It's amazing what a difference some paint and determination can make!!!! So pleased with how this turned out. Turns out all those hours in my childhood spent helping/watching my dad restore wooden boats ( his hobby) taught me a thing or two about salvaging furniture. I got the ultimate seal of approval with a WOW! Impressive work! from my dad via text ( which is a huge deal for him to text lol!) I'll be posting some pictures from my real camera soon and some process shots. The secret to a successful furniture flip is NOT SKIPPING STEPS. A few extra hours isn't that bad!
My 2013 Classic Rapunzel 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.
The 2013 Classic Rapunzel doll has many differences from the 2012 model, and is a greatly improved doll. She is both more attractive and more movie accurate. The major changes are to her head and face, her dress and her legs. There are a minor changes to her hair and she is now barefoot. The only features that haven't changed are her torso and arms. I still prefer the 2011 Classic Rapunzel doll's face. Of course the original 2010 Classic Rapunzel doll has a far superior dress and hair and several accessories. The 2010 doll is still available, repackaged as the 2011 Parks Rapunzel doll, in Disneyland Anaheim as of June 23, 2013.
Her head has been redesigned to be rounder than last year's doll. She has a larger forehead, larger eyes, more pronounced cheekbones, fuller cheeks, wider mouth that still has a smirk, and a smaller chin. Her small nose is slightly straighter, so there is no pronounced knob at the end.
Her face is similar to last years, but with many small changes. Her eyes are wider than before, so they are larger and more oval. Her big green eyes are still glancing to her right, but the pupils are larger, the color is darker, and the whites are larger. She no longer looks like she is glancing to the right but still staring straight ahead (which was a creepy look for the 2012 doll to have). Instead, she looks like she is gracefully looking towards her right. She has two short, thick lashes over the corner of her right eye and three over her left. She has no eyeshadow. Her light brown eyebrows are slightly lighter in color, and closer to her eyes. Her freckles are in a slightly different pattern, and are slightly darker. The rouge on her face is a little darker, and also extends across the middle of her nose. Her closed mouth is a little wider and forms a smirk as before, but her pink lips are now darker and more purple. Overall, her face is much more attractive, feminine and lively, as well as being more movie accurate.
Her golden blonde hair is about 11 inches long, so doesn't quite reach the floor. It is about an inch shorter than the hair on the 2012 Rapunzel, which actually dragged on the floor. It is still straight and free flowing. Right out of the box it is easy to make even by shaking it out, but isn't quite as smooth as the 2012 doll. But it was very easy to comb it to make it smoother and more even. There is a pronounced ridge of hair over her forehead that is fixed in place with gel, so it is quite stiff. The ridge makes her face more open than the 2012 doll, which also helps her appearance. The rest of her hair is soft, smooth and shiny.
The dress is similar in design as the 2012 doll, but is now much more attractive and movie accurate. Her satin bodice is now pink rather than dark purple, with pink corset lacing and a V-shaped waist. She has short puffy satin sleeves with pink and purple stripes. Her purple satin skirt is overlayed with a glittering floral pattern, with a center section that is plain purple satin. This is a switch from the movie version, where the floral pattern was in the central pink panel. However, it is much improved over the purple satin skirt of the 2012 doll, with no central panel, and the glitter in a random spray pattern. The skirt is the same length as before, a couple of inches off the floor. Missing are the sheer pink sleeve extensions on the dresses of the 2012 and earlier versions.
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. I'm glad that she is now barefoot, as she was throughout the original movie. I'd say that the rubber legs are definitely a big improvement, except that glitter tends to stick to them.
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. Rapunzel's artwork has a purple background and includes images of the Sun and her hairbrush. The boxes are the same height and width, but are 1/2'' flatter, making them smaller and lighter.

I noticed a different level of brightness in the colour. I guess the left ones were just getting to much sun. ^^
My lovely (and very talented) young friend Jeta (pronounced Yet-a) joined me at the RenFaire last Sunday. As requested, I tried enhancing some pics digitally. Left is unaltered; right is altered.
Not much change, as you can see.
Central United Methodist Church was one of the first Protestant congregations in Michigan. The church was organized in 1810, incorporated in 1822, and the church building was built in 1865 ( with modifications to the sanctuary in 1867 ) .
Sound-wise this was like a crotch rocket racing a muscle car with a 427. There were great sounds from the leading two units as a result of the effort to climb the hill west of Neenah by M347.

The 2013 Classic Snow White Doll is photographed new in her unopened box.
The 2013 Classic Snow White doll has many differences from the 2012 model, many of which are improvements in my view. The biggest changes are to her hairdo, her skirt and her legs, and the addition of a cape. There were also minor changes to her bow, collar, shoes and painted on underwear. Her head, face, arms and upper torso have remained the same. I like this doll much better than last year, and she represents the movie character much more faithfully.
Her face has remained the same, but I think she is beautiful, lively and very movie accurate. She has a round face, big brown eyes glancing to her right. She has three short thick black lashes over each eye, and short thin black eyebrows. She has small button nose, small full dark pink lips in a sweet open mouthed smile. She has pale flesh colored skin, and her cheeks are lightly rouged.
Her hair is greatly improved over the 2012 doll, mostly due to the redesign of her side curls. She is jet black shoulder length hair, in a bobbed hairdo. The main curls on each side of her head are now much larger, and the upper curls now curve in the same direction (clockwise) as the main curls. The upper side curls are now sewn to her hair, keeping them in place, as was done in the Snow White dolls before 2012. Her hair looks very movie accurate, and is much neater than the old style. There is a bit of gel in the curls, both on the sides and in the back, but the hair is still fairly soft to the touch.
Her dress is yet another version of her iconic blue, yellow and red gown. And with the addition of a red satin cape, her outfit is much closer to the movie character than any Disney Store Classic Snow White doll in recent years. Her bodice is the same as last year. It is dark blue satin covered in blue glitter, with puffy short blue satin sleeves. On her sleeves are oval bright red appliques. Her high white satin collar is rounded looks much better and movie accurate than last year's square cornered collar. Her newly added red satin cape is half-length (about four inches long), and is unfortunately sewn to the back of her dress. It is shorter than the movie cape, but matches the doll's shorter skirt. Her yellow satin skirt has changed a bit from last year. It is a couple of inches shorter, less full, and stiffer with the addition of a golden glitter floral pattern. It's color is more golden than last year. The width of last year's skirt was wasted as there was no petticoat underneath to keep it full. This year's skirt keeps its shape much better due to its stiffness. The glitter does tend to shed, finding its way in the dolls body, legs, face and hair, as well as your hands and the general neigborhood of the doll.
Her shoes are pale yellow flats that are shorter and slighter darker in color than last year's. Their soles are also rounded upwards at the toes, similar to the flats that the Mulan doll always wears. This design looks better on a doll with angled feet, than would the 2012 style flats, which had very flat soles. The red satin ribbon in her hair is thinner than last year's, with a much smaller bow. Last year's ribbon and bow were much prettier, but her bow was placed halfway down the right side of her head. Now the bow is in the center, at the top of her head, where it belongs.
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. I would rather that they fixed the problems with the fully articulated 2012 legs, but when exposed the rubber legs do look a lot better, with the disadvantage of being much less posable. Also the glitter tends to stick to the rubber legs, and it cannot simply be brushed off. Although both dolls are wearing flats, the 2013 doll is about 1/4 inch taller since she has angled feet, wearas the 2012 doll has flat feet.
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. Also the way the dolls are packaged is much simplified, making it much easier and quicker to remove them from the box. Greatly reduced or eliminated are the tiny plastic T-bar fasteners, which secured the outfits to the backing and left little holes and sometimes runs in the fabric. There are still large T-bar fasteners tacking the back of the doll's head to the backing. Also the dolls with free flowing hair no longer have them flattened and sectioned into two parts, making it hard to even out the back of their hair after deboxing. Instead, their hair is gathered up and placed to one side of the doll, and secured by thread. It looks good as is in the box. Or if the doll is deboxed, it is easy to shake out the hair and even it out using just your fingers.

An Anglican church, dating from 1859-60, with a spire added in 1866, all by Frederick Preedy (1820-1898). The north aisle was added in 1883 by Julius Alfred Chatwin (1830-1907). The west end was enlarged in 1899 by J P Sharp (d.1915).
MATERIALS: The walls are constructed from brick with Bromsgrove stone cladding, under plain clay tile roofs.
PLAN: The plan has a chancel with north organ chamber, choir vestry and boiler room, and a five-bay nave, with north and south aisles. There is a Lady Chapel at the east end of the south aisle. The south-west tower houses the present entrance. The north aisle contains a projecting main entrance (not used) and the baptistery is situated in the west end of the church. The westernmost bay of the nave and aisles is divided from the body of the church by a modern screen, beyond which the vestries have been converted to office space.
EXTERIOR: The exterior is eight bays long, and is arranged around an off-centre tower, above the entrance. To the left of the tower, at ground floor level, are the former vestries. The ground floor entrance is framed by buttresses and the tower stair, which is built into the south-west corner of the tower. A Gothic-arched entrance projects forward as a sharp gable, with coping on the parapet. The tower is in three stages: a deep base with buttresses; a belfry section, rich in detail; and a tall broach spire. Detail is most concentrated on the belfry, with its clustered colonnettes dying into a deeply splayed base picked out in a lighter stone. The clustered colonnettes support coupled Gothic arches, with recessed plate tracery, with quatrefoils. The broach spire has gabled dormers, or openings, also in a lighter stone. To the right of the tower is the south aisle, of three bays with buttresses supporting a low roof. Deeply recessed beyond the aisle is the chancel, with a plain elevation of two window bays and a central door.
INTERIOR: The nave has north and south arcades of pointed arches on octagonal piers. The arches and piers are picked out in alternating bands of reddish and cream stone, with the wall elevations plastered. The piers have simple moulded capitals. The roof is an exposed arched-braced construction, with alternating arched braces resting on carved stone corbels and all braces rising to collars. The aisles are of a lean-to construction, with exposed timber roofing, and wainscoting on the walls. The east end of the south aisle has a Lady Chapel. The carved wood pulpit, with ogival arch motif on facets, sits on a carved stone base with engaged colonnettes. The church's foundation stone is housed at the back of the pulpit, which is accessed by an integrated stone stair. The chancel arch is supported on engaged columns with naturalistically-carved capitals and adjacent headstops. The rood screen wrought-ironwork is of some complexity. The north side of chancel has a screen of coupled Gothic arches springing from a freestanding central pier, with a naturalistically-carved capital - a feature repeated on the engaged piers to either side. The deep relief capitals in this section of the church have fine and crisply-realised detail. A reredos dating from 1892 features wainscoting and much ornament such as crocketing over miniature ogival arches. The south wall of the chancel is wainscoted. The servers' vestry has original very deep cupboards.
HISTORY: The railway arrived in King's Heath in 1840, resulting in gradual development of the area from that date onwards. In 1857 Frederick Preedy was chosen to design a low-budget church for the burgeoning area. The builder, Isaac Clulee, managed to pare down the quotation to £1,945.10.0. Building began in early 1859 and the church was consecrated in July 1860. The church was contemporaneously described as being 'in the early decorated style' and was intended to be extended as to when funds became available. A new parish for All Saints was created out of part of the parishes of St Nicolas, King's Norton and St Mary, Moseley, in 1863. In 1866, the spire was added at a cost of about £1,200 and in 1883 the north aisle was added by Julius Alfred Chatwin. In 1892, a new reredos was erected and in 1899 the church was enlarged at the west end to the designs of J P Sharp & Co., Architects of Martineau Street, Birmingham. At the time of inspection (February 2009), the church was being extended to the west, to connect it to the newly-built church centre at the east of the plot in which the church stands.

Pevsner, N and Wedgwood, A, The Buildings of England, Warwickshire (1966), 187
REASONS FOR DESIGNATION: The Anglican Church of All Saints, King's Heath, is designated at Grade II, for the following principal reasons:
* The church is a pleasing asymmetrical design of 1857 by the recognised C19 architect, Frederick Preedy
* The exterior shows impressive massing, and demonstrates good detailing, showing a high degree of quality in design and execution
* Its interior has good-quality stonework and interesting roof structures, complemented by high-quality, crisp carving
* Preedy's church is enhanced by additions by J A Chatwin and J P Sharp, which create a cohesive and handsome ensemble
Was quite misty with the church here.
Buffy Fish Owl (Ketupa ketupu)
The buffy fish owl (Bubo ketupu), also known as the Malay fish owl, is a species of owl in the Strigidae family.
The four fish owls were previously generally separated in the genus Ketupa. mtDNA cytochrome b sequence data is equivocal on which genus name is applied for them, and today they are commonly lumped with the horned and eagle-owls (Bubo) – which they also resemble osteologically very much – for sake of convenience. Depending on whether some little-studied tropical eagle-owls are closer to the fish-owls than to the typical eagle-owls, Ketupa might be a valid genus if these as well as the fishing owls (formerly Scotopelia) are included in it, although there are a number of osteological differences that suggest that fishing and fish owls are not directly related to each other.
Distribution and habitat
It is found from southern Burma and central India to the south and east to Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam, peninsular Thailand, the Malay Peninsula, the Riau Archipelago, Sumatra Brunei, Cocos (Keeling) Islands, Indonesia down to Java, Bali and Borneo. One specimen was recorded at Cocos (Keeling) Island off Australia, 1,050 km (650 mi) outside its regular range. Its natural habitat is wet tropical forests and other woody areas near water, including wooded banks of rivers, lakes and fish ponds and rich paddies. It can survive well close to human habitations but can also be found in desolate mangrove forests and other less-inhabited or uninhabited areas. It mainly lives in lowlands but can be found at up an elevation of 1,600 m (5,200 ft).
Description
The buffy fish owl is a fairly large owl but is the smallest of the four species of fish owl. In total length, this species can range from 38 to 48 cm (15 to 19 in). Body mass can range from 1,028 to 2,100 g (2.266 to 4.630 lb), with an average weight of 1,224 g (2.698 lb). This species is yellowish-brown overall, with considerable variegating with pale buff. The feathers are edged tawny and the wings and tail are broadly barred yellowish and dark brown. The wings are distinctly rounded in shape when this species is seen in flight. The underparts are a yellow-brown, rich buff or fulvous color with broad blackish shaft-stripes. The legs are long and unfeathered. This species slightly overlaps in range with the brown fish owl, but that species is slightly larger and coniserably more brown in overall color with stronger barring and vermiculations below. The tawny fish owl may also marginally overlap with the buffy fish owl in range and is also larger with a much richer tawny color with a more barred tail, a whiter face and about two-thirds of its tarsi feathered. Like all fish owls, the buffy fish owl has prominent ear tufts but they hang to the sides of the head rather than sit atop and are scraggly looking. This species has been attributed with a range of vocalizations. Among these recorded have included hissing sounds and a rattling kutook, repeatedly rapidly about seven times. Also recorded has been a ringing, loud pof-pof-pof and a high, hawk-like hie-e-e-e-e-keek series of notes. The buffy fish owl is rather noisy before breeding and pairs may engage in bouts of duetting for several minutes at a time.
Compared to eagle owls of similar length, fish owls tend to be even shorter in tail length and even heavier in build, have relatively larger wings (the tawny and Blakiston's being particularly chunky in shape), have considerably longer legs, and have a rough texture to the bottom of their toes. At least the latter two features are clear adaptations to aid these owls in capturing fish. Diurnal raptors who feed largely on fish have similar, if not identical, rough texture under their toes, which helps these birds grasp slippery fish. Unlike diurnal raptors who capture fish such as the osprey (Pandion haliaetus) as compared to most terrestrial raptors, the fish owls have large, powerful, and curved talons and a longitudinal sharp keel sitting under the middle claw with all having sharp cutting edges that are very much like those of eagle owls. Also, unlike fish-eating diurnal raptors will not submerge any part of their body while hunting, preferring only to put their feet into the water, although fish owls will hunt on foot, wading into the shallows. Unlike most owls, the feathers of fish owls are not soft to the touch and they lack the comb and hair-like fringes to the primaries, which allow other owls to fly silently in order to ambush their prey. Due to the lack of these feather-specializations, fish owl wing beats make sounds. The lack of a deep facial disc in fish owls is another indication of the unimportance of sound relative to vision in these owls, as facial disc depth (as well as inner ear size) are directly related to how important sound is to an owl's hunting behavior. Also different from most any other kind of owl, the bill is placed on the face between the eyes rather below it, which is said to impart this fish owl with a "remarkably morose and sinister expression". Similar adaptations, such as unwillingness to submerge beyond their legs and lack of sound-muffling feathers are also seen in the African fishing owls, which do not seem to be directly related. Due to their neat replacement of each other in range, at one time the tawny and buffy fish owls were considered the same species but there are a number of physical, anatomical, habitat and behavioral distinctions between them.
Ecology and behavior
During the daytime, these owls shelter, often singly, in quite dark places, such as densely foliaged trees. Buffy fish owls are easily disturbed, quite the opposite of the highly stoic tawny fish owl, often being wide-awake before being spotted by a human observer. The largest part of its diet appears to consist of fish, crabs and frogs followed by reptiles, toads and crayfish. Their diet is not extensively studied but appears to be basically the same as those of the brown and tawny fish owls. Rats, mice and large insects are also sometimes taken and even bats have been captured by this species. A small handful of prey has been identified to genera or species in Java: goldfish (Carassius auratus), the gold-ringed cat snake (Boiga dendrophila), puff-faced water snake (Homalopsis buccata), young false gharials (Tomistoma schlegelii), fruit bats (Cynopterus ssp.), centipedes (Scolopendra ssp.), black rats (Rattus rattus) and red junglefowl (Gallus gallus bankiva), some of this prey such as the cat snake and junglefowl being of a fairly large size. Like the brown fish owl but unlike most owls, this species has been recorded consuming carrion, including the remains of a crocodile and a Sunda stink badger (Mydaus javanensis). The buffy fish owl does not produce firm pellets as do most owls. Instead bones and frog and insect remains are ejected in pieces and fall to the ground below roost. Prey remains have only been found within the nest, never around or below the nest as is commonly recorded in other owls. The buffy fish owl hunts mainly from the bank, swooping down much in the manner of a fish eagle but never getting its feathers wet. It also walks into shawllow streams and brooks, additionally snatching their main foods in such locations.
Eggs have mainly been found in February through April, less commonly into May through July, as in western Java, and even in September through January in the Malay Peninsula. The buffy fish owl frequently nest on top of a large fern (Asplenium nidus), but nests have also been recorded in the fork a tall bough covered in ferns and moss, on orchid beds and in tree holes. More rarely, rocky sites have been used as nesting sites, even behind waterfalls. The nest is usually merely a scrap into the surface of a fern with no structure or lining, as owls do not build nests. Abandoned bird nests built by other species have been used, including those of Brahminy kites (Haliastur indus). Only one egg has ever been recorded in a buffy fish owl nest, giving them the smallest clutch size of any owl alongside the spot-bellied eagle owl (B. nipalensis), which has only ever been recorded with a single-egg clutch. The egg is round, oval and dull white. The average dimensions of eggs in western Java was 57.4 mm × 47 mm (2.26 in × 1.85 in). Incubation of the eggs lasts 28-29 days and fledgling occurs after six weeks. This species is generally faring well for a large raptorial bird and has been inadvertently aided by commercial fisheries and ornamental ponds, which they visit by night to hunt. Sometimes, they incure persecution from owners of such ponds for taking stock.

Look at my two index toes and compare them... See how my left one is really swollen and there's some bruising? Well yesterday, I was laying on the couch and had to get up to spit out some flemy stuff that I coughed out of my lungs, because I'm pretty sure I've got the H1N1 virus, anyway.. Everytime I would sit up my head would start throbbing, so I figured if I rolled off the couch and then stood up from there my head wouldn't start throbbing like crazy... But what ended up happening was my left foot hit the floor REALLY HARD and my index toe was what came in contact with the floor first, resulting in A LOT of sudden pain and a popping noise... Its not broken, but it is either sprained or I have a hairline fracture, cause it got really swollen and there's A LOT of bruising... Just wait till you see the next picture I upload. Now I have to limp around everywhere... =(
I welcome advice from anyone who might know about this sort of thing.
