"Panic attacks are sudden, discrete periods of intense anxiety, mounting physiological arousal, fear, stomach problems and discomfort that are associated with a variety of somatic and cognitive symptoms.
The onset of these episodes is typically abrupt, and may have no obvious triggers. Although these episodes may appear random, they are a subset of an evolutionary response commonly referred to as fight or flight that occur out of context.
This response floods the body with hormones, particularly epinephrine (adrenaline), that aid in defending itself from harm.
Experiencing a panic attack is said to be one of the most intensely frightening, upsetting and uncomfortable experiences of a person's life."

Elsie is a fierce little huntress, her quarry didn't stand a chance - she snapped it like a twig :) Actually, Elsie isn't a very proficient or enthusiastic killer of anything much (which is absolutely fine by me - especially as I have a pet hamster!). She quite often seems to frighten herself, even when playing with inoffensive toys - like string, or scrunched up paper. She'll do the lying in wait part, eyes big as saucers, wiggling her back end in excitement, next she pounces on her "prey" and then... she runs away from it very fast and has a mad five minutes zooming up and down the stairs, or racing around the garden. I was quite surprised she stuck around to dispatch this twig - she really did snap it half! Anything for a photo :)
Given how wimpy she can be around small stuff - live or otherwise - you might think Elsie was a push-over of a cat. She's not though, far from it! Elsie is an attacker of human feet (mostly in the middle of the night). She is guardian of the stairs (walk carefully by her, or she'll smack even the biggest human!) She stares down our large chickens without fear. She makes Barney cower in fear and human children flinch from just her gaze!
We had a terrier, Wally, who's a committed cat-chaser visit last year. I shut Elsie in the garden, locking her cat flap. Wally raced through the house and started yapping through the clear door. Slowly, the yapping died down... I peeped out, Elsie was sitting just on the other side, glaring in, growling like a motorbike. She obviously had NO intention of backing down. Wally went from enthusiastic hunter to cowed in the space of a few moments - she made a hasty retreat, Elsie wandered off to go sun herself! No-one can mess with Elsie (unless, it seems, maybe if you're mouse-sized).
The title here comes from a phone conversation I had, when I called the company Barney-dog is insured with, to get Elsie covered too. I told the lady on the phone Elsie was a cat, her age etc. Then she apologised and said she had a requirement to ask me: Was my CAT used for racing... or trained to attack? Errr... NO!! So silly but it did give me a good laugh, plus, racing cats could be pretty fun and trained attack cats? I guess they'd be scary - when they weren't asleep!!

by the giant palm frond!
There are two huge palm trees across the street. They are perhaps 80 or 100 feet tall. They tower well above the telephone poles. When the wind blows they drop these fronds all over the neighborhood.
Nikon D4 | ISO 2000 | 70-200mm lens at 125mm | f / 2.8 | 1/1600 second. I have taken to sitting behind the west goal at Sporting Park to the right of the just within the box and waiting for the action to come to me. When it does, I don't need a super long lens and I can see right into the faces of the athletes. It was wicked hot and humid last night for the Colorado Rapids v. Sporting KC match and I found a lot of action right in front of me. The only problems was wiping the sweat out of the view finder so I could see.
It stopped raining finally and I saw some really pretty clouds moving across the sky outside. So I grabbed a Digital Camera and started out to snap a few quick shots..when WHAM!!! I was slammed to the ground. I couldn't see a thing and was pinned down.
Fortunately my lovely wife Judy came to my rescue and pulled the attackers off me....after laughing hysterically and shooting fifty or sixty photos of course.

Following an unprecedented series of shark attacks off Australian beaches, the need to find practical solutions is intensifying.
Aerial drones could be an important tool for reducing risk of shark attacks on our beaches within the coming years. Here’s how it would work. Drones would fly...
Austin bridge bats hover over a kayak-er....spooky! I took this photo on 1600 ISO on my Nikon D70s and it's really grainey - given that I only had a built-in flash and I was perched over the Austin bridge.
In the year 858 AD the Vikings, with a fleet of more than 60 ships commanded by Hastings and Björn Jaernside, son of the legendary Ragnar Lodbrog, went around the Iberian peninsula, reached the village of Orihuela in eastern Spain and conquered its castle. At that historical moment most of the peninsula was dominated by Muslims who saw with disbelief the arrival of these northern warriors.
Based on this historical moment The Brickstons along with several friends of the LUG ALE built this diorama of the Vikings reaching a village in the south-east of Spain. The diorama was presented at the ALEBricks event held on June 2nd and 3rd, 2018.
The Brickstons Group: Alfonso Abeger (FonsoSac), Pepi Blas, Julio César Cedena, Domingo Hidalgo, Luis López, Emiliano Martínez (Legófito), Victor Martínez (Loko / Nouvilas) and their friends: César Ivan Acero, Luismi Bartolomé, Juan Manuel Boillos, Antonio J. Fernández (Lord Jerome), David Horcajada y David Valderrama have taken part in the diorama.

En el año 858 d.C. los vikingos con una flota de más de 60 barcos al mando de Hastings y Björn Jaernside, hijo del legendario Ragnar Lodbrog, rodearon la península Ibérica, llegaron hasta la población de Orihuela en el este de España y tomaron su castillo. En ese momento histórico la mayor parte de la península estaba dominada por los musulmanes que veían con incredulidad la llegada de estos guerreros del norte.
Basándose este momento histórico Los Brickstons junto con varios amigos del LUG ALE construyen este diorama de los vikingos llegando a una población en el sur-este de España. El diorama fue presentado en el evento ALEBricks celebrado los días 2 y 3 de junio de 2018.
En el diorama han participado Los Brickstons: Alfonso Abeger (FonsoSac), Pepi Blas, Julio César Cedena, Domingo Hidalgo, Luis López, Emiliano Martínez (Legófito) y Victor Martínez (Loko / Nouvilas) y sus amigos: César Ivan Acero, Luismi Bartolomé, Juan Manuel Boillos, Antonio J.
