So Cheesy!
Yesterday, I ordered the Double Beef Cheese Burger with extra Bacon (260+40). The burger was so CHEESY *.* It was actual cheese not some mustard sauce. When I had my first bite I was totally blown away with the taste. The patty was HUGE and was packed with flavors. The bacon was also a bit OVER SIZED. With all the goodness accumulated together this restaurant deserves a 10/10. Not to mention, the staff were very friendly, they visited us twice to ask how the food was. It was really comforting.

Maia (Portugal), 1974
Gil Maia studied Fine Arts – Painting at Faculty of Fine Arts of the University of Porto, Portugal. Gil Maia's real artistic intention is to overcome him restlessness while in constant flux between painting and resolving the challenges that he is provoking. Considering that paintings speak for itself, the artist provokes a tug-of-war between the unconscious freedom and the severity of intellect, flickering between the conscious and the unconscious. In terms of composition, Gil brings traditional iconic Portuguese elements such as the painted blue tiles, monastery furniture and the Spanish fan, working the acrylic or the oil around a centrepiece. Surrounding the focus point are elements that remind the work of Francis Bacon although he predominantly works with abstract geometrical images.

The Marvel Cinematic Universe has travelled to the far reaches of the universe and introduced audiences to Norse gods like Thor and Odin, but back on Earth things are about to take a turn for the mystical in Doctor Strange. The second Marvel movie of 2016 will star Benedict Cumberbatch (Sherlock) as Dr. Stephen Vincent Strange, a surgeon who discovers a new career as a sorcerer and superhero after an accident robs him of the use of his hands.
Doctor Strange has been filming on location in Nepal, and thanks to a combination of cameras and social media we've already seen glimpses of Cumberbatch as Strange and Chiwetel Ejiofor as Baron Mordo. Marvel has also offered a look at some of the concept art for the film, but now for the first time we have an official promo image of Cumberbatch in character to share.
Courtesy of Entertainment Weekly, the image shows Cumberbatch in what is presumably his final look as Doctor Strange, rather than the straggly-bearded apprentice that we've seen in set photos. The overall look is very similar to that of the comic book character: a high-collared red cape, trimmed goatee, threads of silver in his hair and - of course - the Eye of Agamotto amulet around his neck. The cover image promises more details from the set of Doctor Strange when the issue hits news stands, so we're looking forward to finding out more about Doctor Strange very soon.
Check out Benedict Cumberbatch as Doctor Strange below:
Doctor Strange reunites the creative team behind the horror movie Sinister: director Scott Derrickson and screenwriter C. Robert Cargill, the latter of whom worked on the script along with co-writers Thomas Donnelly, Joshua Oppenheimer and Jon Spaihts. Also starring alongside Cumberbatch and Ejiofor are Tilda Swinton, Rachel McAdams and Mads Mikkelsen.
Has this first official look at Cumberbatch in character sold you on Doctor Strange? Let us know what you think of the costume design - and what you're hoping to see in the movie - in the comments section below.
Captain America: Civil War will release on May 6, 2016, followed by Doctor Strange – November 4, 2016; Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 – May 5, 2017; Spider-Man – July 28, 2017; Thor: Ragnarok – November 3, 2017; Black Panther – February 16, 2018; The Avengers: Infinity War Part 1 – May 4, 2018; Ant-Man and the Wasp – July 6, 2018; Captain Marvel – March 8, 2019; The Avengers: Infinity War Part 2 – May 3, 2019; Inhumans – July 12, 2019; and as-yet untitled Marvel movies on May 1, July 10 and November 6, 2020.

Rock en Seine 2016!
By Kayla Flores
Wow what a weekend! This year's Rock en Seine truly set a standard for summer music festivals. With various activities, food, bars, and more along with one of the best line ups for rock music, Rock en Seine was a smash hit!
Friday's big acts being The Last Shadow Puppets, Breakbot, Two Door Cinema Club, Clutch, and Damien Jr. Gong Marley. Amongst the big names, Friday truly held an impressive list. Saturday was not disappointing either, with great acts including Wolfmother, Beau, Bring Me The Horizon, Grand Blanc, La Femme, Edward Sharpe and The Magnetic Zeros, L7, and Massive Attack. Wolfmother truly rocked out and engaged with the crowd. Beau performed at the Pression Live stage drawing in fesitval goers with their eclectic sound. Heather and Emma of Beau, had great energy on stage. Beau even surprised fans with a new song! Throughout the terrible heat, attendees were able to stay cool with snow cones, ice cream, and sporadic water fights! It was quite a fun time.
With the intense heat continuing into Sunday's festivities, the staff continued to make a bearable environment by providing splash zones near the stages as well as the whole park held water stations allowing festival goers to fill up and stay hydrated. Sunday started off with Maestro who was unique in his sound and kept the early crowd entertained. Blues Pills performed on the main stage and drew in a large crowd, despite the heat, with a high number of music lovers taking shelter in the shade while their favorite bands performed. Kevin Morby was excellent in his ability to pull a crowd with his beautiful voice. KillASon is a French rapper, whom performed all his work in English attracting the international crowd. He truly is a performer as he danced all around the stage and entertained everyone in the audience. Going from the rap world to the heart of Harlem with Gregory Porter allowed for a great transition to calm down once again. The saxophone and piano skills of his band were exceptional and captured the majority of festival goers as he paid tribute to the lives lost in the world this past year. Following the wonderful jazz, we moved to see Miike Snow, an up and coming hit maker in the electro pop world. With many hits already, Miike Snow showed his versatility and performed a great show. Then it was time to reminisce of the simpler times in the early 2000s for any American teenager, it was time for Sum 41. Performing all their early hits, as well as announcing an album release in October, the crowd was ecstatic jumping up and down and singing along to all of Sum 41's hit songs as well as recent work.
After using up quite a bit of energy, it was time to grab some food. Dining options at Rock en Seine were endless. International options including cuisines from South America, Africa, Europe, Asia, as well as North America. Essentially a taste of the world. We decided to hit the Burrito Truck creating beautiful chicken burritos and nachos with jalapenos as well as grabbing some refreshing beer. Finishing up our grub, we ran over to see the one, the only, the legend. Iggy Pop. In true fashion, Iggy got the crowd rowdy and loud! It was a special event to see this man perform live. With such energy and excitement, we caught up with CHVRCHES and calmed down to their synthpop sound. The final act was none other than, Foals. Having the opportunity to see them live at a festival earlier this summer, it was awesome to end the summer with Foals again. What a treat. These guys truly speak to the crowd with their high energy, engaging conversation pieces, and all around great vibes.
Rock en Seine was everything and more. With great staff, amazing food, the best line up of artists, and a thought out layout allowed for ease for festival goers. Acoustics were on point allowing performances to be held in similar time slots, but not interrupting each other.
Great job, until next summer. Rock en Seine 2016, rock on!

Raising the Disembodied
This is my Pac Man painting for the i am 8 bit show coming up at Gallery 1988.
This is awesome! Pac Man was my favorite game on Atari growing up as a kid... makes me wanna eat a power pellet and munch on some ghosties. Great work as always girls!

Sorry that my gallery isn't up to your Los Angeles standard. Sorry that we don't have "lines" at our bar. Sorry we don't look at you in the eyes. Sorry that I had to erase my 1st comment. Sorry I made a grammatical error.
If Pac-Man is so much of a man, why doesn't he have big muscles!?
Who is this "anonymous" person who keeps posting comments on your blog? Will he not reveal himself/herself?
The radio does not have a soul, and yet there is a radio ghost that these people are talking to.
How strange! I would have preferred to see the pretzels, oranges, and strawberries that are a staple of this fan-favorite video game.

Tout le monde et son chien?
A quick question for those whose grasp of idiomatic French is better than mine! If I translate "everyone and his dog" literally, will my french neighbours fall about laughing? Is there an equivalent phrase in the French language? Better still, is it time to invent one?
Chaque fermier et sa vache...
By the way, Happy New Year all.

Following the recent abhorrent terrorist attacks in Paris by extremists, fear has spread throughout our country, largely in part due to misinformation. And this fear has generated, rekindled, and exacerbated feelings of xenophobia, Islamophobia, and racism within our communities towards our neighbors.
The individuals who committed these acts of terrorism were part of a small fraction of people claiming to be Muslim; and have subsequently, wrongly, come to represent an entire group of people. At this critical juncture, we should be uniting as a community. Instead, people with a political platform are spewing hateful rhetoric that only deepens our division. It's shameful and unconscionable.
As a humanitarian and staff member at Freedom House—a Detroit based organization providing comprehensive services to indigent survivors of persecution from around the world at no charge—hateful rhetoric doesn't sit well with me.
So let's clear a few things up: a "refugee" is an individual outside of her/his country of origin who has a well-founded fear of being persecuted on account of race, religion, nationality, political opinion, or membership within a particular social group and is unable or unwilling to avail her-/himself to the protection of that country.
As it relates to the United States, the term "refugee" often refers to resettled refugees, or individuals who have already proven to meet the aforementioned definition prior to arrival. Such people have gone through a rigorous vetting process complete with extensive background and security checks by multiple U.S. intelligence agencies, as well as thorough health screenings—a process that takes well over 18-months.
Once in the U.S., these refugees have a legal protected status and are entitled to eight-months of mainstream public assistance through the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' Office of Refugee Resettlement. They also receive a work permit upon arrival, social security number, and are eligible for state identification. While support mechanisms are in place, their journey of perseverance is far from over.
At Freedom House, we help asylum seekers. The term "asylum seeker" is by definition the same as a refugee. However, they apply for protected status while on our soil. To that end, they are not entitled to any of the aforementioned benefits, services, or documents that resettled refugees receive.
Asylum seekers like refugees come from all over the world. They come from countries desecrated by corruption and violence, where presidents have been in power for decades, where you're gambling with your life to support another candidate, and where it's literally illegal to be LGBT (e.g. Uganda, Syria, Jamaica). And they are people who in the face of danger courageously stepped forward in the name of democracy in their respective countries.
Reaching safety is unquestionably the ultimate end goal for asylum seekers and refugees and the allure of the "American Dream" gives them hope for a new beginning. To deny Syrian, or any other, refugees this dream is to deny them hope for a new beginning and their inherent dignity and human rights.
We are a country founded by people fleeing persecution – people who today would have been asylum seekers or refugees. And in the days ahead, we hope that our fellow citizens continue to withhold America's legacy as a place of compassion and refuge for all people, regardless of one's nationality, religion, political opinion, race, or sexuality.
I know it's possible. I see this compassion every day at Freedom House, and I urge you to see compassion within yourself.

The richest people in the world have gotten poorer, just like the rest of us. This year the world's billionaires have an average net worth of $3 billion, down 23% in 12 months. The world has 793, down from 1,125 a year ago.
After slipping in recent years, the U.S. is regaining its dominance as a repository of wealth. Americans account for 44% of the money and 45% of the list's slots, up seven and three percentage points from last year, respectively. Bill Gates lost $18 billion but regained his title as the world's richest man. Warren Buffett, last year's No. 1, saw his fortune decline $25 billion as shares of Berkshire Hathaway fell nearly 50% in 12 months. Mexican telecom titan Carlos Slim Helu maintains his spot in the top three but lost $25 billion.
While 656 moguls lost money in the past year, 44 added to their fortunes. Those who made money did so by catering to budget-conscious consumers (discount retailer Uniqlo's Tadashi Yanai), predicting the crash (investor John Paulson) or cashing out in the nick of time (Cirque du Soleil's Guy Laliberte). Another 38 joined our rankings for the first time, and three former billionaires returned to the list.

Some are calling it the "French Laundry" of libraries.
The Redwood City Library announced this week it won a five-star rating from the Library Journal Index of Public Library Service, the premier public library national rating system instituted by the Library Journal.
That makes the library on Middlefield Road the top-rated library in San Mateo County, and also the top-rated library among all mid-sized and large libraries in the entire country, meaning that Redwood City beat out Los Angeles and New York.
"I'm very proud of our library staff, and I urge our entire community to share in congratulating them on this great honor," said Redwood City Mayor Alicia Aguirre said in a statement. "We have worked hard to make the library a cutting-edge, engaging, and inviting place for the community. This rating really recognizes our success, and shines a wonderful national spotlight on our library, and our city."
Aside from books, DVDS and the regular stuff that libraries offer, this library also offers library offers an e-reader "petting zoo" to give devices a try. There are also 1,400 volunteers who spend their time helping patrons enjoy their library time.
Mother Lisa Espy loves coming with her children every week. "I love that it is so open and fun and the kids can run around," she said. She appreciates the wide diversity of books and computer games her children can utlizie.
Only two libraries in California achieved the five star rating, and Redwood City's received the highest numerical score. Santa Monica was the other library.
Scores are based on per capita measurements including number of items borrowed, number of visits, number and types of programs offered, attendance at activities, level of public Internet use, and other elements. Library officials pointed out that this means that the library's exemplary ranking is also a recognition that the people of Redwood City are very involved and engaged with their library, taking full advantage of all the wonderful programs and materials available.
Only two libraries in California got five stars, with Redwood City's gaining the highest numerical score in the state. Only six other library systems in the San Francisco Bay Area were star rated at all, with Redwood City the only one getting the top rank of five stars.

Will McConnell's big campaign cash haul scare off Democrats?
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell's 2020 re-election campaign raised $2.1 million in the first three months of the year, a record for the veteran senator that puts any potential challengers on notice that he intends to wage an aggressive effort.
Though McConnell doesn't yet have a Democratic opponent and seems unlikely to face a repeat primary challenger, the Kentucky Republican remains a top target for national Democrats. He not only holds the Senate's most powerful job, but Democrats still fault him for refusing to have the Senate consider Merrick Garland, President Barack Obama's 2016 Supreme Court nominee.
The campaign is set to submit its first quarter fundraising data to the Federal Election Commission and will report cash on hand of $5.6 million. Complete figures were not yet available.
"Sen. McConnell has begun this election cycle in a familiar place with strong support and a formidable war chest," said his campaign manager, Kevin Golden. "This is the strongest fundraising quarter to start a cycle of his career and we intend to keep the momentum rolling."
Democrats said they were not concerned. "No amount of special interest money will change the fact that Mitch McConnell is deeply unpopular in his home state for working to gut pre-existing conditions coverage and end Medicare and Social Security as we know it," said Stewart Boss, .Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee national press secretary.
The total raised over the first three months of the fundraising quarter in 2019 by three McConnell entities — McConnell Senate Committee, Bluegrass PAC and McConnell for Majority Leader — is $2.8 million.
The new total tops the then-record $1.8 million McConnell's Senate committee raised during the first three months of 2013 when it looked likely that he'd face a Republican primary challenger in 2014.
Republican Matt Bevin, who ran against McConnell that year, spent more than $5 million and attracted support from a host of conservative fundraising groups.
McConnell spent more than $10 million to hold off Bevin, who is now governor, and went on to raise nearly $31 million for his 2014 re- election, easily defeating Democrat Alison Lundergan Grimes, who raised nearly $19 million.
Democrats are eager to find a candidate to take on McConnell in 2020, but no top tier challenger has jumped in yet. Democratic Minority Leader Chuck Schumer of New York has reached out to Amy McGrath, a Democratic star who lost a Kentucky congressional race in 2018.
Conservatives who viewed McConnell as insufficiently conservative have mostly shied away from taking him on again as he's earned Trump's support by prioritizing the president's judicial nominations, including ensuring that Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh was confirmed to the Supreme Court by making it easier for the Republican-dominated Senate to limit debate.
Though never terribly popular in Kentucky, McConnell is a sharp-elbowed competitor and began pulling together a political team last summer that includes Golden, a field representative for McConnell's 2014 team in eastern Kentucky who oversaw Tennessee Republican Marsha Blackburn's successful 2018 Senate campaign.

I'm A Celeb viewers were quick to hail Gavin & Stacey star Larry Lamb as a 'silver fox' when the show returned on our screens last night.
But it seems that Larry's way with the ladies has been long established – after he previously admitted to bedding a NUN who had been celibate for 18 years.
Writing in his 2011 memoir Mummy's Boy, the 69-year-old revealed all about a liason with a nun called Therese in the 1970s after the end of his marriage to second wife Jacquie Parris.
Larry wrote: 'It was madness. I was pretty rampant back then but, as she used to laugh, "Larry, I've got 18 years to catch up – 18 lost years."
'We spent a lot of time together that summer and I think I might have helped her with about nine of them.'
Heavens above!
Larry also opened up about a brief fling with two Spanish sisters while he worked in Madrid in 1984, describing it as 'the most unbelievable time of my life.'
But while he may have been a lothario in his younger years, Larry Lamb has developed a Superman reputation on I'm A Celeb – after saving Gogglebox star Scarlett Moffatt when her canoe capsized.
Pretty heroic, right?
I'm A Celebrity returns tonight at 9pm.

Our dentists have the tools and training required to keep decay and disease from harming your teeth and gums. A healthy smile contributes to a healthy body by decreasing your chances of inflammation and other serious medical issues. Call our trusted office to make an appointment right away.
How Can You Help Your Child Take Care of Their Teeth?
You need to set a good example by showing your child how to maintain healthy teeth and gums. Many parents are unaware that the importance of dental hygiene for their children needs to be made clear at an early age. Experts in dentistry recommend that your child visit a dentist for their first dental examination before their first birthday and then return twice a year for dental examinations and cleanings. Some kids get upset about seeing the dentist or caring for teeth at home, so we have come up with some helpful ideas to improve their dental mindset. Try taking activity books to appointments to preoccupy your child during treatment or make dental care into a fun dance party. Feel free to call us for more oral hygiene tips to improve your child's outlook about taking care of their teeth.
What Kind of Oral Hygiene Routine Should You Follow?
Your daily dental hygiene regimen should include brushing your teeth with a soft-bristled toothbrush and a fluoridated toothpaste. Brush your teeth in the morning, after eating throughout the day, and before bed at night. Floss at least once a day to remove the food and plaque trapped between your teeth that can lead to decay and disease. If you would like more advice on taking care of your teeth at home, call our office and ask our friendly staff.

NOTE: As of June 2017, bellycasting services are currently only available for clients who have already booked doula services.
Having a belly cast made is a fun, creative way to preserve and remember your pregnant body. Basically, a belly cast is a plaster mold of a pregnant belly. It's a beautiful, tangible and long-lasting reminder of your pregnancy and what it was like to carry your baby.
When your cast is finished, you can paint it, decorate it, glitter-ize it, have attendees at your baby shower sign it, take photos of your baby inside once he or she arrives, hang it on your wall…the possibilities are endless. It's also fun to have an older child help you decorate it, or even wait until your baby is older to help paint and decorate with you.
My bellycasting service includes setup, cleanup, all supplies and materials, and the finished belly cast. It takes about an hour from start to finish. The best part? You don't have to do anything but sit back and relax—no sweeping up sticky bits of plaster or bumbling through the instructions on a casting kit you got at Babies'R'Us.
To cast bellies, I use nontoxic plaster gauze in the comfort and privacy of your own home. I recommend doing the belly cast anywhere from 34-40 weeks (with 36-38 weeks as a sweet spot) but it can be done any time throughout your pregnancy. Older children are welcome to be present and participate in the process!
The fee for bellycasting is $85. If you would like me to sand and finish the cast (requiring additional time and additional trips), an extra fee of $25 is added.
If you're interested in making a belly cast, email me at email@example.com.

It's been a roller coaster ride
Hi! This spring has been wild in many ways and I have worked so hard for many things. I traveled to London six times because I wanted to see my possibilities there. I returned home yesterday and for the first time in a while I don't know exactly when I'm going back to London again.
Now I am concentrating to other important things such as my new music! This spring has been so crazy that I haven't been able to give all my time to working on my music. But now all my school work and London work is done and all I have is time!
So anyone who is waiting to hear my new music, it's coming - don't worry!

The report is based on the results of a major international study of graduate employment some five years after graduation. The report examines differences between European and UK graduates' patterns of employment and characteristics of their current work when age differences are taken into account. Overall UK graduates were both younger and older at entry to higher education compared with Europe as a whole. Such differences, when aligned with the longer duration of courses elsewhere in Europe, results in UK graduates being much younger on graduation than European graduates generally.
Regardless of age on graduation, UK graduates were more likely to have been faced with changes in their workplaces; were much more likely to supervise staff; and to have responsibility for assessing others' work. In fact, many of the overall similarities and differences in employment experiences of UK and European graduates reported in other reports in this series remained, even when age on graduation was taken into account.

Today, while I should have been working on my WIP (which I did! I swear I did! I wrote a few pages, *shrugs*), I actually got struck by a different muse. One who I haven't had a visit with since high school actually. Strange. Here is a product of that madness:
It doesn't make sense.
Every smart woman
Would know I made the right choice in letting you go,
In walking away
To find someone who wanted me
Needed me
With the same desperation that I wanted you
Needed you.
Unhealthy obsession
I try to push it away but it lingers.
Stupid woman that I am
Led by emotions I despise.
I guess I'm still holding on to something that never existed
Wishing against the wrong star that heaven had listened
To the quiet sobs of a broken, empty heart.
Mark me,
Place the scarlet A across my soul.
I'm tainted, baby
You didn't buy me whole.
So much of me was missing
The part I left behind with him
If I feel distant while we're kissing
It's because I hate myself for loving him.
You deserve so much better than me
Half hearted love
How could I ever give back what you've given me?
You should be the object of someone's adoration,
Someone beautiful and smart.
A woman
As much your equal as your complement
With enough fiery passion
To make you the center of her universe.
That's not me
Though I wish so badly that it was
It can't be me, baby
I'm an empty shell of who I was
I want the safety and the happiness you promise
With each look in my eyes
But I don't deserve a man who has to compromise
You think I can make you happy
Maybe I can
But can you live in the shadow of another man?
You shouldn't have to,
You're a better man than he ever was
Don't try and compete, baby
I'm just a lost cause.
Haunted by a memory
That never really happened.
The past is twisted, thwarted into a vision of what I wanted it to be.
Don't mourn the loss, baby,
You never really wanted me
At least not the woman that I am now
The one I was before,
The one with dreams and aspirations
With a smile meant to shatter the strongest of men
That woman died, baby
Burned straight through the skin
By the heated touch of a boy,
Not yet a man
Full of empty promises
And mixed signs
To a girl those promises are heaven, baby
Those signs mean everything
She wants them to.
Warped mirror
Took me straight to Wonderland.
My Mad Hatter drugged my tea
I couldn't see, baby
Couldn't see past the sea of ocean blue
His eyes, his hands
The warmth his body could exude
I love you
I do
And yet I know I don't love you like I should.
I'm still in Wonderland, baby,
Trapped inside my head.
I hate myself for loving him
When I should love you more instead.
I should learn to play an instrument so I can write my own music. I have like 3 songs I've ever written. I'd love to sing my own stuff. Too bad I'm like absolutely awful with stuff like instruments. Takes me FOREVER to learn.
Anyway, that's one of two poems I wrote today. Two, for the first time in over 5 years. Strange.

text: The path to lower cooling bills starts with your thermostat. By Andrea Browne Taylor, Online Editor July 28, 2016 Keeping cool can prove costly. The average electric bill tops $400 during the summer, according to government estimates, with air conditioning accounting for much of the expense.See Also: 6 Home Projects That Save Energy and Money The simplest way to lower your home's cooling costs is to raise the temperature on your thermostat. Setting it at between 76 and 78 degrees can reduce your monthly bill by as much as 30%. Want to save up to 10% more? Use a programmable thermostat to raise and lower the temperature automatically depending on when you're home. You can pick one up for as little as $35. ("Smart" thermostats run about $200.) Finally, if your air conditioner is on its last leg, consider replacing it with an energy-efficient model. Not only will you save money in the long run, but you might also qualify for a $300 federal tax credit. A/Cs typically last about 15 years. (Go to EnergyStar.gov or IRS.gov for more information on the 2016 energy tax credit.) Discover more ways to save on your home cooling bills.

For a show about nothing, Seinfeld sure amounted to a whole lot of something. Not only does the 1989-98 NBC sitcom rank at or near the top on many lists of the top TV shows of all time, but so many actors who appeared on the show were able to use it as a springboard to more success. And some (a few in particular, as you'll see) used it as a springboard to slightly stranger things. A couple more, sadly, are no longer with us.
Jerry Seinfeld himself, of course, has become a near-billionaire thanks to the show and remains in the public eye just as much as he wants to. Find out more of what he and his co-stars have been up to since the show ended, from Puddy to Peterman, Costanza parents to Seinfeld parents, and more.
Let's take a look at Where are they now? The cast of Seinfeld.
Patrick Warburton's David Puddy, first appearing in season six, was a man of few words, but when he did speak it was deep-voiced and straight to the point, no matter how odd his point might have been. When Elaine, his girlfriend, was worried she'd go to hell for not being religious, he simply said, "I'm not the one going to hell." Warburton's squinty-eyed performance was perfect, and it has led to a ton of work since.
He quickly jumped to a recurring role on NewsRadio in 1998 and played the lead character in the short-lived live action The Tick series in 2001-02, and he was a regular on the 2003-06 sitcom Less than Perfect. But his most notable role has been as Jeff for seven seasons on Rules of Engagement. But that's not even mentioning his copious voice work on various animated series, from his regular role as Joe Swanson on Family Guy to Kim Possible. His new NBC series, Crowded, premiered last year, and next up he'll star as author Lemony Snicket in the Netflix series A Series of Unfortunate Events.
That voice. Seinfeld was home to so many character actors with distinctive voices: you could just hear a breath from John O'Hurley, Warburton and Estelle Harris and know exactly who they were. We first saw O'Hurley, with his booming, melodramatic voice, as fashion maven J. Peterman in the sixth season. As Elaine's boss at the J. Peterman catalogue, he showed eccentric taste in decades-old cake and overreacted to poppy seeds, claiming he, too, "once fell under the spell of opium."
O'Hurley has been just about everywhere since his 20 episodes of Seinfeld. You almost can't turn on a TV without seeing him or, more likely, hearing his voice. Not surprisingly, he does a lot of cartoon voice work, including SpongeBob, Scooby-Doo and Phineas and Ferb. As an actor he's appeared on the soap All My Children (2011), among many others. But as himself, he was runner-up on the first season of Dancing with the Stars, then won a subsequent rematch. As a host, he helmed the classic game show Family Feud from 2006-10, and you can see him every year since 2002 co-hosting the National Dog Show telecast.
Uncle Leo, Jerry's mother's brother, as played by Len Lesser, was the epitome of the crotchety uncle, overly proud of his middle-management son and overly sensitive to just about anything that could be remotely interpreted as a social faux pas – not the least of which being not saying, "Hello."
Following the role in which he equated being a good uncle with telling Jerry he had beautiful penmanship as a child, Lesser continued to get a ton of character work, just as he had since 1949. He popped up on nine episodes of Everybody Loves Raymond, showed up on ER and last appeared on Castle in 2009. Sadly, he succumbed to a battle with pneumonia and cancer in 2011, passing away at age 88.
Everybody's favorite retired raincoat salesman and inventor of the beltless trenchcoat, Morty Seinfeld (Jerry's dad) was played by Barney Martin in 20 episodes. Although he wasn't the original. In Morty's first appearance in the second episode of the series, he was portrayed by Phil Burns. Morty did not suffer fools, especially fools named Jack Klompus.
Martin's career goes way back to the 50s, as a stand-in for Jackie Gleason on The Honeymooners and working as a character actor constantly over five decades. After Seinfeld, though, he was fairly quiet. Unfortunately, he battled lung cancer and passed away in 2005 at the age of 82.
Not much phased Helen Seinfeld, Jerry's mom on the show. She kept pretty cool, for the most part, as played by Liz Sheridan, unless her son was caught making out during Schindler's List. When she wasn't visiting Jerry in New York, she was just chilling in Florida at the Del Boca Vista retirement complex, dealing with Klompus and his silly controversies.
Sheridan was the consummate character actress through the late '70s and '80s until scoring the role of Helen Seinfeld, appearing 21 times on the show. Since then, she's been fairly quiet on the acting front, scoring the occasional guest spot on TV shows. But she hasn't been quiet altogether: in 2000 she published a memoir called Dizzy & Jimmy: My Life with James Dean: A Love Story. In it, she claims she and the immortal heartthrob were each other's first loves. And on screen there has been one notable appearance, when she starred in a love scene with Andy Griffith in the 2009 film Play the Game, when she was 80 and he was 83. She's still with us thankfully, at age 87.
If you've seen one episode of Seinfeld with Estelle Harris playing George's orange-haired mom Estelle, chances are you can hear her screaming voice in your head right now. And it's simultaneously giving you a headache and cracking you up, shouting, "I'm not taking advice from some girl from Long Island!"
Since her last scream of maternal disappointment on the show, Harris has worked a lot as a guest star in film and TV, including a recurring role on The Suite Life of Zack and Cody and as a series regular on the 12-episode web series Greetings from Home in 2012. But it's her voice work – not surprisingly, considering that screechy, powerful voice – that's stood out. While her voice has been featured in many animated series, her most high profile job has been as Mrs. Potato Head in Toy Story 2, Toy Story 3 — and she'll reprise the role again in 2018's Toy Story 4.
We just have to say, keep reading to the end – the best is yet to come. Actress Heidi Swedberg first appeared as NBC executive Susan Ross during the fourth season of Seinfeld, and parlayed what seemed like a minor role into a long-term guest spot as George's fiancee, appearing in 28 episodes. That is, before George accidentally killed her off thanks to his cheap, toxic wedding invitation envelopes.
She continued to be a working character actor, making guest appearances on everything from ER to Wizards of Waverly Place. That is, until about 2010, and that's where this story gets good. As a child living in Hawaii, she played ukulele, and got serious about it again in the late 2000's. Now she plays ukulele in not one but two bands: Heidi Swedberg and the Sukey Jump Band and the Smoking Jackets. Yes, this is for real.
Who would've thought in the '60s and '70s, when Jerry Stiller starred with his wife Anne Meara in the comedy duo Stiller & Meara, that he'd go on to introduce the fake holiday Festivus to the world? Not to mention achieving even more fame as one half of the fictional comedy team of Frank and Estelle Costanza, who proved that the couple who yells together (loudly, and in everybody's faces) stays together.
The father of Ben Stiller continued his late-career surge immediately after Seinfeld, playing another iconic crotchety sitcom dad, Arthur Spooner, on The King of Queens for nearly 200 episodes. He's made a ton of guest spots since then in TV and film, but arguably his most high-profile role since The King of Queens was his role in his son's Zoolander films as stuck-in-the-70s agent Maury Ballstein. Though his beloved wife passed away last year, Stiller is still making people laugh, and will turn 89 in June.
By far the most frequent guest star on Seinfeld, with 45 appearances as Jerry's arch-nemesis and irritating mailman Newman, character actor Wayne Knight got plenty of work before the show, but the popularity of the character seriously spiked his workload after the show ended. He quickly became a semi-regular on 3rd Rock from the Sun as Officer Don. From there, he's made approximately one million guest appearances on everything from That 70's Show to CSI to Hot in Cleveland. Okay, we're exaggerating, but he's made a lot of guest appearances.
Knight has also been an in-demand voice talent, with a key role in Toy Story 2 and as a series regular on Xiaolin Showdown, among dozens of others. He's even done some theater work, most recently playing Santa in the Broadway production of Elf: The Musical in 2012. His most recent screen success was playing former professional bowler and internet salesman Haskell Lutz on TV Land's The Exes, which lasted four seasons (2011-15). While he was victim of an internet death hoax in 2014, he is in fact alive and well, happily married with a young son.
More than any of the four main cast members, Michael Richards has had trouble getting his feet planted firmly anywhere in film or television. Part of the reason is typecasting: nobody can see him as anything but the lanky, wiry-haired, bumbling, fumbling, hare-brained next-door neighbor, Cosmo Kramer. He was just too good and the character was so one-of-a-kind. The other reason surely has something to do with his unfortunate caught-on-video racial outbursts while taking a stab at stand-up comedy in 2006.
There were a couple of very unsuccessful attempts at starring in a sitcom. He was the first of the main cast to attempt to headline a sitcom, with 2000's seven-episode The Michael Richards Show, and he was a regular on the Kirstie Alley TV Land vehicle Kirstie in 2013-14, but it was done after one 12-episode season. Most recently, his buddy Jerry Seinfeld handed him an amusing role as grey-wigged Crackle president Dick Corcoran in a short on his web series, Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee.
After playing a character as iconic as George Costanza for nine seasons, it's not surprising that Jason Alexander has had trouble convincing viewers to believe him as another character on a regular basis. He's tried over the years, but nothing has quite stuck. We can imagine him shouting, Costanza-like, "Jason is getting upset!"
He tried starring in short-lived series like Bob Patterson (2001, nine episodes), and Listen Up (2004-05, 22 episodes), but they just didn't get over the hump. To his credit, though, he's carved a nice little niche for himself as a voice artist and guest star. Currently, he's got a recurring role on Fox's The Grinder, as the producer of the show-within-the-show, always trying to pull Rob Lowe's character back into the Hollywood world he's trying to escape.
No, Larry David could never be considered part of the cast of Seinfeld, per se, but he was so integral to the show that we had to include him on this list. He, of course, co-created the show with Jerry Seinfeld and wrote 62 episodes, including classics (but aren't they all classics?) like "The Contest." He occasionally cameoed on the show as a character in a B-movie Jerry watches, as Frank Costanza's cape-wearing lawyer, and he regularly provided the voice of George's boss and New York Yankees owner George Steinbrenner.
But back then, Larry David wasn't a household name. He was just the behind the scenes guy on Seinfeld. Then, in 1999 he starred in the HBO special Larry David: Curb Your Enthusiasm, which turned into the long-running, critically acclaimed, mostly-improvised series Curb Your Enthusiasm the following year. He plays himself, as a lovable loser who always seems to say and do the wrong thing, and it's easy to see how the George Costanza character was based on him. The seventh season hilariously largely focused on a Seinfeld reunion, bringing back all four members of the regular cast and even showing new scenes on the Seinfeld set. Curb hasn't aired a new season since the eighth in 2011, with no current plans in place for season 8.
Lately, David has made waves as an over-the-top version of Democratic presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders on Saturday Night Live, a persona that's not all that different from the one he portrays on Curb.
It's a shame about Julia Louis-Dreyfus, isn't it? The way she completely dropped off the Earth after Seinfeld, never to win another Emmy. "Get out!" as her character, Elaine Benes, would say. This is all a lie, of course. Arguably, nobody in the cast has been more successful with projects unrelated to the show than the enormously talented woman who played the high-banged, friend-pushing ex-girlfriend of Jerry. She earned one Emmy along with six other nominations for her work in the role.
The one main actor who didn't appear in the pilot, Louis-Dreyfus leaped from Seinfeld to star in the short-lived series Watching Ellie, where each episode played out in real time. Following that, she had a recurring role on Arrested Development as a blind-but-not-really-blind lawyer and occasionally popped up on buddy Larry David's Curb Your Enthusiasm as herself.
In 2006, she shot the first of 88 episodes of the underrated sitcom The New Adventures of Old Christine, which netted her another Emmy and four other noms. After its cancellation, it took just two years for her to reappear on HBO's Veep in 2012, as a cranky Vice President of the United States and, later, President of the United States. She's still cranking out top-notch TV there, two more Emmys and five seasons in (the fifth season just premiered on April 24).
Back in 1989, before the premiere of Seinfeld, Jerry Seinfeld was a successful touring stand-up comic, known for his appearances on The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson. But the show, of course, boosted him to mega-stardom. Once the series ended, he almost immediately embarked on a sold-out stand-up tour and recorded an HBO special called I'm Telling You This for the Last Time, in which he essentially purged all his old material.
With a net worth of over $800 million, Seinfeld lives and breathes stand-up comedy, and has often seemed content to do little more than that and go to Mets games – and good on him. However, he did write and star in the moderately successful animated film Bee Movie in 2007, and he occasionally does guest spots on friends' shows. But his biggest project since Seinfeld has been his web series, Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee. The concept there is pretty self-explanatory: it combines his love of classic cars with his love of stand-up comedy and his love of coffee, although he occasionally welcomes guests outside of the comedy world – most notably President Barack Obama. Its seventh season finished earlier this year.
Which Seinfeld stars do you want to see more of? Will the long-awaited reunion ever happen? Let us know your thoughts in the comments.

A yeast infection is not something people like to talk about. Some women are so ashamed of having a yeast infection that they do not even go to the doctor. This article will provide you with what you should know about yeast infections.
Change your clothes after working out and getting sweaty. This can be very beneficial, as it can give you a fresh foundation so that there is less of a chance of your environment yielding a yeast infection.
Yeast Infections
If you keep getting yeast infections, you might have to reconsider bath products you use. Avoid soaps and cleansers that contain fragrances and dyes. Any of these can alter the routine chemistry and pH balance of the vaginal interior, opening the door to yeast infections. Use products that are not very strong and hypoallergenic.
Many people don't realize just how important acidophilis is for women. This can be found in yogurt and can help fight off a yeast infection. When you purchase yogurt with this live culture, it is important to remember to look for sugar-free varieties. Sugar can actually make your infection worse.

Try eating yogurt. Grab some yogurt if you start noticing any yeast infection symptoms. Yogurt contains acidophilus cultures, which are healthy bacteria. When you have a wealth of healthy bacteria throughout your genital tract, your body has the defenses it needs to reduce the symptoms and remove the infection.
Frequently consume sugar-free yogurt and garlic. When relieving the symptoms, or preventing the symptoms, of a yeast infection is necessary, garlic is great tool. Non-odorous garlic pills can be purchased at most drug stores. Furthermore, consuming two full cups of live culture, sugar-free yogurt each day should help to prevent yeast infections, as well as treat existing infections.
Immune System
Get your rest at night. The body's natural immune system helps defend against yeast infections. On the other hand, not getting enough sleep weakens your immune system, which increases your odds of a yeast infection. Focus on keeping your sleep schedule regular, and avoid caffiene or too much exercise before bedtime so your sleep will be of good quality.
Do not wear tight clothes and man-made materials. Tight clothing can disrupt the airflow and can house moisture. Yeast loves a wet, warm place to grow. Your clothing should be made of cotton or other breathable materials, and should have a comfortable fit.
If you get yeast infections a lot, make sure you introduce probiotics to your diet. Acidophilus can help balance your body from the inside out, which can help you become more healthy. Probiotics are available for purchase in both powder and pill formats.
Be proactive about preventing a yeast infection when you are on antibiotics. Antibiotics are often prescribed to combat bacteria and viruses, though they can cause imbalances in vaginal pH. Good bacteria helps to keep your vagina pH balanced and free of yeast infections.
Try not to wear pants that are too tight or skinny. While tight clothing may look good, they don't let your crotch breathe like it needs to. Yeast infections develop in warm, moist environments with little circulation. To reduce your risk, wear loose-fitting clothing.
Wash the vaginal area using a soap that is made for that area. A variety of options exist today. This type of soap will help protect the pH balance of your vagina and will not cause dryness. Selecting these soaps rather than the conventional soaps will ensure yeast infection stays away.
With a little homework, you can do yourself a lot of good when it comes to dealing with a yeast infection. Knowing about infections and how to treat them will come in handy if you develop one. What you've read has armed you for great success.

A new study has highlighted a shift in cloud uptake behaviour among enterprise decision makers within the Asia-Pacific market, with almost half of the region's IT leaders prioritising hybrid cloud over other forms of cloud infrastructure.
Findings from a Microsoft Asia-Pacific survey of 1200 IT leaders across 12 markets have revealed that 49 per cent of IT leaders in the local region are prioritising hybrid cloud over public-only or private-only cloud solutions for their organisations in the near future.
Microsoft undertook the study to understand how organisations in the region are evolving their IT infrastructure strategies to meet the needs of a digital business.
The survey found that currently, of the 49 per cent of IT leaders prioritising the hybrid cloud, nine out of 10 said they would prioritise an integrated hybrid cloud, with common management tools across both public and private cloud.
Meanwhile, about 40 per cent of respondents in Australia are already on the hybrid cloud journey, which is expected to increase to 49 per cent in the next 12 to 18 months.
Additionally, the study found that 49 per cent of respondents are still only using private cloud and 17 per cent are using purely public cloud solutions.
The survey results suggested that respondents were not likely to increase their investments in private or public-only cloud solutions, reinforcing the demand for a more integrated, hybrid approach, according to Microsoft.
The findings come as two local Microsoft partners, Dilignet and Cubesys, undertake two separate projects deploying Azure-based cloud solutions for the Victorian Institute of Teaching (VIT) and the Port Authority of New South Wales, respectively.
Systems integration and cloud computing specialist, Dilignet, has handled the first phase of the VIT's migration to the cloud, deploying Microsoft Operations Management Suite,along with the vendor's Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery (BCDR) solutions.
Responsible for regulating 120,000 registered teachers in Victoria, the VIT is in the midst of migrating its business applications to Microsoft Azure.
Dilignet's work with the VIT is part of the Institute's move to take on a suite of cloud-based services from Microsoft to create a "business and people-centred platform" with the aim of delivering operational efficiencies.
"We have worked closely with VIT helping to solve specific workload and organisational technology challenges," Dilignet director, Peter Lillywhite, said.
Meanwhile, Cubesys, was chosen by the Port Authority of NSW to work with it on a disaster recovery migration, which saw the Authority leverage Microsoft Operations Management Suite, Azure Site Recovery, and Azure Backup services.
The authority's on-premise production data centre now connects to the cloud disaster recovery through Azure ExpressRoute, with Cubesys delivering the disaster recovery process as a managed service.
As part of the deal, Cubesys also helped the authority set up a development and test environment on Azure and created a self-service portal for developers to manage Azure Virtual Machines.
"It provides the developers and testers with a one-stop shop where they don't have to deal with the complexity of setting up servers manually," the Port Authority's solutions development and services senior manager, Ian Chilton, said."And again, that comes back to the goal of bringing up services only when we need them and closing them down when we don't so that we get a much better, cost-effective usage of resources," he said.

As the last in a long line of demon slayers, Evie's destiny is to end the war that has raged for centuries between humans and demons.
Lucas, the half-Shadow Warrior half-human who was sent to kill her, has betrayed his own Brotherhood and his family to fight alongside her.
With an army of unhumans on their tail, Evie and Lucas are forced into an uneasy alliance with a group of rogue Hunters who offer protection and the promise of answers.
As the past is untangled and the dark history of the Hunters revealed, Evie discovers that severing the realms is going to require a lot more than just fighting. It's going to require a sacrifice – one that only she can make. …
More than realms will be severed.
I seriously cannot praise this enough; I'm debating whether I like this more or Losing Lila. I don't know. Maybe a tie? There's humor, some Twilight references that I'm sure we'll all appreciate and the experience is just so thrilling. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED guys! You must read it :)

The basis of all auto insurance is an estimate of the risk you will make a claim. Put simply, the higher the risk, the higher the premium rate you will be asked to pay. So, who are you, where do you live, where will you do most of your driving, and so on? The answers to these questions will set the rate. If you are a young person, coming to driving for the first time, the statistics show a high risk you will have an accident. At the other end of the age range, people over the age of 65 begin to lose their ability to react quickly in an emergency. Their eyesight also begins to dim. Again, the statistics show a rising trend of accidents, particular as people continue driving in their 70s. If you live in an inner city area where there are high rates of vehicle theft and vandalism, the cost of comprehensive cover will also be high and so on.
The quote system sets general auto insurance rates based on groups of people who have the same basic driving profiles. But, when it comes to you as an individual, you may not fit exactly into the group. So, by allowing you discounts, the rates can be made to match your personal profile more exactly.
Low mileage — no matter where you live, you will always be rewarded if you only drive short distances at off-peak times of the day. There are new pay-as-you-drive policies that depend on fitting technology to your vehicle to show when and how far you drive.
Low traffic conditions — if you live in a rural area where there's less traffic, the risk of an accident is lower. Even if you live in a city, only driving when the traffic is light and avoiding night driving reduces the risk of an accident.
Safe driving — many insurers reward you with a discount if you drive without making a claim.
Fitting safety equipment — the better equipped your vehicle to drive more safely, e.g. passive restraints, anti-lock brakes, etc. or prevent theft, the larger the discount.
Deductible — you pay the first element of every claim. The majority of drivers opt to pay the first $500.
Bundling — you will earn a discount if you have several vehicles or combine home with auto insurance at the same company.

Welcome to the second installment into my professional practice blog. Within this post there will be discussion and analysis into the ideals and functionality of contemporary design collectives within the industry. I will be putting this topic in the spotlight from my own personal experiences and opinions as well as those from professionals in the industry.
What is good and what is bad about life now, in 2017?
This area of debate was brought about by the brief that all the visual communication students were given which was just stated above. The one day project was subject to creating a front cover for either newspaper or magazine around the theme just stated. All the outcomes had to be the result of a group effort, which meant creating a small but temporary collective of illustrators, graphic designers and animators for the brief.
Initially being placed in the company of people you don't usually work with or have no interaction with was quite daunting, yet the awkwardness of bringing strangers together from other disciplines soon become the focus point that made us all feel more comfortable. Within my group were myself and another illustration student, and one graphics and animation student. After a brief period of getting to know each other and basically having a laugh to ease that annoying awkward silence all come together to plan our thoughts on what was the good, bad and the ugly of 2017.
(Sorry more clichés inbound).
By the end of our splurge of a mind map, it become clear that in contest with the other groups that become it had only been the first month of 2017, that the major themes were too few and mainstream to be original amongst the other groups.
Thoughts included:
(Warning- a certain current president is mentioned try not to cry too much.)
- Still being alive
- Another year of memes
- Mexico won't pay for trumps wall
- Article 50 has been delayed by the supreme courts
- President Trumps inaugural parade looked more like a state funeral
- Women Protests austerity became united
- Internet speeds are getting better
- Donald Trump was elected President of the united states of America
- Still a massive divide between the social classes
- No clear Brexit plan
- Freddo's are still outrageously expensive (Serious Crime)
- Politicians are out of touch
- NHS is failing
- Fascism is on the rise
- Trump bans people from 'Dangerous countries'
This was our process and outcome.
We as a group couldn't escape the temptation to mock the new American president Donald Trump, we combined satirical humour with serious provocative symbols. Our idea as you can view above puts a caricature of Mr Trump with a head excessively enlarged that represents how enormous his ego is or has been portrayed in the media. We wanted him to basically consume the article by blocking the headline out 'Deep in Trump' both as joke to his name by being crude in English slang; but also, to show his defiance to the media by his attack on them as 'fake news'. We decided that to visualise his many controversial stigmas that leech onto him like a shadow, we thought having multiple arms like a transcendent being would suffice. The idea of being a god is more of satirical joke to his own delusions or statements.
Although we did consider put out of context and in real world setting that this multiple armed form related to Hindu faith; therefore, may come across as an insult by portraying a man like Trump in a similar fashion to their worshiped deities.
My thoughts on the project were that the outcome was successful in that we combined the skills of visual problem solving from all disciplines while combining our graphic and illustrative talents to create a clear satirical piece. The shared commitment to a common opinion allowed for an efficient work flow as well as being enjoyable to do. From the experience, I gained a more creative motivation, be it from discussing other views or just working alongside other creative minds like a design super team. Yet there was as sense of reliability on others to get the job completed to a deadline.
In comparison to further brief in my illustration module of direct projects, we had a one day brief as group with solely illustration students, as you an see below the outcome had a more consistency visual language due to the colour scheme despite all of our different visual identities; whereas in the editorial brief it felt that the visual unity clashed slightly. Albeit there were both just as fun and enjoyable to work on with others in comparison to the solitude of working alone, mostly due to lack of pressure which can be shared in a collective.
I thought it would be interesting to compare my own thoughts against those of designers in the industry, to which I found some open and refreshing perspectives about the subject collective projects. As I pondered the question :
Can an illustrators work as a group despite being a solitary beings?
I found an article online which was written by Madeleine Morely on the site dubbed 'AIGA Eye on Design'. Within this article there was discussion about how modern illustrators should join collectives, boasting advantages of shared responsible, agreement towards ideas and deadlines, and social community to advise each other and learn from. Morely focuses on groups such as the Peep Show we bring together multidisciplinary members together on high end projects.
The common theme that I addressed where consistency is key when working as a group to create a complete piece of work is echoed within this article. Collectives like Peep Show and Biografktion are interviewed and mention that their attitudes as group comprise of a critique and nurturing I order to truly grow as a company of creatives as well as individual within the creative industry. It seems that this energy towards being involved in what seems to by hybrid company of creatives working towards a greater good essentially. Collectives seem to benefit as a team and as individuals from the family like experiences, its seemingly a constantly progressive state which I would want explore later in my life.
These positive ideals can be cross referenced with a VaroomLab journal entry written by Alice Moloney which was titled 'A new breed: How should we champion the mavericks and pioneers of the illustration industry?' She discusses how contemporary illustrators are now taught into creating a visual language while be deeply analytical in terms of having a strong problem solving prowess. Moloney is arguing that by our lone carers in illustration that we must adapt or adopt skills from the design spectrum to show that we are designers and not just artists.
Linking back to collectives, we can learn and develop these needed skills of design strategy and further technical skills like the full Adobe suite, just by working with other disciplines. The individual potential is just as bountiful as the collective goals of such groups; despite the reliability I mentioned before, the pros indefinitely out way the cons.
Ultimately, for future actions I would want to incorporate my self within collective projects to aid my own personal development as a lone illustrator, yet the communication and community of a group mission. This seems like a more professional form of escapism; away from the pressures of solitary freelancing which I would want to explore further own. Even at university doing one day projects, with friends and stranger as it builds up a networking persona through organic working, which I would want to carry on with others from my discipline in later years.
This revolution in the design industries that is unheard of in the mainstream can be backed by this quote by Madeleine Morely, sums up my opinions of this subject.
There have always been collectives, but the fact that so many formerly solo-going illustrators are banding together is telling. In some ways, it's another sign that illustration is mirroring the multidisciplinary design studio model. And as illustration is increasingly treated like a design solution rather than a decorative element, there's more need for larger collectives that can put their minds and pens together like an agency might.
