This Eastern Promise Embossing Board has the perfect flair for a a unique card or theme party invitation. The decorative fans make give this card a hand-made touch that will impress all of your friends!
- Eastern Promise Embossing Board
- 1 Sheet Of Letter Size Card (Main Body Of Card)
- Several Pieces Of Scrap Card Or Paper
- 6mm Embossing Tool
- Top Score Scoreboard (And Scorer)
- Drier Cloth Or Candle
- Low Tack Tape
- Foam Pads
- Adhesive
- Embellishments
- Scissors
Step 1
Score and fold the main sheet of cardstock in half using the Top Score Multiboard. Place this face down on the embossing
board and rub the drier cloth onto the back of the card (the wrong side of the card where you are going to emboss). Lay the
card onto the board with the bottom right corner butted up to the end pegs.
Step 2
As we are going to emboss the Bamboo canes as a background, we need to centralise the design in the centre of the card so we need to slide the cardstock across the board and hold in place with some low tack tape as shown here.
Step 3
Locate the embossing tool in the first leading channel at the bottom of the board. With a firm pressure push the tool up the
channel until you feel some resistance. Feel your way with the embossing tool until you find the direction the design is going
in. If you find this difficult it may help to emboss the design onto paper first and keep it at the side of you for a reference. Emboss all 3 Bamboo canes in this way.
Step 4
Turn the board over and place a piece of the scrap cardstock up to the pegs along the bottom and the side and hold in place
with low tack tape. Wipe the card with the drier cloth again and emboss both of the fan designs. Repeat this on pieces of scrap design paper to enhance the design. Carefully cut around the outside of the embossed designs and stick the pieces of
design paper to the fan. Here we have 3 different fans created in this way.
Step 5
Mount the fans onto foam squares and stick to the main card in different directions trying not to completely cover the Bamboo embossing you did earlier.
Tip: If you have any fine line border stickers or a gold pen and faux gems you can add to the embellishment of the fans and make them look very authentic. Just add a sentiment and an insert and you have a beautiful card.

The systematic review by Auriemma et al1 provides a valuable synthesis of the evidence on stability of end-of-life (EOL) treatment preferences. Among 24 longitudinal studies included in quantitative analysis, they found that in most (17 of 24), more than 70% of patients' preferences for EOL care were stable over periods ranging from weeks to years. The results suggest a greater degree of preference stability among inpatients and seriously ill outpatients than among older adults without serious illness (although the former groups were assessed over shorter time periods), as well as a higher rate of stable preferences among patients who have engaged in advance care planning. The authors are careful not to overinterpret these results, noting the heterogeneity in studies precluding meta-analytic estimates, the use of hypothetical rather than "real world" scenarios, and the significant minority of patients who change their preferences for future treatment over time. However, they conclude that EOL preferences are generally stable, particularly among patients for whom advance directives may be most beneficial.

[Previous] | [Session 33] | [Next]
Kaya Mori, C.J. Hailey (Columbia Astrophysics Laboratory)
Complete modeling of radiative transfer in neutron star atmospheres is in progress, taking into account the anisotropy induced by magnetic fields, non-ideal effects and general relativity. As part of our modeling, we present a novel atomic calculation method (Multiconfigurational Effective Potential Method) producing an extensive atomic data set including energy values and oscillator strengths in the so-called Landau regime (B > 4.7\times109Z2 G). Conventional atmosphere models for B=0 are not applicable to typical field strengths of cooling neutron stars (B ~ 1012-1013 G), since an atom no longer keeps its spherical shape so the wave functions must be expanded in terms of Landau states and a component along the field. The composition and the configuration of the magnetic field in the atmosphere are presently unknown, so that atomic data must be produced for ground and excited states of several ion states in various magnetic fields. To accomplish this, we reduced computation time significantly by minimizing the iterations in the Hartree equation and treating exchange terms and higher Landau states by perturbation methods. Inclusion of higher Landau states gives us much more accurate data for inner orbits unlike other methods based on the adiabatic approximation. While existing atomic data in the Landau regime are available only for low Z atoms, our method can be readily extended to elements up to Fe with sufficient accuracy to be of relevance for spectroscopic missions such as XMM-Newton, Chandra and next-generation X-ray telescopes. Opacity tables based on our atomic data base will be used to construct model atmospheres by comparison with observation data from recent X-ray telescopes.

5 Reasons 'The Hunger Games' Is Creepier Than You Think
#2. It Costs Too Much
The costs of arena maintenance are of course substantial, and well documented elsewhere. But in this case, they're dwarfed by another, less obvious cost: the cost of the children themselves.
In the past, poets have attempted to assign a value to children based on hard-to-quantify notions like the warmth of their hugs, or the twinkle in their eyes, or the pure expression of delight on their faces when they see their first snowflakes. But later analysis has since shown that those qualities aren't actually worth anything.
"Nope. Says here anyone can enjoy a snowflake. Except for scientists ..."
Now, economists are more likely to state that the value of a child is simply a discounted sum of that child's future economic output. And since children are, by convention, quite young, this implies that their future economic output is potentially quite high. By getting these children to kill themselves so wastefully, we're depriving our factories and Walmart entrances of the labor they'll need to compete in the 21st century.
#1. It Wastes Valuable Child Meat
The meat from children is incredibly illegal to actually possess or even really to type about, so everyone just be cool, OK? But that said, there are people, on the Internet certainly, and I'm also going to guess in mountainside European castles, who are very interested in both child meat and not wasting child meat.
Why these people place so much value on child meat isn't known -- all interview requests were angrily rejected. Were I willing to speculate -- and it turns out that I am -- I would suggest that tenderness is a particularly prized feature. They may also be very health-conscious, and perhaps interested in the lower levels of bioaccumlative toxins like lead or PCBs that would be found in child-flesh. Or they're simply so jaded and overly wealthy that they can't enjoy anything that doesn't involve destroying someone else.
Donald Trump has fired his wife mid-coitus no less than 800 times.
For these people, nothing could be worse than arena-based child-centric melees. Because given the dangers of arenas and the general clumsiness of children, it's all but a guarantee that any child-meat produced by their combination will be, if not completely ruined, then certainly in need of heavy saucing.
Interestingly, Donald Trump has also fired his saucier no less than 800 times, at least one of those times mid-coitus.

Bonavista Bay
Bonavista Bay is an inlet on the Atlantic coast of Newfoundland between Cape Freels and CAPE BONAVISTA. Roughly 65 km wide, it contains a large number of densely forested islands that shelter the mainland from northeasterly winds and create hundreds of kilometres of virtually landlocked waters.
Several fishing villages, the largest of which is BONAVISTA, lie along the bay's rugged, deeply indented coastline. The LABRADOR CURRENT sweeps past Cape Freels, regularly filling the outer bay with water cooler than -1°C and occasionally depositing an ICEBERG. Nonetheless, the protected inner bay warms up sufficiently for propagation of lobsters and supported an important inshore cod fishery until the cod moratorium was put in place in the early 1990s. Apart from fishing, lumber and transportation are the major industries of the area.
Over the years the waters of the bay have been the scene of scientific investigations of cod distribution relative to temperature and of fishing methodology. Cape Bonavista is the starting point for a series of hydrographic sections (the "Bonavista Triangle") carried out by the International Ice Patrol to monitor the Labrador Current and to help to forecast iceberg movement.

THE rand was under pressure, tracking the euro weaker in afternoon trade on Friday in the wake of weak US jobs data and lingering uncertainty over Europe's multiple debt crises.
At 80000 new jobs in June, US non-farm payrolls came in short of the estimated 100000 jobs expected, pointing to further weakness in the world's largest economy.
June's weak US jobs figures came hot on the heels of similarly disappointing US manufacturing and services data, further souring investor sentiment.
At 3.55pm, the rand was bid at R8,2668 to the dollar from its previous close of R8,1347. It was bid at R10,1690 to the euro from its previous close of R10,0690 and at R12,8066 against sterling from R12,6167 before.
The euro was bid at $1,2307 from its previous close of $1,2383.
"The US data fell short of expectations. We have been tracking the euro and it seems it will be much of the same into next week," a local trader said.
The soft employment report, however, failed to hurt the dollar, with analysts putting forward various reasons for the currency's apparent disregard for the dire economic conditions reflected in the recent slew of poor data.
Neil Jones, economist at Mizuho, argued that the report was not weak enough to launch a third round of quantative easing, Dow Jones Newswires reported.
More importantly, investors may perceive the weak report as an addition to the broader backdrop of a global slowdown - in which case, the dollar is favoured as a safe-haven currency.
Mr Jones said the jobs reading prompted him to increase short bets on the euro against the dollar. "The euro underperformed on signs of more sluggish global growth, given the eurozone will rely on external demand to stand any chance of revival."
He saw the euro dropping to at least $1,15 before the year's end.

Love This Product
I have great hair and very particular about what I use. Although I don't need this
for my hair I love the way this makes me feel. My husband also loves it we both use it everyday without any issues. I use it on my grandkids as well. A brush goes right through without a tangle. They love it and the smell.

Great Product, Poor Packaging
i have (truly) frizzy, curly hair and quite like this shampoo, as well as the hydrate conditioner. It's not the best I've ever used or anything but I do like it over many others. HOWEVER, the bottle design is SO bad that I would say the last 1/3 to 1/4 of product in the bottle stays there! Frankly, I'm very surprised that such a high end product that likely invests a lot of money in the research and manufacture of the actual product would not invest equal effort and money into the bottle design so that you can actually extract and use the product????!!!!!! Given the high cost of this conditioner and how much of it unfortunately goes to waste because it is inaccessible, I don't think it's worth it to spend the money on it, personally. There are other products that work just as well as this shampoo and conditioner such as Sebastian's Hydre Shampoo and Conditioner. If there's any way to communicate this information to Pureology, I think it might dramatically assist with their sales.

Great But Not Daily
This shampoo feels great and I actually feel like it's moisturizing my hair. However, because I have finer hair, I try not to use this daily. As with other Pureology shampoos, the smell is a bit strange... herbal and minty. Better smelling than the Volumizing line though.

Good Product
I switch back and forth between this and the volumizing and love both. For some reason you need to be more careful with this product about using too much. It can cause a bad hair day if you do. It truely does what it says and makes your color last longer. It has also seemed to help hold those natural highlights made by the sun. Love that!

Super Straight Not Super Good For Colored Hair.
The conditioner is great. The shampoo does contain sulfates. I used it after coloring some purple streaks on my hair and it pulled more purple dye out of my hair than my normal drug store brand...I was quite upset. Also too expensive...really not worth $25.

Good Product But Not Sulfate Free
I do like this shampoo and conditioner very much but the ingredients on my bottle clearly list sulfates, so it should not be promoted as a sulfate free product.

Nice And Easy
The first time I used it, don't feel nothing diferent. But, two weeks later (I wash my hair 3 times at week), I saw a shiny hair, no oily, nice, no heavy,the most important thing was, that I thought a needed dandruff shampoo, because I had itchy, and white things in my head, but in the beauty supply don't have Pureology for this, and just get a normal one.....
My itchy desappeared and the white thinks too, I only had dry scalp.

Try It!
The results of this shampoo and conditioner system is AWESOME! I have fine hair that I straighten everyday and I noticed a difference the first time I used this, my hair felt and looked incredibly healthy and still does after repeated use! The smell is okay, not anything to drool over. It might be pricey, but you don't use a whole lot because it lathers up a whole lot so it lasts longer than regular shampoo. This system gets rid of dryness and promotes healthy, manageable, shiny, and soft hair. Try it!

Great Product
Pureology is pricey, but it is like washing your hair with pretty! I have color treated, thick, wavy hair that tends to frizz. Using the Hydrate Shampoo and Conditioner leaves it feeling soft and luxurious. My only complaint is the cost.

Not Amazing...
It's been 3 weeks since I first started using Pureology. I find it to be an ok shampoo, but far from anything amazing. Pros: great lather, decent smell (like licorice) Cons: did nothing for my flaky scalp and tends to make my hair limp Would I buy it again? Probably not due to its cost which doesn't give you much bang for your buck.

It's about as good as high school footbal gets: County and neighborhood rivals squaring off for local bragging rights around the state.
In a top rivalry game between Top 20 mainstays, No. 2 Bergen Catholic beat No. 7 St. Joseph (Montvale) in Oradell, 30-17, as quarterback Jon Germano threw three TD passes, two to John Tsimis and one to Justin Kulcsar. Check out the video highlights.
In Essex County, it was West Orange holding crosstown rival Seton Hall Prep to one rushing yard in the first half and cruising to a 50-7 victory at West Orange. Austin Vanderhoof scored four TDs in the first half and passed for one in the second for West Orange.
Sussex County's best rivalry pits crosstown rivals Sparta vs. Pope John, at Pope John. Jake Melville scored on a 5-yard TD run with 10 minutes left in the fourth quarter and Sparta beat Pope John, 13-6.
In Morris County, it was Delbarton beating Morristown, 41-20, as John Shaffer threw three TD passes and standout running back Jamie White, who missed much of the first half with an undisclosed injury, returned with a 74-yard TD run in the third quarter.

Pittsburgh Penguins (7-4-0) @ Carolina Hurricanes (4-4-3)
Root Sports, FS-CR – 7:00 pm/et
PNC Arena, Raleigh, NC
The Pens bring their three-game losing streak into Carolina to play the Hurricanes. Scuderi, Bennett and Neal are still out for the Pens. Basically everyone not named Staal is injured for Carolina.
Double J, Jussi Jokinen, had a hat trick the last time these two teams met.
Leading Scorers:
Penguins: Sidney Crosby (8G, 10A: 18P)
Hurricanes: Jeff Skinner (3G, 6A: 9P)
Starting Goaltenders:
Penguins: Marc-Andre Fleury (7-2-0, 1.88 GAA, .926 Sv% )
Hurricanes: Justin Peters (0-2-0, 3.16 GAA, .891 Sv%)
Last Games:
Penguins: Lost to Toronto Maple Leafs 4-1.
Hurricanes: Lost to Colorado Avalanche 4-2.
Previews from Team Websites: [Penguins] [Hurricanes]
Line Combinations and Notes: [Sutters and Staals and Canes, oh my!]
Opposition Blog: [Shutdown Line]
What They're Saying: "Hurricanes Week in Review 10/21 – 10/27"
So should we expect the Canes to rebound once they have more intra-division games? Possibly, but they still have a lot of games to play against the West this year and can't continue to get outplayed and leave points on the table, especially if they have playoff aspirations. We've seen the Canes play well enough to at least get to overtime against top-tier teams like Los Angeles & Chicago, so they have the ability to keep up with them. Unfortunately, none of that was present when they took on Minnesota & Colorado on the road this past week.
What Happened Last Time: October 8, 2013 – Pens won 5-2 [Our Recap]
The Hurricanes are still paying Jussi Jokinen around $900,000. So when GM Jim Rutherford opens up his bank statment, he is going to vomit uncontrollably. This is basically like enduring a breakup and then having to pay for your ex to go out on unlimited dates, and you have to sit there and watch all of them.
The Penguins are basically doing whatever they want to their opponents right now. Mind you, they haven't played any of the big boys yet, but you can see the change. The defense is worlds better than last season. Hell, Carolina even had this game tied in the third, and it still felt like the Pens were going to roll.
Jussi Jokinen was definitely the story in this one, though.
Penguins Player(s) to Watch: Jussi Jokinen, because it's always fun to watch him score goals against the team that still pays part of his salary.
Hurricanes Player(s) to Watch: Justin Peters. He's not a starting goalie, so there's a good chance he'll play like the love child of Patrick Roy and Martin Brodeur against the Pens.
Gif that Seems Appropriate for Today's Game:


text:
Defenseman Jon Landry has been recalled from Johnstown of the ECHL and will join the Syracuse Crunch in time for tomorrow night's home game vs. Albany.
Landry will help fill in for blueliner Clay Wilson, who was traded to the Atlanta organization Wednesday. He has seven goals and 14 assists in 37 games for Johnstown this season.
Syracuse coach Ross Yates said some combination of Landry, Aaron Rome, Nick Holden, Grant Clitsome, Andrey Plekhanov and Kyle Wharton will work the power play points this weekend.
"I think it's a good trade for Columbus, and it hurts our team,'' Yates said. "That's the type of business we are in. We just have to move on.''
Wilson is going to start with the Wolves, and I spoke to Chicago GM Kevin Cheveldayoff about him. He said Wilson had been on Atlanta's radar because Thrashers assistant coach Todd Nelson coached him in the UHL.
"He's got a heavy shot, someone who sees the ice well, plays the game the right way,'' Cheveldayoff said. "Hopefully he's someone who can make a great impression in the Atlanta organization.''
Chicago has the second-worst PP in the AHL, at 11.8 percent. Parent club Atlanta helped quickly address that issue in the past couple of days by trading for playmaking blueliners Wilson and Brett Skinner. Hmmm.

The play was etched firmly in Jeffrey Phillips' mind. It was something he would rather not remember but couldn't forget.
"We were playing Whitharral for the district championship last Nov. 3," Phillips said. "It was in the first quarter, and I went to make a tackle. I got blind-sided on the play, and my leg got tangled up with the other guy's. At first, I thought I just twisted it real bad.
"At the moment it happened, I didn't know how serious it was. I remember wishing for the best but bracing myself for the worst. I had to go back to the doctor on the Monday following that game. It was Wednesday of that week that I got the news. I tore the ACL and five other ligaments. At the time I thought I might be able to come back in time for basketball and track, but it didn't happen."
Phillips wound up missing both seasons. It was something he wasn't used to.
"The most serious injury I'd had was a broken wrist," he said. "But that didn't keep me from playing other sports. This (the knee injury) was the worst thing I've had to go through."
Earlier this summer, his doctor gave Phillips the OK to return to football this year, which will be his senior year.
He celebrated the news by going out and playing summer league basketball.
"The knee is fine," he said. "I think it will be as good as before. I went pretty hard in basketball and it felt fine. I'm looking forward to getting back to football."
Longhorns head coach Mark Scisson is anxious to have Phillips back at full strength.
"Jeffrey is a key player for us," Scisson said. "He is a solid player at end and an excellent blocker. In our spread formation, he plays tight end. When we line up in the tight formation, he is the regular end.
"I know missing our last few regular-season games and two in the playoffs was hard on him. He especially hated having to miss out on basketball and track.
"We're just happy that he is able to come back from such a serious injury. There was a time that coming back was doubtful. The doctors weren't sure he would be able to come back, but I think he will."
The Longhorns went from 3-7 two years ago to last season's 8-3 mark and a berth in the playoffs. Scisson thinks this year's team can improve on that.

I leave you with some feedback we have received
Thanks a million for everything – especially for having invited me and for being such a good host. I learned a huge amount and it was an honor to be asked.
Bill Buxton
Principal Researcher, Microsoft Research
I wish to congratulate you on your organizational acumen. Having organized several meetings and conferences in my long career with the United Nations, I know how hard it is to convene such an event. Mine is, therefore, an honest appreciation of your competence. Under your fine leadership, USID Foundation is sure to grow from strength to strength.
Dr. Yogesh Atal
Eminent Sociologist & Anthropologist
I had a fabulous time at USID 2010, and thanks for organising another great event; and most importantly, the wonderful hospitality and warmth that you and your team showered on everyone - in the highest traditions of India's Atithi Deivo Bhava ethos. The intense interaction and learning that happens at the events you organize are in stark contrast to the typical events I have attended in India; there is much that so-called 'Event Planners' in India can learn ….
Dr. Murli Nagasundram
Head, Learning Innovation, Manipal Universal Learning
Thanks for a great conference. I really enjoyed being a part of it. I would like to see how CKS can support USID activities in the future. Let's find the ways……. make that happen.
Aditya Dev Sood
Founder and President, Center for Knowledge Societies
On behalf of MakeMyTrip team would like to thank you and your redoubtable team for making USID2010 event a great success this year too. All attendees from MakeMyTrip had great experience and learning at this event with opportunity to listen to great speakers from the industry sharing their insights on 'Designing Consumer Experiences for emerging Markets'. Looking forward for future events in Delhi/Gurgaon region and MMT's participation in same!!!
Dushyant Arora
Senior Manager, User Experience, MakeMyTrip.com
Congratulations on a splendid conference. I am sure you and your team have worked very hard to make this a success and that effort has truly bore fruits. The finale Kathakali performance was really the icing on the cake. I thoroughly enjoyed the sessions from eminent speakers like Bill Buxton, Prof. Atal, Prof. Ranjan, Warren Greving and Paul Nervoort. ……
Dr. Ajay Kolhatkar, PhD
Future Web Research Lab, SETLabs, Infosys Technologies Limited
Have heard great things about the conference from those who attended (and from Kunal even prior). Look forward to developing awesome experiences for the emerging markets (wish I were there!).
Amit Somani
Chief Product Officer, MakeMyTrip.com
It was great ….. thanks for all the help and arrangements that you navigated so well, despite many being last minute!
Deepa Bachu
Offering & Group Leader, Emerging Market Innovation, Intuit India
Thanks a lot for creating and nurturing such a wonderful event… I had a great time attending the conference….I was overawed when listening to the diverse talks…… It was also a great opportunity to see what the student community was up to……gurukul was an excellent idea which brought in students and gurus from diverse fields together which enabled them to create a mosaic which no individual could form. I would be thrilled if I get a chance to be a student at such a gurukul. At the end of the 3 day presentation I was sad that the event was over…..In the end when I came back to Bangalore there was a spring in my step with the confidence I gained and the childlike enthusiasm rekindled. I look forward to many more interactions with you and USID.
Sridhar Surpanini,
Software Architect and an aspiring Interaction Designer, MR, Philips Healthcare
Kudos to you and your team for a putting up a fantastic show.
Nishant Jain
CEO, Design For Use
I must say I learnt quite a few things from this conference. I would like to contribute to this conference in a way you think best.

NSCLC is "Major Battlefield" as Merck,...
PolyTherics raised £2.15 million (almost $3.44 million) to apply its polymer-protein conjugation technologies to an expanding range of proteins and peptides. The money will help the company pursue new applications of these technologies.
This investment follows on previous financing rounds in 2007 and 2010, which raised £2.3 million and £3 million, respectively, from Imperial Innovations, Longbow Capital, and The Capital Fund. The current round was led by Imperial Innovations with participation from The Capital Fund and new investor Proven Health VCT. Imperial Innovations committed £1.2 million, ProVen Health invested £0.75 million, and Capital Fund gave £0.2 million. Following the investment, Imperial Innovations will hold a 38.6% stake in the PolyTherics.
PolyTherics has applied its PEGylation platforms for half-life extension to a range of proteins and peptides including interferons, blood factors, and a variety of antibody formats like antibody fragments (Fabs), single chain antibodies (scFv), as well as novel protein scaffolds.
The firm has three technologies. TheraPEG™ allows PEGylation across one or more disulfide bonds naturally present in a protein. HiPEG™ enables PEGylation at a histidine tag that is expressed at one or both ends of a protein or peptide. CyPEG™ can be used for PEGylation at the thiol group of free cysteine within a protein or peptide.
"Applying our linker chemistry to novel biomolecules at an early stage can improve their properties so development can proceed with greater confidence that their biological properties will translate into therapeutic benefit," remarks John Burt, CEO.
PolyTherics is developing two biobetter products, which it intends to out-license for clinical development and commercialization: Interferon (IFN) α-2a was PEGylated using HiPEG and IFN β-1b on TheraPEG. The company has selected a contract manufacturing organization to scale up protein production and PEGylation of HiPEG IFN α-2a.
A lead candidate from the TheraPEG IFN β-1b program is due to be selected at the end of 2010. The company also has a research program in which recombinant unglycosylated erythropoietin produced in E. coli is PEGylated.

Countries work out details on long-awaited deal
Russian competition film "Innocent Saturday" — the country's first feature about the Chernobyl nuclear reactor disaster — found its German co-producer, Bavaria Pictures, thanks to a Moscow Film Festival business event.
The film, the second feature directed by veteran Russian screenwriter Alexander Mindadze, was one of a number of projects selected for the inaugural edition of co-production forum Moscow Business Square.
Leipzig-based producer Simone Baumann, a fluent Russian speaker with more than 20 years' experience working with Russia, was involved in the forum and knew Bavaria was looking for a Chernobyl project.
She put the filmmakers in touch with Bavaria, which came in as a co-producer, adding European coin to backing from Russian and Ukrainian producers who include Alexander Rodnyansky and Oleg Kohan.
Philipp Kreuzer, deputy managing director for Bavaria Pictures, said Matthius Esche, head of mother company Bavaria Film, had been developing a Chernobyl project but was not entirely satisfied with its direction.
Baumann, well known in Germany for her Russian connections, was a natural choice to turn to for contacts in the region, and she was able to introduce Esche to Mindadze.
"Simone acted as a bridge into Russia for us, and after the meeting with Mindadze, we decided not to pursue our own project but to become involved in the Russian-Ukrainian one," Kreuzer said.
Bavaria supplied all the camera equipment and organized the CGI, which was used to re-create sequences where the nuclear reactor goes into meltdown.
"It was a true co-production with a lot of creative involvement. We are very happy with the result — a real 'auteur' film with a subtle message that we believe will appeal to audiences," Kreuzer added.
Said Baumann: "The project was already quite well developed and the quality of the script convinced Esche to go with it. The fact it is now in competition here shows the value of networking."
Anna Katchko, a co-founder of the Moscow event with Olga Kolegaeva and Konstantin Nafikov of RFilms, said the role the event played was key.
"The way in which this project came together — and the fact that is now in competition in Berlin — demonstrates the importance of such events," Katchko said.
The number of co-productions made in Russia is growing, she added, with some 20 in the pipeline this year.

Basic Supervision in Public Works Training Package
APWA (c)2001, ISBN 0-917084-90-X and 0-917084-91-8
New public works supervisors soon find that not only must they have technical skill and competency in the public works functions and operations they are in charge of, but now they must plan and schedule the work of others, deal with performance issues, give directions and feedback to employees, submit reports on work progress to agency management, and make decisions that lead to successful project completion. This may seem daunting at first, but being a supervisor can be a very rewarding experience and APWA's new Basic Supervision training materials can help both the first-timers and the old hands appreciate, enjoy and excel in the role of a public works supervisor.
The Basic Supervision in Public Works Training Package can be purchased and used in a variety of ways. The total training package consists of: (1) the Basic Supervision in Public Works Facilitator's Guide; (2) PowerPoint slides for all eight modules of the course; and (3) the Basic Supervision in Public Works Student Manual. The Facilitator's Guide offers instructional tips and ideas for presenting a useful and effective training session. The course's eight modules include: The Nature of Supervision; The Qualities of Leadership; Why Supervisors Must Be Good Communicators; Organizing and Planning; The Importance of Effective Delegation; The Nature of Change; Challenges in the Workplace; and Developing Effective Employees and Work Teams.
Organizations and instructors who purchase the total training package, may then purchase as many Student Manuals as needed for their training session at a significantly discounted price. Since the training materials are segmented into eight modules, the training sessions may be tailored to suit the specific needs of your organization or target audience. For example, a public works agency may wish to present the modules one by one in weekly staff meetings; or an APWA Chapter or other organization may decide to offer the course in either a full two-day timeframe or as a series of half-day sessions. The options are endless and the choice is yours!
We've not forgotten about those supervisors who can't get away from the job to attend training or who live in areas where no course is being offered. The Basic Supervision in Public Works Student Manual may be purchased separately and used as a self-study course or as a handy reference guide for how to deal with the various roles and challenges a supervisor must face. It is jam-packed with case studies and examples from real life public works situations and offers practical advice and solutions to help both the newly hired or promoted first-line supervisors and the more experienced among us who are looking for new approaches for being more effective team leaders, change agents, and coaches.
The total Basic Supervision in Public Works Training Package and/or the Student Manual/Self-Study Guide may purchased from APWA. To order, go on-line to www.apwa.net or call (816) 472-6100.

Hmm not exactly sewing but pants that are to short get made into "play" shorts... Actually if you hemmed it it would be wearable outside the house
Yeah I add the ruffle or cuff to my son's old pants for my DD.
Also his old button down shirts I am planning to cut and add a skirt to the bottom and turn into dresses.
You can also make hats, flowers, head bands...Can't hink of any more right now.
I made a dress for my dd and her doll out of a maternity top that totally shrunk. She loves it!
I will probably make some more doll clothes out of some more stuff. Much cheaper than the doll clothes in the toy store!
Life is a gift
I am no where near ready to tackle this project yet, but I love the lay out of this quilt. The hearts are made out of her old baby clothes! I would love to do something like this some day and have even set aside a box in the craft closet (aka, closet of doom) and toss in clothes that my kids have outgrown in hopes of actually doing this one day. We'll see... LOL!

flew to Barbados and cruised back to the Med for 3 weeks on Thomson Dream with my wife, sister and her husband. They found the deal and are experienced cruisers but this was our first and not as good as we had hoped or expected. The ship is huge and the staff try very hard to look after you - extremely well since tips are not expected! But the food was disappointing - being the same in Orion, Lido and Sirens albeit the service is much more personal in Orion and you pay extra for the other options. And the standards are inconsistent too - no tie at the captains dinner then no entry but come to the second sitting (when chances are he has gone) and you can wear shorts it appears! And it isn't just the Germans with a problem with towels and sunbeds.
The entertainment team also try their best and some acts are very good but others are just awful.
Lots of other guests were quite happy so it's probably just not for us but don't expect any complaints to be heard - we thought the house white wine particularly poor and the exchange rates on board astronomically punitive but got no reply so beware.
Also cannot recommend the drinks package as other reviews have also said - forget the "from £10/day"in the brochure - the actual cost was nearer to £30/day and certainly not worth it.
Cabins on deck 6 are best value (around the centre)

In the December 2009 issue, Gibbons et al1 presented an analysis of medical claims data comparing rates of suicide attempts in patients with bipolar disorder according to whether they had been prescribed antiepileptic drugs (AEDs). This analysis was stimulated by the Food and Drug Administration meta-analysis of placebo-controlled clinical trials of AEDs in seizure disorders and other conditions that showed increased rates of suicidal behavior or ideation in AED-treated subjects. The study's use of nonrandomized data to evaluate its hypotheses is problematic. Because suicide attempts are both a potential adverse effect of AED treatment and a manifestation of bipolar disorder, confounding is a major difficulty in any assessment of this issue that does not use randomized, controlled data. We are concerned about several significant limitations that may undermine the study's conclusions.

Hello friends ...
Here I am again to deliver today's sightings from your favorite reserve !!
Beginning on Wath Ings ..
Reported from here were 3 shelducks and a sparrowhawk ..
There were 3 lesser redpolls seen over by the Bittern Hide and goldcrests were seen again on Green Lane ..
Over on the Mere were goosanders (no numbers today), 5 pochards and 10 grey partridges ..
There was a kingfisher seen over by the Wildlife Ponds and 2 lesser black-backed gulls were seen passing over ..
The Bird Garden was busy as usual with plenty of opportunities for budding photographers .. Seen here were a great spotted woodpecker, willow tits, long-tailed tits, bullfinches, chaffinches, great tits and blue tits ...
They have bean bags in there you know .. I went in for a lie down the other day but was quite disappointed when I saw how tiny they were !!!
Another sighting was a kingfisher which was reported from Wombwell Ings .. Nice to hear that the water level on there is getting better too ...
I'm sure there was something else ..... Now what was it ?
Ah yes ... The bittern flew into the reedbeds at 11am today ... ;-)
Well ... Our mate the bittern is thrilling on a daily basis now ... Long may it continue of course !!!!
So there you have it chaps .. All done for today ..
Apart from ....
Did You Know ?
Long-tailed tits..
The nest of the long-tailed tit is constructed from four materials - lichen, feathers, spider egg cocoons and moss, over 6000 pieces in all for a typical nest. The nest is a flexible sac with a small, round entrance on top, suspended either low in a gorse or bramble bush or high up in the forks of tree branches. The structural stability of the nest is provided by a mesh of moss and spider silk. The tiny leaves of the moss act as hooks and the spider silk of egg cocoons provides the loops; thus forming a natural form of velcro. The tit lines the outside with hundreds of flakes of pale lichens - this provides camouflage. Inside, it lines the nest with more than 2000 downy feathers to insulate the nest ..
Outside the breeding season they form compact flocks of 3 to 30 birds, composed of family parties (parents and offspring) from the previous breeding season, together with any extra adults that helped to raise a brood. These flocks will occupy and defend territories against neighbouring flocks. The driving force behind the flocking behaviour is thought to be that of winter roosting, being so tiny they are susceptible to cold and so huddling increases survival through cold nights.In February–March, all members of the winter flock will pair and attempt to nest, with the males remaining within the winter territory and the females having a tendency to wander to neighbouring territories. The long-tailed tit's nests suffer a high rate of predation with only 17% success.Pairs whose nests fail have three choices: try again, abandon nesting for the season or help at a neighbouring nest. It has been shown that failed pairs split and help at the nests of male relatives, recognition being established vocally. The helped nests have greater success due to higher provisioning rates and better nest defence. At the end of the breeding season, in June–July, the birds reform the winter flocks in their winter territory.
Clever stuff eh ??
Night friends !
Bert xx
Evening viewers !
Plenty to tell today ...
So here we go .. Straight into the Mere !!
Sploooooooooooshhhhh !!!! ;-)
Seen there were stock doves, linnets, jackdaws, 10 grey partridges, a green woodpecker and a goldeneye .. Thank goodness there was something on the water !!
A sparrowhawk was seen near to the Visitor Centre and a weasel was spotted on the first bridge leading to the Wildlife Ponds ..
Wath Ings had 5 dunlins, c2000 golden plovers, c300 lapwings and a flock of 45 linnets, one of which was leucistic ...
Great spotted woodpeckers (male and female) were seen in the Bird Garden along with bullfinches and a couple of pheasants ..
Bullfinches were also seen on the car park feeders and there were 2 yellowhammers and a female reed bunting over by the Tree Sparrow Farm ..
Goldcrests were seen along Green Lane and the Bittern Hide had a water rail, another yellowhammer and .... the bittern !!
It was seen in the same area at about 11:00am ...
This is becoming quite regular now so if you have never seen a bittern, you could do far worse than taking a trip out here and speaking to the guys in the Visitor Centre to get some directions ..
A nice report to finish on was a little owl which was seen on Broomhill Flash ... Always happy to see these 'wee' guys .....
So .. There you go ... All done ...
And now it's time for Educational Corner ...
Leucism ..
Leucism, or leukism, is an abnormal plumage condition caused by a genetic mutation that prevents pigment, particularly melanin, from being properly deposited on a bird's feathers. As a result, the birds do not have the normal, classic plumage colors listed in field guides, and instead the plumage have several color changes, including:White patches where the bird should not have any Paler overall plumage that looks faint, diluted or bleached Overall white plumage with little or no color discernable
Leucism is not to be confused with Albinism though ....
Albinism is a different condition. The easiest way to tell the difference between the two is that in albinism, the eyes are usually pink or red, and albinism affects the entire bird ..
Just to keep it even more interesting there are also melonistic birds !!
Melanism, or melanosis, is a condition caused by a genetic mutation that gives a bird excess amounts of melanin in its feathers. This makes the feathers much darker than normal plumage, and many melanistic birds appear completely brown or black.
If it isn't bad enough trying to learn the various plumage variations !!!
Night friends !!

Evenin all ...
Here we are, most of the way through another Monday ...
Good stuff to report again from Old Moor although we were lacking a report of the Cetti's today !
The Mere had a female goldeneye, shelducks, mallards, gadwalls, teals, shovelers, great-crested grebes, wigeons, pochards and 4 common gulls ..
There was a yellowhammer, a willow tit a and redwings seen on the Tree Sparrow farm ..
Wath Ings had a dunlin and a shelduck and there there was a peregrine falcon and 10 grey partridges seen near to the entrance to the car park ..
Willow tits, long-tailed tits, bullfinches and a great spotted woodpecker were all present in the Bird Garden and a weasel was seen outside the back door of the visitor Centre ..
A final report was of our friend the bittern .. It was again seen in the reedbeds to the left hand side of the viewing screen (but just a bit further along the path) as yesterday at around 2:45 ..
Nice !!!!!
OK .. Keeping with tradition ..
Did You Know ??
Bitterns are a classification of birds in the heron family, they frequent reedbeds and similar marshy areas, and feed on amphibians, reptiles, insects, and fish. The males make a remarkable far-carrying, booming sound in spring. Not unlike someone blowing across the neck of an empty milk bottle ! This sound can be heard up to 3 kilometers away ..
These males are known as 'Boomers' funnily enough ! ;-)
In particularly bad winter's small numbers of bitterns will fly to Britain from northern Europe .. The RSPB said that in 2009, 82 male birds were recorded across the country, but that it believes that in 2010, the influx from northern Europe, due to the freezing conditions on the Continent , the number could have been three times as many !
Its dependence on reedbeds and very small population make it a Red List species - one of the most threatened in the UK. Owing to habitat loss and persecution by collectors and hunters, the bittern became extinct as a breeding bird in the UK in 1886. Early last century, the bittern returned and its numbers steadily increased to a peak of about 80 booming males in the 1950s. But then, further habitat loss, as the reed beds became dry and unsuitable, led to a second population crash. In 1997, just 11 booming males survived at seven sites around the country.
On a brighter note, Conservationists said the results of the latest survey of ''booming'' males, which experts are able to count from their loud, distinctive boom-like call, revealed there were 104 birds across England, up from 11 just 15 years ago. The majority of the booming males (85%) in England were heard on nature reserves. This obviously underlines the importance of such places ..
When frightened, the bittern stands perfectly still pointing its neck and bill skywards, to look just like a reed stalk. It's never an easy bird to see due to it's excellent camouflage and once it freezes it can just seem to disappear completely ..
Yes folks, these guys have had it tough .. Lots of hard work has gone on (and still is going on) in order to try and help the bittern to enjoy continuing success ..
Remember what you have learned today friends and the next time you see a bittern you will be excused for having a lump in your throat ....
Have a great evening everyone !!
