Baby Changing Table Woodworking Plans

Connichi 2009

Hi guys,

it took some time to finish this report, but now we're back on track! A lot of things happened in the mean-time: We got over and done with an amazingly huge part of our shootings. Now we're looking back on a very busy and successful year. Part of it was our partitipation at the convention "Connichi" in Kassel, Germany, this September, where Dark Moon Entertainment had a booth of its own for the third time in a row.

Due to a short (but positive) relocation at the convention, our team had to improvise a littel. But with the amazing support of the Connichi staff, we had an alternative booth built up in no time.

Friday and sunday turned out to be a little calmer than the years bevor. Thus, we had the chance to unhurriedly tell those who were interested in the project something about the plot and our progress.

On saturday on the other hand, we started selling the tickets for our tombola at 10 am. There were 100 prizes to win, again! But even the consolation gifts happened to enjoy the participants. All tickets were sold out after a record time of 4 hours!

The feedback was enormous and we managed to get some useful donations for the movie including our first executive producer , Fanny Schulze, who donated the amazing sum of 250 Euros!

We would also like to take the chance and thank each and everyone of our helpers at the convention and the visitors of our stand. You have given a ehll lot of motivation to all the team and the project with your enthusiasm. We really appreciate that! And if everything turns out nice, we'd be happy to present the finished movie to you at next year's Connichi hopefully .

Last, but not least: Here some impressions from the convention sponsered by our special effects-guy, Matti. ;)



And here are some further news on Dark Moon: First, we are now on Twitter and Facebook and we'd like you to join us! Furthermore we're re-designing our official website . There we will present you anything on the movie with a new layout as soon as possible! We hope you stay tuned!

Best regards, Claudia
(in the name of the entire Dark Moon team)

Meeting For Jelly Bands

Stalin WINS

Stalin's there. 56 years after his death, he is still Russia's top newsmaker. In the minds of the people and in the soul of the land he lives on. And wins. In August
could experience the RIA-Novosti reader a fierce debate about the Hitler-Stalin pact. On the Web our agency ended this more or less a draw, more even with a narrow victory of Stalin: In any case, the panelists, who claimed that Stalin's pact with Hitler was a stopgap measure that has his country in the eve of the Second World War, more pros do outweigh the disadvantages , not in the minority.

Last month saw Stalin again hit the headlines: One of his grandsons had filed a lawsuit against the Moscow newspaper "Novaya Gazeta" the court because the paper had described his grandfather as "executioners". The grandson of the newspaper was a denial and any remuneration which he estimated with a six-figure euro sum.

few days prior to the court I asked the "Novaya Gazeta" author Yevgeny Bunimowitsch: The judge will get, given the political and ideological implications of the dispute a call from the Kremlin - with the statement, which stated that it has to make? "Absolutely," he said. "The more exciting is what it will be for a statement."
The grandson action was not finally approved. The Stalinists conceded that although a goal, they felt discouraged by the fact no case, however.

For the same time Stalin's name appeared in the newly renovated Moscow Metro station Kurskaya: One of the walls decorated with the words from the former Soviet anthem: ! Inspired Stalin us to work and exploits "Moscow's chief architect Andrei Kuzmin said:" I am not a Stalinist, if you want to restore but the station right here, so too must the Stalin statue that stood there originally. "

I remember the now classic as applicable Soviet film "The Belarusian railway station. It's about four war veterans who see themselves 25 years after the victory again - at the funeral of another comrade. In one scene, the director used a snippet of the film chronicle of 1945: A train with Soviet soldiers returning arrives in Belarus railway station in Moscow. The front of the locomotive is a large, fixed with flowers decorated Stalin's image. When I saw the film in 1970 in a cinema hall erupted in spontaneous in this few-second section of applause.
film director Andrei Smirnov, a staunch anti-Stalinist, as we know it now, has not certainly expected such an effect. Apparently he was just merely "restoring" a significant piece of that era.

Then, a few years after the end of the anti-Stalinist-Khrushchev era, Stalin was still something of a taboo figure. In the post-Soviet period, but he is no longer a taboo figure more: He is seen regularly in plays and television series. As a cartoon villain, but also as a hero and father of the nation.

Since early November, at least we know that Russia's President Dmitry Medvedev is an anti-Stalinist. In any case, his text leaves the memorial for the victims of political repression ( http://www.de.rian.ru/russia/20091030/123772624.html )
hardly doubt it. In so many Russian media comments but this text was already with Nikita Khrushchev's speech at the 20th CPSU Party Congress almost equated with the 1956, the radical de-Stalinization of Soviet Russia was launched - just because today's Russia is certainly ripe for a remake.

because Stalin himself appears to have the massive investigative and debunking campaign of the Gorbachev and Yeltsin-era survived quite loose. A few days before Medvedev's anti-Stalinist appeal I asked Khrushchev's namesake, Nikita Borovikov, head of the Kremlin-loyal youth movement Nashi (Ours), what he thought of Stalin personally. The response of the 29-year-old Jus-docs was: "I can make no ruling on it. Stalin is a very complex figure, and we still do not know the whole truth about him "

Stalin is alive -. And provides new scandals. For a few days, he is now at the center of a scandal that has suffered in the reputation of the agency RIA Novosti as admit editor in chief Svetlana Mironjuk had. ( http://www.de.rian.ru/analysis/20091102/123813709.html ).
In its text is also a woman Mironjuk including the phenomenon of longevity of the Stalin myth.

What must be done now, so that Stalin is not more 21 in Russia
Century interfere? What could and should be done about it?

Current Keywords: modernization. Medvedev and Putin are now taking this word more often in the mouth. Russia's modernization will probably be the main theme of Medvedev's upcoming annual address to the nation.
My opinion: As long as Russia is not the gang-chains of Stalinsmus dropped has in this country can be no modernization. Not even the Chinese version.
you soon.
