El Maestro Astilla o Master Splinter (en inglés), es un personaje de ficción procedente de los Comics y la serie de animación estadounidense Tortugas Ninja Hizo su primera aparición en Eastman & Laird: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles No 1 (Mayo de 1984).
Homato Yoshi era el más grande maestro del ninjitsu no solo de su clan (conocido como The Foot) sino de todo el Japón, junto al vivía una pequeña y joven rata llamada Splinter el cual era la mascota de Yoshi. Desde su jaula, Splinter observaba los movimientos de su "maestro" y los imitaba a la perfección.
El constante acoso que sufría Yoshi por parte del líder del clan, Oroku Naga, lo obligo a huir a Estados Unidos (luego de haber matado a Naga) junto a su esposa Tang Shen, otro de los motivos de la rivalidad Yoshi/Naga.
Ya en Estados Unidos Yoshi vuelve de una larga rutina de trabajo solo para encontrar a su esposa muerta, asesinada por la katana del hermano de un hombre que mato años atrás; Oroku Saki (el hombre que a la larga seria conocido en Occidente como Shredder), hermano de Oroku Naga ahora era el líder del clan y estaba enfundado en una armadura samurái; asesina a Yoshi y Splinter huye de Shredder refugiándose en el alcantarillado de Nueva York, subsistiendo de lo que pudiera encontrar para comer.
Pero el destino le sonreiría nuevamente, en un día normal, un invidente trata de cruzar la calle y casi es atropellado por un camión que contenía un recipiente con material radioactivo, a su ves un niño pierde una pecera con cuatro bebes tortugas que cae a la alcantarilla y son bañadas con el liquido radioactivo que también cae al alcantarillado.
Splinter encuentra a las tortugas y las reúne en una lata vieja de café y las pone junto a él en su madriguera. Es a la mañana siguiente que se encuentra con que el liquido que les cayo encima acelero su actividad evolutiva por lo que Splinter ve que las tortugas duplicaron su tamaño original y ,además, el mutageno también le afectó volviéndose más grande y más inteligente.
El tiempo transcurría y las tortugas empezaron a articular sus primeras palabras (la primera en hablar fue Migelangel que dijo su nombre), Splinter se dio cuenta que el mundo jamas los comprendería al ser para ellos diferentes pero a su ves ve el enorme potencial que poseen las tortugas, por lo que decide enseñarles el arte del ninjitsu aprendido de su maestro, dándoles nombres que saco de un libro del renacimiento.

I have decided now, its time i spend some more time working on my photography.
At the beginning i had spent a lot of time on composition, and technique and developing which i have improved greatly but still need a lot of work.
I now want to concentrate on shooting in the right conditions, utilizing light and different weather conditions. Also trying to add different styles of photography to my stream as appose to only normally shooting wide open landscape shots.
I really want to look into textures, minimalism. b/w. shapes and forms as well as light and atmosphere. Just really begin to mix things up and give myself much more opportunity when out taking photographs.
This was a last minute run into the middle of now where to find a tree i shot years back and turns out that no longer exists. I came across this splintered stump of a tree and the light was reveling a lot of great tones throughout the grass tree and sky.
I got a splinter in my finger and it went septic so I dug it out with a needle which I first sterilised with a match.
I've been looking in the mirror for so long.
That I've come to believe my soul's on the other side.
All the little pieces falling, shatter.
Shards of me,
Too sharp to put back together.
Too small to matter,
But big enough to cut me into so many little pieces.
If I try to touch her,
And I bleed,
I bleed,
And I breathe,
I breathe no more.
Take a breath and I try to draw from my spirits well.
Yet again you refuse to drink like a stubborn child.
Lie to me,
Convince me that I've been sick forever.
And all of this,
Will make sense when I get better.
But I know the difference,
Between myself and my reflection.
I just can't help but to wonder,
Which of us do you love.
So I bleed,
I bleed,
And I breathe,
I breathe no...
Bleed,
I bleed,
And I breathe,
I breathe,
I breathe-
I breathe no more.

Why would anyone want to make a statue of a nude boy pulling a splinter from his foot? Let the debate begin.
Actually, this photo isn't about the statue. It's about the painting of the cat.

The Albatros D.V was a fighter aircraft used by the Luftstreitkräfte (Imperial German Air Service) during World War I. The D.V was the final development of the Albatros D.I family, and the last Albatros fighter to see operational service.
The Albatros D. V though not the most famous plane piloted by Baron Manfred von Richthofen, famously known as the Red Baron, was the one in which he sustained his most serious injuries in WW I prior to being shot down to his death a year later. The model shown here features the paint scheme flown by Richthofen with this aeroplane specification.
On 6 July 1917, during combat with a formation of F.E.2d two seat fighters of No. 20 Squadron RFC, near Wervicq, Richthofen sustained a serious head-wound, causing instant disorientation and temporary partial blindness. He regained consciousness in time to ease the aircraft out of a free-falling spin and executed a rough landing in a field within friendly territory. The injury required multiple surgical operations to remove bone splinters from the impact area. The air victory was credited to Captain Donald Cunnell of No. 20, who was himself shot down and killed a few days later (by anti-aircraft fire). The Red Baron returned to active service (against doctor's orders) on 25 July, but went on convalescent leave from 5 September to 23 October. His wound is thought to have caused lasting damage (he later often suffered from post-flight nausea and headaches) as well as a change in temperament. There is even a theory linking this injury with his eventual death.
In April 1917, Albatros received an order from the Idflieg (Inspektion der Fliegertruppen) for an improved version of the D.III. The resulting D.V prototype flew later that month.
The D.V closely resembled the D.III and used the same 127 kW (170 hp) Mercedes D.IIIa engine. The most notable difference was a new fuselage which was 32 kg (70 lb) lighter than that of the D.III. The elliptical cross-section required an additional longeron on each side of the fuselage. The vertical fin and tailplane remained unchanged from the D.III. The prototype D.V retained the standard rudder of the Johannisthal-built D.III, but production examples used the enlarged rudder featured on D.IIIs built by Ostdeutsche Albatros Werke (OAW). The D.V also featured a larger spinner and ventral fin.
The Albatros' Daimler-Merceds D.IIIa engine forms the link between aircraft and car.
The Daimler Motors Works, the cars of which bore the name 'Mercedes', had supplied aero engines with an inline six configuration to the German airforce and aero industry (the three pointed star representing air, land and sea transportation).
Prior to the introduction of the 28-95, Mercedes cars had features engines up to the configuration of the inline four cylinder (though of large capacity). The 28-95 featured a road car-developed version of the Daimler D.F. 80 Aero engine. The engine was of 7.25 litre capacity, featured overhead camshaft. The car engine debuted in the Mercedes racing cars at the Sarthe Grand Prix at Le Mans in August 1913.
The engine then formed the basis for a series of premium Mercedes models for 1914 on two wheelbase lengths, 3,555mm (140 in) and 3065mm (120.6 in). Few were built prior to the war, 20 in 1914, and a further 5 in 1915.
After the war, the 28-95 was reintroduced in 1920, 40 cars being completed that year.
A limitation of the engine was a four bearing crank and unbalance crankshaft. This limited to road engines to engine speed not far above the vibration limitation of the aero engines of 1,800 rpm. Output at 1,800 rpm was calculated at 99 bhp. Further development with a larger 7.3 litre capacity along with supercharging led to the 1922 racecar which took victory at the 1922 Targa Florio, driven by Max Sailer.
The Mercedes 28-95 Roadster shown here was an un-supercharged model released for public sale. Known as the 'Targa Florio' after the race-winning works models, and small number of which were produced with this rakish roadster bodywork.
This Albatros D. V Biplane (1917) & Daimler Mercedes 28-95 Targa Florio Roadster (1923) have both been created in Lego miniland-scale for Flickr LUGNuts' 79th build challenge, - "LUGNuts goes Wingnuts" , - featuring automotive creation inspired by, or with some relationship to aeronautical vehicles.

There's not a lot here to discuss in detail. I found a branch that had broken from a tree yet had not made it all the way to the ground. The splintered end of it looked interesting so I snapped a shot or two of it.
Only today did I realize that in that crook between the main body of the branch and the large splinter in the left portion of the shot a spider had begun to build a web. Another example of nature utilizing even its discarded components.
