Like most kittens, Athena adores playing, cuddling and making mischief. Like so many kittens, she was born outside and learned quickly that she had to fend for herself. Unfortunately, one spring day she was hit by a car. A kind person found her lying next to some garbage cans in an alley. She was not using her rear legs. She arrived at Tree House in a state of shock, shaking uncontrollably and in a lot of pain. Our veterinarians knew she had sustained serious trauma to the spine. We knew that in order to survive, this little feline would need all the strength she could muster so we named her Athena, after the Greek Goddess of heroic endeavor. Athena bravely endured complicated spinal surgery with and is currently undergoing physical therapy. While she still has not regained the use of her back legs, the surgery allowed her injuries to heal and there is still some hope that she may regain at least some of the movement in her legs. Athena, like many of our other special needs cats, inspires people every day with her bravery and resilience.
Like I said, the plastic is smelly and the color (composition?) is uneven..
See the spot around the knee, that's not a hole. That's solid vinyl (or whatever soft plastic, I have no clue). but there's a funny translucent swirl ..
I found this around the upper arms too, just not as notorious.
She has pin pricks around the knees and ankles.. but I found that in Takara bodies as well, so..

Birmingham’s High Note Night Club closes with killer performance by Stacked Like Pancakes
The High Note is a long time fixture in the Birmingham underground music scene. The club has hosted every genre of music from rap battles, indie concerts, pageants for the LGBTQ community, Hip Hop, Rock-n-Roll and jazz.
Last night the night club hosted its final concert before closing its doors forever. True to the High Note brand, they invited Baltimore based band, Stacked Like Pancakes. Stacked Like Pancakes is currently playing clubs in the southeast before they hit the road as part of the Vans “Warped Tour” in July. In their first tour stop in the Magic City, Birmingham’s favorite entertainment blogger was on hand to catch history in the making.
The 7 piece ensemble brought a mixture of funk, rock-n-roll and a lil bit of pop. It’s truly good old-fashion party music. The band consists of Kellen McKay (lead vocals) x Zach Foote (bass-trombone) x Michael Busch (lead guitar) x Andy Dawson (trombone) x Kevin Goren (drums) and Will Lopez (bass guitar).
Performing their classic hits “Sharks in the Sky” and “Shit- Fuck- Dammit - Dammit,” the group gave a highly engaging concert. The entire night, I kept waiting for chart-topping singers Andre 3000 x Janelle Monae or even Adam Levine to make a surprise cameo appearance to close out the killer night.
The band’s fanbase is steadily growing as concert dates are increasing. For more information about Stacked Like Pancakes, please visit their website stackedlikepancakes.com/

On days like these with rain so heavy, it almost feels like it's the force that brought this cabin down. Well, it is, in a way – decades of dark and wet shadows, rot settling in strong. All the evergreens bend low and bow their heads in reverence to a dream lost long ago. You know me, I love nothing like what's not coming back. If I could have a final surrender, I'd choose it any day over any other. The intrusive forces of weather are always more than equal to getting me out of shelter. All that soaking hiking just to end up where a little of the water is blocked from falling. Stand between the leaks and let the droplets speak their noiseless but melody-free music. Ting, ting, thunk and splatter, a clatter of emotional collisions from the top to my bottomless heart. People keep saying I should, you know I would if I had the means. Wander to every corner of my homeland, if only I could. Riding a cloud on wet roads to arrive where the next storm settles. I'll walk away from my worries on water.

I love the dark hours of my being.
My mind deepens into them.
There I can find, as in old letters,
the days of my life, already lived,
and held like a legend, and understood.
Then the knowing comes: I can open
to another life that's wide and timeless.
So I am sometimes like a tree
rustling over a gravesite
and making real the dream
of the one its living roots embrace:
a dream once lost
among sorrows and songs.

Thank you to everyone who pauses long enough to look at my photo. All comments and Faves are very much appreciated
Arthritis only appears like a small ailment to people it hasn't touched, and it may touch anyone at every age. The problem damages bones and results in almost unbearable pain in joints, which makes it hard to perform even simplest tasks.
Attempt to perform some swimming for those who have arthritis. Exercising underwater is a terrific way to stretch muscles and joints, and finding yourself in tepid to warm water also soothes aching joints. In the event you can't swim, why not enroll in a class?
Aromatherapy is yet another weapon which can be used within your combat against arthritis. Research on aromatherapy has proven that it could benefit and relax muscles and joints within your body, which could consequently ease stiffness, pain as well as other discomforts from arthritis or any other conditions.
Learn what arthritis symptoms are most typical and keep an eye out on their behalf. Within the earliest stages from the condition, a good thing you may do on your own would be to recognize onset. Ask your physician about any feelings you might have regarding your health to discover if arthritis actually is the condition you face and the way to address it effectively.
Ask your physician to check on for nutritional deficiencies regularly. In the event you aren't getting enough nutrients like vitamin b complex-12 or iron, you will see a larger arthritic reaction. Getting these levels checked is able to reduce painful inflammation when they are at good levels.
You are able to cope with chronic arthritis through meditation or yoga practice. These techniques of relaxation assist the body to unwind, which reduces among the arthritis symptoms. To find the best results, practice these techniques a minimum of 3 days every week.
Visits towards the sauna can be very beneficial should you suffer from chronic arthritis. Heat and humidity, like this present in a sauna, works well at reducing pain and inflammation brought on by your problem. However, with this to operate you have to make regular visits.
By putting these details into action, you can still live an ordinary, active life with arthritis. Don't let arthritis provide you with down physically or emotionally. You are able to give a number of things a shot and obtain control over the discomfort. You are able to overcome it, just remain positive. defenseantiinflammatory.com/
Does it ever feel like you have too much camera gear but not the right kind? I have been using this Benbo GX35 for a couple of years doing my tabletop photography for my heavier GFX 100S. Crazy design on the Benbo, you cannot do a perfect 90º angle because of a tightening knob???WTF??? Then, despite how robust the Benbo felt it creeped like a creeper! So, I finally had enough and was skerred to go on YouTube but thankfully I found a couple of vids where photographers talked about the Innorel N44 and it is avail on Amazon for $99!! Man, this is very well machined and it had NO PROBLEM with the weight of my MF body and lens. AND, no problem whatsoever doing a simple 90º angle. Can I get an AMEN? 🏆
Like in the military, days begin early on tiger tours.
Our flight was at five to seven, therefore to get up, meet up, travel to the (correct) terminal, check in, go through security, find the gate and board before quarter past seven, we had meet in the lobby at four, and up an hour earlier.
Which we managed.
We climbed on the bus with our luggage, drive 15 minutes to the wrong terminal and five more to the right one, then find which of the shiny new desks we had to check in at. And all before the first coffee of the day!
We got in line and handed over our bags, one by one, then made our way to security, where India has its own strict rules.
That took another half hour, then a ten minute walk to the gate, which had just started to board.
I grabbed a Coke to sup, to heal ease my achey back and legs, though in truth I was doing OK.
We all got on, for the 90 minute flight to Nagpur, through most of it I slept. Which was the best way.
The landing was dramatic and sideways, or felt like it, and if it were a test the pilot would have failed. But we were safe.
We went into the terminal, got our cases, and went outside to arrivals where our fixer was here, and lead us out into the morning sun and heat to a fleet of landcruisers to take us to our lodges outside the reserve.
Nagpur seemed a small city, though has a metro, and also has the usual mix of houses, rich and poor to barely standing.
Then out into the countryside, where the harvest had just been gathered, and the land is being ploughed, though some fields of cotton were still standing.
The journey had less horn tooting, but to make it more interesting, short stretches of motorway ended at towns, where there were junctions with no give way lines, no obvious priority, so was a tootin free for all.
Someone left their wallet at the service station: the call came over the drivers’ mobiles. It was Jools’s.
So we had to turn round and go back five miles to meet the manager, who after Jools described it, returned it, and took no reward.
That act saved our holiday.
Suddenly we turned off, down an Indian six foot sixer, which I can tell you is a scary thing. Across farmland, bridges barely standing, and dirt-poor villages whose inhabitants hardly marked our passing.
Passing traffic did so by playing a game of chicken as to who would drive off the pavement. It made for an interesting drive.
And then we swung off the road, though a gate and into a collection of buildings: our lodges.
We were met by the owner, made to feel welcome, then offered dinner. More buffet curry.
And then onto the main event, or the first of 17 main events, as that’s how many safaris there is going to be.
A fleet of converted jeeps arrives, with two rows of elevated seating behind the driver: Jools and I get in, and a guide gets in behind us.
We drive at breakneck speed, through a sometimes quiet village, to the gates of Tadoba National Park, where our credentials had been presented, and one of the limited slots given to us.
Our passports checked, we enter the park.
It is jungle, but not as we think of it. Dryer, but primitive, with access roads to parts, but others eft alone so not to disturb all the 91 tigers that live here.
We see two species of deer: barking and spotted, as well as birds. Though those you mostly hear.
It is blindingly hot, and with the heat and bouncing around on red dusty tracks, Jools soo felt ill, but soldiered on, as there was little choice.
We came across a troop of monkeys, who looked at us with the distain we deserved. I took shots.
We then joined about a dozen other vehicles at a watering hole, as this is where the tigers and cubs came to drink,
Most animals come here to drink.
A pack of wild dogs arrived, but were soon alarmed, a deer was barking out warnings that became more frequent, until a majestic male tiger was seen through the undergrowth.
Even tigers need a drink.
He came along a bank and out of the grass, right in front of me, paused, then walked on paw at a time into the water, and out the other side to see what the wild dog was barking about.
The dog yelped, and the tiger made two or three quick paces, and the dog fled, so the tiger relaxed. But clearly wasn’t happy with the fleet of jeeps and cameras recording his every move.
In time he crossed the road and went into the dense vegetation, so after a few minutes, we made to move off.
The back of a tiger’s ears look like huge eyes, and our guide spotted him laying down, so we stopped.
The tiger yawned, then got up and walked back to the pond before slowly moving off.
Most other jeeps moved off, but we stayed, as our guide had heard more warnings by the deers.
And sure enough, a lone female appeared, walked over the track and along the edge of the pond nearest us. She laid down, yawned, and surveyed her options.
The walked on, then backed into the water and lay down, taking the edge off the day’s heat.
We moved off. In truth the weather had changed No longer forty degrees and hot with it, clouds were building, and flashes of lightning were seen. A keen breeze appeared, knocking dried leaves from the trees above the track as we sped back to the entrance falling on us like snow.
Dust devils danced in front of us, and we thought we would get soaked.
The journey back took over an hour, with the weather getting worse minute by minute, but staying dry.
We reached the gate, dropped off our park guide who hadn’t guided us at all, and we sped back through the village to the camp.
WE all went back to our cabins for showers, and even after a good soaking, the white towels showed large amounts of orange dust still came out of our hair and pores.
Tired, but happy, we met at eight for supper of, you guessed it, buffet curry and salad. And beer.

The Bengal tiger is a population of the Panthera tigris tigris subspecies and the nominate tiger subspecies. It ranks among the largest wild cats alive today. It is estimated to have been present in the Indian subcontinent since the Late Pleistocene for about 12,000 to 16,500 years. Its historical range covered the Indus River valley until the early 19th century, almost all of India, western Pakistan, southern Nepal, Bangladesh, Bhutan and southwestern China. Today, it inhabits India, Bangladesh, Nepal, Bhutan, and southwestern China. It is threatened by poaching, habitat loss and habitat fragmentation.
As of 2022, the Bengal tiger population was estimated at 3,167–3,682 individuals in India, 316–355 individuals in Nepal, 131 individuals in Bhutan and around 114 individuals in Bangladesh.
Felis tigris was the scientific name used by Carl Linnaeus in 1758 for the tiger.[1] It was subordinated to the genus Panthera by Reginald Innes Pocock in 1929. Bengal is the traditional type locality of the species and the nominate subspecies Panthera tigris tigris.[2]
The validity of several tiger subspecies in continental Asia was questioned in 1999. Morphologically, tigers from different regions vary little, and gene flow between populations in those regions is considered to have been possible during the Pleistocene. Therefore, it was proposed to recognise only two subspecies as valid, namely P. t. tigris in mainland Asia, and P. t. sondaica in the Greater Sunda Islands and possibly in Sundaland.[3] The nominate subspecies P. t. tigris constitutes two clades: the northern clade comprises the Siberian and Caspian tiger populations, and the southern clade all remaining continental tiger populations.[4] The extinct and living tiger populations in continental Asia have been subsumed to P. t. tigris since the revision of felid taxonomy in 2017.
The Bengal tiger's coat is yellow to light orange, with stripes ranging from dark brown to black; the belly and the interior parts of the limbs are white, and the tail is orange with black rings. The white tiger is a recessive mutant, which is reported in the wild from time to time in Assam, Bengal, Bihar and especially in the former State of Rewa. However, it is not an occurrence of albinism. In fact, there is only one fully authenticated case of a true albino tiger, and none of black tigers, with the possible exception of one dead specimen examined in Chittagong in 1846.[9] Fourteen Bengal tiger skins in the collection of the Natural History Museum, London have 21–29 stripes.[3] Another recessive mutant is the golden tiger that has a pale golden fur with red-brown stripes.[10] The mutants are very rare in nature.[11]
The greatest skull length of a tiger is 351 mm (13.8 in) in males and 293 mm (11.5 in) in females.[12] It has exceptionally stout teeth. Its canines are 7.5 to 10 cm (3.0 to 3.9 in) long and thus the longest among all cats.[
The Bengal tiger ranks among the biggest wild cats alive today.[14] Males and female Bengal tigers in Panna Tiger Reserve reach a head-to-body length of 183–211 cm (72–83 in) and 164–193 cm (65–76 in) respectively, including a tail about 85–110 cm (33–43 in) long. Total length ranges from 283 to 311 cm (111 to 122 in) for male tigers and 255–285 cm (100–112 in) for female tigers.[15] They typically range from 90–110 cm (35–43 in) in shoulder height.
In the 20th century, Indian censuses of wild tigers relied on the individual identification of footprints known as pug marks – a method that has been criticised as deficient and inaccurate. Camera traps are now being used in many sites.[35]
Good tiger habitats in subtropical and temperate forests include the Tiger Conservation Units (TCUs) Manas-Namdapha. TCUs in tropical dry forest include Hazaribag Wildlife Sanctuary, Nagarjunsagar-Srisailam Tiger Reserve, Kanha-Indravati corridor, Orissa dry forests, Panna National Park, Melghat Tiger Reserve and Ratapani Tiger Reserve. The TCUs in tropical moist deciduous forest are probably some of the most productive habitats for tigers and their prey, and include Kaziranga-Meghalaya, Kanha-Pench, Simlipal and Indravati Tiger Reserves. The TCUs in tropical moist evergreen forests represent the less common tiger habitats, being largely limited to the upland areas and wetter parts of the Western Ghats, and include the tiger reserves of Periyar, Kalakad-Mundathurai, Bandipur and Parambikulam Wildlife Sanctuary.
It went something like this:
Me: Trust your instincts!
Me: Use the Force.... Let go, Luke!
Nikolai: You just want me to let go.
Me: No seriously; let go!
Nikolai: Never!
Me: Gimme back my g'damn safety lightstick, ya feathered Sith!
Nikolai: Crunch! Nom nom!
Me: Ok, now you will feel the power of this fully operational squirt-bottle!
Nikolai: Squawk! Here's your stupid lightstick back - I only wanted this tasty
rubber on/off switch anyway.
Me: Hey! Where's the power button?!
Nikolai: Huh? Oh *this* tasty power button? Here - Ptui!
Me: Sigh...
I can't really describe the hilarity of swordfighting with a smart, competitive parrot
with birdlike reflexes. Mostly he just liked bumping them together for the sound it makes. Then he found the tasty little power button...
I like the original "City Strike" version much better. He has a better paint app on his face, the tattoo, the darker pants, the gray visor, the backpack. The list goes on and on ...
Nothing like seeing a sky with more then one color. Taken in Bluff Park near Belmont shore, HDR using 3 images at different shutter speeds.
