alright i had an idea for a series of illustrations, but the way i wanted to execute them have changed a lot in my head. this is an incarnate of one of them, that took me a lot of time because like every single step of the way i hated it. i'm finally just going to call it quits, scrap and rework the idea.
i'm doing a series of prints very loosely based off of this, this is 1/4…. this is more of a sketch, or concept work for them, though. i haven't uploaded any art in a long time, and i feel like my tumblr is dying and barren, so i guess you guys can have this even though i fucking hate it passionately.
i'm gonna work on the real prints soon. isn't it just so frustrating when you have an idea you can't really hash out though? i've been having such bad issues with that lately, and everyone in my life is basically constantly telling me how i need to draw more and make more, marketable art. "having art block" isn't a good enough answer for them, and it's really frustrating to deal with because people who don't draw don't understand how much of yourself you put into it and how hard it is to just do on command, and how much you don't believe in yourself. the amount of pressure i get to draw makes me not want to do it, like, ever. i'm trying to work past it, though, and i think part of that is letting this illustration go and leaving it in the unfinished state it is, and starting over with the idea.
ugh i can't even look at this anymore

The Maccabees are an indie rock band from London,England. They have released three albums so far, Colour It In in 2007, with a follow-up, Wall of Arms, released on 4 May 2009. Their most recent album Given to the Wild was released on 9 January 2012. Finishing only two new songs so far, their next album is expected for release in September 2014.
The band came up with the name by flicking through the Bible and picking out a random word. Despite adopting a name with religious connotations, lead singer Orlando Weeks has more recently affirmed, in an interview on Steve Lamacq's BBC Radio 1 show, that none of the band is religious. Their lyrics often include an atheistic theme, in particular their second album's title track, "Wall of Arms" and "All in Your Rows" from their debut album.

commercial ricotta cheese.
fresh ricotta is becoming more and more difficult to buy.
please recommend a preferred commercially available brand
for baking cheesecake. thanks, J
Making fresh ricotta is pretty easy, if you are inclined to do so. Melissa Clark did a video on it a while back:
I buy the store brand (shoprite) unless another brand is on sale. Works fine for eating, cooking, baking
re: mamachef
+1 on the Polly-O. Also use their whole milk mozz on pizza.
re: njmarshall55
i used to use polly-o, but it has gone downhill since being bought out by kraft. i no longer buy supermarket ricotta. ever.
re: mamachef
I agree that Polly-O is okay - Sorrento is slightly better, but homemade is 1,000,000 times better than any grocery store brand and SO easy that I never use grocery store anymore.
re: biondanonima
JOOC, how much milk yields how much cheese for homemade?
re: njmarshall55
not biodanonima, but 6 c. milk+2 c. cream yielded me about 4 c. cheese. And the whey can be used to make bread.
Lioni is the best I have come across. They are located in Brooklyn, NY but my WFM in Pennsylvania carries the brand.
re: Unkle Al
Thank you for the tip
Does that mean you have already tried sourcing through an Italian deli or specialty market fresh Italian cheeses? Other than the 365 Whole Foods brand already mentioned I would try an Italian market if you don't wish to make your own. Another idea is an Italian bakery or pizza restaurant that may be willing to sell you fresh ricotta directly.
Gioia ricotta is wonderful. If you stop by the factory late morning, early afternoon, it's sold still warm. Or you can buy it online.
Bellwether Farms makes several kinds, both whole milk or whey, and sheep or cow's milk.
re: Melanie Wong
I have no idea where the OP lives but right now Bellwether Farms is not open to the public and the first link you provided is coming up as unsecure for online ordering.
re: HillJ
That may be. If one is concerned, you can always call Gioia to place an order. I felt that it's better to link to a page with more information on it than I cared to type myself.
Bellwether Farms is distributed in many other states outside California or can be obtained via its website. Many cheesemakers are not open to the public or maybe I'm missing your point. Were you planning to visit in person?
re: Melanie Wong
No I was responding to your recommendations. As I said, I don't know where the OP lives, did you? I can't comment on the product having never tasted it. But I did visit the links you provided to read more. The one farm would only be avail as an online purchase. I have never ordered one container of fresh ricotta cheese online. Especially if I was not familiar with the taste, have you? And, the other link you provided to order online is not a secure website for credit card usage. I think that's valuable information.
I did not consider a phone order. Valid suggestion. But, I would want to taste the product before buying online.
re: HillJ
That's not true. As I stated above, Bellwether is distributed in many states and sold in supermarkets and cheese shops. It is not only available as an online purchase.
The OP asked for brands. I recommended my two favorite brands. The OP also posted a similar request earlier on the Manhattan board, presumably for ricotta available near a home or work place, and was moved to ask a more general question. Since this request is on the Cheese board (and may have been on General Topics before) and no specific geography was stated, I don't feel a need to limit my recommendations to suit ability to taste in person or your buying proclivities. If that were a criteria, I guess I'd just shut up as I cannot guarantee that every product recommended is available in every corner of the universe. Hopefully, this thread will be of use to many others besides the OP who find it in the future.
re: Melanie Wong
Bellwether isn't avail in my home bases in NJ or CA. I used the sites zip code locator. I don't know where the OP poster lives. That information is helpful in making a recommendation.
I thought this OP was to help a CH find a container of fresh ricotta cheese for a cheesecake recipe.
Who said anything about your personal guarantee. It wasn't a slam against your statements. I was reading the sites you provided and not finding much of a resource out of either recommendation due to a lack of availability and an unsecure ordering site.
re: HillJ
Websites break. Especially websites for small companies that do not devote a lot of resource to maintaining them, and both of these places probably fit in that category. Chowhounds know how to dig to find what they're hunting for. Not every feature is going to work all the time. But there is still information about the product to be gleaned even it a site doesn't have all the bells and whistles. Product manufacturing methods, pack size, price, company background, seasonality, etc. can be found. I prefer to add a link that shows those things instead of typing them myself. Availability can be ascertained by using the contact info, if one gets serious.
I'd also like to make clear that the warning for Gioia's website is not on the page I linked but deeper into the online store feature. One can open that url now readily to find pertinent product info. Yet, I'll point out that website security is a moving target and can be browser dependent as we saw with Google Chrome's recent debacle. Sometimes certificates expire and they'll eventually (hopefully sooner) be renewed and the site will be secure once more. New browsers will provide some warning when a site is insecure.
Again, untrue that Bellwether is not available in NJ or CA, and I don't know how many ways I can try to tell you this. What is true is that the zip code locator for Bellwether does not work right now. When I originally posted, I used it to try a variety of locations across the country including those in Sonoma County where the farm resides and got an error message for all of them. I can tell you for sure that Bellwether is available in CA, as I buy it in stores and farmers markets. I saw the sheeps whey ricotta last Saturday morning at its booth at the Santa Rosa Redwood Empire farmers market and its in the supermarkets I've visited this week. I have never been to the farm to buy it and buy through retail channels myself. The company's twitter feed and FB page show it posting from trade shows across the country, presumably to sell its cheese to stores and wholesalers in national markets. You can find it be searching well-known cheese stores that list Bellwether on its website, and if one really wants to buy it, ask a local store if it is something that can be ordered through the distributors that supply the store. Even if the ricotta is not normally stocked due to perishibility, if a store carries other Bellwether cheeses, there's a good chance it can get its hands on the ricotta.
Yes, the original request explained difficulty finding fresh ricotta and asked for "a preferred commercially available brand". Both Gioia and Bellwether are commercially available and they are my preferred brands. Again, no specific geography was stated in the question and this board is not limited by geography as the regional boards are. So I'm making my best recommendation without regard to geography. If you check the OP's profile, a location is listed, but we know that not everyone keeps that up-to-date and it may not be correct. But where one lives and where one chooses to buy and use a product can be different so I'm not focused about where the OP lives. Also the OP posted to the Manhattan board as I stated above asking about ricotta before making this request which may give you a clue.
This is a longer answer than I felt like typing, but if you're this confused and mislead about the facts, likely others are as well and I'll keep trying to shine a light on it.
"I can explain it to you, but I cannot comprehend it for you." ~ Mayor Ed Koch
re: Melanie Wong
Wow. I don't know if I should say thank you or apologize. I didn't follow the OP around to other boards to draw any conclusions and you and I (once again) just don't jive.
I'm going to only assume your best of intentions and stand by my brief experience trying to use both links.

Hot off the press, the new Florida Yards and Neighborhoods Plant Selection Guide.
You will be very impressed with this downloadable publication that shows you in great detail how to design and implement a Florida Friendly Landscape. The experts at the University of Florida Extension Service have combined their talents and years of experience. The links are missing to the numbered EDIS publications for the critical proper planting of trees, turf and landscape plants so you will have to do some further searching on the Home Lawn and Landscape Section of the extensive EDIS Site to complete the implementation of your plan.
I consider this knowledge essential to professionals you may hire and a valuable resource for you to check the credibility of a contractor's knowledge. Too often folks tend to trust a 'yardman' to select and properly install the Right Plant in the Right Place only to later find that the selection was inappropriate.
Bookmark these references and turn your garden into a functional Florida Friendly Landscape. Here are the 9 Principles of Florida Friendly Landscaping.

Hi, I am just about to move a HP network printer from one server to another (both 2008r2)
I have the printer setup in GPO and will be naming the printer differently.
Should I
Add a new GPO setting for the printer and set the old printer to delete.
Alter the GPO settings for the old printer with the new printer settings and select update in the GPO action settings. If I use this method will it update the name of the printer and the fact its on a different server while keeping settings that the user may have set such as if its a default printer.
I would say leave the existing printer share, but remove the GPO to deploy it.
Create a new printer, share it, then deploy via GPO.
Existing logged on users can still print to the existing printer. New users who logon will automatically receive the new printer. After a few days, you should then be able to delete the existing printer share.

Are you a first time homebuyer and looking for Temecula homes for sale? You are probably eager to get into the market. If that is the case, the following tips could help you decide whether you are ready to invest your money in buying a home.
Compare prices
The first thing any smart homebuyer will do is to check the selling prices and compare the prices of homes that are on sale in the area. You should make use of any piece of information you can get, from websites to visiting the local real estate agent to media advertising. This will give you a general idea of what you should expect to pay for your new home.
Can you afford it? Any hidden costs
It is important to buy what you can comfortably afford. Is it possible for one to buy a home that is beyond their means? The answer is YES. Many folks take mortgages they are unable to service comfortably and this limits the chances of ever completing paying the mortgage in piece. This could be the reason behind the spiraling home foreclosures. In that regard, you should find out what you total monthly housing costs will be including insurance and taxes. Talk to your realty agent to give you an estate of the maximum amount of money you will spend. It is not uncommon for first time homebuyers to get shocked by the amount of extra money they end up paying that they had not budgeted for. At least you should be aware that the selling price of the home is not all you will have to pay to own the home.
For instance, if you want to get an idea of the cost of insurance, pick any property in the area where you would like to live and call your insurance company to give you an estimate. They will be too glad to do that. Just remember that the extra costs can make a real difference between owning a house and not owning one. It is also advisable that you get an assurance from your real estate agent that there are no hidden costs that will come later that have not been indicated in the contract.
Closing costs
Another mistake that many first timers commit is that they forget to take into consideration the closing costs of purchasing a house into their home buying cost estimates. Closing costs can actually run into a few thousand dollars; therefore, it is not something that can be ignored. Closing costs include things like originations fees, settlement fees, transfer of title and homeowner's association fees (if it exist in your area).
Look at the big picture
Before you decide to plunge into the business of buying a home, you should look at the big picture and see whether it is a worthy investment. Sometimes, buying a home might not be the best option especially if you don't think you will be staying that area for long.

Cameron my boy , you will worry yourself into an early grave.
Yes its nice if the donk gets a run every couple of weeks but shoot, it will not roll over and play dead if it only happens once a month.
Now its also true that a diesel should only be run under load but if you were to go out and let her run for half an hour every week or so you won't kill it. Of course you could just run it at low revs in reverse and hope your mooring is a goodun.
Anywho, I thought you were in a pen ?
ps - Ok so we went solar end of large year but you know us. We are out on Raven at least one weekend in two and we'll spend up to eight weeks a year living on board during our mini cruises. Pre solar we would run the dink up to two hours a day to charge house batteries. Sometimes I'd take the opportunity to go for a potter but most times not under load. That lil ol Bukh gets a bit tick from mechanic each year so it cannot have done the thing much harm.
cheers mate, love to the missus.

I've used pencil eyeliner for years and switched because I'm older and my eyelids are crepey. I purchased this product initially because it was on sale, but will definitely buy it again. It's easy to apply and stays on all day. It doesn't go on thickly so I can adjust the intensity and make it much darker if I want. I have oily lids so apply a bit of powder in the crease of my lid and that helps too. I purchased brown-black, but would buy black next time.
Don't bother. The pen's ok, you can draw very fine lines with it but I found the pigment to be very faint and runny. Not worth it.
I actually really enjoyed this product.I've been enjoy this pen for over 4 years. I think the tip is a bit too big. Has a lot of product and will last a while.
i like this but, this stuff is a hit or miss. i love the packaging because the felt tip is so precise that you can make thin or thick lines and it's so easy to control. the black color is black, but i feel like it's not black enough (blackest black) and it dries to kind of a shiny finish, which i don't like. it's also kind of hard to do a wing because the felt tip isn't flexible enough. it is a pretty good price like $5 from target. overall, i like this. i don't have oily eyelids so it usually doesn't transfer and it gives me a good line. it's not my favorite, but it's really good from the drugstore.
it spreads badly when comes in contact with water
Decent but nothing special. I love the tip (can do thin or thick lines, easy to control), and it goes on black enough, but its staying power leaves something to be desired. It fades after a few hours and then it just looks grey and weak.

I really love this marker, personally. It is a good size, good price, hasn't dried out, and the felt tip is still just as pointy and crisp as it was when I bought it. The formula is watery, but it opaque enough for me. This does come of somewhat easily with water, but it's better than a lot of liners I've tried. I have oily lids, but haven't noticed it transferring. I use this for making winged liner. (I learned it from GossMakeupArtist's channel. It is so much easier than the whole angle brush shenanigan)
I love this stuff!
1. Stays on all day, whether or not you use a primer.
2. Felt tip makes it really easy to use and maneuver and much better than traditional liquid liner (with a brush).
3. Has a nice color.
1. I wish there was maybe a little bit of flexibility on the pen part. It IS easy to use but being flexible would make it easier on the outer eye.
I usually use Maybelline Masterprecise liner which I love but the store didn't happen to have that so I decided to try Revlon. I haven't even gotten the chane to wear it out yet and I probably won't ever. The line hardly shows up and I have to go over a view times. The tip is very uncomfortable on the eyelid and it seems that it's already drying though I've only used it two or three times. I won't be buying this product again.

With the first hour or so from application, it looks fine. Over the course of the day, I find it trailing to my under eyes, or building up in the corner of my eyes. I love the Revlon colorstay line, but I was pretty disappointed with this product.

Hey everyone, my name's Scott and I'm the newest member of The Rat Trick's writing staff. I'm very happy to vent my Panther opinions to people other than my dad. I couldn't help but notice a few things in Saturday night's game that one could relate to being a Panther fan in the last decade. Throughout Saturday's Stanley Cup game between the Vancouver Canucks and Boston Bruins, one could practically hear Bruin fans screaming at their TVs, demanding that Milan Lucic check Alexandre Burrows into the Canucks' bench. Unfortunately for Bostonians, there would be no such luck. Burrows skated circles around the Bruins all night long, chipping in with a point on all three Vancouver goals. That would be bad enough for your average Bruin fan, but the fact that Burrows did it was painful hit to Boston pride. After footage clearly showed Burrows chomping on Patrice Bergeron's finger at the end of the first period of Game 1, the NHL somehow came to the conclusion that the video was inconclusive and Burrows should not be suspended. There could be enough fodder in that sideshow to write a whole other article, but the main point is that Burrows should have been in street clothes sitting in a booth in Rogers Arena, not winning the game for the Canucks on the ice. For the Bruins, it seemed like the absolute worst guy was having success.
That has been a theme all weekend for the Panther fan. Two big players in this Final, Roberto Luongo and Nathan Horton, broke Panther fans' hearts by being shipped out to big markets and having success, while the Florida franchise continued to struggle to keep face in the Eastern Conference. For once, a Panther fan can empathize with the Bruins – why did it have to be that guy?
The situation is reminiscent of the Panthers' incident with Philly's Mike Richards, who not so subtly almost ended David Booth's career. He went on to go to the Stanley Cup finals with the rest of his Flyer thugs, while Booth spent the better part of the season walking around dazed and confused with head trauma.
Another example (if I can cross genres shortly), is when Marlin pitcher Chris Volstad faced Brewers outfielder Nyjer Morgan this past Saturday night. The last time they faced each other. Volstad threw behind Morgan, prompting Morgan to charge the mound and get clotheslined on the way there. The first pitch that Morgan saw in the more recent at-bat was deposited into the right field bleachers. For goodness' sakes, why does that punk get to circle the bases?
The average sports fan always wants some sort of vigilante justice after their team had seemingly been wronged. Bruins wanted Burrows to be checked to pieces and be at most a non-factor in Game 2. Panther fans wanted Horton and Luongo to disappoint in their new town. Heck, Marlin fans would have liked Nyjer Morgan to have been thrown at again.
Unfortunately, there would be no such luck for these average fans. Burrows led the Canucks in the game that he shouldn't have been playing. Horton and Luongo are crowd favorites in their respective cities. Morgan slugged a home run.
I could feel the Bruins' pain that night, when Burrows scored, assisted, then scored again to put the Bruins in a 2-0 series hole. When I saw the overtime goal scored live, I was speechless. I could see the play develop, where both Tim Thomas and Zdeno Chara misplayed Burrows as he wrapped his way around the net and scored. I knew that if I was a Bruins' fan, I would shake my fists at the hockey gods that they would let that fiend take the game over. Even being a fan of hockey in general, I could easily come to a conclusion that the overtime sucked. The anticlimactic end of the game just eleven seconds into overtime not only disappointed my unquenchable thirst for Stanley cup hockey, but it seemed like the game ended on a broken defensive assignment, not a great individual effort.
Sports can play a cruel trick on its fans: very often success goes to the villain, the betrayer, the goon. Life would be a great summer movie if only good things happened to good people. But unfortunately, life would never be interesting under those circumstances, and by default, neither would sports. Eventually, the Panthers' fortune will change, and we will be consistent contenders. Until that day, however, I'll be content to root against the players that wronged my team.

The story:
One of the down-sides of having a (fuller than) full time job is not having as much time to make music. One of the up-sides is getting real paid, enough to buy sweet new gear. Of course, owning the gear means nothing without knowing how to use it...
I am finally getting the hang of my Boss RC-30 Loop Pedal. The real breakthrough came when I found out I could run both my Roland Juno-D and Novation Ultranova through the pedal at the same time. The result is some really funky solo-synth action. It is certainly an interesting twist to the music I have uploaded in the past. It is undoubtedly a lot more raw, which equates to something both less polished and filled with more emotion. Running a composition through the computer always de-humanizes it, and it is something I have grown all too accustomed with. Learning to live with blemishes has been tough, but the occasional accidental is rarely noticed to the un-trained ear and never really hurt anyone ;)
Listening to these is a pleasant reminder that I need to work on my keyboard chops. However, I never get tired of combining all sorts of different sounds and morphing them into something that is truly unique and my own.

A new study finds that brief dynamic psychotherapies can help patients as well as save money. The study comes from Allan Abbass, M.D., an associate professor of psychiatry at Dalhousie University in Halifax, Canada, and colleagues. Abbass reported the study's results at the annual meeting of the Canadian Psychiatric Association in November. The results are also in press with the American Journal of Psychotherapy.
The brief dynamic psychotherapy that Abbass and his team have found can both pack a clinical punch and save money is called intensive short-term dynamic psychotherapy. It was founded some 20 years ago by Habib Davanloo, M.D., a professor emeritus at McGill University in Montreal. It helps a person address, experience, and deal with blocked emotions and unconscious processes that lead to a wide range of symptom and character problems. Currently there are training programs for it in Halifax, Montreal, Toronto, Vancouver, California, and New York.
Not surprisingly, intensive short-term dynamic psychotherapy is highly regarded by the psychiatrists who use it. However, its purported efficacy has been criticized in other quarters for not having been scientifically documented. So Abbass, a proponent of the therapy, and his colleagues decided to set up a study to see whether they could provide such documentation. They also decided to design the study so that it would reveal whether the therapy is cost-effective when delivered by a psychiatrist in a private clinical setting.
They selected as subjects for their study 89 individuals who had been diagnosed according to DSM-IV criteria with one or more mental disorders and who agreed to undergo intensive short-term dynamic psychotherapy. Of the 89 subjects, 45 (52 percent) had personality disorders, 38 (43 percent) had major depression, 33 (37 percent) had somatoform disorder, 26 (29 percent) had panic disorder, and 21 (24 percent) had dysthymic disorder. The patients were, on average, 40 years of age, and 52 percent were female. All of the subjects received their psychotherapy in a private psychiatric office in Vancouver. Each therapy session was an hour long, and the average course of therapy was 15 sessions.
To answer the first question—whether intensive short-term dynamic psychotherapy is clinically effective—Abbass and his coworkers had the subjects complete self-report questionnaires before and after therapy. The questionnaires consisted of the Brief Symptom Inventory, a general symptom measurement scale that encompasses depression and anxiety; the Inventory of Interpersonal Problems, a scale that assesses a wide range of interpersonal functioning difficulties; and the Beck Depression Inventory and the Beck Anxiety Inventory, well-established measurement scales of depression and anxiety, respectively.
Abbass and his colleagues then compared the results of the questionnaires completed by the subjects before and after therapy to see whether intensive short-term dynamic psychotherapy had helped them. On each self-report measure, after-therapy levels were lower than pretherapy ones, and the differences in each case were statistically significant. In fact, average scores on each measure decreased from pathological levels before therapy to within normal ranges after therapy.
Thus, intensive short-term dynamic psychotherapy given by a psychiatrist in a private office setting appears to be clinically effective, Abbass and his team concluded.
Abbass and his colleagues then set out to answer their second question—whether intensive short-term dynamic psychotherapy given by a psychiatrist in a private office setting is cost-effective.
The researchers collected data about subjects' health care costs, unemployment rates, and disability insurance use and costs before therapy as well as after. Then the researchers compared subjects' before and after therapy levels of health care use, unemployment rates, and disability insurance use. They found, for example, that the average length of stay in the hospital for the subjects went from 10 days during the 12-month period two years before treatment to three days during the 12-month period after treatment. Of the 22 subjects who had been unemployed and out of work on average 60 weeks before therapy, 18 (82 percent) returned to work after therapy (or even before therapy ended). Seventeen of the 18 subjects had been on disability insurance.
Finally, the investigators compared the costs of subjects' health care and disability insurance use during the 12-month period two years before therapy to the costs of their health care and disability insurance use in the 12-month period after therapy to see whether they could find any differences. The researchers found that the total cost, in Canadian dollars, after therapy was $551,954 less than what it had been before therapy. They then deducted the cost of giving intensive short-term dynamic psychotherapy to the 89 subjects, which was $149,431, leaving a net savings of $402,523.
"This is a remarkable study," Robert Neborsky, M.D., a clinical professor of psychiatry at the University of California at San Diego, told Psychiatric News. "One of its key points is its naturalistic design. Abbass and his coworkers studied the effect of the treatment on 89 consecutive referrals to a general psychiatry outpatient practice in Vancouver. Although not a perfect design, they have eliminated all criticism of 'cherry-picking'—that is, only reporting the responses of highly motivated, low-resistance cases. Theirs was a markedly disturbed population, and their results show evidence of substantial change in symptom measures, character measures, and health care and disability costs, using the patient's retrospective health care demographic compared with their prospective utilization."
What still needs to be learned, of course, Neborsky pointed out, is whether certain types of patients respond better to intensive short-term dynamic psychotherapy than others do.
"Clearly, there were some patients in the study who showed greater benefit than others," he said, "and it would be of interest to determine whether they demonstrated the greatest part of the therapeutic variance, and if so, what were their characteristics as opposed to the relative nonresponders."
The study, "Intensive Short-Term Dynamic Psychotherapy in a Private Psychiatric Office: Clinical and Cost-Effectiveness," is in press with the American Journal of Psychotherapy. It can be read on the Web at www.psych.dal.ca/istdp/article9.htm. ▪

Guillermo del Toro Announces Pacific Rim 2 for 2017
Now you guys now how much I loved Pacific Rim when I reviewed it here on Blazing Minds and the news of a sequel has been doing the rounds for quite a while, it was even mentioned in gossip flying around shortly after the first movie was being shown in cinemas.
Although the first movie wasn't a massive success in the cinemas, it made around $400 million in the box office worldwide, but this still hasn't put a stop to Warner Bros. going ahead with the, yet untitled, sequel.
Pacific Rim 2 will be distributed by Universal Pictures (who Legendary are now paired with since splitting from Warner Bros.), it will actually be released in 3D and IMAX 3D on April 7th, 2017.
Before the release of the movie, Del Toro is working on comic books and and an animated series that will connect the two movies together, which will hopefully bridge the gap, between now and before Pacific Rim 2 is released in 2017.
The great news is, although there was thoughs that didn't like Pacific Rim and some critics were pretty harsh, the news of the sequel means, as Del Toro himself puts it, "More Kaijus and Jaegers kicking butt!"
So come on dear readers, what are you thoughts to a sequel to Pacific Rim, are you looking forward to it? And what are your thoughts on an animated series to tie the two movies together?
Please let us know your thoughts in the comments section below.

Huge fan of #1 Karen Good news! I dig GDT's style, and a big monster movie fan too. Looking forward to the next edition.

Essential Safety Net Services Remain Despite Rising Health Care Costs, Reductions in Federal Support
HARRISBURG, Pa., Feb. 5 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Despite the continuing challenges of reductions in federal funding and soaring health care costs, Governor Edward G. Rendell today remained committed to providing for the needs of Pennsylvania's most vulnerable citizens in his 2008-09 state budget proposal.
The Governor said no Pennsylvanian currently receiving health care and other critical services, specifically children, will experience any reduction in services or lose eligibility under his budget. He pledged to continue working to provide necessary services for the growing number of vulnerable individuals and families in need of assistance.
"Despite the considerable challenges we face again this year, Pennsylvania remains committed to preserving the long-established social safety net that ensures children, people with disabilities, low-income families and older adults continue to have access to critical services and essential health care," Governor Rendell said.
To meet these continued commitments, the Governor's budget includes initiatives that will strengthen provider and consumer incentives, better meet the preferences of vulnerable Pennsylvanians and enable additional investments in quality programs that support children, adults and families in need.
The Governor's budget proposal provides funding to increase the number and types of long-term living options available to older adults and persons with disabilities. It includes a $29.2 million investment in community-based infrastructure that expands long-term living options, representing a focused effort to create a balanced system that uses resources efficiently, offers consumers choices and ensures high-quality care.
Pennsylvania continues to face a growing demand for long-term living

Love, while wonderful, isn't black and white, and it sure isn't simple. There are lots of different types of love and we experience different types with the various people in our lives. Here are the types of love:
- Romantic Love. This is often what people think of when they first think about love. Romantic love occurs between two people who are in a relationship and care deeply for each other. They are attracted to each other as friends, as well as physically and emotionally. Romantic love is the love we feel for our partners, and is often accompanied by things like butterflies in our stomach or thinking about them all the time.
- Companionate Love. This is the kind of love we feel for our friends and we can also feel it with our partners as they grow into being our best friends. Companionate love is emotional and spiritual but lacks the physical aspect that romantic love has. With companionate love we care deeply about someone, love the way they contribute to our lives and want to see them happy. We are comfortable with them and have a routine of being together that bring happiness and comfort to both parties.
I learned how to be silent
Via experience and consequence
But that does not mean
I will settle.
I have a voice of my own
that wants to be heard.
Some day soon,
I'll figure out how.
I am not a child
that needs to be taught.
I am an adult
finding his own way.
I stopped telling myself that I'm lost.
I'm not.
I'm on a road with no destination, I'm just driving with hope that I'll find a place that I like and I'll stay there.
I'm not lost, I'm on my way.

Mica Creek supplies electricity to the region's mining industry, as well as Mount Isa, Cloncurry and the surrounding communities.
The gas-fired Mica Creek Power Station is comprised of 12 units capable of generating up to 302 MW of electricity.
Mica Creek Power Station was originally coal-fired, however a project to expand and convert the power station from coal-fired to gas-fired combustion was completed in 2000, ending a 40-year history of coal-fired electricity generation.
Conversion from coal to gas resulted in a 43 per cent reduction in Mica Creek's greenhouse gas emissions, as well as significant reductions in particulate and sulphur dioxide emissions.

Climate study released by SD Foundation
Water supplies will drop, sea levels will rise and the air will get increasingly unhealthy in San Diego if steps are not taken to reduce global warming, according to a study released today.
The "Regional Focus 2050 Study," commissioned by the San Diego Foundation, was touted as the first comprehensive, regional assessment of climate impacts for any county in California.
The study was developed by a team of more than 40 experts from regional universities, local governments, public sector agencies, nonprofits and private organizations, according to the San Diego Foundation.
They found that if the region does not act by 2050, the build-up of greenhouse gasses in the atmosphere will make San Diego's climate hotter and drier.
Sea levels may also rise by as much as 18 inches in the next 40 years, putting beaches and coastal communities at risk, according to the study.
The region could run low on water, air quality will become increasingly unhealthy and native plants and wildlife will be pushed to the brink of extinction, the report says.
However, the speed and severity of the impacts of climate change can be reduced if state and local governments act, according to Bill Kuni, chair of the foundation's Climate Change Initiative Environment Committee.
"Decisions made today about land use and transportation, water and energy resources, public health and ecosystem protection are all critical to managing climate change," Kuni said. "Through sensible adjustments and informed, careful planning, we can reduce and manage the risks we face in San Diego and beyond."
The study sets a goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 20 percent in five years by helping local governments develop climate action plans.

Maruti Swift Mileage and Fuel Efficiency
As mentioned in the previous section, the company engineers have worked hard to provide an improved Powertrain with the new swift both in terms of performance and efficiency. However, it is the Maruti Swift mileage in particular which appears to have improved significantly as compared to the previous generation version. While the 1.2L petrol engine of the car delivers an improved fuel economy of 18.6 km per liter, the diesel version goes one step ahead by delivering 6 percent higher fuel efficiency at 22.9 km per liter.
However, when it comes to city areas, the mileage dips considerably at 14.5 km per liter petrol version and at 19.0 km per liter in the diesel version. A series of factors contribute in making the new Maruti Swift much more efficient in terms of fuel consumption including improved aerodynamic efficiency, reduced body weight and use of advanced technologies.

Maruti Swift Road Test Report
Leaving behind the on-papers performance, which is extraordinary, let's explore by means of a test drive how Maruti Swift performs at work. To start with, the 1.2L K series petrol engine that now works in alliance with variable valve timing (VVT) resulting in refinement of revving and churn-out of more power (87PS) with greater mileage against earlier version of Maruti Swift. While the 1.3L DDiS Multi-jet is kept same with some retuning that displays more refinement while driving.
The handling showcases immense improvement as the turning is sharp, here thanks to enhanced body rolls along with pretty agile and responsive steering wheel. With longer wheel base and proper ground clearance, the bump-absorbing capacity in city road conditions has advanced and occupants rarely feel the same. On highways too, Maruti Swift feels less nervous. The rigid steering has been reworked with a fresh variable-gear ratio design that has made steering feel encouraging, now it assists very well in changing sharp directions.
Both engines of Maruti Swift rev up clearly, without any crank, while being vibe-free inside. The vibration levels especially at the gear knob are always felt in all Maruti cars, but Swift has escaped quite intelligently. The diesel version reaches the 0-100 kph mark in less than 15 seconds. On longer distances, diesel trim is the best bet with pleased revving, as at 100 kph, Maruti Swift is seen spinning over 2,300 rpm, here remarkable part is 'no engine noise', which screams fine-tuning instead. The gear shift quality is butter smooth; however suspension feeling is a bit shaky that is sensed at low speeds.
Inside the cabin one feels comfortable, but not plush on uneasy terrains, but this can be ignored, seeing lower price tag of Maruti Swift. The superior grip is mainly a result of wide footprint along with aptly placed 4 wheels at four corners of the vehicle. It goes sailing at 120 kmph and it seems that Maruti Swift can go with it the whole day without getting tired. Furthermore, exterior appearance of Maruti Swift has not changed much compared to older, as one cannot list out amends by merely looking at it from a distance, but has to gaze at it closely.
Inside, the features provide a hint of 'steal' from premium sedan Maruti Kizashi, as instruments appear exceptional alongside marvellous steering mounted controls. The rear has more knee room, but due to small window you at times feel dejected, the same was felt in the first generation of Maruti Swift too. All in all, Maruti Suzuki India has managed to gain practical popularity yet again with new generation Maruti Swift, as it will never let you down when it comes to ride quality and handling besides class leading mileage.
Maruti Swift Conclusion
Everything is fine with this product up till now. But the recent very promising launches are ready to haunt Maruti Swift's success, especially at the time when it has got long waiting queues. There is Mahindra Quanto, Honda Brio and newbie Chevrolet Sail UVA that have ideal capabilities to trap the prospect consumers of Maruti Swift. Among the three, two are very close rivals to Swift, Brio in petrol and Chevy Sail UVA in the diesel department.
Talking about Maruti Swift hatch, it has been a fantastic volume driver for the auto firm since years. Time and again Maruti has proved that--no one knows Indian auto sector well, but they. The vehicle lacks around nowhere, but still the base variant must have been loaded with more of the gears. The engine option of two fuels is responsive, but while handling at some of the off-roading stuff it is a bit tricky, although at the end it copes-up well with it. It is one of the unsurpassed and absolute hatches from Maruti. There have been instances where Swift buyers have moved on to buy Maruti Ertiga, due to prolonged waiting time. But with some very close rivals around it, it would be worth noticing how Maruti battles out this competitive phase.

Looking at teaching English around the world. China seems like it would be a good change of pace.
R.I.P. my beard.
July 2011-November 2011
You shall be missed.
That is all.
In the last few months, several of my closest friends and I have had a breaking up of sorts.
First, there was Kelly. Her and I had been close for about a year, had been very flirtatious towards each other, and when we both started seeing other people I said we needed to stop talking to each other like that. She hasn't said a word to me since.
There was this girl Shannon, who my friend Jiahn warned me not to talk to but I ignored his advice. I knew Jiahn and Shannon had hooked up, and I knew she was an absolute terrible person but she seemed lonely so I wanted to befriend her. The one time we hung out, we did nothing but watch a movie. Two days later, her fiance calls me screaming about how I raped her. It seems on her birthday she got shitfaced and decided to call him while he was also shitfaced and bullshit to him. I told him I wouldn't talk to her or him again, if he would just leave me alone. He claimed if he ever saw me, he'd beat the shit out of me. Saw him back in August, and confronted him in a room full of people. He didn't say a word and just started at the table.
Then there was my cousin, Krista. We met each other only a few years ago and in that short amount of time, she became the person I trusted more than anyone. I can no longer talk to her for any length of time without becoming incredibly angry simply because she does nothing but judge others when her own life is just horrid. She makes the same mistakes over and over again, but doesn't see them. I can't watch it anymore, and it doesn't help she needs to criticize my own life when she doesn't know it anymore. We were very similar when we first met, but now we will never see eye to eye again. Part of me misses her dearly, but part of me knows I can never have that relationship with her again. We want different things in life, and honestly the pain she causes me is worse than she'd ever know.
