scrapper, Overload, Demolisher, Sideways, Scalpel, and Isabel Lucas.

He is the brother of Optimus Prime, corrupted and fallen to evil designs because of the ill aims of the Fallen. The revenge of Megatron makes him blind and his anger makes him the enemy of his own brother. This revenge of Megatron has a biblical reference of Abel and Cain.

The movie Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen has a remarkable projection of revenge. This is the revenge of evil against good. This is an ever-going quest that is similar to the literary works and in Biblical works too. With this subject, let us see whether this movie has the potential to become a classic or not, with the grand subject of revenge.

A drum is an instrument played by a drummer which has the responsibility to keep the rhythm in a band. Drums are very important in a band or orchestra but you should make a good selection of this instrument.

There are several brands in the market but I highly recommend Mapex which is currently ranked as the #1 in the world due to the quality of the materials used and because this brand has been performed in several clinics and percussion events around the world.

A drum is an excellent instrument which requires an excellent and skilled performer that keep the rhythm and have good capacity. If you are playing drums in a rock band you should know this kind of music is strident and despite the quality of the sound required for this kind of music you will also need that the materials of the drums can resist without producing any problems with your drums.

There are sensible parts of the drums that should have a wonderful quality, for instance, hi hat should have a good quality and that's why is recommended that you purchase drums from a remarkable manufacturer, such as Yamaha, Juggs, ZidJian and other popular brands which have a good reputation among drummers from everywhere around the world.

Another important part of the drums are the pedals you use, sometimes the chain that is part of the pedal is manufactured of a pretty bad quality and it could be a problem for you. Try to purchase products of high quality for avoid disappointments. Also you should try to ask guarantee before purchase your drums.

By Michael Nielsen

With the Transformers returning this June with the sequel Revenge of the Fallen, there are many characters that would be making a comeback and there are also others who would be new to the movie and are especially designed characters for the part 2. Most of the Autobots are also making a comeback in the movie along with their marvellous leader, Optimus Prime. As it was in the Transformers, Optimus Prime is Peterbilt truck that has flame decals.

Optimus Prime is very skilled in what he does and he is the particular who has helped the Autobots all through the evolution between Cybertron and the globe. When it comes to initiate a brawl, Optimus Prime's much-loved phrase is that one will stand, one will fall.

It is under the dynamic leadership of Optimus Prime that the Autobots emerge as the heroic robots from Cybertron during their battle to destroy the evil forces, which are the Decepticons. The Decepticons are trying to destroy the home world of the Autobots and hence the entire universe also. It is Optimus Prime and his other Autobots who are committed to protect the Earth.

Regarding power and intelligence, none stands equal to Optimus Prime. Optimus Prime transforms into a truck that is cab over flat nose and the cab of the truck becomes the robot mode of Prime. Optimus Prime is the possessor of vast strength and is also armed with a laser rifle. Optimus Prime also carries the Autobot Matrix of Leadership in his chest, which has been in the Autobot leaders for ages.

The truck, which is Optimus Prime, has a trailer that disconnects and becomes a Combat Deck and acts as a mobile battle command headquarter. It serves and gives instructions during surprise fights. Headquarter makes it possible for the Autobots to communicate by acting as a radio antenna. It is also equipped with an auto launcher robot that is armed with assorted beam weapons.

Optimus Prime also has many other supremacy and further powers that have been exposed in the comics and the Transformers movie. Some of these powers include optic explosion that are temporary, holographic map overhang, and also hydrofoils that are deployable. This authorizes Prime as well as the other bodies to move through water easily.

Optimus Prime is the most appreciated Autobot in the midst of all and he is measured to be a professional soldier. Besides that Prime is a clever automaton who acts in the right way during an encounter and always knows what to do. Ironhide is the Autobot that is adjoining to Prime and is like his right hand man.

Other than Prime and Ironhide, the other Autobots recurring in Transformers 2 are Bumblebee, and Ratchet. There are also fresh Autobots being brought in the upshot and these consist of Mudflap and Skids who are identical, Sideswipe, Jolt, the sisters, and Wheelie.

By Michael Nielsen

"Transformers 2" is a Hollywood film that will be released in UK on June 19th 2009. The film is the continuance of Transformers which was released in 2007 supported by toy and animated film chain.

The movie is directed by well-known director Michael Bay and executively produced by Steven Spielberg who is also one more famed director, screen writer and producer. Together Michael Bay and Steven Spielberg are standard figures of Hollywood motion pictures. Michael Bay is comparatively fresh to film industry than Steven Spielberg who has been working in the film industry for more than forty years. Both have produced and directed million dollar movies that have bust box office records.

Shia LaBeouf, Megan Fox, Josh Duhamel, Tyrese Gibson and John Turturro are the roles performing main roles in the movie. Shia LaBeouf plays role of Sam Witwicky the teenager who is trapped in the course of battle of Autobots' and Deceptions'. Megan Fox is the girlfriend of Shia who gets going to a work in a motorcycle workshop in this film. Shia and Megan both are performing major roles in this movie and plenty depends on their actions to make this movie a smash hit of this year.

If you watch TV or find out things on the internet, you would have seen a lot of gossip regarding the Transformers 2. There is lots of buzz in the print, electronic and social media. Every person is sharing his/her views and prophecy about the movie. People like the stuff for which they find good feedback on the internet. A social network is a tremendous place to discover reviews and comments of people about a particular topic.

While Transformers 2007 was released, nobody was looking for any sensation from it. When it was released, it bust the records of earlier hit movies of the year, Spiderman 3 and Pirates of the Caribbean 3. It earned over 3 million dollars in US only and in addition broke UK box office records.

Keeping in view the previous track record of the movie, a lot of people are of the view that "Transformers 2" will be a big hit and will break all previous records of blockbuster movies.

The trailer of the movie is a teaser. It has already attracted and convinced the people to watch this movie during the first week of release. Awe-inspiring special effects, excellent cast, good action, magnificent screenplay, breathtaking music matching the theme of the movie etc are some of the things that outclass this movie from any other movie around. As in any other movie, there were some mistakes in Transformers but they were so minor and the spell-bounding effect of the movie hides them easily.

Movie fans are much energized to watch the movie this summer. Their hopes are positive and far above the ground. Talking in general about 90% people are looking at this movie on the top of the box office after the release. Only 10% people might not like the awe-inspiring visual effects and the powerful screenplay. Yet, not anything can be supposed with hundred per cent assurance unless the movie is released and observed by the public emerging out of the theatre.

Will I Need a Home Movie Theater Projector?

By Owen Jones

Going to the movies is a very popular recreation especially for those young professionals living a considerably stressful life running corporate affairs. However, for those who cannot afford to waste time traveling to and from movie theaters, the answer to this recreational dilemma might be just inside their own house.

You could recreate the audio-visual systems of the movie theaters with your very own custom home theater system. The best custom home theater installation certainly can consist of high quality components that are capable of rendering the complete movie theater experience without having to travel from your residence to the movie theater wasting time and effort queuing in heavy traffic. This modern technology can give you the relaxation and experience that full-sized movie theaters furnish.

The basic components, such as a big screen and speakers with clear and flicker free images from a high quality DVD, can easily provide an almost-authentic movie theater experience. Home theater experts recommend that before you decide on the final set-up and equipment for your custom home theater system, the size of the location must be the first consideration.

So, if you have a small size room intended for your home theater system, a television may be best situated in the middle of one wall and three loudspeakers, placed on the left, right and center, might be enough to provide the surround sound you require from a custom movie theater. However, if you have a larger room, a home theater projector might be the best bet for recreating the "big screen".

Home theater projector screens can provide an authentic movie theater experience. If you have a very rather room for your home theater system, in conjunction with your home theater projector and home theater projector screen, you could add some more loudspeakers around the room. A further useful tip is that a sub-woofer could also help to produce the optimum surround sound to enable you to produce that true sound of a movie theater in your own living room.

There are various designs and models of home theater projector you can choose from. You will need to understand the features of each one, before you decide on which one to buy. It may also be necessary for you to enlist the services of a home theater designer in order to get the home theater package that will give you the best entertainment. This will mean not needing to spend an unreasonable amount of time and money on your home theater system and home theater projector.

It is so easy to buy equipment with an over- capacity for your home theater, especially if you do not know what the choices are and the various requirements that your home theater may have due to the room's size. The measurements of your home theater projector screen should depend on the measurements of your custom home theater and the equipment in your custom home theater. For example, from where you intend to sit to the screen should be between two and five times the diagonal diameter of the screen. So, looking at it from the other point of view, if you want to sit 10 feet (120 inches) from the screen, then the screen should be 24-60 inches, but it is very subjective and depends on the viewers eyesight.

Your home theater designer could easily also suggest options that may not require a television set for your home theater. How is this so? The reason for this is the technological innovations provided by computers and home theater projectors. Home theater projectors like InFocus screenplay models can be used in conjunction with a computer in a small room set-up. Home theater projectors are also lightweight and may be transported easily. For this reason, a projector is very useful for use in custom home theaters and business presentations.

Home theater projectors and home theater projector screens do help provide an authentic cinematic experience. This type of set-up is extremely handy for business presentations and that is why it is becoming more and more popular. The combination of your custom home and custom office theater systems is a new phenomenon, which only a couple of smart consumers have thought of.

I am sure that being aware of all these facts: that is, that a basic television, three speakers and a DVD player can be enough for those people who only want a start-up home theater, you may well come to the conclusion that you do not really require a home theater projector, especially if the room set aside for your custom home theater system is not that big.

Enjoy a cinematographic experience right in your own home by researching your options intelligently. You can then experience the relaxation a movie theater gives you without having to endure heavy traffic on the way to and from the movie theater.

This is a fantastic theme as the costumes are so much fun and so recognisable.

Another popular movie theme is Star Wars. You can get Star Wars costumes for pretty much every character from every movie, which means there is lots of choice to create a varied and fun costume party. From classic Chewbacca, Darth Vader, Han Solo, Luke Skywalker and Princess Leia costumes to more recent film characters such as the fabulous Darth Maul.

How To Play Chords On A Guitar

By Jesscee Clark

You need discover the way to play, strum and finger pick guitar chords software to properly apply and understand chord extensions on the guitar fretboard.

Chords are basis of your rhythm guitar work. This is the other side of the equation from your lead guitar work. To play lead guitar you need to understand rhythm guitar and to play rhythm guitar you need to understand lead guitar. They work together.

Understanding guitar chords is more than learning to play guitar chords are when 2 or more notes are played on adjacent guitar strings either at the same time or in quick order. And that chords are made of 3 notes to make up a true chord which is the root, third and fifth tone of a scale.

Learning chords is more than some simply strumming and finger picking systems. As an example, playing open chords could land you a great and wealthy career with some great singing without the need for any farther study. But success and knowledge are not always linked. Your limit to success might be you ability to only play some memorized open chords.

However, if you are more than simply to learn how guitar chords, you already playing numerous guitar chords on your guitar fretboard and you already have some knowledge of chords and what they mean. If you take a look at open chords for example, we most likely actually do not even know much about them.

For example can you play all kinds of extensions with open chords and understand how to construct these properly on the guitar considering the guitar is not the same as a piano keyboard thus all is not as you could have thought? Do you understand how to put these chords together in numerous tactics from a music concept perspective?

Now there's much to think about aside from looking up some free "chord finder" online or getting some chord book, or some junky chord finding software thrown together to make a quick buck off of your ignorance.

Advanced understanding of guitar chords and the musical perspective does not come simply to most guitar players. Part of the problem is what is available on the mass market and the phony internet reviews, a penny for ten sites that make it harder to find quality instruction.

And the other part of the problem is your need to spend more time and cash attempting to save a buck than just getting something right to start with. Guitar education with chords is a major study and enterprise, if you start to treat it with respect than you can get great guitar software and really move forward with your guitar playing ability.

Hey PSP Owners - Here's How To Find Free PSP Downloads!

By Dave Freeman

Are you the lucky owner of a PSP? There's no question that this has quickly become the best-selling portable gaming system and keeps on finding new fans each and every day. For that reason, we figured it would be a good idea to write a quick guide about how to find free PSP game downloads.

More and more people are using PSP game downloads instead of buying PSP games at the stores. It's a lot cheaper to download PSP games and you don't even have to leave the house! You just have to fire up your computer anytime you feel like trying a new game.

Let's not waste any time! I'm going to list your three options to find free PSP downloads:

Option One: Free PSP Game Downloads

As a first step, a lot of people on the lookout for free PSP downloads simply employ a search engine. They enter "free PSP downloads" into Google, etc. and have a look.

And?

Sadly, nothing useful appears. While there will be sites offering "free PSP game downloads", there will always be a catch (or a few). Be wary of these sites.

Sites like these are a great place to get your computer infected with all manner of viruses and spyware. Sadly, there are malicious characters out there who upload infected files to these sites - and they tend to be loosely monitored, if they are at all.

Adding insult to injury, the download speeds are very very slow on these sites. Without any real investment, server capacity and bandwidth suffer, and so will you if you try to get downloads from these sources.

Even more frustrating, a lot of theses files you may spend quite a lot of time downloading will not even work. Corrupt, nonfunctional files are rife on these sites. This wastes your time.

Understandably enough, we cannot in good conscience recommend any of these sites. A waste of time and a risk to your computer, they are best avoided.

Option #2 - Finding Free PSP Downloads

Your second option is one that many people have tried after getting frustrated with the first.

There are sites which provide PSP downloads, but on a membership basis. You'll be able to download all sorts of files, but there will be a fee (usually about $30 monthly). For some though, this is well worth it as you can download files any time you like.

The next option is a lot better and lets you get the same PSP downloads, so we'll end the discussion of option #2 here.

Option Three: How To Find PSP Downloads

We saved the best for last, of course. This is the option that we truly feel comfortable recommending for finding PSP game downloads.

There are PSP game download membership sites that offer unlimited downloads for a one-time only membership fee. Instead of having to pay each month, you are only billed once and can then download games or movies whenever you want for as long as you have your PSP.

Membership in these sites costs anywhere between $30 and $50, and include the software you'll need to get your downloads where you need them to be: your PSP.

We included a link at the end of this article so you can learn how to start a free trial at a couple of the top-ranked PSP download websites. The setup should take you in around 5-10 minutes.

Unlike the sites discussed in option #1, these sites are run by companies who invest in them. They have the motivation to make sure their customers are well taken care of, lest their reputation suffer. Because of this, they make sure downloads are fast and files are checked before being made available for download, as well as ensuring access to all of the latest PSP games.

As more and more people start to download PSP games we can only imagine that game sales will drop quite drastically at the stores. Using PSP game downloads is a far cheaper and more convenient way of keeping your PSP stocked with all the games and movies you want. Enjoy!

Dave Matthews Band Newest Album Release

By Patrick Daniels

Dave Matthews Band has returned with an all new album and an all new sound, after a four year hiatus of sorts. There newest album "Big Whiskey And The Groogrux King" has departed from earlier works by the DMB.

The Dave Matthews Band has been known for years as a band with a more rocking sound then their jam-band contemporaries such as Phish or Moe, but on this album the depart and take a journey towards places they haven't visited in the past. Breaking away from their early, more main stream sound, the band uses this album to expand on their more mature approach toward music and its influences while lamenting their departed friend and founding band member, LeRoi Moore.

Moore died in 2008 as a result of complications caused by an ATV accident. His role as saxophonist was taken up in the studio by Jeff Coffin. Many theorize the band came back together to make this album as a sort of tribute to Moore, and this is easily across the CD.

Many of the songs on this new album, especially the first release, "Funny the Way It Is", reflect the loss of Moore and the way the band dealt with his passing. "Funny the Way It Is" is most likely the track that most resembles the old Dave Matthews band sound while encompassing their new direction. Other songs on the album, such as "Alligator Pie" and "Baby Blue" show the influence on the band from their time apart, working with other people such as former Soul Coughing frontman Mike Doughty, and their experience recording in Louisiana with producer Rob Cavallo.

With a Delta Blues sound, along with New Orleans French Quarter influences this album show the bands ability to play, despite the loss of Moore.

Although this album takes a new direction from what fans are used to, they will be sure to find that the feelings of the music has had minimal change. Dave Matthews fans will surely be able to find the heart of the sound as they have done in the past. "Big Whiskey And The Groogrux King" is sure to become a DMB classic, same as"Under the Table and Dreaming" and "Crash", even if the new sound takes a little getting used to.

Xbox 360 3-Red Light Repair Manual - Fix Your Console For Good

By Jackson Nigon

There are many games consoles available now but one of the most popular remains the Xbox 360, made by Microsoft. Originally Microsoft launched the Xbox, which has since been developed with several technological advances. The second model released by Microsoft in 2005, with many more features, is the Xbox 360. Sadly since its launch many users have experienced problems with their Xbox hardware, and some of the most common problems are overheating and the 3-red light error.

The 3-red light error means the three lights around the power button that turn from green to red when an error happens. They are signal that there is a problem with the console and they are now known as the Red Rings of Death!

You might see the red light error for a few reasons but one of the most common is overheating. The console overheats when the heat sinks can't properly cool the air down near the processor so this then fails. Overheating can be due to numerous factors, one being a surge in power use by the intercooler. This then makes the motherboard conduct more current through its circuit. Another cause is a bad chip component in the motherboard.

Overheating can cause the GUI (Graphical User Interface) to fail and result in the 3-red light error. As well as the three glowing red lights around the power button an error message will probably show on your screen. The error message will probably show up as E74 but it could also be a different error message.

There are some measures you can take to prevent the red light error from occurring in the first place. One of them is to make sure there is enough air circulating around the motherboard to keep it cool, so that it doesn't overheat. If you can maintain a constant temperature for a long period you shouldn't experience the error.

If you are unlucky enough to get the 3-red light error there are a few ways you can fix it. Either you could send your Xbox 360 off to Microsoft, but you'll have a few weeks wait to get it back, or you can repair it yourself. This would save you loads of time as well as money.

There are numerous XBox 360 repair manuals available online to download, which talk you through every step of the repair process. They are mostly very easy to follow and its quick to repair your Xbox so you can get to playing it within hours. You'll also save yourself a lot of money if you don't send it to Microsoft.

You don't even need any expensive tools to repair your Xbox 360, just a set of screwdrivers, and a repair manual and video that you can download. Most red light errors are only caused by small problems that don't require much technical expertise or time to fix, but all the possible causes and simple repair techniques will be explained fully in an Xbox 360 3-red light repair manual and video tutorial.

Tyrese Gibson Plays Tech Sergeant Epps In Transformers: Revenge Of The Fallen

By Michael Nielsen

The upcoming action packed film Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen has personalities from Transformers 2007. Famous performers are playing their roles in the film including Tyrese Gibson, who is performing as Robert Epps. This continuity of the personality in Transformers 2 is the proof of its significance in the tale.

This personality is a personification of an obedient officer devoted to his responsibilities marked with the kindness of his soul. Robert Epps, in the film, is depicted as a role of the United States Air Force. He serves in the Air Force as a Technical Sergeant. He works under the order of one more personality brought back in the sequel. The role of Captain William Lennox, role of the similar family from the original film, is played by Josh Duhamel who is his commander.

Like Captain William Lennox, Tech Sergeant Robert Epps is also a part of NEST. It is an international task force battling against the evil designs of the Decepticons. This clarifies that he is also an ally of the Autobots and is a positive-minded character ready to do everything in order to win the battle against evil.

In Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, Sergeant Robert gets promoted to the rank of Master Sergeant, which is evidence of his efficiency towards his duties. We see him in the movie wearing the scarlet beret, which means he is part of the Air Force Combat Control. The character of Robert Epps has all the positive traits of a military character: military capability, military posture, and military strength all depicted with utmost perfection.

An exciting quality of the person depiction is his carrying a Visa credit card. This card is clearly visible in one of the several pockets in his uniform, on his left buttock cheek. He is one person who claimed in Transformers 2007 that he would never go to Fig's mama's dwelling to have the alligator meat, which is greatly prized by Figueroa.

We see the energetic and exciting Robert Epps in the very opening of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. He is seen going after a Decepticon Audi RS8 with other forces men.

The picture Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen is action packed full of arousing drama and adventure. We see the projections of capture between the evil forces of the Decepticons and positive forces of Autobots. Both are battling between capturing, releasing, and defending. The Decepticons in this version of the picture come to take on a task to set free a hostage. Said prisoner is Sam Witwicky. Here the person of Robert Epps comes in to defend and protect humanity and the Earth form evil. In these efforts, however, he is not alone. He is not leading the crusade, yet his part has its own weight. He is like a brick amongst several in the wall that jointly makes and strengthens the wall.

Tyrese Gibson is well renowned as an actor, taking part in various hit movies like Waist Deep, 2 Fast 2 Furious, Baby Boy, Four Brothers, Death Race, Flight of the Phoenix, and adding much to his fame: Transformers 2007. He is also famous for the Coca-Cola ad in which he sang 'always Coca-Cola'.

Transformers 2-Cybertron

By Michael Nielsen

Transformers 2 is due to be released soon, and so the anticipation and excitement of its fans is soon going to be finished with the release of the movie. The plot of the movie is very interesting and has been revealed to some extent recently, and before that there were many teasers and promos which kept the anticipation building up.

The Transformers are kind from outside the earth and they arrive from Cybertron, a place which has its own civilisations and traditions, and hence the transformers are often termed as Cybertronian species. The transformers are supposed to have subsisted for millions of years. The Cybertronians are long-standing creatures and have power reserves, with the powers being exclusive to each transformer.

Millions of years old Cybertronians are generally rendered as being born from protoforms, which are empty shells and it is only after they have been given the Spark that they become lively as the spark acts as their life force. In Cybertron, the lives of the inhabitants pass swiftly, and their bodies scuff over the phase of time. The progress of the bodies of the Cybertrons takes place within themselves and they age through updates.

Despite the fact that the Transformers from Cybertron are not human beings, they still do show a very few traits that resemble those of the humans. Some of the examples of these can be family relationships, existence of male and female Cybertronians, and others.

The contemplation of Cybertron being concurrent with the Transformers is rather an old one. There have been a lot of toy series with the name, and the turn of phrase has also emerged in the earlier Transformers motion picture. Transformers: Cybertron was also a toy line and animated series which was in fact aired in Japan. However, in America, the series aired as a sequel to the Transformers: Armada and Transformers: Energon.

Cybertron is not only the habitat planet for the Transformers, but it is also generally used while relating the body of the originator of the Transformers whose name was Primus. Cybertron is the imaginary home of the Transformers. In fact, the term Cybertron is the Japanese word for the Autobot. And as obvious from the film, it is the Autobots who are the Transformers and hence are called Cybertronians.

Although, Cybertron is only the fictional home of the Transformers who are called Cybertronian because of their origin, the idea of the Cybertron has gained huge popularity with the first Transformers movie., with the Revenge of The Fallen, which is going to be released soon , the fans are in immense anticipation after seeing all the promos and the exciting trailers.

There are numerous people who are diehard fans of Transformers and all the things linked with the Transformers. Fans like those now don't have to wait long. And while they are keeping their fingers crossed for the film to be released, they can take pleasure in the new preview and the posters which have been put online. Some of these also include the IMAX posters which are in fact amazing and much more than a fan could ask for at the moment.

All the characters have been very well incorporated into the film and all of them are surprisingly great. The movie has set a record in history in terms of computer memory by taking about one hundred and fifty terabytes of disk space. This is because of the amazing special effects and extensive scale upon which the film has been shot.

There is a substantial group of characters in Revenge of the Fallen, several of which are recurring from the initial Transformers movie, although there are besides scores of other new additions to the cast of the movie. The film has a colossal budget and the effects and shooting is awe-inspiring, and in some portions IMAX has also been used for the movie.

From amongst the autobots, the characters that are positively confirmed to appear in the Revenge of the Fallen are Sideswipe, Skids & Mudflap, Arcee, Volt, Optimus Prime Bumblebee, Ironhide, Ratchet, The Sisters, Chromia, Sideswipe, Wheelie, and Jetfire. One thing that would capture your attention in the Transformers sequel is that the robots have been worked upon in depth, and you can observe all kinds of things related to them from the machines and background to even the weapons that are being used by the robots.

The major categories in which the characters for the Transformers sequel have been separated are the Autobots, Deception, The Faction, plus Cross Faction. Lest of autobots, their boss is Optimus Prime, which is being played by Peter Cullen. Mark Ryan is playing the renowned Bumblebee in the picture as well as Jess Harnell is Ironhide.

Each and every one of these characters is by now creating a great deal of excitement among all the Transformers fans. This hype has been exaggerated even more with the trailer that was freshly released and moreover the promos being played on television, and the posters obtainable online.

Enjoying the grand and overwhelming characters in the movie doesn't put an end to the story. But there is a lot more, and the fans of video games would be thrilled to know that they can now play all they want with their favourite characters in the Transformers 2 video game. The video game is expected to be available in all platforms by June 23rd.

Both Spielberg along with Michael May are exceedingly arrogant plus expectant of the film and believe that it is going to do speculate after it has been released. All factors pooled; there is surely that this is correctly the most anticipated film of the year. Upon deliberation, you do not even have too long to wait before you can go to the theatre and watch the action.

Particulars About The Transformers 2 Character Arcee

By Michael Nielsen

The recent craze regarding the upcoming movie has begun. The talk about Transformers 2 doesn't stop. Further to the announcement of the official title, Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen, there are some more up-to-date details to share with the fans of Transformers. If you are a real Transformer fan, then it would be great news for you to know that the movie is about to be released in few weeks from now.

The action in the movie is unbelievable and is certain to entertain you. This sort of action has improved number of admirers of Michael Bay, who is the director of this movie. Michael bay definitely knows how to use the characters in his movie. Some characters have truly strong scripts in the movie. Transformers 2 is truly going to make news headlines this year.

The opening scene, which was filmed at an old steel factory in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, is marked as in Shanghai, China. The Auto bots are taking down a Decepticon Audi R8. This gang of Autobots consists of The Twins, an ice cream truck that divides into two smaller bots, Arcee, a hot pink female motorcycle bot, Wheels, a go-kart bot, Stinger, maybe a Porsche, and Ironhide, the GMC pickup truck and weapons specialist from the previous Transformers. They follow after the R8 but cannot catch it. This sounded as a flaw as it was 5 on 1 circumstances and it should have been caught. Anyway, if Audi managed to escape the 5 bots, you can imagine the excitement and battle involved in the opening scene.

Arcee is a female Autobot Transformer. She has a nice character in the movie Transformers 2, and transforms into a pink and white car. It was contemplated that Arcee once had been involved with Hot Rod, who is another character from the movie. She also had the job takeoff taking care of Daniels, who is Spike's son. Daniel has also been introduced in the movie.

Despite the fact that Arcee is a prominent character in Transformers, you may not see a toy replicating Arcee. This is because boys would not like to play with a hot pink car, even if it is innovative and state-of-the-art. It is believed by fans that the name Arcee, which sounds like RC, stands for "remote controlled". This refers to the famous radio-controlled toy automobiles.

Arcee was originally supposed to be in the 2007 Transformers film, but because of the unpopular fan response towards a female robot, she was dropped from the main script.

Although Arcee was not in the movie, a motorcycle was used by Captain William Lennox to assault Blackout. This progression was said to be executed with Arcee. As a fight persona, Arcee has received combat lessons from Ironhide.

Even if the character of Arcee was not in the movie, the character still was in the original comic book Transformers. In that comic series, she has an equally important character as that of Bumblebee.

Music Fans! Are You Using Music Chat Rooms To Find New Music?

By Jim Hale

Thousands of people use a music chat room to share ideas, information and enthusiasm about their favorite music and musicians. This avenue can lead previously "undiscovered" artists to the world of "well known."

Music Chat Room: Share the Enthusiasm

Anyone who doesn't think a music chat room is important in the new music industry should take a quick look at one of the hundreds of opportunities on the World Wide Web. While it was necessary to catch the attention of an industry leader or record-company big-shot from the 1950s to about 1990, this is no longer the case. In this new world, musicians can share ideas and information directly with fans, while fans can share ideas and music with each other - all without waiting for a corporate representative or well-known critic to hand down the blessing.

Firstly lets take a look at how chat rooms have evolved and how they are used today. These aren't rooms of course, but they can be comfortable places for individuals to "talk" with one another about common interests. They allow real-time communication between individuals, with Web-cameras adding the visual dimension and enhancing the experience. The history of chat rooms as we know them goes back at least to 1974.

In the past years the concept hasn't changed much. People still exchange ideas and information by typing text that is read by others. Activity included under the heading of "chat room" includes instant messaging, social environments with graphical enhancement and even conferences, forums and bulletin boards. Any of these can serve as a music chat room where ideas and stories can be shared, much as they would be in a coffee shop or other location. However, the chat room has truly global reach, allowing bands, singers and fans to reach beyond their own circle of friends.

Now, how can this work for the musician and the fan base? Take a look at just one such music chat room that focuses on a particular type of music. A group of folks who listen to and appreciate songs from days gone by have their own chat room. This one has a set day and hour for real-time visiting. But it also offers links to musicians and singers, as well as to dates when bands will be playing and featuring older songs.

Imagine connecting with dozens, even hundreds of people around the world who enjoy the same type of music. It isn't necessary to wait for phone calls, letters or even email messages. Newspaper and radio messages about bands appearing or offering new music certainly help. But connecting directly with another fan, immediately, eliminates most miscommunication.

Interesting to not that there is yet another advantage to using a music chat room. New technology in use at some chat-room sites allows one user to play a song that can be heard by another person miles away. Once again, it isn't necessary to wait for the radio signal or mailing of a CD or other storage device. Sharing songs and enthusiasm about new bands has never been easier.

Many years ago it was necessary to play a song live for a radio personality, a record company representative or an agent. Then it was possible that this individual had access to others who could arrange to record the singer or band. From that point, the recording had to be distributed and the band had to travel in order to be heard. While all of this is still possible, and may be helpful to a very few artists, a music chat room and other Web connections can make much of this happen in little or no time.

Facts About The Transformers 2 Character Mixmaster

By Michael Nielsen

An important character of Transformers that completes the existence of Devastator is Mixmaster. Yes, he is the same character that has the ability to produce acid by mixing various chemical components. His acid can be used very effectively, so he has an intellectual power in addition to the physical power. His skills let him make any thing by using anything, living or nonliving. Nothing can come between his experimental purposes, until he accomplished them.

Being an important character, Mixmaster is expected by his fans to show his presence in Transformers 2. He has always been the companion and supporter of Long Haul by making left leg of Devastator. Previously, we have seen Mixmaster in purple as well as in green colours. Let us see what colour he is going to have in Transformer: Revenge of the Fallen. Most probably, it is going to be silver and black.

Similar to Long Haul, he is moreover shaped by Shockwave. He then had a skill to alter into a cement truck - or you can say cement amalgamation bulldozer. As it has been told earlier, he can fabricate acid; the acid he produces can burn even steel doors. He can also produce a smoke screen, which is also dreadfully caustic and can burn anything. After preparing a mixture, he can pour it through his hand that can be changed into a pouring device. In Transformers 2, he is going to show his presence in the form of a real mixer tank.

Mixmaster's eating habits are extremely weird as he loves to imbibe oil. He is regularly in a witty mood, and whistles when he sees red blistering cars. His intonation resembles Brookyn's. He is much more insistent, a control freak, and egotistic when compared to other characters.

Being a muscular minded personality, he is going to be the leader of Devastator. Possibly it's for the reason that of his rational skills along with wise approach that he is chosen to be the main part of Devastator. Like always, in this upcoming movie he is going to go with Long Haul in finding Megatron's corpse from under the deep sea. This is the point of devastation for the Autobots. They were thinking that they had bestowed the world with harmony by killing Megatron forever. But, on the other hand, Mixmaster was busy finding his apparently dead master to make his survival possible in any case.

Autobots are pleased after overwhelming their adversary, but they do not know that they have just completed a petite struggle on the face of the earth. They do not discern that the real battle is just about to commence this fight will not be the fight for earth, but rather it will be a fight for the universe that will be much more destructive, with much more dominant enemies.

Mixmaster is surely going to play a major role in defeating the enemy, but whether he is going to succeed in his mission or whether once again his team has to face defeat is still a mystery.
