These photos are from the front line of our June 5th flotilla. Backbone's lead support boat, checking in with frontline paddlers, coordinating deployment and supporting the brave kayaktivists as they faced off with a monstrous oil rig in Seattle's Elliott Bay.
When we learned of the 5am departure, we rallied as many as we could to come to the faceoff.
Greenpeace attempted to establish a hard blockade that would have provided much more time to get people on the water, but it collapsed within a few minutes. Backbone Campaign's Flotilla launched and Greenpeace's collection of fierce paddlers joined us in attempting to slow the departure of Shell's arctic destroying, climate cooking plans.
Though we would have loved to have stopped it, we hope that the courage of these few will inspire others in the future and inform future actions. Immediately after it left the waters of Seattle, it was intercepted by additional kayaktivists off the shore of Bainbridge Island, and then again in the more treacherous waters offshore of Port Townsend.
Our power and potential for on water resistance is growing.

My 2013 Classic Jasmine 12'' Doll has been completely deboxed. She is standing, supported by a Kaiser doll stand (not included with the doll), and is photographed from various angles. Here the low sun is casting a long shadow of Jasmine, ending in her silhouette.
The 2013 Classic Jasmine doll has many differences from the 2012 model, and yet looks very similar. She is now more movie accurate and overall a more attractive doll. The only major change is to her legs, from fully articulated hard plastic legs to rubber legs with internal knee joints and fixed angled feet. But since her outfit covers her legs almost entirely, these changes are not immediately noticeable. There are minor changes to her outfit and accessories, the biggest changes being the return of her triangular earrings, the removal of her overskirt, and the introduction of a pattern in the glitter of her outfit. The features that haven't changed are her head, face, hair, skin color, shoes, torso and arms.
Following is a detailed comparative review of the 2013 Classic Jasmine Doll versus the 2012 Classic Jasmine doll. The review is divided in various physical categories.
Head and Face: The 2012 and 2013 Classic Jasmine dolls have identical heads and almost identical faces. She is large almond shaped brown eyes that are glancing to her upper right. She has silver and pink eyeshadow, and thick black eyeliner with two short thick black eyelashes over the corner of each eye. There are thick black eyebrows that are arched at the ends. She has a small straight nose. She has a closed mouth smile with full pink lips. Her cheeks are lightly blushed with pink rouge. She has pronounced cheekbones, and a large protruding forehead. Overall, she is very movie accurate, except for her high forehead.
There are three small differences in their faces, that may be due to factory variances. One is that the new Jasmine's face is a little less shiny, although that may be due to my washing with alcohol to clean off some blemishes. Another difference that the new Jasmine has slightly darker and fainter pink upper eyeshadow. Finally she has slightly darker pink lips.
Hair: The 2013 Classic Jasmine doll has the same hair as the previous model. It is jet black, long and mostly straight. It is formed into a long ponytail that hangs almost to her knees, and tied at two points with black rubberbands. It is parted in the middle, and pulled away from her forehead without the use of any hair product, so it is soft and smooth throughout. The ends of the ponytail is curled and a little messy. I tried to make it neater by combing it, but wasn't very successful. The hairdo is fairly movie accurate, but should come down over her forehead a lot more, and should be tied with blue bands rather than black ones.
Outfit: The 2013 Classic Jasmine doll's outfit is very similar to the old one, with some significant differences. Her teal satin top is now slightly bluer, is scalloped at the top and bottom, has a design covered in silver glitter, and has a purple gem at the top. It still has off the shoulder straps. The pants bottom is made of the same material, with the same silver glittery pattern. The waistline is still V-shaped, but is now more modest. It is only about 1/4 inch higher than before, but no longer shows her belly button. The waist can be pulled down a bit, but will still just barely show her belly button. Ariel's costume also had a similar change this year, in that her bellybutton now barely shows above the waist of her tail, and can be covered up by pulling up the tail a bit. A fairly big change was the removal of the sheer organza overskirt and the large teal gem at the waist. I don't miss those so much, since they are not in the costume of the movie character.
Shoes: They have identical light blue green flat shoes with a curved toes. It is very movie accurate, but looks a lot better on the flat feet of the 2012 doll, rather on the angled feet of the 2013 doll.
Accessories: The 2013 Classic Jasmine doll has large solid triangular earrings of shiny gold, and a hoop necklace of the same material. They are great looking and very movie accurate, and a significant improvement over the older doll's jewelry. The 2012 doll had hoop earrings with three small spheres inside, and a hoop necklace, all of which were a flat gold color. They have the same light teal satin headbands, but the 2013 doll is now missing the large blue green gem, so is less movie accurate in that regard.
Body: Her body is fully articulated in the arms, but now has the rubber legs of 2011 and earlier dolls, which has internal knee joints and fixed angled feet. Her hip joints allow her to sit down with her legs together and her back straight up, unlike the 2012 doll with the fully articulated but defective legs. But her knees can only bend about 40 degrees, so her legs stick out when she is sitting. The leg joints are also much stiffer, so she is in a much more natural position when placed standing in a Kaiser doll stand. Her angled rubber feet also make her about 1/4 inch taller than the 2012 doll, who had flat feet.
Packaging: The packaging for the dolls is much improved. The box art has been completely redesigned, with beautiful decorations unique to each Princess (actually for each movie), and a cameo of the animated movie character. The boxes are the same height and width (13'' H x 6'' W), but are 1/2'' flatter, making them smaller and lighter. Jasmine's new box has images of Aladdin's Lamp and the Royal Palace in a purple background.

194th Combat Sustainment Support Battalion conducts
convoy live-fire at Story Range, Republic of Korea.

PANMUNJOM - With weapons at the ready, members of 194th Combat
Sustainment Support Battalion set out at dawn to conduct convoy
live-fire training here, March 25.
The fast-paced exercise exposed Soldiers to many of the real-world
perils found on today's asymmetric battlefield, culminating in a series
of drills designed to hone their skills in reacting to road-side bombs
and enemy small-arms fire.
"These Soldiers have been training for the past six months to prepare
for this day and their hard work is evident in the outstanding
performance I've seen throughout the battalion," said Command Sgt. Maj.
Nichelle S. Fails.
At times gritty and intense, the Soldiers worked in teams to zero in on
enemy targets with their rifles and machine guns.
"This scenario is interesting and very realistic," said Pvt. Jiwoo Kim,
a KATUSA assigned to the battalion.
Pvt. Dylan Florres, a battalion mechanic and one of the day's enemy
combatant role-players, sees the training as realistic and a good way to
build unit cohesion. "What we are doing is basically helping Soldiers
learn how to train safely and work as a team," he said.
"Everybody is highly motivated and ready to fight," said Chief Warrant
Officer 4 Joseph Williams, HHC, 194th Combat Support Sustainment
Battalion, safety officer. "Taking care of our Soldiers is very
important, we don't want any injuries. That's why we do risk assessments
and go over all of the details to make this a very safe, yet realistic,
training environment."
Master Sgt. Kenneth Ashley, the day's pyrotechnics NCO, described the
training as important in building teamwork within the battalion. "Here
in Korea and in places like Iraq and Afghanistan, we need to make sure
our Soldiers know how to react under fire and to ensure they are
prepared for anything the enemy throws at them."

I resealed the inner seams as the old stuff was dry and flaking off but didn't do a very neat job. The wire is held in place by plastic clamps to keep it from fraying on the metal.
