We strongly recommend the newest CAHA in substitution to PMMA.
PMMA is indicated for the correction of nasolabial folds and moderate to severe, atrophic, distensible facial acne scars on the cheek in patients over the age of 21 years.Patients who have had a positive reaction to the Skin Test, have a history of severe allergies, have known bovine collagen allergies, are allergic to lidocaine, have bleeding disorders or are prone to thick scar formation and/or excessive scarring should not receive PMMA.
The safety of PMMA for use during pregnancy, breastfeeding, or in patients under 21 has not been established. You may experience temporary swelling, redness, pain, bruising, lumps/bumps, itching, and discoloration at the treatment site. These side effects are usually transient and typically resolve within 1–7 days. You may experience lumps/bumps/papules that may occur more than one month after injection and that may persist. Less common side effects include rash and itching more than 48 hours after treatment, persistent swelling or redness, lumps/bumps, acne, and increased sensitivity at treatment sites.
Infrequently, granulomas may occur and may be treated by your licensed physician provider. Be sure to call your licensed provider immediately if you notice any unusual skin reactions around the treatment area. Based on the 5-year Post Approval Study on nasolabial folds with 1,008 patients, the long-term safety of PMMA for up to 5-years has been established.

Very good product but the initial swelling is more than expected - after about a week then it's fine - not sure why it causes such a lot of swelling though? (Posted on 4/6/2016)

Perhaps you are planning a holiday open house for later this month. Or maybe you got suckered onto the committee charged with planning the end-of-year office party. In either case, you'll need a bunch of bubbly, and you'll face a dilemma when making your selection.
If you play it safe on quality and buy true Champagne, you'll likely bust your budget, popping bottles that cost more than $30 each. Moreover, you'll have done so while committing vinous overkill. It makes sense to serve good wine at parties, but it doesn't make sense to serve great wine.
My point here isn't the snotty old warning against casting pearls before swine. Rather, the point is that people just don't pay close attention to wine at parties, and the better the party, the more this point holds true. If cost is an issue, you should think about going with sparkling wine rather than Champagne for larger gatherings.
However, when you go with sparkling wine, you'd better not go too cheap. My reasoning here can be indicated with a single word: weddings.
Ever make the mistake of actually drinking the stuff typically poured for toasts at big weddings? I've heard stories from plenty of people who did, and many of them required years of therapy before they could once again face up to a bubbling glass of anything. In comparison with other lousy wines, really cheap sparkling wine is incomparably foul and uniquely debilitating.
So, when picking affordable bottles for parties, spend moderately and shop selectively. For party purposes, the sweet spot in the sparkling market is roughly between $9 and $12. Below that, almost all available bottlings are either tasteless or weird or sweet. Sweet may sound like the best of those three options, but beware: Dosing a sparkler with sugar is a standard trick for covering flaws, and nothing triggers a migraine quite like a sweet sparkler.
Many bottles are best avoided even in the $9 to $12 range, but my recent tastings turned up a dozen wines that are not only clean and competent but downright delicious. Recommended wines are reviewed in order of preference, with approximate prices and importers indicated in parentheses:
Rebuli (Valdobbiadene, Veneto, Italy) Prosecco ($12, Kysela): This wine is so much fun that it seems vaguely illegal. Lightly floral in aroma, it shows fresh but restrained fruit flavors. The effervescence is abundant but soft, yet the wine remains structured and refreshing thanks to crisp acidity. Clearly the top pop for parties.
Lucien Albrecht (Cremant d'Alsace) Blanc de Blancs Brut ($12, Pasternak/Winebow): Cremant d'Alsace is popular in France but doesn't seem to travel well and has never caught on in the United States. Bottles like this could change that, as this shows lovely aromas of nuts and fresh bread crust, with classy tart apple fruit notes and nice effervescence.
Yves Lambert (Loire Valley, France) Cremant de Loire ($12, J. Cambier): This is bright and wonderfully refreshing, with subtle flavors of crisp apples and autumn pears. Sweet sparklers can be flattering for a sip or two but then become tiring, whereas a zesty wine like this can be enjoyed for an entire evening.
Chateau Tour du Roy (Bordeaux, France) Cremant de Bordeaux 1998 ($12, Siema): I cannot recall ever tasting a Cremant de Bordeaux but look forward to tasting more of them after trying this one. Remarkably complete and complex for the money, it shows soft aromas with lots of little toasty nuances, followed by restrained fruit with excellent balance between faint sweetness and fresh acidity.
Jacobs Creek (Australia) Brut Cuvee ($10, Pernod Ricard): Made from Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, this is delightfully fruity (as we would expect from the Aussies) but neither pushy nor overtly sweet.
Marquis de Perlade (France) Blanc de Blancs Brut ($11, W.J. Deutsch): This is an impressively classy wine, with superb acidity that balances a light touch of sweetness and helps the subtle fruit flavors ride through the soft effervescence. Crisp and clean, it is an excellent aperitif wine.
Gruet (New Mexico) Brut ($12, Country Vintner): The Gruet sparklers from New Mexico are consistently good, and this current release is certainly up to form, with pale straw color, restrained fruit notes, and a clean, well-balanced profile.
Cristalino (Penedes, Spain) Cava Brut ($9, CIV): Cava from Spain ranges from austere to aggressively earthy, and this wine tilts strongly toward the austere end of the continuum. With faint notes of yeast and tart apples, the wine is fresh and lively.
Mont Marcal (Penedes, Spain) Brut Reserva ($12, Classical Wines): Here is the other side of cava, as my sample of Mont Marcal was toastier, earthier and more mature than any bottle of this wine that I've tasted during the past decade. Full of aroma and flavor, it is recommended for those with a taste for dramatics.
Charles de Fere (France) Blanc de Blancs Brut ($11, Boisset America): This admirably consistent product is looking particular good in its current release, with subtle aromas of toast and pears, along with soft mousse and fine balance between acidity and light sweetness.
Tenuta S. Anna (Veneto, Italy) Prosecco ($12, Siema): This is a classically fresh, juicy Prosecco featuring subtle aromas of flowers and ripe fruit, with refreshing acidity that is well integrated with the flavors and effervescence.
Marquis de la Tour (France) Brut ($8, Palm Bay): Remarkably clean and balanced for the money, this is flawlessly made, with soft pear fruit, a light touch of sweetness and pleasantly soft mousse.
Michael Franz will offer additional recommendations and answer questions live today at noon on washingtonpost.com.

Reloading grids in Pre
Hi All,
In Build 5.5.1, I frequently created grids, consisting of a hex and a tet/prism part. As consecutive cases were very similar, I found the following working order the most effective:1) copy the .db-file (with the combined grids) from case 1 to a new directory for case 2.
2) rename the directory from case 1.
3) open the .db-file (with the combined grids) for case 2.
Obviously Build gave an error as the grids were not found anymore. However, Build gave the opportunity to browse to the new .geo- and .def-file.
After that I only had to write out the definition file of the new combined grid and off I went.
In Pre, it doesn't seem to work that way. You can delete a grid (assembly) and reload a new one but all boundaries of the old grid stay right there and the new ones get an index '1'. Am I missing something?? How can this be done in Pre in the most effective way.
Re: Reloading grids in Pre
Hi Pascale,
You can continue doing this as you have been, but when you delete the assembly, also delete the corresponding composite 2D regions in the region editor. When you import your new grid, the regions will be re-created.
Alternatively, you can export your CCL from Pre and re-use it. Create a new model, import your new grid and then import your CCL. If the same naming conventions are followed, your boundary conditions will be re-applied. This is probably the best way to do what you are asking and is easily scriptable. The following commands will create a new CFX case file, load your grid(s), and load your CCL:
>load filename=D:/Demo/Axial_demo/Stator/Stator_from_ccl.cfx, mode=new
> update
>gtmImport filename=..., type=..., genOpt= -n, \
units=m, nameStrategy=Assembly
> update
>importccl filename=D:/Demo/Axial_demo/Stator/Stator.ccl, mode = append
> update
If you are continually setting up similar problems, select only the /FLOW:FLOW section of the CCL for export (this will export the entire flow section, so you don't have to select each item in the displayed list) and save it to the $CFX_ROOT/etc/5.6/Templates directory for convenience. If you have entered custom materials/reaction/CEL etc you should also export the appropriate CCL section.
This will create your own model library. When you create a new case, simply name it and select the Model Library option. If you follow a standard naming convention for your model, all you have to do is import your grid(s) and you are ready to go.
Best regards,

Man loses appeal against dangerous driving sentence
A man jailed for dangerous driving after the death of a motorcyclist on Queensland's Sunshine Coast lost an appeal against his sentence yesterday.
Matthew Liam Allen was sentenced to 18 months in jail after he was found guilty of dangerous driving in 2009.
The father of two had been travelling on Nicklin Way at Buddina with his partner and baby when he drove into the path of motorcyclist Matthew Caltabiano, killing him.
He was also disqualified from driving for two-and-a-half-years.
Allen has a parole release date set for January next year.
He appealed against his prison term, arguing his dangerous driving was a rare case that did not deserve time in custody.
But Queensland's Court of Appeal said his sentence was a reminder to all drivers of their responsibilities and dismissed the appeal.

This article was published 7/9/2013 (1439 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
WASHINGTON -- The Pentagon is preparing for a longer bombardment of Syria than it originally planned, with a heavy barrage of missile strikes followed soon after by more attacks against targets the opening salvos missed or failed to destroy, officials said.
The planning for intense attacks over a three-day period reflects the growing belief in the White House and the Pentagon that the U.S. needs more firepower to inflict even minimal damage on Syrian President Bashar Assad's forces, which have been widely dispersed over the last two weeks, the officials said.
Two U.S. officers said the White House asked for an expanded target list in recent days to include many more than the 50 or so targets on the initial list. As a result, Pentagon planners are weighing whether to use air force bombers in addition to five warships now on patrol in the eastern Mediterranean Sea to launch cruise missiles and air-to-surface missiles from hundreds of kilometres offshore, well out of range of Syrian air defences.
Syria is also within range of an aircraft carrier strike group in the Red Sea, which includes one cruiser and three destroyers, all capable of firing cruise missiles.
"There will be several volleys and an assessment after each volley, but all within 72 hours and a clear indication when we are done," said one officer familiar with the planning.
The officers requested anonymity because they were not authorized to publicly discuss the campaign.
The stepped-up military planning comes as U.S. President Barack Obama and his aides prepared to press their own offensive to seek public support as well as congressional votes for authorization to use military force to punish Assad's government for allegedly using chemical weapons against civilians last month.
Obama plans to blanket the nation's airwaves in coming days to make his case to a skeptical public. Aides say he will tape interviews on Monday with the anchors of CBS, NBC and ABC, the three major broadcast networks, as well as with PBS, CNN and Fox News. He also will address the nation from the Oval Office on Tuesday, the night before the full Senate is expected to vote.
Obama, who has declined to say if he would order an attack if Congress votes against it, gave a preview of his argument in his weekly radio address Saturday.
"Failing to respond to this outrageous attack would increase the risk that chemical weapons could be used again, that they would fall into the hands of terrorists who might use them against us, and it would send a horrible signal to other nations that there would be no consequences for their use of these weapons," he said.
The administration ran into a new diplomatic roadblock Saturday at the European Union.
Foreign ministers from the EU's 28 member nations, meeting in Vilnius, Lithuania, said "the international community cannot remain idle" after reports that poison gas was used Aug. 21 against neighbourhoods near Damascus held by rebels trying to topple Assad.
But despite the presence of U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry, the EU declined to back a military strike without approval of such intervention by the United Nations. American officials say they see almost no chance of winning a resolution for use of force in the UN Security Council because Russia, a permanent member with veto power, is Assad's strongest international backer.
The EU ministers noted UN chemical-weapons inspectors were expected to report on their findings in Syria. They also welcomed a decision by French President Franßois Hollande, a vocal advocate of a military strike, to wait for the inspectors' report before taking further action.
Obama still favours a limited attack that would not involve sending large numbers of warplanes over Syria to drop bombs, officials said. But some military officers are doubtful that even a longer air campaign, using cruise missiles fired from offshore, will hurt Assad enough to degrade his forces and deter future use of chemical weapons.
The planned U.S. attack "will not strategically impact the current situation in the war, which the Syrians have well in hand, though fighting could go on for another two years," said another U.S. officer familiar with the latest intelligence estimates.
The Obama administration hopes that by denying Assad the option of resorting to chemical weapons and by providing some additional weapons and training to rebel fighters, it will boost the now-remote chances of negotiations that might lead to Assad's exit.
The administration has struggled in the last week with the competing demands of hitting Syria hard enough to undermine Assad's resolve but not hard enough to undermine support by members of Congress who are leery of being drawn into another Middle East war.
Facing such cross-currents, administration officials and top Pentagon officers have veered between describing the planned attack as a limited operation that will not significantly tilt the balance of power in Syria and a punishing attack that will degrade the Syrian military's equipment and forces capable of delivering chemical weapons and deter Assad from using them.

This is one of the best episodes of Charmed ever! It is definitely one of my favourites!
I found this episode really funny, especially Piper and Prue! Natalie was really annoying in a funny way.
Anyway, Leo's whitelighter friend Natalie comes to see the Charmed Ones after her charge is killed by a demon, Eames. Natalie is bossy and drives Prue, Piper and Phoebe crazy. The Elders believe that Leo is letting his emotions get in the way of his judgement so they ask Natalie what she thinks. Piper is really jealous of Natalie because of all the time her and Leo spend together and spends most of the episode pissed off at Leo. In the end, Natalie dies by Eames (the demon) and Piper and Leo's engagement becomes official when the Elders take them off "probation".

Recent Major Industry CGMP Failures - Lessons Learned
Product ID: 701897
Training Level: Intermediate to Advanced
- Duration: 105 Min
Customer Care
Fax: +1-650-565-8542
Email: firstname.lastname@example.com
This cGMP webinar for medical device companies will focus on recent manufacturing lapses that have resulted in major recalls, multi-million dollar fines and some criminal charges. It will analyze why they happened and show how to prevent it.
Why Should You Attend:
The last year has seen several major "names" in drugs and devices stumble over cGMP issues, resulting in recalls, lawsuits, and even possible criminal prosecution. Other recent drug recalls are resulting in several class action lawsuits. A growing push by the Agency to get tougher and strengthen enforcement is one result. Bad publicity affecting once stellar names in the regulated industry is another. Public outcry for a more proactive FDA is yet another. Current FDA oversight methods are claimed to not be providing the product safety or efficacy seemingly promised. What has led to this situation? What can companies do proactively to address these concerns and better ensure better regulatory compliance?
Such high-profile field problems indicate that issues such as senior management involvement, product risk management, validation and change control and similar requirements are somehow being short-circuited. Attend this webinar to learn what can companies do in addressing these issues? Why is "entropy" a major player? How can a company "put an auditor's mind at ease" before, during and after a CGMP compliance audit? .
U. S. FDA-regulated companies are responsible for understanding current Good Manufacturing Practices as defined in the Code of Federal Regulations ( 21 CFR Part 111, 210/211, and 820). They are then required to translate those regulations into procedures and work instructions. Many companies who have successfully done that in the past are now failing audits, facing major recall, and multi-million dollar fines. What failures in the GMPs have led to this? What assumptions have proven to be invalid? What are the key areas of non-compliance? What can be done in a company to look for, validate or correct to prevent it from being the next news headline or "60 Minutes" feature? What new concerns need to be addressed now? How can companies make such determinations? What approaches are now mandated? How does ICH Q9 or ISO 14971 Risk Management fit into the process? How to maximize any remedial action process against scarce resources? .
This 90-minute webinar will answer all the above.
Areas Covered in the Seminar:
- The "tougher" U. S. FDA.
- Recent news headlines - prominent / respected company failures.
- What's behind the headlines.
- The "Heavy Hitters" problem areas.
- Reviewing a company's compliance to these findings.
- Correcting problem-prone areas.
- Entropy - a major "player".
Who Will Benefit:
- Senior management
- Regulatory affairs
- Quality Assurance
- Production
- Engineering & R&D
- All personnel involved in a U.S. FDA-regulated environment especially those involved in new product development, line extensions, and incremental product improvements, having to evaluate those changes to existing FDA-cleared 510(K)'s, and then document their decisions in harmony with regulations.
John E. Lincoln, is Principal of J. E. Lincoln and Associates, a consulting company with over 29 years experience in U.S. FDA-regulated industries.

But the party, along with others in South Sudan, is still appealing to the region's electorate to back in regional elections.

The new open-world survival game Rust, from Garry's Mod developer Garry Newman, is well on its way to breakout success, Newman said in a recent Games Industry interview.
In one month, according to Newman's math, Facepunch Studios' new title has already sold 40 percent of what Garry's Mod did in nine years. Newman said that, although the developer has several projects underway, Rust is by far the most surprising.
"We never, ever expected anything to dwarf GMod's success," Newman said. "We can't really believe it."
Facepunch Studios, which is the result of Garry's Mod's widespread popularity, now has 15 employees, the founder said. And, for all of the game's recent sales, Newman still can't believe Rust's popularity.
"I suppose when someone's kind to you in the game it stands out a lot more than when someone tries to kill you, because it doesn't happen as often," Newman said. "It's a lot harder to be kind to people than to just kill them and take all their stuff. You can get a lot of satisfaction from giving someone trust and not having it thrown back in your face."
IGN has spent extensive time with Rust, and came away with a plethora of "unforgettable" experiences.

My new Mosin Nagant was new in 1900
I had been reading up on the mosin nagant 91/30s and went looking for something from just before World War II, say about 1939. I was looking forward to digging around and picking one out at the big gun show in our area. What I did not expect to do was look around and find three m1891s. I am more of a long rifle guy, and they stole the show for me. As I looked them over, the one that demanded my attention was from 1900. She was in good shape for being 112 years old. I looked her over for a bit before the salesman came over. I found out fast that I may have read up a bit on the rifles, and knew a small bit, but I was way out of my league trying to make my first milsurp buy. I had no idea what a forced match was, or what any of the stamps meant or would add (or subtract) to the value. In the end, I knew that I would have to take her home and make her mine.
It has been two days since I got her home, but I still have not stripper her down very far. I have pulled out the cleaning rod and taken the bolt out and taken the bolt apart some of the way. That has been enough to see that I will have finish cleaning the cosmoline off and out.
I got her with the idea of shooting her, but have a few questions still. As she is over 100 years old, but spent much time in long term storage, should I worry about running just any ammo in her, or should I look for something loaded a little light? I know that I should run a set of go no-go gauges in before I send round down range, and lots of cleaning before anything else, but is that it? I know I need to break it down to every little piece to clean, but that seems so wrong with something that has so much history.
I will try to get some pics up soon. As it turns out, my wife cant find the charger for her good camera, and I am having a hard time getting some good pics with my 9 year old camera.
Any gun that old will have metallurgy inferior to newer guns. Even the '03 US Army rifles with low serial numbers are considered questionable for safe shooting. I suspect that the Russian guns are no different. A light load would be a good idea.
I have a 91/30 and while I havnt shot it yet it still needs to be completely broken down for cleaning. I had mine cleaned and back together in two days. Personally I enjoyed the process. And while it is a historical rifle its by no means so valuable you shouldn't mess with it. Unless your mosin is special somehow I wouldn't worry about historical value. Now I have a question for y'all. I ran some dummy rounds through it and its a 50/50 chance that they'll chamber easily or sometimes I have to give the bolt handle a good smack downward to completely chamber the round. Is this normal?
The ornery bolt on a 91/30 is considered a feature and not a flaw. It is fairly normal.
Took my M1891 out today. I was shooting about 200 yards, without bayonet (do not have one yet). It shot ok, but from what I have read, it should be better when I put the bayonet on. I was only planning on 10 or 15 rounds, but in the end, I used all 30 rounds that I had with me. This rifle is way to much fun.
Congrats on your purchase. You bought an outstanding historical artifact. That one probably fought in the Russian revolution and both world wars. It is probably also a safe and reliable shooter.
In the years I have been around Mosins, I have only seen one failure of the metal; that in a cracked receiver. That one was all over the web a year or two ago. Who knows why that one broke; it may have been due to some creative reloading. These guns are tough as nails, and were over-built. I have some older than 1900, and have never been the least bit aprehensive about shooting one.
Have the headspace checked. Either buy the gauges or have a smith do it for you. If that is acceptable, the gun will be fine. Of course, when you take it down, it never hurts to go over the whole thing with a fine tooth comb. (or a lighted magnifier)
Good luck and good shooting!
Love my mosins. Think I have three that I have not fired yet-or cleaned. Rotator cuff has my shoulder sore so am afraid to bruise it more. Did fire an 8mm Mauser a couple weeks ago--and wished I had not. Nagants are hard to beat especially when you load your own rounds. It cuts down on the "fireball" and noise a bit. Makes a lot of difference. I like the light ball better but it still produces a lot of smoke/noise. Will be trying the drilling out of Berdan primers and inserting Boxers soon. Have a good bit of Berdan brass cases that hopefully will work.

Klassenkeile (English title: Spanking at School) is a German comedy movie from 1969, directed by Franz Josef Gottlieb, starring Uschi Glas.
The spanking scene
Katja Hutten (Uschi Glas, aged 25) is given a classroom spanking by the entire class. They bend her over a desk and hold her in position while the other students parade in a circle around her, giving her a spank every time they pass her bottom.
The title of the film, "Klassenkeile", is a German slang term for exactly that: a spanking or beating given to a student by their classmates. Klassenkeile punishment is typically given for offenses against the whole class, or for offenses that get the whole class into trouble.
Additional notes
Uschi Glas is also spanked (by Roy Black) in the 1971 film Wenn mein Schätzchen auf die Pauke haut (When My Darling Stands Up).

Girl that I like that has rejected me in the past I admit it was abit too soon but the other night she was snap chatting me drunk being really flirty and then she said that I'm a good friend and she really cares about me, I assumed that I was being friend zoned and replied that I see her as good friend to and I have feelings for her and that I won't try anymore of my funny business because I don't want to ruin the friendship. Now she isn't texting me anymore when she used too every day and seems different. Did I do something wrong?
Most Helpful Girl
Most Helpful Guy
Yes, you did everything wrong. For one the girl is not in her right mind, two at the beginning you are being friend zoned, and three she probably thinking differently about you and four she is a lying witch. Cause if she cared she'd mostly figure a way to reply back no matter if she's busy or not. Cause you can't be busy 24/7. Impossible.00|00|0

Giving back to Portland
The Portland Sculpture & Quarry Trust is successfully combining creativity, conservation and respect for the traditional skills of the Portland quarrymen. John Newth has been to find out more.
Published in June '09
|A general view of part of Tout Quarry
Go to West Bay and look at some of the older sea defences, and you are looking at boulders from Portland's Tout Quarry. Walk along the Strand in London to the Royal Courts of Justice and you will see more stone taken from Tout. The last stone was quarried there in 1982, and in the following year it was taken over by the Portland Sculpture & Quarry Trust as the first sculpture park in a quarry. At that time sculpture parks were a comparatively new concept, but Tout is still one of Dorset's more extraordinary artistic experiences and the Trust itself has developed and flourished.
The outstanding figure of the Trust's early history was Jonathan Phipps. Although brought up in Weymouth, he was an ardent Portlander by adoption, living at Fortuneswell. He had served as a pilot in the Fleet Air Arm and then became an art dealer for Waddington Gallery in Cork Street. He would hear and see the lorries taking stone off the island; he felt passionately that artists could give something back to Portland and that worked-out quarries should not just become rubbish dumps. He was also anxious that the unique skills, traditions and identity of the island should not disappear in a more mechanised and uniform age.
At the same time, the subject of landscape and environmental sculpture was growing within the teaching of art. One of its most enthusiastic promoters was Philip King, a professor of sculpture at the Royal College of Art, where he had started a new course in the subject. In 1983, the year of Beautiful Britain, many threads came together. In that first year, forty artists created work in Tout, whose stone had always been popular among sculptors, including Henry Moore and Barbara Hepworth, for its texture, colour, workability and quality of holding very fine detail.
From the start, an essential element in the Trust's raison d'être was to establish a relationship with the Portland quarrymen, some of whose families had worked in the industry for twelve generations. The artists valued these men's skills and understanding of working with stone in the landscape from which it comes. As well as deriving benefit, the artists were showing their respect for what Antony Gormley (whose 'Still Falling' is one of the sculpture park's best-known pieces) called the 'science, intuition and hard teamwork' of the men who worked with the stone.
Part of the understanding of the stone is that it had its origin 250 million years ago, when it was part of the sea-bed. Hardy called Portland 'an isle carved by time from a single stone', and time's carving is evident in the horizontal levels and vertical gullies which give Tout its character and through which its story may be read, a story that the old quarrymen understood so well.
This sense of almost unimaginable time, along with the combination of sea, sky and stone, makes it for an artist a very elemental pace to work. The balance of the elements is reflected in the Zen garden designed by Philip King for the centre of the quarry. For the visitor, there is the experience of discovering the landscape and coming across the sculptures at the same time. None of them is labelled but their apparently random distribution is an illusion: artists have to put projects and their locations before the equivalent of a 'hanging committee' for approval.
|'Window' by Justin Nichol
The Trust plays an important part in the life of the community, emphasising local ownership and pride and involving many volunteers as well as, on a practical level, contributing an estimated £160,000 a year to the local economy through visitors and students at its workshops. Regeneration through the arts, environment and industrial heritage of the island was recognised recently with an award from the British Urban Regeneration Association.
At the Drill Hall, which is a centre for stone and a gateway to the quarry park, the Trust holds an important educational record of Portland's quarry landscape. Open to visitors over the summer, it shows the arts, ecology, geology and working histories. Universities and art colleges have been involved from the start. In particular, Jane Francis of Leeds University has brought students down to examine the historical landscape in the minutest detail; fossilised dragonfly wings and tiny dinosaur footprints have been among their discoveries. Alongside, the Trust has also branched into other disciplines, encouraging writing, painting and photography connected with their work, for example, and providing spaces for the performing arts.
|A course in progress at the open-air workshop in Tout Quarry
Tout Quarry is also a site of special scientific interest and is the home of rare grasses, butterflies and orchids, so the Trust has always involved an ecologist in its work and has close links with the Dorset Wildlife Trust.
The Trust is run by a Board of Trustees and has two employees as well as part-time seasonal staff and volunteers. Workshops, commissions and education courses, using the Trust's creative and teaching skills, generate some of its funding, while grants and donations enable project development and special events. There is no charge for entry into the quarry and the Trust does not go out of its way to promote it to the general public; it is important, of course, that it is accessible to everyone, but it would lose part of its specialness if it was seen as a commercial tourist attraction.
One of the most important sources of revenue for the Trust is the LearningStone workshops that it runs in an outdoor workshops built into one of the side gullies of Tout Quarry. Anyone can go on one of the courses, which vary in length from one to four weeks. Beginners are helped to familiarise themselves with the quarry, the stone and what makes it so special, and are taught the finer skills of carving, sculpting and finishing the stone. You can take your finished piece home at the end of the course as long as your car has good springs – a block of Portland stone one foot by one foot by one foot weighs 140 pounds!
The educational element is to the fore in the Trust's next project: the development of the Drill Hall and Independent Quarry into an educational centre. The Crickmay-designed Drill Hall was built for the Volunteers and later became a dance hall. Albion Stone took it over as offices, then invited the Trust to establish there a learning resource about stone, which this summer will include an exhibition on geology, quarrying and stone carving skills. Albion Stone are also the leaseholders of Independent Quarry, next to the Drill Hall. The quarry is going to be re-landscaped specifically for educational purposes. It will become in effect a walk through time, with a series of 'geological rooms' as the visitor climbs up from the bottom of the quarry.
Independent Quarry will also include an amphitheatre space for multi-purpose use from lectures to drama and dance, a geological viewing tower and a site-specific sculpture by Peter Randall-Page. The wildlife will be allowed to regenerate naturally and there will be a series of shallow ponds which, it is hoped, will attract species like red-veined darters and scarce blue-tailed damselflies. This will be the first time that a Portland quarry has been specifically regenerated for public use and education.
If the Trust is largely about learning, it is also about searching for a wider elemental truth through creativity. Antony Gormley again: 'Working with stone is a fine job, working with stone in a quarry is a challenge, you have to consider the material as part of the place; part of the earth.' Now there are only six working quarries on Portland, where once there were over a hundred; it was said that the tapping of the mason's tools on stone was the heartbeat of the island. Standing where art, geology and quarrying history meet, the Portland Sculpture & Quarry Trust is playing a vital role in ensuring that in a radically changed world, that heartbeat can still be heard.

Tips For First Bridal Meeting/tasting
Business By SaraClassic Updated 12 Dec 2008 , 1:24am by SaraClassic
This is my fisr real "sit down" with a bride, I am so afraid I'll forget a good point or tip, or forget a pricing matrix or something that I may need to look at or fall back on. ( I am going to her because she is an hour 1/2 away, and close to my mom, so I am making it a day trip)
What do you say, pack, use in your consults that I may need?
Thank so much, you guys are the greatest!!!
I will recommend you to have a pricing matrix, your portfolio or something that shows some of your work, cake sketches and samples. Another thing that is very important is your confidence, if you have doubts about your self, the bride will notice that right away. You can role play with a friend or family member. Good Luck
I always bring a pricing sheet/serving sizes sheet, extra paper to sketch on, my contract (2 of them, I fill them out simultaneously and we both sign both on the spot if they decide to order I keep one and they keep one), depending on how much room you have if you know what shape cake they want ,bring some cake dummies (it helps them to envision their cake right on the spot), samples of course! I also bring along paper plates, forks, napkins, and a place mat, business cards with my number and website address.
Thank you so much for taking the time to reply ! Im sure I'll do fine I am just afraid of ruining that first impression I guess. I'll let you know Mon how it goes!
Other than samples, take your pricing sheet, serving sizes guide for different shaped cakes, order form, pictures (I have mine loaded on my Ipod, works great!), biz cards &/or brochures, sketch pad if your order form doesn't have an area for that. Contract terms, and a smile ! Um pretty much what the others have said...LOL! Good Luck!
Thanks, I pretty much think I got the basics then. I just wondered if there was a special "something " that I was over looking to take.
Thanks again!

Truskavets Vacation Packages
Western Ukraine is a popular tourism destination. To find out why rent a vehicle and explore the popular attractions in the vicinity of Truskavets. Slavske, lays 30 miles (48 kilometers) to the north, while Kalush is situated 40 miles (64 kilometers) to the west.
While you are staying in Truskavets, why don't you head to Lviv. Approximately 45 miles (72 kilometers) to the northeast, this regional city is where you can find Pharmacy Museum, Arena Lviv Stadium and Latin Cathedral. Lviv Polytechnic National University, Lviv Theatre of Opera and Ballet and St. George's Cathedral are just a handful of the many other attractions on offer here.
For a real insight into the heart and soul of Truskavets, be sure to head to the area's many monasteries.
If your idea of an excellent vacation is pushing yourself to the limit in wild places, then join one of the horse riding and mountain biking excursions Western Ukraine has to offer.
Making the effort to memorize some common phrases in Ukrainian is one of the most meaningful gestures you can pay to locals you'll encounter in Truskavets. Why not try "Chočeš zi mnoiu potanciuvaty?" The English translation is "Would you like to dance with me?" "Where are you from?" is also useful, so try getting your mouth around "Zvidky vy?"
All good things come to an end, but be rest assured, when it's time to leave Western Ukraine, you'll be leaving with special memories and keepsakes to enjoy.
