Scale - height difference. 23rd May

Replace 21st May as I replaced my old hair cut with a new one.

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.

 

The 2013 Disney Princess Classic Doll Collection, released on June 10, 2013. They consist of 11-12'' articulated dolls of the 11 official Disney Princesses, from Snow White to Merida, as well as Princes, Villains and Sidekicks. I now have all 11 Princesses, Queen Elinor, Charlotte and Gaston. I will photograph them boxed, during deboxing and fully deboxed. I will also post reviews and comparative photos.

Believe in the Cure Cycling Tour Brings Awareness of Hepatitis B to the East Coast

(An Inspirational Journey for an Inspirational Young Man)

 

DOYLESTOWN, PA (June 2008) – The power of one individual to make a difference cannot be measured in words, but in actions. John Ellis, a 17-year-old from Pensacola, Fla., was diagnosed with hepatitis B in 2006. Instead of being discouraged by this devastating medical diagnosis, John turned the news into an opportunity to raise awareness about hepatitis B. With a passion for cycling and a desire to help raise funds to find a cure for the disease, John contacted the Hepatitis B Foundation (www.hepb.org) with an idea to organize an East Coast cycling tour. Today, John’s idea has become a reality! The Believe in the Cure Cycling Tour, sponsored by the Hepatitis B Foundation, is a 1,100 mile journey beginning on June 2 at John’s high school in Pensacola and ending in Philadelphia on June 23 – John’s 18th birthday!

 

John Ellis is an extraordinary young man. He was a healthy teenager, when the results of a routine blood test revealed that he had hepatitis B. This news came just two weeks before his 16th birthday and John recalls emotions of, “being incredibly scared because I didn’t know what having hepatitis B would mean for me.” His fear was further fueled by his doctor who told him that he would eventually need a liver transplant. John’s world was turned upside down. He was frightened and also confused as to how he could have contracted this potentially fatal disease; he had received the hepatitis B vaccine in middle school.

 

John turned to the Hepatitis B Foundation to learn more about his disease. The Foundation is the only national nonprofit organization solely dedicated to finding a cure and improving the quality of life for those affected with hepatitis B worldwide. Hepatitis B is the most common serious liver infection in the world. It is caused by the hepatitis B virus (HBV) that attacks liver cells and can lead to cirrhosis, liver failure and liver cancer. The virus is transmitted through infected blood. In the U.S., 1 out of 20 persons (or 12 million Americans) have been infected with HBV.

 

Armed with information about hepatitis B and with a conviction to improve his health, John gave up a junk food diet and began exercising. He purchased a $50 bike from a local bike store and started riding it everywhere – to school, to work and just for fun. “I knew I wanted to ride for a cause. People need to become more aware about hepatitis B and how it affects us,” said John.

 

John has shown us courage in the truest sense of the word. He is approaching his chronic hepatitis B diagnosis with a positive attitude and embarking on this cycling tour to prove to himself that he can overcome obstacles placed in his path. Knowing that there is no cure for hepatitis B does not dampen his spirits. “If I believe in my heart that things will work out for the best, then who’s to say I’m not cured,” said John.

 

Sponsors of the Cycling Tour include NutriSystem, CP Commercial Printing, Monster Graphics, Bikes Plus (Pensacola, Fla.), Fox Rothschild LLP, High Swartz LLP, Newman’s Own Organic, Clif Bars, and Enterprise Rent-A-Car.

The progress Rob made in just this afternoon and evening.

 

Seriously, it's a world of difference. We removed the bookcase and it's in our living, awaiting a decision from me on whether to sell it or store it (with the idea that I will later sand and paint it). We sold the tube TV and the flimsy stand is in the garage, either to be sold or donated. Today we bought a shelving system that fit inside this office's closet (on the not pictured left wall) and he sorted all of his stuff. There's still some stuff on the bed to be sorted, plus bedding that will be going on the bed once that's possible.

 

Then...supposedly, this week, the sofa bed is arriving. I'm a little nervous about getting it down the hallway and into the room, but once it's there, we both feel pretty good about it fitting. It will go on the wall where Rob's desk currently resides, and it will be flanked on either side by the media center bookcases that are currently in my office. The filing cabinet (also in my office right now) will probably go right next to the window, while Rob's desk will face the doorway, sticking out from the right wall that the bed is currently against. Then, in front of Rob's desk but flush against the wall, we will be putting some sort of television stand/storage solution. We never use the TV in our bedroom, so it will be making its way in here.

 

Fun times! The hope is to have this room basically sorted out in less than two weeks, when our baby shower is happening. That way, this can be another functional space for people to congregate.

 

I would love to get some curtains up before then, but that might be aiming too high. It would also be great to hang some art that I gifted Rob with a couple years ago that have been gathering dust in a corner. The room will be painting someday as well, but certainly not anytime soon.

 

Hooray! This is mostly Rob's project. As for me, I'm in the middle of hanging pictures in the nursery, and I need to paint the mirror that will go over the crib. I have a bunch of stuff on Craigslist and eBay that I need to deal with selling and getting out. Of. This. House. My last house project will probably be dealing with the odds and ends piled high on my office's desk and bookcases. I also really want to finish my 2010 photo album and have the printed photos sitting right here, but I feel like I should do the more physically demanding projects while I have some energy.

 

Progress. Hooray!

The world is broken;

Halos fail to glisten;

You try to make a difference;

But no one wants to listen.

This is a photograph from the 13th annual running of the Tom Brennan Memorial 5KM Road Race and Fun Run which was held on Furze Road, Phoenix Park, Chapelizod, Dublin, Ireland on New Year's Day Monday 1st January 2018 at 12:00. The race route is a two loop course which starts and finishes on the Furze Road in the middle of the Phoenix Park. Participants follow a clockwise, right-handed, looped route around Furze Road, Ordnance Survey and Chesterfield Avenue. The loop course is also another difference of this race from traditional 5KM road racing. The weather on New Year's Day in the Phoenix Park is always unpredictable and today was no different. A particularly strong headwind into the faces of participants along Furze road (between 2KM and 3KM) made this particular section tough going for everyone. There was also a particularly cold icy feel in the air. However several hundred runners, joggers and walkers shook off the effects of Christmas celebrations to take part. The route itself is flat without any noticeable undulations. This year's race had one of the biggest field of participants in its long and well established history.

  

The race is organised and promoted by the local athletics club Liffey Valley Athletic Club who are based in Islandbridge, Dublin 8 and have a catchment area around this part of Dublin city. The race itself commemorates the memory and contribution of former club member Tom Brennan who won the National Cross Country Championships in 1975 in UCD Belfield at the age of 24 years. A special commemorative perpetual trophy is presented to the winner of the race every year. The race is also of particular interest to those runners, joggers and walkers who are not necessarily involved in the competitive side of road racing. Annually the race is the first of a series of races in Dublin city which make up the Lord Mayor’s 5 Alive Challenge. This initiative by Dublin City Council is now in its sixth year and several hundred runners, joggers and walkers volunteer to take part in five of Dublin’s most popular road races. Dublin City Council makes an open call for people to register to be a part of the programme in autumn every year. The Liffey Valley Club and many other volunteers work hard to make this a very successful event. Undertaking a road race event in any location is a challenging task. However the Phoenix Park presents a unique challenge in terms of traffic flow around this part of Dublin and general logistics. Despite this these efforst by the host club are greatly appreciated as is evident by the turn out every year. It provides a splendid opening of the New Year for runners of all abilities. It is also a fitting 'official' start to the new calendar year of road racing in the Dublin and North Leinster region.

 

This photograph is part of a large set of photographs which was taken at the race. The complete set is available on our Flickr page at [https://www.flickr.com/photos/peterm7/albums/72157667970479679]

Let's get a bit technical: We use Creative Commons Licensing for these photographs

We use the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License for all our photographs here in this photograph set. What does this mean in reality?

The explaination is very simple.

Attribution- anyone using our photographs gives us an appropriate credit for it. This ensures that people aren't taking our photographs and passing them off as their own. This usually just mean putting a link to our photographs somewhere on your website, blog, or Facebook where other people can see it.

Above all what Creative Commons aims to do is to encourage creative sharing. See some examples of Creative Commons photographs on Flickr: www.flickr.com/creativecommons/

 

I ran in the race - but my photograph doesn't appear here in your Flickr set! What gives?

 

As mentioned above we take these photographs as a hobby and as a voluntary contribution to the running community in Ireland. Very often we have actually ran in the same race and then switched to photographer mode after we finished the race. Consequently, we feel that we have no obligations to capture a photograph of every participant in the race. However, we do try our very best to capture as many participants as possible. But this is sometimes not possible for a variety of reasons:

 

     ►You were hidden behind another participant as you passed our camera

     ►Weather or lighting conditions meant that we had some photographs with blurry content which we did not upload to our Flickr set

     ►There were too many people - some races attract thousands of participants and as amateur photographs we cannot hope to capture photographs of everyone

     ►We simply missed you - sorry about that - we did our best!

  

You can email us petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com to enquire if we have a photograph of you which didn't make the final Flickr selection for the race. But we cannot promise that there will be photograph there. As alternatives we advise you to contact the race organisers to enquire if there were (1) other photographs taking photographs at the race event or if (2) there were professional commercial sports photographers taking photographs which might have some photographs of you available for purchase. You might find some links for further information above.

 

Don't like your photograph here?

That's OK! We understand!

 

If, for any reason, you are not happy or comfortable with your picture appearing here in this photoset on Flickr then please email us at petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com and we will remove it as soon as possible. We give careful consideration to each photograph before uploading.

 

I want to tell people about these great photographs!

Great! Thank you! The best link to spread the word around is probably http://www.flickr.com/peterm7/sets

The difference between O. phryganae and O. lutea is slight, and so I think I have this right. The edging to the lip on O. phyganae is wider and more yellow, or so says my notes written at the time.

 

---------------------------------------------

 

O. phryganae is one of 10 members of the O. lutea group and was first described from Crete in 1991. Its name refers to the plant phrygana which gives its name to a habitat type, particularly in Greece (in France it is more familiarly known as garigue).

 

Although widespread through the central and eastern Mediterranean this species is not generally found in the huge numbers that can be the case with O. sicula and O. lutea. The fact that it can grow individually or in smaller groups and often amongst large colonies of its commoner brethren probably accounts in part for its perceived scarcity. In fact we suspect that it is a much overlooked orchid that is probably locally common.

 

Identification is not difficult and there are two important features that differentiate it from its cousins. The first of these is size, which is small, being around half that of O. lutea. The second feature is the flower's profile, which as can be seen from pictures 1 and 4 features two highly prominent basal prominences that produce the appearance of a flexed knee joint. In O. sicula the longtitudinal profile is comparatively flat by comparison.

 

A further characteristic that differentiates it from O. lutea is the angle at which flowers are held relative to the stem. With O. lutea this is usually no more than 45 degrees whereas both O. phryganae and O. sicula hold them almost horizontally and occasionally even beyond this. The photos come from Lesbos, Gargano and Sicily, dating from the end of March to the last week of April.

The Believe in the Cure Cycling Tour Comes to Philadelphia

 

An Inspirational Journey for an Inspirational Young Man

 

The power of one individual to make a difference cannot be measured in words, but in actions. John Ellis, a 17-year-old from Pensacola, Fla., was diagnosed with hepatitis B in 2006. Instead of being discouraged by this devastating medical diagnosis, John turned the news into an opportunity to raise awareness about hepatitis B. With a passion for cycling and a desire to help raise funds to find a cure for the disease, John contacted the Hepatitis B Foundation (www.hepb.org) with an idea to organize an East Coast cycling tour. Today, John’s idea has become a reality! The Believe in the Cure Cycling Tour, sponsored by the Hepatitis B Foundation, is a 1,100 mile journey which began on June 2 at John’s high school in Pensacola and ended in Philadelphia on June 23 – John’s 18th birthday!

 

A group of Hepatitis B Foundation researchers, staff, supporters, friends and family joined John and his riding companion and best friend, Jamaal Warren, for the last leg of their journey from Conshohocken to Kelly Drive in Philadelphia. John and Jamaal were welcomed at their Kelly Drive finish line by the Hepatitis B Foundation; Philadelphia’s Fralinger String Band Mummers; O’Liver, the Hepatitis B Foundation’s mascot; friends and family from Philadelphia and Pensacola and many more. ABC 6’s Health and Medical Reporter, Ali Gorman, served as the event emcee and Councilman Greenlee presented John with a citation from the city of Philadelphia. Dr. Timothy Block, Co-Founder of the Hepatitis B Foundation and Dr. Baruch Blumberg, Nobel laureate who discovered the hepatitis B virus also participated in the event program congratulating John for his extraordinary accomplishments.

 

About John Ellis and the Believe in the Cure Cycling Tour: John Ellis is an extraordinary young man. He was a healthy teenager, when the results of a routine blood test revealed that he had hepatitis B.

Obviously. You would think an F5 would beat out a IIIa any day of the week. But it's not as clear cut as that. For instance, if I'm walking around all day I'd just as soon pick up a rangefinder since I can take 2 cameras and 3 lenses for less weight than an SLR and one lens. For fast action it's the F5 no questions asked. But all that speed and auto-everything comes with a price, namely a tendency to cede control of your photography to a CPU instead of your own head.

Strictly for demonstration purposes. An apparent bug in the latest version of DPP 3.11.10 causes soft images. Shutting off the RAW processing preview corrects for that.

 

This also demonstrates that there is also no difference in sharpness between the two RAW processors when everything has been turned off.

 

The only real difference in all these samples is the 5Dmk3 processed in DPP with High Quality setting turned on.

 

Lastly a comparison is done with sharpening in DPP vs ACR. ACR has been sharpened with a Clarity of +8 and Sharpen of +115. DPP has been set with Sharpen of +10
