In To the Ones I Love, Thierry Smits places nine dancers of African descent on the stage. More precisely, for this choice is a vital one, he uses nine dancers whose complexions hark back to Africa. In short, they are dark – either black or of mixed race. These dancers have different nationalities but belong to the world, and the fact that they are scattered over several continents proves that the world belongs to them despite the discriminatory reflexes that are incarnated in today’s immigration policies and talk about national identity. The mixing of races and cultures mocks these retreats behind the walls of identity, defies all categorisation, and transmits a troubling, implacable message of change, for tomorrow humankind will be mixed or it will not be.
Thierry Smits’s message is not political, however. It deliberately sets out to be aesthetic and refuses all concessions to exoticism. The principle is to set bodies used to “Western” choreographic techniques but nevertheless shaped by other traditions and dances in motion. They dance in a white decor and are literally transported by Johan Sebastian Bach’s music, by its overflowing generosity and immense virtuosity. The challenge is obviously to manage the unexpected outcomes of the meeting of different cultural references.
In putting nine bodies sculpted and sublimated by dance and music on the stage, Thierry Smits issues a message of love by giving a metaphorical dimension to the difference of the loved one, for the other one whom one loves is, by definition, different from the one of oneself. To celebrate twenty years of choreographic creation, Thierry Smits is treating himself to a moment of immense pleasure whilst offering his audience, family, friends, and lovers this visual gift, proof of a constantly renewed energy and an endless hunger to love passionately.
In the quest for flawless complexion, a glow that comes from within and skin that is taut and supple, we have tried all sorts of potions. But here is a formulation that delves into Ayurvedic beliefs and ingredients to give a product that actually works from first application.
Kairali is a name synonymous with natural and organic herbal remedies that naturally enhance the beauty of our skin, preventing and doing away with several common skin concerns such as pimples, acne, spots, dark circles, scars, wrinkles and aging signs. Kaircin – a traditional facial oil serum to look young and have a great skin enriched with goodness of saffron and vetiver grass – maintains this reputation. The texture may be that of oil, but the product is especially helpful in winters.
Loaded with natural Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHAs) from saffron and Vetiveria Zizanioides (popularly known as Khus), this oil serum is meant to be applied on cleansed facial skin and washed off with warm water after half an hour before going to bed in the night. Initially, there is a typical smell associated with Ayurvedic concoctions, but once you apply two tiny drops on your face, the smell disappears. Do make sure to dab an extra drop around your eyes if you have dark circles or puffy eyes. Even the unsightly crow’s feet smoothen out with a month of regular application of Kaircin.
Despite the oily texture, there is no sticky feeling on the face and your skin will appear supple the very next morning. Use this product regularly for a week and you will notice how the blemishes, patches and tan fade away and the skin appears detoxified, brighter and fuller. After a month of regular use, you will be addicted to this product as your face has a natural glow and improved texture. Kaircin also contains healing and anti-aging properties that help to soothe, repair and rejuvenate the skin to make it look younger and flawless.
Kaircin is highly natural and herbal. Suitable for all skin types, it is a powerful combination of modern technology and ancient recipe to provide a healing tonic. Kaircin also detoxifies skin, promotes blood circulation, gives strength and colour to skin, and imparts softness and glow for a healthy, radiant, and luminous complexion. Meant for all age-groups, Kaircin is an ideal all care cream for your face.
Only available at Kairali’s online portal www.kairaliprodcuts.com, Kaircin costs Rs 500 for 25ml. One unit of the pump dispenser will last you for a little more than a month.
Garza real
Ardea cinerea
Familia: Ardeidos – Ardeidae
Aspecto: Garza grande, de complexión robusta, predominantemente de color gris, con un pico recto, fuerte, en forma de daga. Las garzas pueden diferenciarse de las grullas durante el vuelo, y a menudo también cuando están de pie, por la forma en que encorvan su cuello.
Tamaño: Largo 84-102 cm, envergadura alar 155-175 cm, peso 930-1.150 g.
Nido: Una gran pila desarreglada de ramas, generalmente construido muy alto en un abeto o pino. Las aves pueden usar el mismo nido durante muchos años.
Reproducción: Pone 6 huevos en mayo, incubados de forma alternada por los padres, en 4 a 6 períodos, durante 25 a 28 días. Las aves jóvenes aprenden a volar aproximadamente a los 50 días. Muchas garzas reales anidan en colonias.
Distribución: Ave migratoria de verano que se reproduce poco en Finlandia (solo hay alrededor de 100 parejas). En los últimos años, los avistamientos de invierno se han vuelto más comunes.
Migración: Pasa el invierno en el oeste y sur de Europa. La migración de otoño puede tener lugar entre mediados de agosto y principios de noviembre, y las aves regresan de marzo a mayo.
Alimentación: Acecha inmóvil a lo largo de costas, lista para emboscar, en espera de que peces y animales acuáticos pequeños estén a su alcance.
Sonidos: Un chillido fuerte, molesto, similar al llamado de la pagaza piquirroja.
La garza real tiene partes superiores de color gris claro, y partes inferiores de color blanco grisáceo. Su cabeza es mayormente blanca, excepto por una raya negra que se extiende desde encima de sus ojos hasta la parte posterior de su cuello, donde algunas de sus plumas se alargan para formar una cresta. Los adultos con plumaje de apareamiento pueden tener un color rosáceo a los lados del cuello, y algunas filas de rayas oscuras en el cuello y el pecho. La garza real tiene el pico de color amarillo o naranja amarillento, patas de color marrón opaco e iris amarillo.
Las aves inmaduras generalmente se parecen a las adultas, pero su capuchón y su cuello son más grises (y el cuello no tiene color rosáceo). Su pico es más pardusco y el iris es blanco.
This for Cubans is a top job. Working as a waitress in a five star hotel in Varadero. They are well paid (by Cuban standards) and get tips from the tourists. Many Blacks and Mulattos complain because they find it hard to get jobs like this because supposedly tourists prefer "lighter complexions".

Description
Group portrait of three unidentified soldiers, probably of the 10th Battalion, in a sandbagged trench. One is possibly Lieutenant Herbert Walter Crowle, 3rd Reinforcements, 10th Battalion, of North Adelaide, SA, who was wounded at Mouquet Farm, Pozieres, and died on 25 August 1916.
I have had an enquiry about photos of H.W. CROWLE from a professional TV researcher Lisa Savage, so I sent her some copies of pictures I got from his grandson John S. CROWLE.
She wants to use them in a documentary but will need to re-scan the originals - I have told her that we don't know for sure who is in the photographs.
She has tried to contact John S. CROWLE without success, so I am hoping that our family photographic expert (you !!) can tell us the whereabouts of the originals. I don't think they come from Kelly's collection.
I have attached the pics of interest.
Any help gratefully received,
cheers for now,
Trev.

Herbert Walter (Bert) Crowle 1884 - 1916
Known as Bert, Herbert Walter Crowle's parents were his father John William Crowle and mother Matilda Alice Matthews Crowle, of Glen Huntley (late of Hamilton) in Victoria. He had been apprenticed to a Builder, named Stone & Coy, in Melbourne for 4 years. Having moved to Adelaide by the time of his enlistment he was described by vocation as a Master Builder.
At enlistment he was 30 years 11 months old; married; 5’ 5” tall; 147 lbs of fair complexion; blue eyes; brown hair. His religion was given as Church of England.
His Next of kin was listed as his wife, Mrs Mary Beatrice Crowle at Bennington Road, Eastwood SA. They had a son, William (Bill) Herbert Crowle who was seven (7) years old when Bert enlisted. The family were later living in Kermode Street North Adelaide.
Bert also had a brother in Adelaide; William A Crowle, of Kensington Gardens SA.
He enlisted as a private in the 10th Battalion on 22 December 1914. He landed at Gallipoli with the 3rd reinforcements before being wounded two weeks later.
Following recuperation in hospital in Alexandria he embarked once more for ANZAC in November 1915. However by this time the 10th Battalion had withdrawn for rest on Lemnos, so Bert rejoined the unit there. He was promoted Lance Corporal in December.
After a period of training and reorganisation in Egypt, the 10th Battalion moved to the Western Front in France. Bert's chronology of service was as follows:
In July 1916 the battalion took part in the battle for Pozières village and then in August, around Mouquet Farm.
By this time the Battalion had endured heavy casualties and as always the junior officers suffered a disproportionately high rate. It appears that Bert Crowle having demonstrated the requisite ability, was commissioned in the Field.
When the fighting shifted from Pozieres, after the Windmill feature was captured and changed dirrection towards Mouquet Farm, Bert Crowle was leading a platoon. Later that month Bert Crowle was wounded by a German machine gun while endeavouring to communicate with an adjacent group of troops. He was evacuated wounded to the 3rd Casualty Clearing Station behind the lines.
His wound became infected (there were no anti-biotics at that time) and despite surgery his condition deteriorated. Hours before he died on 25 August 1916, his condition had deteriorated such that he could not write, so he dictated a letter to his wife, Beatrice and their young son Bill back in Australia. A chaplain working at the clearing station wrote the letter on his behalf. It remains one of the most poignant letters of its kind and is often quoted.
“Dearest Beat and Bill,
Just a line you must be prepared for the worst to happen any day. It is no use trying to hide things. I am in terrible agony & I was hit running out to see the other officer who was with me but badly wounded. I ran too far as I was in a hurry and he had passed the word down to return, it kept coming down and there was nothing to do but go up and see what he meant. I got two machine-gun bullets in the thigh another glanced off by my water bottle and another by the periscope I had in my pocket you will see that they send my things home. It was during the operations around Mouquet Farm about 20 days I was in the thick of the attack on Pozières as I had just about done my duty. Even if I get over it I will never go back to the war as they have taken pounds of flesh out of my buttock & The Stretcher Bearers could not get the wounded out any way than over the top and across the open. They had to carry me four miles with a man waving a red cross flag in front and the Germans did not open fire on us.
Well dearest I have had a rest, the pain is getting worse and worse.
I am very sorry dear, but still you will be well provided for I am easy on that score.
So cheer up dear I could write on a lot but am nearly unconscious.
Give my love to Dear Bill and yourself, do take care of yourself and him.
Your loving husband, Bert.”
(“This letter of farewell, with another letter from the chaplain, are held at the AWM.”)
In October 1919 Beatrice (his wife) and William (his brother) had a large headstone erected over his grave at the time and the Imperial War Graves Commission has maintained the original in Puchevilliers British Cemetery ever since. [AWM P04864.001]
Bert Crowle was 32 years old. His name is listed on the Roll of Honour (panel 58) in the Commemorative Area at the Australian War Memorial, Canberra, ACT, along with over 60,000 others from the First World War opposite the Pool of Reflection.

Biography by Steve Larkins
From François Berthout
2nd Lt Herbert Walter Crowle,
Australian Infantry Battalion,
3rd Brigade, 1st Australian Division
In the fields of the Somme, peaceful and silent under the poppies which grow in red waves, rest in peace, under the rows of their eternal graves, thousands of young men, a whole generation who here fought and paid the supreme sacrifice in the trenches and which side by side, lived and fell united in the mateship in which they still stand proudly and which, now and forever will be remembered and honored for all they did for us, for who they were, men above all and for what they are today, our heroes, our valiant Diggers, our sons, my boys of the Somme on whom I would always watch with respect so that they are never forgotten.
Today, it is from the bottom of my heart, with the highest respect and with gratitude that I would like to honor the memory of one of these young men, one of my boys of the Somme who gave his today for our tomorrow.I would like to pay a very respectful tribute to Second Lieutenant Herbert Walter Crowle who fought in the 10th Australian Infantry Battalion, 3rd Brigade, 1st Australian Division, and who died of his wounds 105 years ago, on August 25, 1916 at the age of 32 on the Somme front.
Herbert Walter Crowle was born on February 29, 1884 in North Carlton, Victoria, and was the son of John William Crowle and Matilda Alice Crowle (née Matthews), of Glen Huntley (late of Hamilton) in Victoria. Herbert was educated at Faraday Street State School, and after graduation, he apprenticed to a builder named Stone and Coy, in Melbourne for four years.Before the outbreak of the war, he met and married Mary Beatrice Crowle and had a son, William, who was affectionately named "Bill" and who was only 7 years old when his father got enlisted. They lived in Bennington Road, Eastwood, South Australia, then to Kermode Street, North Adelaide, where Herbert worked as a master builder.
Herbert enlisted on December 12, 1914 in Oaklands, South Australia, as a Private in the 10th Australian Infantry Battalion, 3rd Reinforcement, and after a two month training period, he embarked with his unit from Melbourne, Victoria, on board HMAT A54 Runic on February 19, 1915 and sailed for the Gallipoli peninsula.
On May 9, 1915, Herbert was disembarked in Gallipoli but a week later, on May 16, he received a slight bullet wound to his left eye and was admitted to the 1st Australian Casualty Clearing Station, Anzac, then was evacuated to the hospital in Alexandria, Egypt, on May 23 and following his recovery, in November, he embarked again for Anzac, Gallipoli, However by this time the 10th Australian Infantry Battalion had withdrawn for rest on Lemnos, Greece, so Bert rejoined the unit there then embarked for Egypt.
On December 29, 1915, Herbert arrived in Egypt and was disembarked at Alexandria and a month later, on January 24, 1916, was promoted to the rank of Corporal at Serapeum then to the rank of Sergeant on March 1 and fought in the front line in defense of the Suez Canal, then on March 27, he joined the BEF (British Expeditionary Force) in Alexandria and embarked on board Saxonia the same day with his battalion and proceeded overseas for France.
After a week of a journey on the waters of the Mediterranean Sea, Herbert arrived in France and was disembarked in Marseilles on April 3, 1916 then, on June 6, he entered for the first time in the trenches in the Petillon sector then a month later, on July 22, he rejoined the Somme and the front line at Pozieres which was the first major engagement of the 10th Australian Infantry Battalion and the AIF on the Somme front. Herbert and the 10th Battalion fought with distinction from the July 22 to 25, 1916 in Pozieres but during these three days, they suffered 350 casualties and had to withdraw from the line of fire and marched to Bonneville, Somme, to reorganize and be reinforced.
For his courage alongside his men at Pozieres, Herbert was promoted to the rank of Second Lieutenant on August 5, 1916 and on August 19, alongside the 10th Australian Infantry Battalion, he joined the front line at Mouquet farm but unfortunately the next day he met his fate.
On August 20, 1916, he was wounded by a German machine gun while endeavouring to communicate with an adjacent group of troops and was evacuated to the 3rd Casualty Clearing Station behind the lines, at Puchevillers, a few kilometers from Pozieres.
Unfortunately, his wound became infected (there were no anti-biotics at that time) and despite surgery his condition deteriorated. Hours before he died on August 25, 1916, his condition had deteriorated such that he could not write, so he dictated a letter to his wife, Beatrice and their young son "Bill" back in Australia. A chaplain working at the clearing station wrote the letter on his behalf.
The following letter is one of the most poignant and one of the most moving I have ever read and its reading was not without tears:
"Dearest Beat and Bill,
Just a line you must be prepared for the worst to happen any day. It is no use trying to hide things. I am in terrible agony and I was hit running out to see the other officer who was with me but badly wounded. I ran too far as I was in a hurry and he had passed the word down to return, it kept coming down and there was nothing to do but go up and see what he meant. I got two machine-gun bullets in the thigh another glanced off by my water bottle and another by the periscope I had in my pocket, you will see that they send my things home. It was during the operations around Mouquet Farm about 20 days I was in the thick of the attack on Pozières as I had just about done my duty. Even if I get over it I will never go back to the war as they have taken pounds of flesh out of my buttock and The Stretcher Bearers could not get the wounded out any way than over the top and across the open. They had to carry me four miles with a man waving a red cross flag in front and the Germans did not open fire on us.
Well dearest I have had a rest, the pain is getting worse and worse.
I am very sorry dear, but still you will be well provided for I am easy on that score.
So cheer up dear I could write on a lot but am nearly unconscious.
Give my love to Dear Bill and yourself, do take care of yourself and him.
Your loving husband, Bert."
The original letter is now kept at the Australian War memorial in Canberra.
Five days later, on August 25, Herbert died of his wounds, he was 32 years old.
Today Second Lieutenant Herbert Walter Crowle rests in peace with his men, friends and brothers in arms at Puchevillers British Cemetery, Somme, and his grave bears the following inscription "He gave his all that they should not pass."
In October 1919, his wife Beatrice and his brother William had a large headstone erected over his grave at the time and the Imperial War Graves Commission has maintained the original in Puchevilliers British Cemetery ever since.
In the second and third photo, Herbert is standing in the back row to the left and in the fourth photo, he is sitting smoking his pipe. In the fifth photo, William is standing in front of his brother Herbert's grave.
Herbert, young and brave, it is with bravery and determination that you have served and fought for your country, for Australia and for France alongside your comrades, your brothers in arms by wearing with honor the colors under the same uniform and for the same causes, for peace and freedom but also to offer your wife, your son a better world, a world in peace and for that, with their love in your heart, you did your duty with loyalty and perseverance until your last breath of life in the poppy fields on which so many men gave their lives and did what was right, they fought the good fight and in the trenches of the great war, all did their part and gave all they had to put an end to all wars and today rest in the peace of the sacred grounds of the Somme which were, more than a hundred years ago, a hell of blood and fire in which the dismal roar of shells and men were all that millions of men heard day and night during four years of an endless war that claimed millions of lives.In the mud they dug kilometers of trenches, the last shelter before walking through the battlefield, the final limit between life and death in which these young men lived in mud and blood and could see, above the parapet , death and the apocalypse, the bodies of their comrades who fell before them under the fire of the machine guns who swept the no man's land at an incense rate and who, in showers of bullets and lead, spit death on the waves of men who moved forward with courage but who often had no chance to reach their objectives.United in tight ranks, they marched towards their destinies, watching over each other and with their heads held high, proud and guided by their convictions, they charged, bayonets forward through the poppies, for their loved ones, for the king and their country they went beyond the bravery that a man can give in the darkest hours but together, by their courage, perseverance and tenacity, they wrote history and made their country proud and more than a hundred years later, the Somme, France will never forget Australia, we will never forget our courageous and valiant Diggers who fought with bravery alongside their French and British brothers in arms who fought together for the peace in which we live.We will never forget what they went through and what they sacrificed in this horrible war in which they showed their bravery and remained strong and united in the mateship which symbolizes the courage of Australians and the spirit of ANZAC, of our heroes, my boys of the Somme for whom I feel the greatest admiration and pride and whom I wish to bring to life so that they are never forgotten, so that what they did for the Somme and France is never forgotten.They were young and thanks to them I reached the age of 31, a long life compared to many of them so I want to dedicate mine to them to bring their memories and their stories to life, I will always be there for them and for their families for whom I would always give my energy and my heart because for me, watching over them is a pride that I carry in my heart and my words are nothing compared to what they did for us but I would like to say thank you to all these men, these heroes that I would have liked to meet to shake their hands, with tears of gratitude in my eyes and that I get to know through their stories and to whom I would always express myself with my heart. Thank you so much Herbert, for everything.At the going down of the sun and in the morning,we will remember him,we will remember them.
Edward Butler may have been in this trench too, they both died within days of each other!

My two Aurora Dolls have been fully deboxed, and are standing side by side. They are both supported by Kaiser stands. They were made for the Disney Maleficent live action movie (wide release on May 30, 2014), by Tollytots, a division of Jakks Pacific. On the left the Beloved Aurora Doll, in the simpler blue satin outfit. On the right is the Royal Coronation Aurora Doll, in a much more detailed gold brocade dress, with matching train. She also has a gold crown of a floral design. The dolls have identical bodies and faces, very similar hair styles, and shoes of the same style (but different colors). They are both about 11 1/2 inches tall in their high heeled shoes, but Coronation Aurora appears to be 1/8 inch taller.
Review of Beloved Aurora Doll
Both Beloved and Royal Coronation Aurora dolls have identical faces. Her face is pretty, but bland and generic. She only has a passing resemblance to the movie character, as portrayed by Elle Fanning. She doesn't have very realistic features, but looks like an ordinary doll painted to look like an animated character. She has a light complexion, small blue green eyes gazing straight ahead, brown eyebrows, small straight nose, light pink lips on a small mouth, large chin, and light rouge on her cheeks.
Her hair out of the box is much neater than Coronation Aurora's hair. Like the other doll, she has a long side curl down the left side of her head. It is bit stiff from hair product, and is a much tighter curl than the one on Coronation Aurora. There is also some hair product in the side bangs right over her forehead. The rest of her hair is loose and gently wavy down the her back to her hips, and is soft and smooth. Her hair is thinly rooted hair over most of her head, so a bald spot is visible right behind her side bangs. Also bald spots are easily visible if her hair is moved around on the top of her head. It would help if she had some hair ornaments or headdress to help hide the bald spots.
Her outfit is very simple. It is a full length one piece dress, made of light blue satin, with gold glitter decoration, white organza trim at the collar, flared full length sleeves, and a plastic belt around her waist with a hanging piece down the front of her dress. The satin is shiny and very smooth, and the glitter does not shed at all. In addition to the gold glitter, there is also printed flowers in the hem of the dress. She is wearing the same style high heeled shoes as Coronation Aurora, but these are light blue in color instead of tan.
Her body is identical to that of Coronation Aurora. See the review below for details.
Packaging and Deboxing the Beloved Aurora Doll
Deboxing the Beloved Aurora Doll by Tollytots/Jakks Pacific was more difficult than for the Coronation Aurora doll. In order to remove the front plastic cover from the box, it was necessary to almost tear the back of the box apart, as the two layers of the backing were taped and glued shut. The tabs of the plastic cover were also taped and glued to the inside of the backing. The box would need a lot of tape to put it back together securely, if it were to be reused for storing or displaying the doll in the box. And the tearing apart of the backing of course creased and weakened the cardboard.
Aurora is standing on a small cardboard spacer. Behind her is a printed background from the movie, which is common to all the dolls in this series. Unfortunately, the bottom of the backing was not square to the back side, so the doll would fall face forward if I tried to stand her up in the backing.
Removing her from the backing was very easy, especially compared to most Disney Store dolls. There was only plastic T-tab fasteners securing her to the backing and the plastic spacer. It was possible to reach all the fasteners and snip them off, without having to remove the large plastic spacer, including the one through the back of her head. The remaining post sticking out of her head was snipped off as close to her scalp as possible, without cutting her hair. Unlike Coronation Aurora, there was no tissue paper around her legs.
Review of Royal Coronation Aurora Doll
Her face is pretty, but bland and generic. She only has a passing resemblance to the movie character, as portrayed by Elle Fanning. She doesn't have very realistic features, but looks like an ordinary doll painted to look like an animated character. She has a light complexion, small blue green eyes gazing straight ahead, brown eyebrows, small straight nose, light pink lips on a small mouth, large chin, and light rouge on her cheeks.
She has long golden blonde hair that reaches her hips. There is a solitary long curl hanging from her left side. The rest of her hair is slightly wavy, and is grouped in a single mass, which I left alone. It would look better if it were combed out, but I was afraid that it might get frizzy if I attempted to do so. The hair is shiny and soft, and doesn't appear to have any hair product.
The dress is golden brocaded satin, with a floral design. The underside is very light tan in color. There is also a painted floral overlay in pink and green, which is only in the front of the dress (the front of the skirt and bodice). There is golden lace trim at the hem, waist and collar and cuffs. Her collar and cuffs end in white organza. The skirt is pleated, and almost floor length. The bodice has a high waist, with a golden belt sewn around it. Her sleeves are full length. There is a over sized train sewn to the back of the dress, just below the waist. It made of the same material and has the same decoration as the front of the skirt. Its underside is fully lined with gold satin. The dress looks and feels luxurious, and fit for royalty.
She is wearing tan colored heels, with a simulated strap and an unpainted embossed floral design. She is wearing a gold colored plastic crown that is made to look like a floral wreath, that goes halfway around her head. It is secured only by two T-tab fasteners, so it is not meant to be removed or used on other dolls.
Her body is made of hard plastic throughout. She has seven points of articulation: her neck, shoulders, elbows and hips. Her hands are permanently tilted back to make the standard Princess pose. Her feet are fixed at an angle to wear high heels. Her head can turn 360 degrees around, and can tilt up about 20 degrees, and tilt down 10 degrees. Her arms can swivel about the shoulders 360 degrees, and can tilt about 20 degrees. Her forearms can swivel around her elbows almost 360 degrees, but cannot go completely around. They can tilt back about 20 degrees, and forward about 60 degrees. Her hips can swivel 90 degrees both back and forth, and can tilt out about 30 degrees. She has white painted on underwear, which looks like a strapless one piece bathing suit.
Packaging and Deboxing the Coronation Aurora Doll
It was easy to debox Coronation Aurora, compared to most Disney Store dolls. First step was to remove the clear plastic cover from the box, by cutting the tape around the edges, and lifting the tabs free from the cardboard. Aurora is standing on a small cardboard spacer. Behind her is a printed background from the movie, which is common to all the dolls in this series. There was only plastic T-tab fasteners securing her to the backing and the plastic spacer. It was possible to reach all the fasteners and snip them off, without having to remove the large plastic spacer. It turned out that the fastener that was supposed to go into the back of her head didn't make it past her hair, so she didn't have a post sticking out of her head when I snipped the fastener loose. The other end of the fastener was just laying loose in her hair. There was tissue paper around her legs, but only up to her knees, to make the skirt look fuller in the box.
Purchase Details
I just received the four available Jakks Pacific dolls from the Maleficent movie in single doll packages. I ordered them from Toys R Us on Friday night and got them Tuesday, with free shipping. I appreciated the quick shipping, compared to the Disney Store. The dolls are the following, with links to the TRU site. All the dolls are 12'' H. The Coronation dolls are $39.95 each, the other two are $19.95. They are also available in some ToysRUs stores. The cheaper dolls are also available online, for the same price, from Amazon.
Observed on: August 30
Agwe is the Voodoo spirit of the sea and the patron of fishermen and sailors. He is represented as a fair-complexioned mulatto with green eyes, and his symbol is a boat. This observance is called Feeding the Sea. At his feast day ceremonies, Agwe is invoked by sounding conch shells. Offerings of champagne and other items are loaded on specially crafted small rafts and set out to sea. If the raft sinks it is believed that the sacrifice has been accepted, and Agwe will protect the interests of the person.
In Vodou, and especially in Haiti, Agwé, is a loa who rules over the sea, fish, and aquatic plants, as well as the patron loa of fishermen and sailors. He is considered to be married to Erzulie Freda and La Sirene. He goes by several titles, including koki la me ("Shell of the Sea"), koki dore ("Golden Shell"), "The Angel in the Mirror", "The Eel", and "The Tadpole in the Pond".
His colours are blue, white, and occasionally sea-green or brown. He is syncretized with the Catholic Saint Ulrich of Augsburg and occasionally the archangel Raphael, both of whom are depicted holding fish.

The Road To A Healthier Complexion Starts With These Expert Skin Care Tips
Even the most health-conscious people often neglect their skin. Your skin is a living organ, and it needs nutrients, care, and professional dermatology care. Fortunately, what is good for the rest of your body is usually also good for your skin. Follow these dermatology skin care tips, and you will enjoy healthy, younger looking skin and better overall health.
Tip #1 You Need to Cleanse Your Face Daily
A daily facial cleansing is not just for acne-prone teenagers. Everyone needs to wash their face at least once a day, preferably twice; this includes adults. Washing your face helps to remove dead skin cells, oil buildup, dirt, and environmental pollutants.
Use a gentle cleanser when washing your face. Water alone is not enough, but you also don’t want to irritate your skin. If you need recommendations, the dermatology experts at Front Range Dermatology in Fort Collins, CO are an excellent resource.
Tip #2 Always Use Sunscreen
You almost certainly know that sunscreen dramatically reduces your risk of certain types of skin cancer. But did you know that sunscreen isn’t just for the summer? Wearing sunscreen whenever you are outdoors is the best practice to protect your skin not only from skin cancer but also from premature aging. This guidance is as true in the winter months as it is at the beach.
Talk to your dermatology professional at Front Range Dermatology or sunscreen brand and SPF recommendations.
Tip #3 Stay Hydrated
Your skin needs to stay moist to be healthy. So how can you accomplish this? The best way to hydrate your skin is from the inside out. In other words, drink plenty of water throughout the day and even more when you are physically active or outside in the heat.
It is a tenet of dermatology that what goes into your body affects your skin. So you should avoid too many dehydrating beverages like alcohol and caffeinated drinks.
Tip #4 Protect Dry Skin
For some people, drinking adequate amounts of water just is not enough to resolve their dry skin. If this is the case for you, be certain to use protective and hydrating lotion. Chapped and dry skin can lead to irritation, inflammation, and even infection. A lotion that locks in moisture can help make a big improvement in your skin condition.
Tip #5 You are What You Eat
Your dietary nutrition is vital to your skin’s health. You should make sure to eat a variety of vegetables and fruits so that you get sufficient vitamins and minerals. Supplements may be necessary in some cases. Speak with your dermatology provider to learn more.
Tip #6 No, Really – You are What You Eat
Good nutrition also means avoiding substances that are bad for you. Sugar, in any form, is a major culprit. The FDA has recently recommended that no more than 10% of your calories should be derived from sugar. This guideline is important for a variety of your body systems, including your skin. Excess sugar is bad for your dermatology health and can cause breakouts and other problems.
Tip #7 See Your Dermatology Provider Once a Year
You visit your dentist twice a year. You get a physical exam from your primary care provider once a year. Do you visit your dermatology doctor regularly? You should, even if you do not have obvious dermatology issues. Seeing your dermatology professional once a year provides the opportunity for skin checks to ensure you have no signs of skin cancer or other skin problems.
Tip #8 Address Suspicious Skin Growths
You should not wait for your annual dermatology exam if you notice a new mole or other skin growth. Any new, enlarging, or otherwise changing skin features need to be investigated by your dermatology doctor right away.
Tip #9 Avoid Caking On the Makeup
The judicious use of makeup, even daily, is fine. However, applying thick foundations and other cosmetics can clog your pores, inflame your skin, and cause breakouts. When it comes to wearing makeup, less is more.
Tip #10 Thoroughly Remove Your Makeup Before Bed
Washing with regular soap and water is not sufficient to remove your makeup each evening. Instead, use a specialized makeup-remover and then wash with soap. Finish up by rinsing thoroughly with water.

Character’s History:
From the moment that Marthos had entered into the world, he fought for everything he now has. With his mother being a full ogre and his distant father being a true dragon, neither side of the family really accepted the scaly child. For the first few years of life, Marthos was raised with other Ogre children. His ‘playmates’ would continually gang up on him and beat him bloody. This went on for a few months before the anger and pride of his dragon heritage truly awoke. Realizing just how different he was, Marthos became the bully and fought with children equal to his age, intimidated those younger then him and fought his elders. Each day would end with blood on his scales, whether it were his or someone else’s it didn’t matter. Marthos learned from an early age to exert his superiority over those around him and to make sure they never forget.
Upon reaching adolescence, his father took over his upbringing. For one year, Marthos was taught combat training, the history of Ulharnoach, encouraged to take an interest in the arts and then sent into the Azure Claw Monastery to undergo strict training. While physically strong thanks to his parents, Marthos focused on strengthening his mind through strict mental exercises and expressing the changes through painting. He spent only five years in the monastery before leaving the lands of his birth and went abroad. Traveling through various kingdoms, Marthos challenged then fell many warriors, he out painted artists and in one unique situation, dueled and humiliated the newly crowned queen of Rauxes. IT was rather shameful, so much so that he left the duel midway in disgust for the puppet the supposed warrior queen had become. Ultimately, he was recalled to his homeland when news of the Patriarch’s failing health reached him. Now two years later, he is acting regent and heir to the throne of Ulharnoach.
