Deboxing Moana. The doll and accessories have been removed from the backing. Moana still has various factory restraints on her, and is supported by the included display stand. Then the large plastic support piece behind her is removed.
Here are detailed photos of my Disney Store Limited Edition Moana 17 inch doll, boxed and deboxed. She is #1531 of 6500. I also got a spare Moana that I will leave mint in box, but I haven't looked to see what edition number that doll has.
She has mock sand on her feet, and there is also sand on the base for Pua. Somewhat like glitter, the sand does shed, and found its way on the sides of the box, and on the doll itself. Some of the sand on the tips of her toes also got rubbed off.
Moana has a unique body, but is fully articulated. She has ball jointed neck, shoulders, elbows, wrists, hips, knees and ankles. Instead of the chest joint that are on most of the female Disney Store 17 inch LE dolls, Moana has a waist pivot joint that allows her upper torso to spin around 360 degrees. This is similar to the Designer Princess waist joint, but is lower down her back, just above her butt. That is doubtless due to her bare midriff. With large her flat feet, Moana can free stand very stably. But I think that some of her joints are a little too loose, especially her waist joint.
Her body proportions are also unique for a Disney LE doll, but that is due to those of the animated character herself. In particular, her arms and legs are thicker than the other LE Princess dolls. Rather than the flat hands of the other LE Princess dolls, Moana has curved hands, which I think look more natural. Her face is very pretty and a very good likeness of the animated character. She has thick eyebrows, big brown eyes glancing to her upper right. She has short painted eyelashes, but no rooted eyelashes (like the LE Merida dolls). She has a large flat nose, and full dark brown lips in a closed mouth smile.
She has dark brown wavy hair that has a lot of hair product, so it feels a bit crunchy. Some of her hair was actually stuck to the plastic support, her body and her clothes, due to the hair product not being fully dry when she was assembled. There was also some bits of tissue paper stuck to her hair.
She has a garland of cloth leaves and plastic flowers on her head, It is permanently attached to her head. There are plastic leafy bands around her left arm and both ankles. The arm band was rather loose, and I had to keep on moving it back up her arm. I think it could use a rubber band to keep it tight, which I don't think I accidently cut when deboxing her. Her ankle bands did have rubber bands around them. She has a beaded plastic necklace with a shell pendant that opens. I removed the large rubber band around her upper chest and the plastic support that kept the pendent attached to her top. But I left the rubber bands that kept the upper part of the necklace in place. She has an short satin orange top with white beaded decoration. There is a matching belt or sash around her hips, over her skirt. Her skirt has two woven layers, with a straw underskirt.
Pua is very stable on the sand dune base (and there are indentations in the base to show where to place him). Hei Hei can free stand on Pua's head, but you have to place him very carefully, using the indentations on Pua's head as a guide. He can also be made secure by a rubberband around Pua's head and over Hei Hei's feet.
Moana's oar is placed on her left side in the box, but the way the handle is formed on the oar, it fits most easily on her right hand (to our left when she faces us).

Deboxing Holiday Elsa. The covers are removed, leaving Elsa in clear view, attached to the cardboard backing. Then Elsa is removed from the backing. She is still attached to the display stand, and various plastic supports.
Detailed photos of the Olaf's Frozen Adventure Elsa Limited Edition Doll. I got her from my local Disney Store on release day, Tuesday December 12, 2017, along with Anna. I was the only one waiting for the dolls before the store opened. She is #3818 of 7000.
I like her very much, both her new face and outfit. But she does have a couple of defects. One is that her hair is a bit messy on top, where part of her crown of bangs going the wrong way. The other is that there is a shallow cut on her forehead, that is especially visible when looking straight on in bright lighting. I think of it as a scar from the fight in the ice castle. The nicest thing I've discovered about the doll is that she has dark blue ice heels.
Unlike the comparable dolls Frozen Fever Elsa and Harrods Snow Queen Elsa, OFA Elsa's cape doesn't have any embroidery. The snowflake and icicle patterns are depicted using glued on silver glitter appliques and clear crystals. Her dress does have considerable use of embroidery. I will call her Holiday Elsa since she is in her Christmas outfit.

Design for Water is a special project that evolved from a workshop held at AKTO design and Art College in Thessaloniki, Greece on February 20th - 21st, 2013. The workshop titled "Social Design" was conducted by Michael Thompson otherwise called "Freestylee" and Maria Papaefstathiou. The purpose of this workshop is to help young designers channel their creativity into tools that can impact their community and the wider world in a positive direction. Also, to communicate on how to use poster designs as a vehicle for change. We choose the topic "The Clean Water Crisis" as a platform to build awareness around the subject and to support FACE Africa's effort in Liberia. FACE Africa is an organization working in Liberia to resolve the clean water crisis that is so prominent in that West African country.

Design for Water είναι ένα ειδικό πρόγραμμα που εξελίχθηκε από την ημερίδα που πραγματοποιήθηκε στον ΑΚΤΟ Art & Design College στη Θεσσαλονίκη, στις 20 και 21 Φεβρουαρίου 2013. Η ημερίδα με τίτλο «Social Design" διεξήχθη από τον Michael Thompson γνωστός και ως "Freestylee" και τη Maria Papaefstathiou. Ο σκοπός αυτού του εργαστηρίου είναι να βοηθήσει τους νέους σχεδιαστές να διοχετεύσουν τη δημιουργικότητά τους σε εργαλεία που μπορούν να επηρεάσουν την κοινότητά τους και τον ευρύτερο κόσμο σε μια θετική κατεύθυνση. Επίσης, να μάθουν σχετικά με το πώς να χρησιμοποιήσουν τα σχέδιά τους ως όχημα για την αλλαγή. Επιλέξαμε το θέμα «Η κρίση του καθαρού νερού" ως μια πλατφόρμα για την ευαισθητοποίηση γύρω από το θέμα και να στηρίξουμε την προσπάθεια οικοδόμησης ενός πηγαδιού από τον οργανισμό FACE Africa στη Λιβερία. Ο FaceAfrica είναι ένας οργανισμός που εργάζεται στη Λιβερία για την επίλυση της κρίσης του καθαρού νερού που είναι τόσο εμφανής σε αυτή τη χώρα της Δυτικής Αφρικής. Μέχρι σήμερα έχουν οικοδομήσει 13 πηγάδια σε 13 κοινότητες της Λιβερίας.

This photo also shows why WSDOT has to temporarily close several ramps that lead to and from State Route 7 and I-705 from I-5 to keep drivers safe.

March Past at Portsmouth’s Guildhall for Armed Forces Day. Picture: LA(Phot) Maxine Davies
More than 120 sailors paraded through Portsmouth today (June 27) as part of the Royal Navy’s contribution to Armed Forces Day.
The parade, organised by the City Council, was led by the Portsmouth Royal Marines Band and involved sailors from Portsmouth-based ships and shore establishments in the region.
Troops marched from St John’s Catholic Cathedral to the Guildhall Square via Edinburgh Road, Stanhope Road and Commercial Road.
Sailors from the Fareham training establishment HMS Collingwood formed the parade’s guard of honour and were joined by five platoons comprising personnel from the Naval Base, Fleet Diving Squadron, HMS Edinburgh, Defence College of Policing and Guarding plus medics based at Queen Alexandra Hospital. The Army and RAF were also represented.
In the Guildhall Square Second Sea Lord Vice Admiral David Steel took the salute and inspected the sailors with Portsmouth Naval Base Commander Commodore Jeremy Rigby.

Finally made up my mind to create my own diary for 2012 a week ago, here I go sharing with you all! But first please give me a little support, my Dad recovered from prostate cancer but at the same time developed Parkinson's disease a few years ago. In the past week he has deteriorated a lot, bed bound finally, no more speech, I'm the last person he can recognize. It is so tough for Mom as a care taker. All I ask for is your sincere prayers, as you download this creation, for my Dad and Mom, so that he can go peacefully proud of his sons, and she can start to explore this new world with us. What a courageous woman she is.

Thanks to my Dad's dedication to Chinese painting and art, I had my implicit training early in life and became a visual person yet unafraid to look deep into the subject matters. For years, I bought diaries but none of them satisfied my visual and creative needs.
(www.flickr.com/photos/moleskineart/6335595394/in/photostream)
Since the beginning of the diary making business, every single diary is made by representing time in fixed grids. To challenge this right representation, after exploring in deep thoughts the essence of my own perfect diary, I present to you my Chronodex idea.
Come to think of it, the paper which makes up a diary originated from trees, when the sheets of paper are bound together in the middle, it is almost like foliages stemming from a tree's trunk. Each page is like a branch, each opened page is a week, each day is like a beautiful flower grew from that page, consist of petals of your day's time slices.
You may argue that this format is still slicing time into blocks and far from the fractal nature, but soon as you start using it, you will find that time is no longer right, instead you will find fluidity through free notations.
The more important time slices can be drawn larger, activities can be dots or pies (petals if you will) depending on duration or importance, space on a page is no longer limited to grids. Basically you can roam freely and be amazed how beautiful your week can be.
What's more is that your mind gradually deviate from the rigid format a typical diary imposes on you, reactivity soon flourishes. Imagine the effect happening in weeks! And I'm not kidding.

To grow your own diary, after downloading the PDF version of your choice, print it out double sided (duplex) in landscape mode on A4 papers. Be sure to print it out 100% without scale, left/right binding (try the first few pages on your printer and settings and you'll see what I mean). Check the sequence after the print out.

Next, cut away the left and right portion of the A4 paper according to the cut line.

(www.flickr.com/photos/moleskineart/6364191991/in/photostream)
Now here's the interesting part of the binding. Use a chisel to punch holes on both ends of the spine and stitch the pages up. You can staple them together just the same. This method will get you a bound notebook but ready for a cool bookmark which I will mention in a moment.

To create a bookmark, simple take a piece of hard paper, cut it the way I showed above. Slide it between the papers of the current week, the slide 90 degree up following the spine to have the tab exposed on top of the diary (I hope I'm describing it right). There you go! a bookmark with a tab extruding from the top of your diary.
This cool bookmark invention based on the way you bind your diary is so useful and flexible, you will find it amazing when you reach the 12th week of the year! Tell me about that in a few months.

The last part of my Chronodex journey was to make a cool diary cover. Thanks for my family's tolerance, I had a little free time in broad daylight having fun doing it, 2 cups of coffee, listening to audiobook through my iPhone/Jambox combo.

Small features are infused into the diary, I hope you will enjoy the little tibits, do explore the "Boarding pass to success" idea. If you are interested, I will be sharing the July - December version, which is still in stage zero. Fellow Scription reader Boris from Russia already had a taste of the Chronodex, so go ahead and try yours. Your feedback and comment is what keeps me going, please do pray.

Support the Secret Clubhouse into becoming a Lego Product at the Lego Ideas website. Here's a shortcut:
ideas.lego.com/projects/90da22a0-4b83-4254-9ba1-75c5c384803e
This is the Secret Clubhouse! Hidden behind a rocky mountain lies a place where kids and teens can have fun! A teen brother and his kid sister have built a secret clubhouse where they put interesting things in. So far on the first floor they have a bug collection, a jar on a table surrounded by three seats, and the most valuable of all...a treasure chest! Climbing up the ladder to the second floor, there is a bed that can be pulled up against the wall for extra room, a flashlight, and a cracked egg with a large piece of gold inside! The ladder and top floor can be removed for extra play space.
Back on the ground, they have a camera that they can take videos/photos of nature with. This camera, however, can also be used as a spycam and a security camera when hung on the rack. In the backyard, the kids have planted a tree that is growing quickly. They also have an entrance/exit gate that has a security sensor on the ground to let them know when the door is being opened and closed. When they're not in the clubhouse, the kids can climb up the rocks for enjoyment and to get a better view of the scenery.
