Chandler Parker's Mortar design, saw the shell idea elsewhere, unfortunately I do not remember where.
Both Anna and Elsa are now fully deboxed. They are posed standing side by side, supported by the included doll stands. Their skirts are in the 'normal' closed position.
Review of Anna
Anna is in her coronation gown, with a velvet black bodice and green skirt. The bodice is form fitting, with multicolored embroidery and jewels, with a dark green satin shoulder straps. Her outer skirt is made of panels of yellow green embroidered and jeweled satin alternating with plain dark green satin panels, the pattern repeating ten times. The lighter green panels are tacked together with plastic T-tabs, so we don't see the full extent of the skirt. When the sections are freed, the skirt can expand to a full semicircle. Under the skirt is a full length yellow green satin slip, with a wide lacy hem. Under that is a 3/4 length stiff tulle petticoat. Under that are yellow green satin knee-length bloomers. Finally under that are full length stockings or leggings. Anna is certainly dressed for cold weather. Her legs are wired to the doll stand at the ankles and knees. Her feet are posable, and she is wearing black flats, which is rather disappointing given the gorgeous and unique shoes that Elsa is wearing. She is wearing a necklace, with the pendant stuck to her chest.
Her face is very movie accurate. She has a round face, with huge blue green eyes, long gently curving rooted eyelashes, thin dark brown eyebrows. She has a small pointy nose, thin dark pink lips in a slight smirk, and large round ears. She has orange freckles all over her face, extending down to her neck, shoulders and chest, and even on her upper back. She has a very pale complexion, but her sister Elsa is much, much paler. Her body is the usual LE Princess body, with full articulation in her arms and legs, and an upper torso joint. Her rusty red hair is fashioned into a large bun in the back of her head, with a spiraling braid around a small bun in the middle, out of which comes several thin ponytails, including two very skinny braids, and also several satin ribbons. In front are long curly bangs, and a tight flat braid over it. There is a streak of white hair from her right side, and ending in one of the thin pony tails hanging off the small bun.
Anna is very beautiful and elegant, very much a Disney Princess.
Review of Elsa
Elsa is very elegant and powerful looking in her Snow Queen gown. It consists of a light blue green satin full length dress, and a oversized blue green sheer organza cape, which is permanently sewn to the top of the dress. The dress has rectangular clear crystals covering the bodice, and round clear gems scattered throughout her floor length skirt, iwth a long slit down the front right side. The back of the dress ends in a long circular tail. The dress is fully lined with dark blue satin. The full length sleeves are sheer blue organza decorated with blue jewels, as is the collar. The cape is truly spectacular. It can wrap around the front to hide the skirt, or be extended to the sides and the back. It is circular, and trails a considerable distance behind her. It is double layered sheer blue green organza, with a pearly sheen, and is quite flexible, unlike the the organza cape of the Classic Elsa, which is stiffened by all the glitter glued to the cape. However, it is not as sheer as the Classic Elsa's cape, as it is two layered, as opposed to the single layer organza capes of Classic Elsa, and also Singing Elsa. The cape is covered in embroidered ice and snowflake patterns, with clear round crystals placed as part of the patterns. There is no glitter used anywhere on Elsa's outfit, unlike the Classic and Singing Elsa dolls.
Elsa has unique shoes. They are iridescent blue high heeled shoes with a snowflake design in the front and back. They have a metallic look to them, even though they are plastic. She also bucks the trend of fully articulated legs in the Limited Edition dolls, by having fixed angled feet. She looks much more elegant with fixed feet in the high heels.
Elsa is a very accurate depiction of the movie character. She has a very striking angular face with pronounced cheekbones, and large bright blue eyes that are glancing to her righ. She has an extremely pale complexion with a purplish tint, and a pearly iridescent sheen to her skin, which is similar to that of the organza gown. She has an elfin look to her face, although her ears are normally sized and shaped, and considerably smaller than Anna's. She has a few freckles across her cheeks, and a solitary freckle on her forehead. She has long gently curving rooted eyelashes, elaborate eyeshadow above her eyes, small thin eyelashes below her eyes (and none above). She has dark heavily applied rouge on her cheeks right below her eyes. This gives her a darker, more serious look than the other Elsa dolls, and very different than Anna's cheerful, carefree look. She has thin blood red lips, in a slight smile. Her body has the same articulation as Anna's, except for the lack of ankle joints, and of course her entire body has the same pearly pale blue skin as her face. She has long light blonde hair that is fashioned into a long braided pony tail, and long flat curves over her head. There is a single side curl over her left forehead, and short sideburns. There are three snowflake shaped crystal hair ornaments in her hair.
Elsa is a truly beautiful and unique doll, and represents the Snow Queen character very well, with a confident, dark look, otherworldly features, and a spectacular gown.
Purchase Details
First look at the Harrods special edition of the Disney Store's Limited Edition Anna and Elsa Doll Set. I purchased it through a reseller, as it was only sold at the Harrods London store. It was released on November 1, 2013, in an edition of 100. The retail cost is more than four times that of the separately sold LE Anna and Elsa dolls (which will be released worldwide on November 20, 2013, in an edition size of 2500). My set is #39 of 100, and I received it on November 11, 2013.
They are 17'' fully articulated dolls, with doll stands and certificated of authenticity. Anna is in her coronation gown, Elsa is in her Snow Queen gown. As might be expected, the dolls are considerably different in details than the ''regular'' limited edition dolls. In particular there is considerably more crystals on the outfits, and embroidered snowflakes completely cover the outer gown (cape) of Elsa.
When you push the M-X Switch up to M sync, then the control knob moves down to the 8:30 o'clock position, and a blocking lever rises at the 6 o'clock position to lock the self-timer lever. If the self-timer is already wound, then you will have to waste a shot to run it off, as the blocking lever also will not let you get into M sync while the timer lever is in the way.

This is a photograph from the second running of the newly situated Irish 3/4 Marathon (formerly the Athlone 3/4) which was held in Longwood, Enfield, Co. Meath, Ireland on Sunday 8th of October 2017 at 10:00. The event is positioned perfectly in the calendar as a key training race before the Dublin City Marathon at the end of the month. This year was the second year that the event was held in Longwood, Co. Meath which is now well known for its hosting of the Longwood 10KM/5KM annual races and a host venue for East of Ireland Marathon series marathons on a bi-annual basis. The race started and finished at Longwood GAA club just outside the village of Longwood. It followed an anti-clockwise course around the beautiful picturesque countryside of south Meath. The course went through the townlands of Longwood, Castlerickard, Killyon, Hill-of-Down, Anneville and Ashfield Clonard, Blackshare, Stoneyford and back to Longwood. The river Boyne and Blackwater were crossed as was the Royal Canal and the Dublin-Sligo Railway line at Hill-of-Down. Overall this was a very different course to the previous years in Athlone. The overall elevation of the course works out at 3/4 of the total elevation of the Dublin Marathon course. What most stood out about today's race was the course and how the countryside around it looked on a beautiful almost perfect Autumn morning. There was a large local effort with stewarding and many local people watched from their gardens as the race passed by. The organisation of the race was first class with every detail taken care of from the start until the finish. There was some rain showers from about 13:00 onwards but these soon passed.
There is a large set of photographs from today's race - taken at the start in Longwood village and the 25KM mark outside near our home.
They are available on our Flickr photostream at the following set. www.flickr.com/photos/peterm7/albums/72157687694983023

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!

I find myself in an awkward position. I love using Flickr, but I may stop. I know this a photo exhibition site that people come to for pleasure. When I've posted potentially uncomfortable images from time to time I've felt like I'm upsetting the party somewhat. But as Yahoo are directly involved in this and I have that information, I feel obliged to use the means available to me to pass that information on. Do with it as you choose. Please copy the picture if you'd like to use it to promote the release of Shi Tao in some way.

Chinese journalist, Shi Tao, is serving a 10 year prison sentence for sending an email from his Yahoo! account.
In 2004 Shi Tao sent details of an internal government directive instructing journalists how to handle media coverage of the anniversary of the Tiananmen Square crackdown to a US-based website.
He was charge with "illegally providing state secrets to foreign entities' and sentenced to 10 years' imprisonment. Disturbingly Yahoo! China provided account holder information to the Chinese Government which led to his unjust imprisonment.
Prior to his detention journalist Shi Tao had been working for the Changsha-based magazine Contemporary Trade News and had published numerous essays and political commentaries relating to social problems in China.
In April, 2004, Shi used his Yahoo! account to email a US-based website, sharing the details of an internal government directive instructing journalists how to handle media coverage of the anniversary of the Tiananmen Square crackdown.
Shi Tao was charged with "illegally providing state secrets to foreign entities" and sentenced to 10 years imprisonment. According to the court transcript, evidence that led to the sentencing of Mr. Shi included account-holder information provided by Yahoo! Disturbingly, it has recently come to light that Yahoo! may have also released data which could have contributed to the arrest of another dissident, Li Zhi.
Amnesty International considers Mr. Shi a prisoner of conscience, imprisoned for peacefully exercising his right to freedom of expression and for the legitimate exercise of his right to seek, receive and impart information, as guaranteed in international law and the Chinese Constitution.
Amnesty International believes Shi Tao to be one of several targets of a police crackdown in late 2004 and early 2005. During this period, several rights activists and dissidents were reportedly detained or placed under surveillance in their homes. The reasons for these detentions appeared to be to prevent them from engaging in public activities deemed politically sensitive by the authorities in preparation for the 15th anniversary of the Tiananmen Square crackdown.
Donna the WWII Stuart M-5 tank sits in her position at the back of the Memorial Park lot, next to an alley and looking out towards North First St in DeKalb IL.
Donna the tank at Memorial Park at the northeast corner of Lincoln Hwy and First St in DeKalb, Illinois. The tank is a Stuart M5 Light Tank. It is my understanding that this particular tank never saw any actual combat service during WW II. However it might be more accurate to say that, it is not known if this tank saw any service during WWII. Apparently Donna's previous history before her arrival in DeKalb was lost or never given.
Donna arrived in DeKalb in Jan 1949 and was soon placed and dedicated in a prominent location in downtown DeKalb at the corner of Lincoln Hwy and Fourth St, and also near the Chicago & North Western railroad tracks. I recall seeing her there many times as a boy when we visited our DeKalb relatives and I can tell you she made quite an impression in that location.
Before Donna, a captured German WW I cannon and a large honor roll sign sat in the same location but when WW II came along, the cannon was donated as scrap for the war effort. Nobody seems to know what happened to the honor roll sign.
The original location turned out to be problematic for Donna over the years. On August 4, 1961, a train derailment bumped Donna off her cement pad. A few train cars were strewn about the street but Donna was largely unscathed. When I learned this a year ago or so I was fascinated.
In latter years, when the local military officials held their annual service at the location near the busy intersection and railroad tracks, they were frustrated with the train horn and bells and they claimed it was difficult to safely conduct these events, hence Donna was moved here to Memorial Park on May 18, 2002.
I understand their reasoning but I can tell you that for many of us who remember her in the original location, its obviously not the same. You couldnt miss her at 4th & Lincoln but today she has been delegated to the back of a lot where she's seen mostly by those who already know shes there.
Information from the Joiner History Room in Sycamore IL: "Donna came from the Watervliet Arsenal in Watervliet, New York in January of 1949. There is no mention of her name in the news coverage at the time she arrived or anything about her other than where she came from.
There is a 2002 DeKalb Chronicle article that says “Donna, which apparently got its name from the girlfriend of the tank commander who operated it early in WWII…” Donna was repainted in January of 1949 when she arrived."
