Deboxing the 2013 Formal Merida 11'' doll by the Disney Store. She has been removed from the backing, and placed face up on a counter. The packaging restraints have been removed, as well as her bow and arrow. Her bow and arrow are placed next to her. Her hair has been evened out in the back. It is in two distinct layers. The upper layer is in tight, stringy curls with hair product making is stiff. The lower layer is mainly straight, with soft curls at the ends, and has no hair product. The lower layer is about an inch longer than the upper layer, mainly because it is much less curly.

First Look
Fully posable 11'' doll of Princess Merida in her Formal dress, made of glittering light blue-green satin, with gold trim. There is a printed golden Celtic design at the hem of her skirt. She also wears a gold satin sash around her waist, with a printed Celtic pattern. She wears light teal flat shoes. Comes with bow and arrow, and quiver. Her exact height is 11 1/4'', although the Disney Store lists her as 12'' high.
She is a companion doll to the 2012 Classic Merida 11'' Doll, who comes with the same accessories, but with a dark teal Adventure dress. There was also a slightly different 11'' Merida in formal dress, that came with the Brave Merida and Angus Doll Set (currently sold out). I photograph her boxed, during the deboxing, and fully deboxed. She is also shown with comparable dolls.

Although Halloween is over, the pumpkins that served as Jack-O-Lanterns are still very much alive. They have become a cauldron filled with gooey, oozing, fuzzy, stringy, tangled web of enzymes spores, and mold. All of which are breaking down and consuming the "delectable" flesh of the pumpkin.....every last drop.
People are freaking out over how cool this doll is and with good reason! Her face-up is gorgeous, she has musical note scars molded into her plastic that cascade down the left side of her face onto her shoulder and arm which lead into that black and red tattoo, and her stock (not pictured) is extremely cool. Of course I get antsy leaving these dolls in their stock clothes so within a few hours of getting her I was already changing her! I thought SS Ghoulia's retro 50's outfit was a perfect match to Operetta's big victory rolls. Really the only thing not impressive about her is that all her hair behind the rolls is flat, stringy, and unruly. Otherwise she's pretty much perfect, and easily one of the best Monster High dolls yet!
quite a strange looking creature. my sister loves to eat this stuff...yeah. it's quite popular in hawaii. it comes in like dried stringy pieces. interesting.
I had dinner planned the day Laura arrived to Puerto Vallarta, but the thing I wanted to share with her most was a mango. Depending on what kind of mango is in season, you can usually score 2lbs. for $1. There is nothing better than bitting into the juicy, sweet, stringy flesh of a mango. Almost everytime I eat a mango, I think about how cool it would have been to be the dinosaur who ate mangos and avocados. Puerto Vallarta, Nayarit, MEXICO
This is a photo of a spin art. If you have never done spin art, it’s fun. It starts with a motorized wheel, comparable to an electric potter’s wheel or a high speed record turntable. A piece of paper gets affixed. You then add paint, then spin it. You can add globs of paint then turn on the motor, or else you can spin up the paper, then apply thin streams of paint to the spinning paper. The effects can be striking or silly, rarely great art, but always fun and a good way to introduce art and creativity to kids. There are technicalities of the media that can make the results better or worse, especially the paints. If you have ever tried this using the kits sold in toy or craft stores, the results often look stringy and runny, a consequence of using thin watery paints. But, get the right type of viscous paint and a good coated paper, and the results get much better. I made this specimen years ago, using thick paints in citrus color, all poured onto the paper from squeeze bottles before turning on the motor. After spinning for a few seconds, here are the results. While this is not really a photo, just a photo of the art, it has been useful for me as a texture or visual resource to be combined with other photos in creating new art. As an example, it has been combined with the accompanying closeup photo of a hibiscus blossom (taken in a garden in San Diego) to create a new vision of the flower bursting into color. Two similar but subtle variations of this mashup are presented.

Photo & Art Series 2
Sometimes, a photo by itself is boring or mundane, but it has an alternative life or message when combined with other imagery for an artistic reinterpretation. Sometimes a photo is not much of an image by itself, but it is a useful graphical element or resource that can be used to add textures, colors, or other enhancements to other photos or art. Sometimes a photo inspires new meanings or interpretations, and artistic re-renderings of the photo can elevate it beyond its face value subject. In this series of images, photos have been combined, hashed, rehashed, and mashed up to make new art and images.
or "How I First Saw Him"
I was working in a record store when Savage Garden broke through with their first hit, "I Want You." I can remember people coming in asking for "that song about cherry cola." "Cherry cola? What?" Once we knew what it was, once we had their single and then their album in stock, I was an instant fan. That first song was like everything pop music is and should be, but it still managed to sound like something new that I'd never heard before.
Lately I can't stop listening to their music again. They only released 2 albums before going their separate ways - but wow, both albums are full of amazing songs.
This is how Darren Hayes looked when I first saw him (alongside his blond SG partner Daniel Jones). Baggy spaceage clothes, guyliner, and that stringy, kooky-but-cool hairstyle. I think what I admired most about him from the very beginning was that he was never afraid to look feminine. He was confident and just doing his own thing, being his own person, rocking his own tune.
Didymosphenia geminata from New Zealand. It is also found in Vermont. In recent years it has become a serious problem, growing in huge quantities in some rivers. It produces great stringy masses of the diatoms. It has two nicknames: Didymo and the descriptive rock snot.
My friend recommended this mushroom burger from Shake Shack and god damn, it was fucking amazing.
When they gave me my order, I was confused and asked them "is this the mushroom burger?" because I seriously thought it was a piece of fried chicken hahaha. I had no idea that the mushroom would be in fried batter and filled with delicious stringy cheese.

Every morning I get up, take the broom and sweep these long stringy webs from between all the plants. Now I know who is making them. I should be a little more aware when I poke my hands into the plants to get those pesky hard to see webs.
Emu Bottom Homestead is a historic homestead near Sunbury, in Victoria. Built around 1836, Emu Bottom is the oldest existing farmhouse constructed by settlers in Victoria. It was so named because it was on low lying ground which was the haunt of numerous emus. The main homestead and some of its outlying buildings were constructed from local stone, dry coursed with creek mud and stringy bark.
Emu Bottom is also a rare example of early Australian colonial architecture, with its twelve paned deeply recessed windows recalling the old world, whilst the homestead was also intelligently adapted to the new harsh Australian environment with its wide verandas and easterly aspect.
The building of Emu Bottom homestead commenced circa 1836. George Evans (1785 – 1876), who had arrived on the Schooner Enterprise from Van Diemen’s Land (now Tasmania) in 1835, settled near modern day Sunbury. Emu Bottom, later called Emu Vale, was occupied by George Evans, by squatting license, as one of many large squatting runs on Crown Land. In 1843, George Evans, then aged fifty-eight, married eighteen year old Anne Holden. Six children were born from the union and grew up at the homestead. After 1851, many squatting runs, including Emu Bottom, became available for outright purchase. To George Evans' dismay, “his” run was purchased by the immensely wealthy pastoralist W. J. T. Clarke. The homestead block of 640 acres stayed with George Evans, but this was hardly viable. In about 1860, George Evans leased the property and moved to operate the Royal Oak Hotel in Queen Street in central Melbourne. He died in Melbourne in 1876, but his family eventually returned to Emu Bottom. In 1916 the last of Evans’ son’s died and the property passed through several owners, being renamed “Holly Green.”
In 1968, the property was purchased by the current owners, and Holly Green was completely restored and was given back its original - if perhaps less poetic - name. During restoration, several discoveries were made including the original kitchen fireplace and oven, as well as some artifacts. Today the homestead and surrounds are managed as a reception centre.

The Wachirathan Waterfall (pronounced "wah-chee-rah-TAHN"; also spelled Vachirathan) was the second major waterfall on the way up to the summit of Doi Inthanon. Of all the waterfalls we saw in Doi Inthanon National Park, we thought this one had the most power and spray, and it was probably the most impressive of the lot on the mountain's slopes.
Even though our guide told us that this was 80m in cumulative height, I was thinking it was more like 40m or so. The falls was also wide, but segmented during our visit as the far right section of the falls were stringier than the left. I reckon during the wet season, this would be both wide and raging.
ACSB and PanCo played for the Parade then performed a concert. Have never seen so many 'pirates' in my life! Crazy! Lots of Pirate Captains and Pirate Queens...but also some pretty scurvy lads and wenches. I was particulary impressed with one chap's greasy, stringy, dread-locky-with-junk hairdo...until I realized it was his own nasty hair. PS - Lucie and I drive the van for parades.
Looks delicious - not! Really shows off the length of the tail in this angle.

Cheeks were very tasty, meat was somewhat stringy consistency, but it also had a good amount of fat that made sure it didnt try out, very satisfying dish. And the 3 tiny slices of orange were incredibly sweet and fresh, I wish there were more.

What is the Difference Between Lichen and Moss?
Mosses and lichens are often confused, in part because many common names for lichens include the word “moss.”
In fact, the two organisms are radically different and are not even in the same kingdom. Both moss and lichen are fascinating organisms, often overlooked because they are small and not very showy. Lichens and mosses grow all over the world and are used for dyes, animal fodder, ornamentation, medicines, and religious practices.
Lichens are perhaps the most amazing living things on Earth, because a lichen represents a symbiotic relationship between a fungus and either algae or cyanobacteria. The symbiotic nature of lichen was not fully understood until the 19th century, when the idea was first proposed. Lichens form a fascinating example of cooperative relationships in nature, with the fungus using the algae or bacteria to produce energy, while the algae or bacteria enjoys the protection the fungus provides.
Lichens take three forms. Crustose lichens, often found growing on rocks, are characterized by a crusty appearance. Crustose lichens are often vividly colored and create the bright streaks seen on rocks from a distance. Foliose lichens are leafy or stringy and are often found growing on the ground or around trees. Fruticose lichens form stalks, which sometimes form bright fruiting bodies.
Most observers don't even notice the small and ubiquitous lichen, but a determined searcher can find hundreds of lichen species on a short walk in any region, from the depths of the woods to the streets of a major urban area. Lichens can be extremely difficult to properly identify, often requiring the use of a microscope and specialized staining to discover the mingled identities coming together to make the lichen.
Moss, on the other hand, is a plant. Moss belongs to the bryophyta phylum, which is one of the most genetically diverse on Earth, including 10,000 species in 700 genera. Moss can be found all over the world as well, and it forms a major part of many ecologies by holding back erosion, retaining water, and feeding numerous animal and insect species. Moss is an archaic non-vascular plant, meaning that it has been around in various forms for millions of years, and it reproduces by casting out spores. Like lichen, moss can also reproduce from broken off parts of the parent plant.
Physically, lichens and mosses can be difficult to distinguish. In general, mosses grow in moist dark areas and have small leaf-like structures, in addition to stems. Lichens often appear grey or pale white in appearance, while moss is usually green. Many lichens also create disc shaped fruiting bodies, which cannot be seen on mosses.
Lichens reproduce in several ways. Many lichens produce spores that attempt to capture partner algae or bacteria, while others reproduce through fragments of the lichen that break off and scatter. Lichens can grow almost anywhere in the world, from extremely acidic soil to freezing arctic conditions, and are found growing on trees, rocks, and everything in between. Contrary to popular belief, the lichens that colonize trees, such as members of the Usnia family, are not harmful to their hosts, and in fact, they often capture valuable nutrients.
