Hi Sugar, I'm a big fan of your blog! My name is Evie and I recently graduated from the University of Leicester in the UK with an undergraduate degree in History. I'm so happy to have finished my degree and I'm eager to get into the real world. However, now the initial excitement has worn off, I'm starting to realize that I'm not sure of my plans. I always imagined I'd go straight into a graduate level job. But now the time is here, I'm unsure. I don't have an exact career field in mind like I thought I would by this stage. A full-time permanent position seems like a big commitment as I'm not sure what field I want to work in. All of my friends have graduate jobs lined up so I feel like that would be the wisest thing to do. However, having heard about The Intern Group program through a friend, I think an international internship could be the answer. Do you offer international international internships to recent graduates? Also how can I be sure that doing an internship after graduation is a good step? Thanks in advance for your help!
Hi Evie, thanks for getting in touch with such a great question! We believe it's really important that everyone has the opportunity to intern abroad. All of our destinations welcome recent graduates so the world is your oyster! While traditionally, internships are viewed as something for university students, there are lots of reasons why they can be extremely beneficial for recent graduates, too. International work experience will always look great on your CV. Below I have compiled my 5 reasons why you should do an internship after graduation.
1. It's the perfect way to test a career field
Although you thought you'd have a career plan by now, it is completely normal to not know what to do straight after graduating. In fact, any plan you do have is likely to keep changing for years to come. If you have little idea of where to start, thinking about career fields that align with your studies is a good idea. You can then look for international internship opportunities within this field, without the scary long-term commitment of a graduate level job.
2. Placement experts will help you find the right company and field for you
When you study a non-vocational course such as History, it can often feel like you have a million opportunities and none at all. Making decisions is so hard when there is no definitive path. Our placement experts and admissions team are experts at helping you find your way. They help you evaluate your skills and interests to find the ideal career field and host organization for you. Having an outsider's perspective on your situation can make everything a lot clearer.
3. Receive personalized career advice
The Intern Group's Alumni Success Program is another great reason to intern abroad as a graduate. As part of your experience, you benefit from a personalized session with one of our carefully-selected professional development experts. They specialize in a range of topics and allow you to really think about how to progress in your career. For someone like you, who is unsure of what to do next, this session will be extremely helpful. It allows you to reflect on your internship and decide what steps to take moving forward.
4. Travel without taking a year out
All millennials see the personal value in travel and many people choose to take a post-university gap year. Although it sounds corny, traveling helps you to see life from a different perspective and has endless benefits. However, recent graduates are often unfairly required to make the decision between advancing in their career and seeing the world. Many graduates who are unsure of their career paths choose a year out to travel in order to delay making a decisions.
However, by undertaking an international internship straight after university, you truly get the best of both worlds. You have incredible experience to boost your resume, as well as the opportunity to live in another country. By traveling before and after your internship, you can really make the most of your experience. You won't have a gap on your resume but also won't be jealous when you see your friend's gap year Instagrams.
5. Invaluable
A lot of graduates are hesitant to apply for unpaid international internships as they feel like they should be in the position of having a full-time paid job. However, it is important to realize that international professional experience is invaluable. While working a full-time entry-level job may mean more money for you in the short term, an international internship will benefit your career a lot more in the long run. The skills you develop and contacts you make while interning abroad will make all the difference to your future career.

If you were planning a trip to Africa, how would you get there? You can't just say, "I'm going to go to Africa." You actually have to make plans in order to reach your final goal of landing in Africa. Which will include: packing, finding the best route to the nearest airport, buying tickets, figuring out where you would stay, etc. With that being said planning a successful music career takes steps also. In this article we will cover the importance of goals and how we can use them to achieve our ultimate goal.
The first step, and the most important step, is to figure out what your ultimate goal is. Without an endpoint, there is no point to begin. Let's say, for example, your ultimate goal is to get a record deal with a major label, well you take that goal and move backwards. In order to get a record deal you need to find a major label. To find a major label that will be interested in you, you have to build a buzz. To build a buzz, you need plenty of shows, at least one successful release, and a fan base. So, now you know what you need to work towards.
By setting goals, you are making small steps to achieve a larger goal, which is what you need to do next. Set goals to achieve your ultimate goal. Let's do another example. Let's say all you want is to play your music at the next MTV music awards. Once again you should work backwards. You should find out when the awards are, then find out who is in charge of booking, but neither of these should be done until you have a fan base and a solid press kit. You see how knowing your ultimate goal can help you plan to achieve it? The more clearly your ultimate goal, the easier it is for you to make steps to achieve it. This can be done in any aspect of life, not only in your music career. You can't travel on roads not knowing where you are going because you will never get anywhere.
Here is something you can do today that can help you achieve something and will also show you how powerful goal setting is. Book a show. Now that you have your ultimate goal, work backwards. Find an appropriate venue for your music. Find out who is in charge of entertainment.
Look through your catalog and find the best songs for the venue. From their contact who is in charge of booking entertainment and get information to where to send your press kit with the songs you have chosen. Simple as that. As long as your contact information is included, you should be hearing from them shortly, and you've booked a show. Do this about seven more times and you know what you've done? Put together your first tour. You got to love goal setting.

News: June-July 2014
FESTIVAL INTERNATIONAL DE JAZZ DE MONTREAL, 35th ANNIVERSARY EDITION: JUNE 27, 2014
June 05, 2014, Montreal, Quebec, Canada
VIVO MUSIQUE is pleased to announce some exciting summer activities for the Québécois-Dominican Latin music orchestra Rafael & Energía Dominicana, celebrating the debut album, Enamorarse en la playa. The orchestra will perform at The Montreal International Jazz Festival on June 27, 2014, The Festival International Nuits d'Afrique, on July 17, 2014 and will release a new single and debut video clip for the song "Margarita". The song is an original composition by Rafael in the bomba style with an infectious groove and with roots in the traditions of Porto Rico. The video will be directed by Vincent Egret, whose clips include the mega-hit "Danza Kuduro" by Don Omar featuring Lucenzo, (a clip that has obtained over 550 million views on YouTube) as well as videos for Florence K., Florent Pagny, Natasha St. Pier, Big Ali, Bonnie Tyler, Mellowman, Dubmatique, Rainmen, and Qbanito. Video pre-production for "Margarita" is underway and a shoot is scheduled for June 2014.
These activities mark a period of achievement for Rafael, an artist often referred to as a fighter, or in Spanish, a luchador - he is a passionate performer who never gave up his dream to present his music to the world. Originally from the city of Bani in the Dominican Republic, he is forever attached to his roots, and produced Enamorarse en la playa with his culture at heart, combined with creating an essence of a place he loves the most: the dance floor. Rafael says: "Dreams come true when you have faith in God, you persevere and work tirelessly. It is never too late to achieve your goals. I say this with much humility, but also proudly, to present our Latin music and my country, the Dominican Republic, and grateful to God for the blessings. I am super excited…OYE KE LINDO SUENAAAA!"
Enamorarse en la playa was released on November 19, 2013, and produced by Rafael, Pascal Laraque and Kuky Carbuccia and with Jesus Alejandro El Niño and Chris Perry in Montreal, Quebec. It includes thirteen original compositions by Rafael from different Latin music genres such as merengue, bachata, salsa, and ballad. The album is available on record label Vivo Musique, and distributed by DEP Distribution Ltd./Universal Music Canada/Believe Digital-Numérique.

Pondicherry Prawns
Chilli Prawns
When it comes to seafood street dishes, I don't think I've tasted any better than this prawn recipe, which I picked up from friends in Pondicherry on India's east coast. Typically these prawns, which carry a gentle heat and a healthy addiction are served rough and ready in newspaper cones or waxed paper. However for this version we've pimped it and served it with a smooth coconut dressed red onion salad.
This chilli prawn recipe is a great snack, super quick and it articulates Southern India, hot, sharp and cool all at the same time. Genius!
Serves 2 as a snack
Spice Jacket
- Juice of ¼ of a lime
- ½ tsp ginger and garlic paste
- 1 tsp chilli powder
- ¼ tsp turmeric
- 2tsp rice flour
- 1tsp plain flour
- 2 tsp water
- 150g raw king prawns
- 3 tbs frying oil
- 1 tbs oil
- 1tsp mustard seeds
- 1 shallot, finely chopped
- ¼ tsp chilli powder
- ½ tsp ginger garlic paste
- Juice of ¼ of a lime
- Handful of curry leaves
- Salt to season
How To Make Chilli Prawns
To make the tarka, use a small pan and heat the oil over medium temperature and tip in the mustard seeds and wait until they pop. Now slide in the shallot and cook for 2-3 minutes until it's browned and then add the rest of the ingredients and turn the heat to low and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the tarka has dried a little and yields a feisty aroma.
For the spice jacket, simply mix the ingredients into a paste and toss the prawns through it. Using a frying pan, heat the oil over a medium temperature and fry the prawns for 3-4 minutes until lightly crispy. Add the prawns into the tarka pan and run through for a minute or two until the spices are clinging to the prawns and they're looking jammy and irresistible.
Sprinkle with lightly fried curry leaves and serve with coconut onion salad.

|Vibrio harveyi, which now includes Vibrio carchariae as a junior synonym, is a serious pathogen of marine fish and invertebrates, particularly penaeid shrimp. In fish, the diseases include vasculitis, gastro-enteritis and eye lesions. With shrimp, the pathogen is associated with luminous vibriosis and Bolitas negricans. Yet, the pathogenicity mechanisms are imprecisely understood, with likely mechanisms involving the ability to attach and form biofilms, quorum sensing, various extracellular products including proteases and haemolysins, lipopolysaccharide, and interaction with bacteriophage and bacteriocin-like substances.

phone snaps taken last month:
flowers in the sidewalk, mint water in coca-cola glasses
homemade red velvet (dairy free!), Seattle's 4th of July from our living room window
our last happy Schnitzel photo, Mighty O donuts
Our friend's Terminator birthday cake, my co-worker taking advantage of a sunny day
t-rex slippers (an amazing gift from Dave and Angela a few Christmases ago), broiled grapefruit breakfast
So, there were bright spots but honestly July was a brutal month for me. A lot of things seemed to fall apart in quick succession, the final thing being the loss of our cat (something we're going to struggle with for a long time). The only positive thing worth saying is that Dean and I have a remarkable support system in our friends, family, and co-workers. When I went back to the office, my co-workers had written a really lovely sympathy card and filled my desk with sweets and this beautiful bouquet of flowers (I hear the flowers are Ted's doing):
I'm glad Dean and I pulled thru this sad, stressful month together. Oh, August, I'm sure you'll bring us happier times.

5 Ways to Keep Your Time in Check and Your Projects on Track
How often do you feel like there aren't enough hours in the day to do everything you need to do? How often do you get in the groove of a project or task, only to be interrupted by an office drop-by, an incoming phone call, an "urgent" email, or a beep, buzz or chime on your cell phone?
Dozens of different tasks can demand our attention at any given point, and while we may try to multitask to get them all done, that modus operandi typically ends up being counterproductive.
In two articles in a recent issue of CUPA-HR's The Higher Education Workplace magazine, the authors offer advice on how to cut down on distractions and avoid time sucks in order to make the most of the time you have to get things done.
Here are five ways you can take back your time and start making a dent in your to-do list:
1) Chunk your time. In his article "The Multitasking Mirage," author Scott Blades suggests that rather than switching between multiple activities every few minutes, you should set aside chunks of time to focus on a specific task or a group of related tasks. An example of this would be to set aside 20 minutes to pay all of your bills at once rather than pay each one separately as you receive it. Or maybe you set aside an hour to work on that report you need to present at next week's meeting. "Focusing on a task for 20 minutes at a time or longer will allow you to get into the zone of whatever you're doing and make progress," he says.
2) Minimize distractions in your workspace. Blades also suggests being cognizant of distractions, especially the ones you can control. Some examples he offers: Does your email client issue sound alerts when you receive messages? If so, consider muting your computer while you're working on a task. Does your smartphone have a bunch of chirps, chimes and ringtones for every notification you receive from your apps? Research shows that the average person checks his or her phone 150 times a day. Unless you need to rely on your smartphone to do your job, you should consider minimizing or disabling the distracting notifications you receive or keeping your phone on mute.
3) Set clear priorities. Another tactic Blades suggests is to prioritize your to-do list. "A guaranteed way to become overwhelmed and ineffective is to take on too much work and view all of your tasks as equal priorities," he says. He suggests working with your supervisor or a trusted colleague to help you determine what needs your focus now, what can wait, and what you can release altogether.
4) Practice deep work. In his article "Defending Your Galaxy Against the Supervillains of Distractions," Darrell Easley makes the case for "deep work." Citing research by Cal Newport, Easley describes four ways philosophies for deep work, including the "rhythmic" approach, which consists of setting aside a consistent timeframe every day or every week to do certain tasks, and the "journalistic" approach, which involves shifting to meaningful work when time presents itself.
5) Create rituals around work. Easley suggests that when we create rituals around our work, we're more likely to stick to it. Says Easley, "Decide beforehand where you will work and for how long. Will you allow yourself to access the internet while working? Some projects may not require it, and some may. Will you turn off your ringer or switch your office phone mode to 'unavailable'? Maybe you close out of Outlook for two hours while you focus on a certain task. Maybe you schedule brain breaks for 15 minutes in the morning and 15 minutes in the afternoon."
Distractions and "emergencies" are all too common in our workdays. They're also a time drain, an energy sapper and a derailment of productivity. By using the strategies laid out here to make conscious decisions to focus on the task at hand, you'll be surprised at how quickly you're able to blow through that to-do list.

Do You Know?
Date : 22 JULY 2008
3 BJP MPs BROUGHT 1 CRORE IN THE PARLIAMENT SAYING THAT THE MONEY IS GIVEN TO THEM AS BRIBE TO SUPPORT THE GOVERNMENT IN THE TRUST VOTE…
L K Advani said "In my parliamentary career, I have never come across such a sad situation where MPs were offered money to abstain from voting (in the confidence vote)." Terming it a very unfortunate episode in the parliamentary democracy of the country, he demanded "a proper inquiry" into the incident. He also said that they have proof that the 3 MPs were given bribe. He said the tape which has the proof recored is with the leading news channel which has recored it. And the news channel has said that they will sent the tape to the speaker.
However, the Congress and the Samajwadi Party have termed the incident as a thought out game of the BJP. RJD supremo and Railway Minister Laloo Yadav said, "This (showing money in the House) is a ploy of the BJP." Amar Singh also challenged Adavni and the BJP to prove the allegations. Terming the concerned MPs as "political prostitute", he said, "Is it (Rs 3 crores) the price of the BJP MPs when there are rumours and claims that smaller parties' MPs are being offered 30-40 crores of Rupees."
Union Science and Technology Minister Kapil Sibal too demanded an investigation into the allegations by the BJP members. "The matter (of cash being brought into the House) needs to be investigated into," he said, soon after Lok Sabha was adjournment till 6 pm following the BJP MPs placing bundles of currency notes in the well of the House and alleging they were bribed.
"BJP wanted to disrupt the proceedings. So they came up with these allegations that its MPs were bribed by a SP leader," senior Congress leader Jayanti Natarajan said.
The BJP and BSP knew that the UPA is going to win the TRUST VOTE, so they planted a drama to destroy the image of the UPA Congress Government.. 3 BJP MPs brought 1 Crore cash into the central well of Lok Sabha and kept it in the table of the deputy speaker and started empting it saying they were offered those money to abstain from voting by SP members. The 3 MPs included in this "money for vote" operation was Ashok Argal, Mahavir Bhagora, and Faggan Singh Kulaste.
a) IF THEY HAVE PROOF THEN THEY MUST SHOW IT TO THE PEOPLE OF INDIA..
b) WHERE IS THE TAPE WHICH HAS THE PROOF ???
c) IF THE WHOLE INCIDENT WAS PLANTED THEN WE MAY CONCLUDE THAT THE BJP FOR HIS OWN GOOD OR FOR HIS OWN INTEREST CAN DO ANYTHING…
d) SHOULD THE PEOPLE OF INDIA VOTE FOR BJP AND BSP IN THE NEXT ELECTION…
e) IF IT IS PROOFED THAT THE INCIDENT WAS PLANTED WILL THE 3 BJP MPS BE PUNISHED…

The black and white, stop-motion animated 3D film Frankenweenie, from director Tim Burton and based on the ideas in his 1984 live-action short, is a heart-warming tale about a boy and his beloved dog. After unexpectedly losing Sparky, young Victor (voiced by Charlie Tahan) sews him back together and harnesses the power of science to bring his best friend back to life, but quickly faces unintended and sometimes monstrous consequences for his actions. The voice cast also includes Catherine O'Hara, Martin Short, Martin Landau, Atticus Shaffer and Winona Ryder.
During an early press day for the film, in which we got the chance to preview nearly 30 minutes of footage from the October 5th release, production designer Rick Heinrichs talked about his longtime collaboration and friendship with Tim Burton, what he loves about stop-motion animation, the process of taking the original drawings and turning them into three-dimensional figures, how the medium has changed with technology, and how surreal it is to go back and re-work the original idea for the film from 30 years ago. Check out what he had to say after the jump.
Question: How did you get involved with this project?
RICK HEINRICHS: Let's see, 30 years ago, we did the live-action Frankenweenie, and it was a fruition of a certain period of development that Tim [Burton] and I had gone through from CalArts to Disney. That was the last thing we did at Disney, at that time. In fact, we did Frankenweenie after we developing another little TV show that we were trying to sell, called The Nightmare Before Christmas, and that ended up happening later, as well. I was actually surprised to find out that a stop-motion version of Frankenweenie was going to happen, but the more I thought about it, the more I thought, "What a great idea!" I loved the live action version, and there was something great about doing all of the design sets on stage, in addition to the location and the interiors, and it got my own wheels turning about doing live-action films, in the future, which I have continued to do. But then the idea of looking at this again, as much as I love it, there's things that I wish we could have fixed about it. How often do you get to redo things like that? Doing it as a stop-motion animated film is appealing because that's my passion. And, Tim and I did Vincent together, many years ago, as a kick-off for those. I think when you see the film, you can see how sophisticated it's become. What I love about it is that it still feels handmade. You can still see the hand of the animator in there, and all of the passion that they're putting into the character. You don't necessarily think about it when you're watching it, which is great. It does feel like the actors are really acting. Those animators are just amazing, the way they act through these puppets. In terms of design, it's amazing to see it in black and white again, and really play with the tonal values in a much more controlled way, this time. When you're doing a live-action film, you're dealing with a lot more people and, as much as you want to control the sets and control the lighting, it's like wearing boxing gloves to try to do something delicate. With stop-motion animation, the cinematographer is lighting the set, and the set decorators and the model makers and the animators are all people you're talking directly to. You can fix things. It's on a scale where it's all fixable, and you can continue to manipulate things until it shoots. It's a longer process of prep and production as well, so you can really bring more, continuity to bear, on the whole process.
What's the most complex set in the film?
HEINRICHS: Well, the town is probably our most complex set. For any number of reasons of efficiencies, we really tried to restrict how that was going to get shot and be reasonable and, at the same time, give the sense of the character of the town, as a background of the people. Whenever we prepare for these things, we always design much more than we end up doing, so we have lots and lots of stores that we designed. It lives in this pseudo-Burbank world, which is where Tim grew up, coincidentally, but not exactly. It's post-war Southwestern America. It shares a little bit of design similarity to Edward Scissorhands, in the scene of a neighborhood or a flat sense of normal with this one aberration, sticking up in the background, which is very much of a signature motif for Tim. A lot of what he tries to do is to establish a sense of what's normal and show how that can be somewhat monstrous, in its own way. The idea of bringing your dog back to life is a nominally horrific idea, but it gets played out in this lovely way, and it ends up being a love story, really.
Did you use photo reference for it?
HEINRICHS: Yeah, we did what I would normally do on any film that's live-action or animation. We did a lot of research. We pulled together a lot of that mid-century modern look of suburbia, that's not really high-end stuff. It's really more of the tract housing of the post-war era. It created its own rhythm and feel to it, and now I think it's beautiful. It's so flat and says so much about the people who live there. And then, the black and white just looks beautiful.
How did the New Holland idea come up?
HEINRICHS: New Holland occurred with Tim and John August, at the story stage. It was all about having Dutch day, and also about how American communities really take these Old World elements and they turn it into this flat, suburban thing. They knock down all the maple trees and they call it Maple Street. It's this absconding of things out in the world, and making it your own thing. There was something characteristically American and charming about that, like Solvang. To be honest with you, I really think that it establishes a purpose for the windmill. Since we're not making it part of a miniature golf course, as we did in the live-action film, we had to find another reason for it to be. But, that's just my assumption.
Was there a reason why you made the sets were in color and the characters in black and white?
HEINRICHS: Yes, because the grass came that way. The reason why they're in color is partly because we were replacing skies and set extending and using backgrounds, so there is a lot of digital work going on in the background. What I love is the fact that you don't really think about that. All the stuff in the foreground is appropriately handmade and hand-animated. The look and feel of that, from the excellent visual effects people who did all the work on it, it's part of their job to make it all work as one world, to make sure what they do is not photo realistically, which would be their normal bent. They're actually matching a look and feel that's already there. We were chromocene, so there were green screens behind elements. And, all of the black and white gets timed and sweetened in post-production. But, all the dailies were shown in black and white. As far as everybody was concerned, they were living in a black and white world. This is a much smaller range of graphic elements. We're dealing with tone and shape and form and light, instead of color, and all the other stuff that comes with color. It's out of that, that we're trying to feeling and support the story. I think it looks beautiful. I think it does evoke a certain period of horror/science fiction films. It works in a dual way, and I know that Tim loves that stuff, as well.
Is that more liberating for you, or more challenging?
HEINRICHS: It's both liberating and challenging. The challenge is that you have to pay much more attention to that specific stuff because you don't have the other stuff to make it look great. Once you learn that and figure that out, then you realize that you are really dealing with elements. The tool kit is then atmospheric perspective, one foreground shape against another, lighting, texture and form. Originally, I was a sculptor, so that's appealing to me, as well.
What was the process of taking Tim's original drawings and translating them into these three-dimensional figures and creating a whole world from his sketches like?
HEINRICHS: I would have to go back to our early days of Disney when they were regenerating the studio. We were all working on The Fox and the Hound. It was initially exciting to be working on a Disney film, but then it just sagged in the middle, a little bit, although my kids like it. It's a good movie. You've got to imagine this place with all these young animators, all of whom have been told that they're special and are going to be amazing someday, and realize what it's like to do the work of a big, corporate animated film. And, we would just do stuff on the outside. We'd make Super 8 movies, and do anything we could to keep our blood going. I'd always been a fan of Tim's own work. I'm sure you've seen his sketches. What was appealing about them was the sense of character and beautiful line. I wanted to make it three-dimensional because I thought that his work was very three-dimensional, even though a lot of people at Disney thought it was very linear. Apparently, the hallmark of a Disney film is that they look very three-dimensional, back in those days. So, I just took it upon myself to make sculptures of his work, and there was just something different that happened. It was his intent and his look, but it was in light with form. It was just a very natural progression, to try to do those in a stop-motion animated film.
Has your job changed with like the advent of higher grade visuals and 3D?
HEINRICHS: Yes, it's much harder to do our job because you see every pore. I think that it is an incredibly appropriate use of digital technology. It was amazing to see all of the improvements and progressions that had happened, by the time we did Nightmare in the early '90s with motion control, but that was with old film technology. Now, with digital cameras, which are much smaller, the ability to completely restructure the entire process using computers, you still end up with a very believably handmade product, but you've just helped yourself enormously with all the other things that happened. So, I'm a fan of technology. I'm not a Luddite. My problem has been with purely digital films. I feel the danger there is that the kind of short-cuts you end up having to take are the ones that are most telling in the main characters. I don't feel that that's the case with what we've been doing on Frankenweenie.
What were the discussions like, to differentiate the look of this film from everything else that Tim's done?
HEINRICHS: There wasn't a conscious effort to differentiate it. My feeling is that, if you do your due process and go back to the well, grab the original inspiration and just develop it from the ground up, it is just, by its own nature, going to be different. It wasn't really intentional. With Tim, all of his films live in a Burton world, and there are different parts of that world that look a bit different. The point is never to intentionally make it not look like something else. The intent is always to go back to the source and figure out how that is informing this project.
Tim made the original Frankenweenie when he was a 25-year-old kid. Is it surreal to be revisiting it, this many years later, and to what degree are you trying to recreate what you did before?
HEINRICHS: You gain wisdom and you don't make the same mistakes. When you're that age, there's a kind of energy to what you do. Because you don't know enough not to make mistakes, there is something that is very infectious about the work. In the original Frankenweenie, there are a couple of things that are cringe worthy for me, like how we engineered the burning of the windmill. That's always been a problem for me. But, it was a live-action film, and you're on that rock, rolling down the hill. I do think back to that time with a lot of fondness about the young guys who were doing that stuff. It is so surreal to be able to go back and re-work something in a different way and, really, in a new way. Yes, it's the same story, but it really is different and it has a different feel to it, as well.
What made you and Tim hit it off, all those, all those years ago, and how has your personal chemistry been, through all these films that you've done together?
HEINRICHS: It started because his talents and mine intermeshed, rather than competed. Probably a lot of it is that I just really dug what he was doing and wanted to see it develop. And, with any relationship over years, it evolves. We've gone our separate ways and done different things. I've worked with Tim for the last two and a half or three years, pretty consistently, and it feels great to be able to pick that up again. There's a friendship there, and there's been an evolution over the years, as well.
Did you meet working at Disney, or at CalArts?
HEINRICHS: Well, actually, he was at CalArts. I'd already gone through four years of art school, and I was the oldest guy in the first year there because I wanted to do animation. All these guys, who were years younger than me, including, you know, John Lasseter and Brad Bird, and other people like that, were in a grade level above me, so we didn't actually start really working together until the studio.

A Cucumber Bonanza Update
My husband told me he was bringing some cucumbers home from a friend's house since they had already put up 24 quarts of pickles, which would cover their needs until next year. Little did I know that I would find 70 lbs of cucumbers when I pulled into the garage!
WOO HOO! A Cucumber Bonanza !!!!!!
Tomorrow he plans to start chopping cucumbers and preparing the jars while I am off to work. He's picked out a few recipes from the Ball book, all pickles and relishes. I'm very lucky that he enjoys this, probably more than I do.
And guess what . . . . he CLEANS AS HE GOES! Double lucky I'd say.
Chopped up a half tub of cucumbers so far 25-30 lbs
Bread and Butter pickles- about a third of a turkey fryer pot. About 8 lbs.
Relish a full stock pot full - 2 gallons. It has used 22 lbs of vegetables so far.
Only 12 jars canned so far, it will take us awhile.
I found some cucumber bread/cucumber cake recipes that I will try and then freeze.
Anyone want a cucumber?

I agree with lilHobbit.....this was fabulous!! And yes, I will be making this again but not everyday for the next several days. This is something that I am going to save for one of my husbands and my "date night" when we have raspberries in season. Thanks for the recipe Clare!!
Jul 2, 2010
It was very very good, did not care if it is too fattening, not like omeone is going to eat it 24/7,was a nice change of pace from the diet.
Jul 1, 2010
This receipe may be to fattening for some, but for my daughter who has cancer and having chemo, this is perfect. The taste is fantastic. Will make again, maybe try using blueberries.
Jul 1, 2010
Altogether way too fattening! There are other recipes using fresh raspberries without incorporating heavy whipping cream into the mix.

While LAMB OF GOD singer Randy Blythe is back home in America after five weeks in prison in the Czech Republic, his legal problems are far from over. Manslaughter charges are still hanging over Blythe, and at some point over the next few months he will have to return to Prague and stand trial.
Randy and his bandmates returned to the live stage last month in Council Bluffs, Iowa as part of SLIPKNOT's first-ever Knotfest, an extraordinary two-date metal and hard rock festival. The band has also announced a 38-date fall U.S tour starting October 30 in Phoenix, Arizona.
"It was almost therapeutic to get back on stage," LAMB OF GOD drummer Chris Adler (pictured below) told Billboard.com of the Knotfest shows in Iowa and Wisconsin. "People were screaming the name of the band and, of course, screaming Randy's name. So it was very cathartic to hear that and have that support and take the stage again. It felt great."
The drummer also revealed that LAMB OF GOD has no plans to alter its stage show in response to its legal issues in the Czech Republic. "It's difficult for us to say in any way that this was something that was our fault and that we should change how we're doing things, because we're already trying to look out for those kinds of incidents," Adler said.
"We certainly don't want to change what it is we do," he continued. "This is obviously a terrible tragedy that nobody foresaw or intended to happen. But it's such a random series of events that caused it to happen that I don't think us changing what we do would necessarily stop it from happening again."
Blythe was released from a prison in Prague on August 2, more than a month after he was arrested and incarcerated. The singer was accused of causing a 2010 incident in which a fan attending a LAMB OF GOD show died almost a month later, allegedly from injuries sustained when he was thrown off the stage. Blythe's predicament galvanized the heavy rock community, with artists across the hard rock genre pledging their support.
If convicted, Randy could face up to 10 years in prison, but Adler is optimistic that the singer will be found innocent.
"They haven't really played their hand out in the case and what they have on us," Chris told Billboard.com. "Obviously this tragedy happened, but how they're going to go about prosecuting is a mystery to us. Not knowing how their justice system works and being repeatedly surprised by events from when we landed there, who knows what will happen? But we believe that we are innocent of it and justice will sort itself out."

SOCIAL FEED EFFECTSHey You All, Dont really know if some of it are already there to see or someone already talked about this.. but i guess it would be fun to have them or at least see more of a little. Extra Feature: Manager/Club Social Feed Management -available for both personal and club social feeds. -More effective social media for manager interests/rumours; maybe following a club which are currently in need of a new manager/change soon, may easily be seen as breaking news nowadays. Same thing applies to players following clubs/your club to bring attention to his /her (idream to see one day!) services. -Deeper story instances for example: a player having a notorious night out during out of his leisure time breaking into the news around social feed/effect on player morale for exposure/teammate feeling let down etc.. Or joining late for summer camp for personal business, extra holiday time etc.. -Publishing/promoting clubs new facilities, investments, club links, new signings, milestones, icons/legends/club favourites, fan culture/rivalry, maybe publishing some good old real fan/stands, legend moment photos etc. -Maybe top ten followed clubs/players all around the world/get special/personal/club representing sponsorships for kits/stadium as well. (this could be open for real brands for higher R&D for all of us!) There should be a ton of ideas to improve but I guess some of these could be fun to have and i thought why not share! Fun fact: "TURKEY have parted ways with fiery boss Fatih Terim just two weeks after he was involved in a kebab shop brawl. " Social feed exposure baby

Q. Is there a reason geese fly in v shape?
A. It's always been thought that geese and other migratory birds fly in a v shape to conserve energy but there hasn't been any direct evidence showing how birds actually conserve energy by flying in this formation.
Until recently that is. In a study that was published in 2014, European researchers used 14 captive bred northern bald ibis'. These ibis' were hatched at a zoo in Austria and were about to undergo a paraplane-led migration. Researchers took advantage of this situation and fitted each of the 14 birds with data loggers.
It turns out that migrating birds take advantage of something called upwash. Upwash is created when a leading bird flaps its wings and creates a vortex of upward flowing air off of its wingtip. If the trailing bird flies to its side in this flowing air, or upwash, it requires less energy to maintain its altitude. In contrast, there is also a downwash of air. This is where a bird does not want to be! When a flapping wing cuts through the air, directly behind the wing is a downwash of air which causes any birds flying here to use more energy to maintain its height.
While flying in a v formation never looked like an easy task, we now know there is much more going on for birds to take advantage of this energy saving formation! Birds have to constantly change their position to take advantage of the upwash created by the bird in front – an area that is constantly changing with the wing flaps of the leading bird.

What is PORC?
That's easy – PORC stands for Peninsula Obstacle Racing Course
Peninsula Obstacle Racing Course (PORC) located in Mornington was created by Ray Hutchinson to help him train for various obstacle racing events around Australia. Eventually, the course evolved into Melbourne's premiere purpose built obstacle course spread over 3 km of mixed terrain and consisting of 30+ fun and challenging military-style obstacles.
PORC is open and available to individuals, small groups, large groups, schools, personal trainers and boot camps to come down and experience this permanent obstacle course. Sound use it for training, other for skills development and team work. Whatever your goal, you'll leave PORC with a sense of achievement and a lot of sore muscles.
Peninsula Obstacle Racing Course is also the perfect venue for larger scale obstacle course races (OCR's) and is already home to events such as Muddy Hell and Zombie Apocalypse.

Bipolar Psychotic Features
As discussed in Bipolar Psychotic Features Part 1, someone with bipolar could in fact experience psychotic symptoms. In Part 1, I shared with you hallucinations in all five senses that I have experienced. In this post, we will take a look at delusions.
Basically when a bipolar person has delusions, he or she has lost touched with reality. Having delusions can be pretty scary for the person who experiences them.
I have had several delusions that are attached to my bedroom. The first delusion is I believe there is an evil clown hiding under my bed who wants to kill me. I also have the belief there are Russian spies living in my closet. If I open the door, they will jump out and kill me. A more recent delusion is I see mice and rats as well as their feces all around my home. Even though I gained weight due to my psychotropic medicines as well as the depression, I still saw myself as thin. I believed everyone at the office was talking about me.
My very first delusion was when I was a child. There was a bookcase in my bedroom. It had all kinds of dusty old books. But I did not see a bookcase, I saw hills. Hiding out in those hills were Indians. These Indians were on a war path to kill me. Every night when I went to sleep, I was afraid of that bookcase.
Each person's experience with bipolar psychotic features such as delusions is different. Someone might think they are god. They could believe aliens have tapped into their brain. Maybe their boss is out to get them.
The Reality of It All
These delusions may sound absurd, but they are real to the person having them. There are times when my heart pounds so hard that I can hear it in my ears as I am walking up the stairs to go to my bedroom. I really hate going to bed. I would rather sleep on the couch with my two dogs than go in a room where there are evil clowns and killer spies.
If you have ever experienced delusions, put your comment below. You can also email me at firstname.lastname@example.com

Yesterday, The Huffington Post published an article from Peter Diamandis about 3D Printing & Technology Convergence. While I respect Peter and Avi Reichental as innovators in their respective fields, I feel compelled to disagree with several of their points.
But, let's start with where we do agree. Peter starts his article with this:
"An expert might be reasonably good at predicting the growth of a single exponential technology (e.g. 3D Printing), but try to predict the future when A.I., Robotics, VR, Drones, and Computation are all doubling, morphing and recombining… You have a very exciting (read: unpredictable) future."
I'll agree with that statement wholeheartedly. In fact, virtual reality and 3D printing both use similar types of input (3D renderings). The main difference is in the output. Would you like that as a virtual experience or physical product?
I also think Avi's point about speed is spot-on. New technologies like those being touted by HP, Carbon and others do show amazing promise. But, I think other machine specifications, like build area, are equally important. When people think of larger size machines, they immediately think of larger parts. One of the key learnings in 2D was that a larger print area could also allow you to create lots of small pieces in one pass (gang runs).
It comes down to economics. Even though the cost of acquisition is much higher, the productivity of a large machine generally equals lower cost. I think we're a few years from that type of throughput.
Here's where we start to disagree:
"Today we can 3D print in full color and in over 250 different materials ranging from titanium to rubber, plastic, glass, ceramic, leathers and even chocolate."
First, from a numbers standpoint, arguably the best source of information is the Senvol database. It tracks, among other things, the number of printers and substrates available for 3D printing. It currently lists over 550 different 3D printer models and over 725 substrates available for printing.
My real problem with the statement though, has to do with 3D printing in full color. Today, there are basically 3 ways to do it:
- The first is in sandstone (or plastic) using a powder-based process. The technology typically uses Cyan, Magenta, and Yellow only, creating blacks from those other colors (process black). In my experience, the color pallet with these technologies is pretty limited (about 650 colors vs. over 4,000 Pantone colors).
- The second is a resin-based approach favored by Stratasys with their Connex3. The machine also allows for 3 colors, plus support material. It can also vary the properties of a material, allowing both rigid and flexible surfaces. But, it will only hit about a fifth of the color spectrum in one print. You can have pinks, reds, and whites, or blues and greens, but not all colors simultaneously.
- The third is via the MCOR machines. They "print" using plain old paper. Sheets (or pinfed rolls) of paper are inserted into the machine, where they are digitally die-cut, and stacked on top of one another to create a physical object. Then, they can be sprayed with four color inkjet to achieve the affect.
As I've written many times, I think full color is one of the major hockey stick drivers of 3D printing. Most of the mass produced products we use are decorated in some way. Digitally manufactured products must follow suit.
Top Breakthroughs 2016–2018
I just wrote an article where I quoted MakerBot CEO, Jonathan Jaglom saying:
"If you ask me, five to seven years from now, I really do believe there will be a printer in every person's home," he said. "And we're gonna work to get to there."
Most of the estimates I've seen show the industry selling maybe 5 million printers annually by then. There are 100+ million households in the U.S. alone.
Which makes this statement (by Avi) a bit hard to swallow:
"At the end of the day, your home food printer will create a personalized nutrition bar based on your needs in that moment, containing the amount of proteins, carbs, vitamins and supplements needed in that moment."
I don't really think this will happen in practice, even for a small minority of people, by 2018. Now institutionally? That's a different story.
The next prediction has to do with 3D printed shoes and apparel. I see the opportunity, but real issues lie in HOW all those people's measurements will be scanned and WHERE there products will be manufactured and sold. Since almost all apparel is sold at retail today, you have to assume they are part of the solution. So far, that's been slow to materialize.
The last I'll mention is 3D printed body parts. While we have made amazing progress, I think we're more than a few years before anyone on an organ donation list should get excited. It may not be the technology's fault. Significant regulatory hurdles will need to be resolved before any of this becomes mainstream.
In an era where a guy who raises the price of lifesaving drugs by thousands of percent, and then scoffs at a Congressional hearing, it may not matter. If the people with the patents make a cash grab, this technology could be little more than a pipe dream for the majority of us.
In conclusion, I see a lot of people talking about the future of 3D printing. Most predictions are focused on the WHAT and WHY. I see fewer people talking about WHO, WHEN, WHERE and HOW. When you start asking those questions, it gets easier to separate what's probable from merely plausible.

This Friday (22nd September) is Jeans For Genes Day and Blue Stream Academy employees will be overdoing it in denim to raise money and awareness.
1 in 25 children in the UK are born with a genetic disorder – that amounts to more than 30,000 babies born each year. There are between 4,000 and 6,000 diagnosed genetic disorders and whilst some genetic disorders are apparent at birth while others are diagnosed at different stages throughout childhood, and sometimes into adulthood.
We all inherit a range of talents, skills and personality traits through our genes – they're part of what makes us who we are. But half a million children in the UK face the daily challenges of a genetic disorder. By pulling on a pair of jeans, we will be helping to fund the vital care and support services that transform their lives.
Jeans For Genes Day invites people to leave their suits and uniforms at home and wear their jeans to work or school in return for a donation which will help change the lives of children across the UK. Jeans for Genes Day provides vital funding for the care and support of children with genetic disorders.
Every penny you give helps transform the lives of children affected by genetic disorders; your donations will fund the care and support children, and their families need today.
- £10 will pay for 60 minutes of specialist telephone advice for parents caring for a child with severe neurological genetic conditions.
- £50 will pay for a mother to attend a support day, giving her the help she needs to care for an extremely rare and profoundly disabling genetic condition.
- £100 will help fund an educational booklet, helping teachers to maximise opportunities available to children with inherited learning disabilities.
- £350 will pay for a child with a genetic disorder to spend a weekend away with other children like them, supported by trained medical staff.
- £1,000 will help fund a film for teenagers with a life limiting condition, helping them to come to terms with, and encouraging them to begin to take responsibility for, their condition.
- £1,300 will give a child who has lost the ability to speak access to a Tobii Eye Gaze machine, so that they can communicate with their eyes.
- £2,000 will pay for a specialist nurse to support families affected by genetic disorders.
For further information and/or to order a free fundraising kit please visit the Jeans for Genes website.
