My 2015 Limited Edition Blue Gown Cinderella 17'' doll has been fully deboxed. She is posed standing, supported by the included doll stand.
The box of the Blue Gown Cinderella is the same size as most of the other LE 17'' doll boxes, but has a sightly different design. The front plastic window divided are into three sections, being angled on the left and right of the center section, and the front cardboard lid is shaped the same way. There is a golden ribbon on top of the box to serve as a carrying handle. In the back there is another golden ribbon that is tied into a large bow, which you have to untie to take off the front lid from the rear of the box.
One of Cinderella's glass slippers is attached to the backing, behind and to the right of the doll. It was partially hidden by her hair, so I moved the hair out of the way before taking photos of the doll after the outer lids were removed. The Certificate of Authenticity is taped to the back of the cardboard backing, rather than inserted between the bottom of the backing and the outer box.
I got my Blue Gown Cinderella Limited Edition 17'' Doll today (Friday March 13, 2015) at my local Disney Store. She is #2352 of 4000. She costs $129.95, $10 more than the recently released Frozen LE dolls, and with tax added came out to $140.35.
I got to the store at 6:30 am, and was the only one there until about 8 am, when two more people showed up. At about 9:15 am, a CM gave out line cards to the five people waiting. At store opening at 10 am, there were seven people waiting for the 12 dolls. I had to give up the line card when I purchased the doll.
I will show the doll boxed, during deboxing and fully deboxed.

Same owl in all three photos. Poor quality images, but I am posting them for the record in case I don't see another Snowy Owl this winter.
Posting another five photos from 23 January.
A short drive SE of the city on 23 January 2025 produced two Snowy Owls and a Coyote. Other than those, all I saw were several Black-billed Magpies. Luckily, it was an overcast day, so I wasn't bothered by harsh sun glare.
Driving along one of my regular roads, I spotted a car far in the distance and it looked like it had pulled over. Wondering if it was perhaps a birder/photographer, I slowed right down, stopped, and then very cautiously pulled forward, not wanting to flush an owl if it was being photographed. When I got close enough to the car, I could see a raised camera. When it was lowered, I inched my way forward and I told the driver that I had wondered if he had found an owl and that I didn't want to flush it for him. He said yes, he had found an owl and asked if I hadn't noticed it. Turning my head, sure enough, a beautiful male Snowy was sitting on a distant hill.
From there, I drove a few other back roads to check a spot where I had seen a Snowy Owl some previous years, Couldn't believe my eyes when I saw a white 'blob' perched exactly where I had hoped one would be. Again, too far away for decent photos, but wonderful to see.
Driving a few back roads on my way home, I again saw a car pulled over (turned out to be the same photographer). Sure enough, I saw a very distant owl (male) perched high up on a power pole. Given the location, it could easily have been the same individual that I first photographed, so I'm not counting it as a third Snowy.
Breakfast with the Chief
By Dave Palmer
LOS ANGELES — Society of American Military Engineers posts from Los Angeles, Orange County and the Inland Empire held their 26th annual joint breakfast meeting Jan. 13. The keynote speaker currently serves as the Acting Chief of Engineers and Commanding General for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
Los Angeles District Commander Col. Mark Toy introduced Maj. Gen. Merdith W.B. (Bo) Temple to more than 100 SAME members. He mentioned that, among the general's many accomplishments, he holds the distinction of being the only individual to ever hold all four general officer billets at USACE headquarters. Once a permanent Chief is named, Temple will retire with 37 years-of-service.
For his remarks, Temple took the opportunity to discuss where the Corps and the Army find themselves today and where they are headed.
“As fiscal year 2011 came to an end, the Corps was wrapping up an unprecedented period of construction and project execution,” said Temple. “For example, over the past five years, we provided $12 billion in BRAC-related (Base Realignment and Closure) construction; $7 billion of American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (stimulus) work in both military and civil works programs; and about $14 billion of Gulf Coast recovery work!”
And, 2011 brought roughly three times the disaster declarations of a normal year.
“USACE responded to devastating tornadoes and severe spring storms, as well as hurricanes and tropical storms, under the National Response Framework in support of FEMA,” said Temple. “We are working now with the $1.7 billion appropriated supplement to the Corps’ budget in disaster relief to make emergency repairs before the 2012 flood season is upon us.”
For the future the general discussed the continuing fiscal challenges the Nation faces.
“We are operating in a more complex, less certain, resource-constrained environment which requires a more focused, systems-based approach and more collaboration to develop and deliver safe, quality engineering solutions on time, at or below cost, to our customers, stakeholders and partners.”
Even with fiscal challenges, locally, the District will benefit from Obama administration programs like America’s Great Outdoors and the new Urban Waters Federal Partnership which selected the Los Angeles River Watershed as one of seven pilot locations to enhance existing work like the Los Angeles River Revitalization Master Plan.
“The Los Angeles District is a strong supporter of revitalizing the river, with several on-going studies and potential projects that aim to restore riverside habitat, increase public access to the river and promote recreational opportunities,” said Temple.
Military construction projects also hold great promise for the region.
“South Pacific Division’s FY 12 budget is about $1.2 billion, which is about $200 million more than last year, with two significant MILCON projects at Fort Irwin accounting for most of that increase," said Temple. "Another highlight is that Los Angeles District estimates that they will award more than $200 million to small businesses in FY 12.”

There are two reasons why a person faces the sea.
One, to enjoy a slice of shine in the sea like children bubbling over in the beach.
The other, to brush the dust of memory like an old man who misses old days, staring at the shine
quietly.
Those lead to only one meaning though they do not seem to overlap. It’s a rebirth.
I face myself to change tomorrow, a vague day into something certain.
That is the meaning of a rebirth.
I had a very sweet girlfriend when I was 18.
After she left, I knew the meaning of gentleness for the first time and also a true pain of loss. After
she left, how many times did I depend too much on her, doubt her, envy her and keep on telling lies
until I realized it is love?
I wonder whether a nobody like me could have given something to her who was struggling in the
daily life in those days. Giving something is arrogant conceit. It is nothing but self-satisfaction.
I had been thinking about such a thing.
However, I guess what she saw in me was because I had nothing. That‘s why she tried to see
something in me. Perhaps she found a slight possibility in me, a guy filled with ambiguous, unstable
tomorrow. But I wasted days depending too much on her gentleness.
Now I finally can convey how I felt in those days when we met.

I live in the same area as the Dallas Cowboys practice gym facility in Valley Ranch, so I took these photos after the storm struck today.
* Online News Journalists & Bloggers: you may take and use my pics of the Dallas Cowboys Practice Faciltiy storm damage and all photos in the set, if you will just give me a credit line/copyright statement near my photo which should read: "Photo copyright Silver Smith, 2009" and link my name "Silver Smith" to my website: silvery.com

This is a photograph from the Tullamore Harriers AC "Quinlan Cup" Half Marathon which was held on Saturday 29th August 2015 in Tullamore, Co. Offaly, Ireland at 12:00. This is the third year of the event. The race is organised and promoted by Tullamore Harriers AC. The race starts on the Charleville Road just outside the entrance to Tullamore Harriers. The race proceeds south along the R421 and onto the N52 before taking a route onto local back roads. The race then completes a large rural road route before it joins to the R421 again and the final 1.5 miles are the same as the first mile of the race. The runners enter Tullamore stadium and complete one lap of the tartan track before the finish line. The course is challenging in places with some undulations along the route. But overall it is fair course. 2013 seen the first year of the event as the club commemorated the 60th Anniversary of the formation of Tullamore Harriers AC which today is one of Ireland's best known athletics clubs.
The race was perfectly organised. The weather was good for racing but there was a very strong headwind for the first 6 miles of the race which made the conditions difficult. The weather was dry and warm except for the torrential downpour at around 1:45pm which cleared the whole finish area of spectators and runners. There were stewarts all along the route, 3 drink stations with bottled water, superb facilities, and great after-race refreshments. The stewards along the route provided great encouragement to all of the runners. Tullamore Harriers and the local community really worked together to make this is a wonderful event. There was also a relay option where teams of two can run approximately 10.5km each. In total almost 700 participants took part. This was higher than the 568 participants who completed the race which is almost 150 more than the 2013 event.
We have a large set of photographs from today's race at the start and the finish until the 2-00 finish time. They are available on Flickr at www.flickr.com/photos/peterm7/albums/72157655560294853

As mentioned above this race half marathon started in 2013 and celebrated the 60th Anniversary (a Diamond Anniversary) of the foundation of Tullamore Harriers AC. The club was formed in the town in November 1953. However, it was almost 1979 before facilities close to what we see today open in the present day site. Over 50 provincial and national athletics meetings are held at Tullamore Harriers every year. The facilities available combined with it's central geographical location joining routes from North, South, East, and West make it a very attractive venue. The half marathon today firmly brings competitive national road racing back to "The Harriers". The Quinlan Cup which will be awarded to the winning club team. For more than 40 years the Harriers Quinlan Cup was the most prestigious event on the road racing calendar. Having started as a cross-country race back in 1957, it became a road race in 1967 and remained so until 2000 when the race was last held. During its reign as a blue-ribband event the Quinlan Cup was won by the likes of John Treacy and Eamonn Coughlan.
Today, the facilities at Tullamore Harriers are the envy of many athletics clubs in Ireland. The facilities provided by Tullamore make it one of the premier venues for local and national level athletics in Ireland. There is an Olympic standard tartan track, a fully equipped gym, changing facilities, press and media facilities, meeting room spaces, etc. The club also provides a social center and niteclub which makes "The Harriers" a very well known on the local social scene. Esssentially, the town of Tullamore would be a different place if it weren't for the presence of Tullamore Harriers AC.

I want to download these pictures to my computer or device?
You can download this photographic image here directly to your computer or device. This version is the low resolution web-quality image. How to download will vary slight from device to device and from browser to browser. Have a look for a down-arrow symbol or the link to 'View/Download' all sizes. When you click on either of these you will be presented with the option to download the image. Remember just doing a right-click and "save target as" will not work on Flickr.
I want get full resolution, print-quality, copies of these photographs?
If you just need these photographs for online usage then they can be used directly once you respect their Creative Commons license and provide a link back to our Flickr set if you use them. For offline usage and printing all of the photographs posted here on this Flickr set are available free, at no cost, at full image resolution.
Please email petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com with the links to the photographs you would like to obtain a full resolution copy of. We also ask race organisers, media, etc to ask for permission before use of our images for flyers, posters, etc. We reserve the right to refuse a request.
In summary please remember when requesting photographs from us - If you are using the photographs online all we ask is for you to provide a link back to our Flickr set or Flickr pages. You will find the link above clearly outlined in the description text which accompanies this photograph. Taking these photographs and preparing them for online posting takes a significant effort and time. We are not posting photographs to Flickr for commercial reasons. If you really like what we do please spread the link around your social media, send us an email, leave a comment beside the photographs, send us a Flickr email, etc. If you are using the photographs in newspapers or magazines we ask that you mention where the original photograph came from.
I would like to contribute something for your photograph(s)?

If you feel that the photograph(s) you request are good enough that you would consider paying for their purchase from other photographic providers or in other circumstances we would suggest that you can provide a donation to any of the great charities in Ireland who do work for Cancer Care or Cancer Research in Ireland.
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.
ShareAlike – anyone can use these photographs, and make changes if they like, or incorporate them into a bigger project, but they must make those changes available back to the community under the same terms.
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

I've been shooting a lot of 35mm film recently. In general, I prefer the EOS 3 and still consider it maybe the best 35mm SLR ever made, but the Elan 7 has been seeing more use again these days. The AF sucks, but it's light and hilariously quiet.
Today's weather is much the same as yesterday's weather ~ no change there!!

Thanks to everyone who views this photo, adds a note, leaves a comment and of course BIG thanks to anyone who chooses to favourite my photo .... Thanks to you all.
Same as last shot, but no flash, so you can see Mama Sylvie's eyes better.
Update at 9:30 p.m. I have left the kitties mostly alone but went downstairs to visit and check up on them. Gave Sylvie a bit more to eat and checked that she was nursing them all OK. Socks tries hard to elbow out the other two, so I took him out for awhile so they could have a chance at a good nipple. I also gave them each a little goat's milk with a medicine dropper. Then I put them all back with Mama and they all fell asleep OK together (including Mama). I will get some kitten formula tomorrow. I don't really know if they are all getting enough nourishment this way, but at least I'm sure it's a comfort for the little ones.

Same ad that Lindsay Crawford was woking on at Truth in 1949, save for the word "new". See previous post. From Truth 29 May 1948 via the National Library of Australia.
The Meat Co. arrived in the UK back in 2008, opening inside and at the same time as the then brand-new Westfield, in Shepherdâs Bush (and back when Shepherdâs Bush was a bit more... âedgy' than it is now). Designed by New Yorkâs Jorge Castillo, the interior is various well chosen combinations of wooden and fiery tones, dark shades of crimson, amber and rusty orange - which works for me (but does it work for you?). This atmosphere is surprisingly warm and snug for a restaurant that essentially lives inside one of the largest shopping centres in London. Truly an oasis of food and drink amidst all the clothing retailers.
Whatâs The Meat Coâs shtick then? Steakhouse dining, South African perspective. And this is what makes them memorable in a city already so very full of excellent steakhouses. They donât push the South African thing to its logical/illogical limits, however - so whilst you'll find kangaroo on the menu, you wonât see the likes of zebra, wildebeest or crocodile (yet). You might, however, get a biltong aperitif before dinner (and how great is that?!)
Originally founded in 2000 by one of South Africaâs most prolific restauranteurs, Costa Tomazos, Meat Co went international a long time ago. Youâll find them in various parts of our wonderful planet, including the Middle East and Africa. Which is probably the reason they serve a full Halal menu, alongside their regular menu (diners are asked which theyâd like to pick from, before being seated). This seems to be working for them, as, in my recent trip there I saw quite a few Muslims (and Muslim families) dotted about the place. And whilst I am talking about families, this place is surprisingly family friendly, one of the families next to us brought their (well behaved) toddlers to dinner and as far as I can tell everything went just great for them
Like most London steakhouses, this place can get very pricey indeed. Start eyeing up a chateaubriand (£20 per 100g) or Wagyu (they donât even list how much thatâs going to cost on the menuâ¦itâs at âmarket rateâ), and you could soon see your portion of the bill creeping up into the three figures. However, like most fine-wine-and-carnivore oases dotted about the Big Smoke, this is to be EXPECTED (*sigh*) and by God, if you want to burn the money this is a fucking delicious way to do it. And another thong about that menu, it is pretty huge. If youâre the kind of person that spends 15 minutes plus salivatingover steak and meat selections, that can and probably will happen here. The âsteak tasting menuâ is a good bed for the undecided amongst us.
As for the layout of the place, downstairs you shall find the âPuza Barâ - serving bar food and cocktails (I have yet to drink there so I canât tell you if the cocktails or bar food is any good or not). Enter via a giraffe-skin patterned lift or up a stairwell that takes you past a one storey glass fronted wall of (probably) fine wines and you arrive upstairs - the restaurant area proper. Now, this place is a lot bigger than you might expect, and sure makes an impression. Stretching out in front of you is seating for around 260, an open kitchen, more walls of (again, probably) fine wine, an open fire, and the odd chair that resembles a sofa. Despite the size and openness of this floor, there are plenty of little alcoves, cloisters (can I use that word?) and more secluded spots for those who want a little privacy. Thereâs also a private dining area, hidden behind yet another wall of vino (no photos - it was in use by what looked like a large African family so youâll have to use your imagination as to what it looks like in there). All this fine upholestery and fine wine definitely contributes to what is clearly the atmosphere of a high end steakhouse.
Meat Co. also have a few loyalty schemes, the most interesting is the âPlatinum' (invitation only). Platinum gets you 10% off of your bill indefinitely, your very own steak knife (with your name on it and everything). Another good thing to mention is that The Meat Co supports the Nelson Mandela Childrenâs Fund (UK) - a few of their dishes include a donation to this fund which, in words, "is committed to creating a better future for children in South Africa."
Fuck yeah...
Arrived early @ Fermyn wood this morning, but conditions were not good to see the Purple emperor at their best. Not as many about as reported the w/e & those that were about were not showing the purple very well. Camera has to be exactly @ right angle to the sun & the butterfly. I show 2 photos of the same butterfly, one with a bit of purple showing & the other moved slightly(see the gravel stones for comparison) showing no purple.
As I left parliament hill I saw two men with very big lenses pointing them at east london, not normally a favoured direction. I turned to see what they were snapping, it was the newly risen full moon, and she had a growing number of followers out on the heath, including someone I over heard asking 'is it going to get larger?' and a couple setting up a little camp with candles in jars,
