Lumps, Abscesses, Tumors and Swellings on Budgerigars and other Birds (Part I)

Swollen areas and assorted growths are regularly seen on the otherwise hearty budgerigars (parakeets) and, less commonly, on other parrots, finches and softbills. Ranging from harmless to quite serious, these typically arise from trauma, abscesses, tumors, ruptured air sacs, hernias, cysts or egg-binding, but other -less obvious maladies may also be at work.

A Caution

The following remarks, while written with budgerigars in mind, are applicable to all types of birds. Please note that they are provided as guidelines, to help you understand what might be happening… only a veterinarian can accurately diagnose your bird’s medical problems.

Even benign growths, if accompanied by shivering, loss of appetite, breathing difficulties or similar symptoms, are cause for concern and necessitate an immediate visit to your veterinarian.

Ruptured Air Sacs

Budgerigars and other birds may rupture air sacs by flying into windows or other obstacles during their time out of the cage. Bird-proofing flight rooms and gradually adjusting your pet to such will go a long way in alleviating this problem. Less commonly, air sacs may be damaged when startled birds crash into cage bars or walls.

A swollen area along the breast, which emits a characteristic “crackling” sound when gently touched, is a sure sign of a ruptured air sac. Unless involving a huge area, air sac damage usually resolves quickly on its own.

Trauma-related injuries that do not involve air sacs may result in hematomas…swollen, blood-filled injuries below the skin (in people, such are often called “black-and-blues”, but skin color change will not usually be evident in a bird).

Resulting from broken blood vessels, the pooled blood typical of hematomas is usually re-absorbed by the bird without incident.

Avian abscesses present as swollen, painful, reddish areas that are warm to the touch. The swollen area, or abscess, is filled with white blood cells and other blood borne compounds produced by the bird to battle infection. The abscess usually also contains dead tissue and living and dead bacteria or other pathogens. Budgerigars often exhibit abscesses below the eye, but they may also occur on the feet, in the mouth and at other locations.

As a defense measure, the abscess has been walled off from the rest of the bird’s body, but the toxins and bacteria contained therein can escape and spread via the blood to vital organs. This can happen very quickly, and usually has fatal results. Therefore, all abscesses should be treated promptly by a veterinarian.

Gout, a disease that takes hold when uric acid is stored in the joints and internal organs, sometimes produces abscess-like growths on the feet of budgerigars. Known as tophi, these growths will bleed extensively if impacted or cut, and should be addressed by a veterinarian.

Tumors are often difficult to identify specifically, and may arise from a wide variety of diseases and conditions. Fatty tumors are usually benign and require monitoring but no other treatment, while others may be malignant.

Any unusual growth or swelling that you notice should be examined by a veterinarian. A biopsy may be used to confirm the doctor’s diagnosis if there is any doubt as to the nature of the problem.

Next time we’ll complete our review of noxious bird bumps with a look at feather cysts and cloacal swellings. Until then, please write in with your questions and comments.

    my budgie has a cyst under its wing, it keeps scratching it,and has made it bleed. i have another bird in its cage with it also. is it contageous?

  2. avatar

    Hello Joanne, Frank Indiviglio here.

    Thanks for your interest in our blog. Cysts are typically not contagious, but its important that a vet examine the birds to be sure that what you are seeing is indeed a cyst and not a symptom of another condition. Also, infection via the open wound is a serious concern…many travel fast and can be fatal rather quickly. Please let me know if you need assistance in locating an avian vet.

    Good luck and please keep me posted.

    Best regards, Frank Indiviglio.

    Hi Frank I was wondering if you might be able to help me with my parakeet he is about 8 years old and Ive never had any health issues but about 4 days ago I noticed him sitting on his perch shivering, fluffing his feathers and burying his face in his wing. I kept an eye on him that day to see what might happen the next day he was still looking cold so I covered his cage with a sheet so he could still look out the front I placed a heating pad under his cage and a pointed a light into his cage to warm him and 10 minutes later he looked better, still cold but better so i put the light closer and covered his cage entirely to keep the warmth in, he is more active and looks wonerful compared to a few days ago but he still slightly shivers, I am afraid to uncover him for fear he will once again get cold. What do you think is going on with him?

  4. avatar

    Hello Monika, Frank Indiviglio here.

    Thanks for your interest in our blog. Increasing the temperature as you are doing will help boost the bird’s immune system but, unfortunately, will not cure him. He likely has a viral or bacterial infection, similar to a “cold” in humans and needs to see a vet. As birds age, their immune systems may weaken and so conditions that they tolerated earlier may render them sick, so be sure to inform your vet about the room temperature, diet, etc.

    Infections progress very rapidly in birds and are fatal if not treated early on; please let me know if you need help in locating an avian vet.

    I hope he recovers….Good luck and please keep me posted.

    Best regards, Frank Indiviglio.

    Hi Frank, I have a parakeet that is about 5 years old. Recently she (?) has gotten a crusty growth above her beak just below her nostrils. It is kind of thick but not completely uniform which makes me think it might be something that is not normal. The bird is healthy and happy but the growth worries me. if it was to cover her nostrils she couldn’t breathe. Please let me know if I should be worried. Her name is Sunshine and is a very sweet tame parakeet. Thank you for any advise you may give me. Linda J.

  6. avatar

    Hello Linda, Frank Indiviglio here.

    Thanks for your interest in our blog. Material buildup on the cere (the hard area housing the nostrils) is common in females that are coming into breeding condition. It’s related to hormonal changes and is usually not a concern.

    However, there are also bird mites that burrow into the cere and leave flaky deposits on the cere’s surface. Sometimes you can notice tiny scars from where they have tunneled, but often not. A vet visit to rule out mites, fungus or another serious condition would be your best option. Please let me know if you need assistance in locating an avian veterinarian.

    Please let me know if you need any further information. Good luck and please keep me posted.

    Best regards, Frank Indiviglio.

    I would be grateful if you could let me know if there is an avian vet in my area (northampton) that I can take my 12 years old budgie to. She has an open wound under her wing that she keeps pecking at and making it bled – not sure what it is but it is definitely not caused by a collision during flight. I am worried that it will become infected.

  8. avatar

    Thanks for your interest in our blog. Yes, good idea to have the bird checked as infections are a major concern.

    Please check this listing of avian vets in the UK. I’m not familiar with any personally (am writing from the USA). If none are conveniently located, call the nearest and ask for a reference…avian medicine is a small specialty and vets tend to be familiar with others in their region.

    Please let me know if you need any further information. Good luck, enjoy and please keep me posted.

    Best regards, Frank Indiviglio.

    Hi Frank,

    I have a parakeet thats around 5 years old and I noticed that was picking the feathers by her vent ( Cloaca ). And her droppings are sometimes normal, but other times its liquidy. I also noticed that she is having difficulty pooping. And everytime she poops, I see her bottom swells into a ball, and then she poops. Its as if that either her ovaries are swollen, or she has a tumor or something. There is no growth on the outside, but something is going on internally. She is fluffed up and shivers, but also has days where is she very normal and active. she eats seeds, millet, and drinks water, and she can still fly inside her cage. I am not sure what to do. could she have an infection in her ovaries, or could it be a tumor or something else? this is been happening for the last 3 to 4 months. your insight is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    Hello Zee, Frank Indiviglio here.

    Thanks for your interest in our blog. Unfortunately the symptoms you describe can indicate any number of problems; Actually, I’m surprised the bird has survived so long, given that an infection is likely (shivering, puffed feathers) present along with whatever else is going on. This is not something that can be diagnosed without a vet visit; I suggest you do that as soon as possible. Please let me know if you need assistance in locating an avian vet in your area.

    Please let me know if you need any further information. Good luck, enjoy and please keep me posted.

    Best regards, Frank Indiviglio.

    Hello frank,

    Well, to give you more of a background, this parakeet was with another female ( they are both females ), and they were together for 5 years. And the other parakeet would always rub its vent and pluck feathers ( almost similar symptoms, but no ball-looking object when attempting to poop ). The other parakeet had struggled with poop being stuck to its vent, and the couple of times I’ve taken it to the vet, i would give it a shot of Betrayl and it would be fine, but then the feather plucking and poop sticking would return. This continued off and on for 3 years. But recently, my current parakeet attempted to mate with the previous parakeet, and it looks like it might have gotten the ‘infection’ or whatever it is, from the other parakeet.
    The other parakeet i had given it orncycline, but it died after 4 days of putting orncycline in the water (they both drank it for 4 days, but only the other died, which it shouldn’t have ). So my current parakeet has either gotten the infection from the previous parakeet, or it might just have developed a cyst or a tumor in its ovaries. And i do know that parakeets can live with cysts for years, and that surgically removing them would only endanger the parakeet and that the tumor/cyst would come back ! so my options would be to either have surgery ( which is very dangerous ), or try to get it baytrail, or to continue to monitor the parakeet. what do you think? Thanks

  12. avatar

    Hello Zee, Frank Indiviglio here.

    Thanks for the feedback. However, it is not possible for me to speculate as to whether a cyst/tumor is present or where it might be located; far too many possibilities. Same regarding surgical options/outcomes. Please do not give Baytril without a proper diagnosis of the condition. My best advice is that you have the bird examined by an experienced avian veterinarian.

    Please let me know if you need any further information.

    Best regards, Frank Indiviglio

    We just got a young budgie a few weeks ago. It(can’t tell if boy or girl)still has trouble with getting on and staying on my hand. It’s wings are clipped, but yesterday I noticed a small bulge under it’s feathers in the front between the feet. It isn’t puffed, it still eats fine, it still tries to escape, but I noticed the bulge is twice as big today. There was a little blood on it’s feathers and some times it picks at it. Could it be an ingrown feather or something like that? Thanks

  14. avatar

    Unfortunately it’s not possible to accurately diagnose the problem at home; several of conditions described in the articles, and others, could be involved. Please let me know if you need help in locating an avian veterinarian in your region, and please keep me posted,

    Best, Frank

    My only parakeet has been laying eggs constantly for a while and then she stopped for a couple months.When i tried to clean out her cage, she jumped out and when she ran back to her cage, i notice that her lower abdomen is hanging and swollen.Her lower stomach has a big bulge coming out of it, but other wise she is playing and eating and drinking and passing waste normally?What could be wrong?She has never been injured before and I don’t think I can afford a surgery for her at this time.

  16. avatar

    A prolapse or egg-binding may be involved, but there is noway to diagnose or treat this at home. You’ll need to bring the bird to a vet, as either condition can quickly worsen and be fatal. Other problems, including tumors , cysts, etc, could also be involved.Be sure to move the bird carefully, when transporting, as jarring and frantic movements could worsen a prolapse or other condition.

    Good luck and please keep me posted, Frank

    Hello Frank, I have a female African Grey who has an abcess under her wing and this wound is not healing. It started 2 months ago. I took her to the hospital where they cleaned and stitched the wound, all to no avail. Then I put flaminol ointment on it which improved it considerably but still it is not healing. Today I noticed a new abcess under her other wing. Could you tell me what else I could do?

  18. avatar

    Unfortunately, it’s not possible to diagnose/offer treatment for an abscess without the appropriate vet exam and tests. Spreading abscess could indicate that the problem/infection is systemic, and so treating the individual abscess would not sufficient. A culture may need to be run, followed by medication, but you’ll need to have the bird examined; perhaps a second opinion is in order. Please let me know if you need help in locating an avian vet.

    Sorry I could not offer a more useful response, Best, Frank

    Hello, I have a Parakeet with a soft lump towards the bottom of his belly.. It looks like the feathers have some how fallen off so it’s quite obvious and slightly sticks out. I have been researching it and I don’t really know what it is? He’s obviously a bit lethargic… his wings are slightly down, and he just seems down compared to the other 4. Also, when i bring them into my room i have little perches for them and he’s the only one that doesn’t go on them… so i felt bad and put a nice soft blanket neatly underneath the little perches i have for them just for him. I’m pretty sure he’s a boy because his band is a purpley blue color. Please tell me what you may think this is! Thank you!

  20. avatar

    Hello Sarah,

    There’s no way to diagnose the condition at home; the fact that the bird’s behavior is affected indicates that it is a serious condition and not simply a benign cyst. You should visit a vet as soon as possible, as most infections progress rapidly in birds. Pl let me know if you need help in locating an avian veterinarian.

    Best regards, Frank

    Hello I have an African grey who has developed a lump on his neck which has a crusty brown covering it doesn’t seem to b bothering him but is getting quite large. I hav no idea how old he is as he was rescued . I would grateful for any advice. Thankyou

  22. avatar

    Hello Anita,

    A lump such as you describe can be attributed to a wide variety of health concerns, and may be quite serious even if the bird suffers no other apparent problems. Unfortunately, it cannot be diagnosed by appearance alone; an avian vet should be consulted. pl let me know if you need help in locating a vet.

    Hi, my friends budgie who is six years old has developed what we think is a tumour
    At first she though it was constipation as he had got poo stuck on his feathers but it has gone a reddy colour and we think it may be a tumour do you know what it could be or if there is a cure or if it is fatal
    Many thanks

    I have a white female budgerigar that is approximately 10 years old, I don’t know her exact age as I got her second hand fully grown. She is housed in a large aviary with 4 other budgerigars.

    A few days ago, my sister noticed a large lump on her belly just behind her legs, there is pin prick sized cut in the centre and the whole lump appears to be a little sore. However, her behaviour is unaffected by this, she is eating, drinking, flying and grooming as normal, and she is socializing with the other birds just fine too.

    So far we have been treating her with warm water and mild antiseptic to clean the lump. She is also being monitored very closely for any change.

    Should we take her to a vet or continue as we have been?

  29. avatar

    Hi Kate,

    Best to take her to a vet, as a number of very different problems could give rise to those symptoms. The antiseptic has no doubt been useful, but if an infection becomes systemic the bird could decline very quickly; vet would also be able to check the exact cause of the lump (infection is usually secondary to another problem). Please keep me posted, I hope all goes well, Frank

    hello Mr Indiviglio,

    I just noticed today my parakeet he is about 5 or 6 years old has a wierd thing in his left nostril, I thought it was just something in his nose, i try to take it out but I think its growing in his nostril I dont know what it is can you please give me some idea, it is like kind of pink or red, but coming out of his nostril, please help.

  31. avatar

    Hello Kathy,

    Unfortunately it’s not possible to Id from a description, as several different conditions can lead to a growth such as you describe. Best not to touch or try to remove; the bird should be seen by a veterinarian; please let me know if you need help in locating an experienced avian vet.

    Best regards, Frank

  32. avatar

    I believe that my 6 yr old budgie has a cyst or tumor on his “preening” gland. I have noticed it for about 3 months now and it has continued to grow. It continues to bleed sporadically as well. After discussion with a local vet, we thought it may have just been impacted, but now appears to be growing more rapidly. Unfortunately, we do not have an avian specialist in our area. His appetite and activity level remain normal, but not sure how much longer he can survive with the growth. Any thoughts? Thank you for your time.

  33. avatar

    The growh would need to be identified before treatment can be proposed…try searching for local bird clubs to see if they have an avian vet to refer you to; your closest zoo may also be able to provide a referral. i hope all goes well, Frank

    My parakeet is a female and she is bleeding from her butt. She keeps scratching it and I dont know what it is please help

    Hello Luis,

    Hi my budgie is approximately 2 years of age or less. He has been active with another male and has developed a lump on his anus that is quite large. He acts normally however he has a big appetite and is always eating, so he can get very fat sometimes. We have reduced his diet however the lump is still existent. Please help, we are taking it to the vet, however they don’t normally help as we are in a very rural place and good veterinarians aren’t always present.

  39. avatar

    Hi Kassie,

    Sorry for the delay, I missed your post somehow. Unfortunately, it’s not possible to diagnose the cause of this condition at home..in rural regions vets who treat poultry can usually handle typical problems faced by cage birds. I hope all goes well., frank

    My budgie has a large pink lump/growth just above his nose he’s not he’s self at all he’s struggling to breath and is now breathing through his mouth , he keeps trying to itch his hea where the lump is on the cage and he seems like he’s in a lot of pain any ideas what it could be ?

  41. avatar

    There are several possibilities, but it is not possible to diagnose at home or via description. Best to have the bird seen by an experienced vet. I hope all goes well, Frank

    Hello Frank,
    My female budgie who is less then 1 year has been acting differently for the last few weeks. She always sleeps, never plays, she still eats and drinks. She sometimes vomits this white liquid stuff and has a swollen chest. She is also always puffed up. I took her to the vet once and gave her medicine through her mouth. I can’t really take her back inless it’s an emergency. Thanks for your help!

About Frank Indiviglio

Read other posts by

I believe that I was born with an intense interest in animals, as neither I nor any of my family can recall a time when I was not fascinated by creatures large and small. One might imagine this to be an unfortunate set of circumstances for a person born and raised in the Bronx, but, in actuality, quite the opposite was true. Most importantly, my family encouraged both my interest and the extensive menagerie that sprung from it. My mother and grandmother somehow found ways to cope with the skunks, flying squirrels, octopus, caimans and countless other odd creatures that routinely arrived un-announced at our front door. Assisting in hand-feeding hatchling praying mantises and in eradicating hoards of mosquitoes (I once thought I had discovered “fresh-water brine shrimp” and stocked my tanks with thousands of mosquito larvae!) became second nature to them. My mother went on to become a serious naturalist, and has helped thousands learn about wildlife in her 16 years as a volunteer at the Bronx Zoo. My grandfather actively conspired in my zoo-buildings efforts, regularly appearing with chipmunks, boa constrictors, turtles rescued from the Fulton Fish Market and, especially, unusual marine creatures. It was his passion for seahorses that led me to write a book about them years later. Thank you very much, for a complete biography of my experience click here.

    Thx for this great information that you are shareing with us we already know its usage functions and we only advice that when buyer is paying hge amount for a tripod it should come along with a user manual. and a warranty card. Company with Manfrotto status do understand that only those who have wrong intentions do not provide warranty card. If you are in India you need to respect consumer over here. selling a product without a warranty card makes it unlimited warranty information on your site can be changed anytime. we need warranty in writing.

    I feel I have been cheated by not providing warranty card.

Remembering Corinne Nelson

Corinne Nelson
Corinne Nelson

Corinne Nelson, retired supervisor of Student Health Services, Warren, Minn., passed away Oct. 5, 2018, in North Star Manor, Warren. She was 83.

Corinne Mae Carlson was born on March 13, 1935, in Warren, to Wilmoth J. and Pearl (Schumacher) Carlson. She attended Warren High School and, following her graduation in 1953, moved to Minneapolis, earning her nursing certification from Abbott Northwestern. She was united in marriage to Merle Nelson on Dec. 26, 1955, and the couple made their home on a farm in rural Alvarado, Minn.

In addition to raising their two children, she was a full time nurse. In her 50-plus year nursing career, Corinne worked many different jobs, including as a floor nurse and special duty nurse at the Warren Hospital, a Marshall County Public Health nurse, a school nurse in Alvarado, and as rehab nurse in Grand Forks. She taught Health Occupation in Warren and East Grand Forks and attended knowledge bowls in Florida with her students.

The capstone of her career was as Supervisor at UND Student Health, where she retired in 2008.

Apart from nursing, Corinne was also very involved in music and her church. She was a lifelong member of Zion Lutheran Church in Warren and played organ there from the age of 15, only stopping in recent years. She taught Sunday school and was active in the LWML. Corinne was a member of “Second Wind” band, and played trombone with them for several years. She was also very active in following and cheering on her grandchildren throughout their high school and college sporting events.

She is survived by her children, Rebecca (Peter) Erickson of Viking, MN, and Robert Nelson (Jean) of Alvarado, MN; two grandchildren, Christian (Danae) Erickson of Warren, MN, and Alexandra Erickson of Viking, MN; brother, John (Sharon) Carlson of Moorhead, MN; and nieces and nephews, John, Mitch, Jodi and Jill.

Corinne was preceded in death by her parents.

Carbon Revenue for Egypt’s Taxi Scrapping Program: Issuance At Last!

Juha Seppala's picture
Also available in: العربية | Français
 ChameleonsEye l Shutterstock.comSome of you may recall my colleague Holly Krambeck’s blogging about the Egypt Vehicle Scrapping and Recycling Project, or VSRP, as it is affectionately also known. Holly’s old posts are here and here. The project would ambitiously modernize public transportation fleets in Egypt, starting with the taxi fleet of Cairo, and expand to include other modes of public transport too, including minibuses and buses. Financing for this change was to draw on carbon finance as an additional revenue stream for the government’s program, which included discounts on the purchase price of new vehicles, cash vouchers for turning in old vehicles and easier access to credit.

That was back in 2010, when the project had not yet been officially registered as a Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) Programme of Activities. The project was registered on May 11, 2011 with the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) secretariat, allowing it to technically start generating emissions reductions based on a methodology for calculating emission reductions by low-greenhouse gas emitting vehicles (AMS-III.C. version 11).

A lot happened since, including the evolution of the methodology to include electric and hybrid vehicles, but issuance of CERs from projects using any version of this methodology has been scarce. In fact, only one CDM project, promoting the installation of low GHG emitting rolling stock in a metro system in India has ever issued CERs with this methodology. To make the Egypt project even more unique, only one programmatic CDM project has ever even been registered with this methodology – the Egypt VSRP!

The goals were certainly ambitious, and in the first year and a half of the project, 30,000 taxis were replaced, some of them 50 years old. This pace put a strain on the project, as old cars were piling high in the scrap yard along the Alexandria Desert Road waiting for further processing. In the following two years, 11,000 taxis joined the program. That is some 40,000 taxis, or half of the taxis in Cairo. Pretty impressive!

Once these taxis were included in the project, the team at the Ministry of Finance started collecting data to claim the emission reductions achieved. The process is fairly straightforward with an annual survey on the distance traveled by the new taxis and multiplied by the amount of petrol or compressed natural gas (CNG) consumed to obtain the total GHG emissions. This result is then compared with the assumed emissions for the fleet comprising of the older stock of taxis to obtain the emission reductions. Some adjustments are made to take into account, e.g. the different makes and models of vehicles in the program.

After the project was registered, it became evident that some important data from all 27 Governorates needed to finalize calculations was not readily attainable. It took until well into 2014 for the data to be compiled. Moreover, even though the program was registered in 2011, it was not until April and May of 2013 for the individual sub-projects to be included into the overall program. Thus, it was decided for all emission reductions achieved in 2013 and 2014 to be verified together and now, on September 21, 2016 the Executive Board of the CDM authorized the issuance of 146,005 Certified Emission Reductions (CERs).

The Emission Reductions for year 2015 are already in the process of being verified and, hopefully, the program can grow as originally planned to include more Governorates, more modes of transport and –making use of the updated version of the methodology attached to the project—perhaps to include hybrid and electric vehicles someday as well.  After all, the program is operational until 2039 and a lot can happen in the years ahead.

~~~ What is an ALT, and their rules.

Downloadable Entire Thread (For Excel, use Save As...) 1 | 2 | 3 | Next
  Creator Post Date

Our rules (in the General FAQ) say you are allowed to have one character. Many people wanted to have a second alternate (ALT) character so they could role-play with it or play one good and one bad. We have given you the opportunity to have an Alt character by simply paying for the privilege and buying a donation package (of any type) on your main character.

Having any current donation package gives you the privilege of allowing the use of an Alt character.

Your main character CAN NOT benefit from the Alt character. So you can't use it as a punching bag or helping to build up the main character. We have checks and rules in place to stop certain transactions between your characters, so please don't try to work around them.

When you make an Alt, you must inform DemonKnight, and he will make note of it.

We reserve the right to kill or bounty any character that does not following these rules.

Last point: If you have already told DK about your Alt, it will still be remembered....and of course you are still under the rules as written above.
August 31, 2010 11:20 pm

I have been asked about dungeon breakouts of an Alt. If the Elders place people in the dungeons and you are breaking them out, and one happens to be your Alt...that is fine.

But if you do high level crimes to put one of your characters into the dungeon just so you can try to break it out...that is WRONG, and not fine.
September 01, 2010 01:15 pm

Noble E Flux

Just to point out there are also people who play from internet cafe's and other public places. I think that the elders have allowed this in the past as long as they were informed about it. September 01, 2010 04:18 pm

Yes, and don't worry...we (us Founders) can see where you are logging in from and do take that into account. September 01, 2010 11:30 pm

I shouldn't have to say this!

Passing items to your Alt is HELPING your Alt. That is why transfers are not enabled for you and your Alts.
Using the Market to pass items to your Alts is CHEATING.

Oh, and using a third party to transfer items is NOT allowed either.

In case you haven't noticed, items in the market place stay for a few days, this means we can see them transfer.

Here's an example of one I saw today!
Player A | Minion Battle Tokens | 467 | 2010-09-02 02:55:47 | Player A Alt
Player A Alt | Minion Battle Tokens | 479 | 2010-09-02 09:58:02 | Player B
Player B | Minion Battle Tokens | 479 | 2010-09-02 10:06:33 | Player A

I just showed you the minion tokens, along with those went, a Ring, a Might's Demise and a Demon's Shard
Oh, and BM/Cash in the 2:55 sale.

How strange!
September 02, 2010 02:30 pm

I've heard of people having multiple alts. I always thought the rule was one alt, period. Is that still the case or has it changed? September 03, 2010 05:18 pm

I touched on this in the other Alt thread in this forum...

But, yeah...some have been led to believe that if both their Main and their first Alt both have DP's, that they can legally have a 3rd character, so far as other Alt rules are followed. This question was even asked in the MT forum, and the impression given then was that this was ok. The thread got deep-sixed during the Great Thread Purge about a month and a half ago, or I'd refer back to it.
September 04, 2010 12:19 am

Okay, so we don't have an official rule about multiple Alts. But, there are a few people that have more then one Alt, and they have a DP on all the characters, including the Alts. September 04, 2010 06:14 pm

Bree Willard

So as long as you're willing or able to put a dp on your extra alt(s), people are not going to get beaten as hard as those who isn't willing or able to pay? September 04, 2010 06:49 pm

In the area of those few people that have more than one Alt. and they donor pack them. That is a privilege that also carries an extra responsibility. I have my main character and my alt donor packed. It's something I have always done.

I have given away the rare donor pack to the person starting out or to help where the need is. There are no strings attached to that either.

Should the rule be clarified on the extra Alt allowed. My third person will be the first to go.
September 05, 2010 12:38 am

DVH/DK/any oranges, what's the stance on this situation?

You're doing searches with your alt and they get put in the dungeon

Would it be a rule break to break them out with your main character or not?

I'm curious now
September 10, 2010 12:20 pm

Sure it would, you'd be switching characters just to get out of the dungeon. September 10, 2010 01:47 pm

Thanks for clarifying that, wasn't sure

Then, going by that, what's the difference between that and your previous post

If the Elders place people in the dungeons and you are breaking them out, and one happens to be your Alt...that is fine.

To me, they are the same thing, (breaking an alt out of the dungeon)
September 10, 2010 02:12 pm

When the Elders put them in the dungeon it's not YOU putting YOURSELF in the dungeon. September 10, 2010 11:05 pm

Understood. That clarifies that point. Thank you DemonKnight. September 11, 2010 10:07 am

Why is the Black race at the lowest rung of the human race?

Why is the Black race at the lowest rung of the human race?

When we talk about race, we talk about an ideology that says all human populations are divided into exclusive and distinct groups – that all human populations are ranked and not the same. In what Charles Darwin called Evolutionary Ladder, white Europeans are considered more “advanced” than other human races. This English naturalist presumed that even though man originally evolved from ape-like creatures, some races have developed more than others – while the latter still bore simian features.

How Apple Is Invading Our Bodies

The Silicon Valley giant has redrawn the line that separates our technology and ourselves. That may not be a good thing

With the unveiling of the Apple Watch Tuesday in Cupertino, California, Apple is attempting to put technology somewhere where it’s never been particularly welcome.

The first time I met Michael Jackson was backstage at The ফোরাম in Los Angeles in early July 1980. He was at the কুইন প্রদর্শনী that evening and came to see the band afterwards. He spent time with John Deacon and they talked about ‘Another One Bites the Dust’ which Michael says must be a single. He also spent time with Freddie. He was 22 years old and was like an excited teenager. He had really enjoyed the প্রদর্শনী and was still ‘up’ from it.

The পরবর্তি time was a couple of years later when Freddie had been invited to Michael’s house in Encino, just north of Hollywood. We arrived at the house, having passed a security tower at the gate. We got out of the car at a mock Tudor mansion, bricks at the lower level, and white stucco and wooden beams above. Michael came to greet us with a big smile, obviously proud of his house. Before we could go in, he insisted we accompany him on a tour of the grounds. I will never forget Freddie Mercury walking through mud, wearing white jeans and white টেনিস shoes, talking to llamas! We were shown all the জন্তু জানোয়ার and taken down to a pond where Michael had swans. Michael had a real প্রণয় for these জন্তু জানোয়ার and birds; they were part of ‘his family’, as Freddie’s বন্ধু were part of his.
Michael took us into the house. I don’t know how many rooms there were in it. I do know that Michael lived there with his mother, Katherine, his two sisters, Latoya and Janet, and there were rooms for guests should anybody stay over. As we entered Michael’s bedroom, I was struck দ্বারা three things, that gave an insight to Michael.. All around the room, on the floor were his স্বর্ণ and platinum awards for ‘Thriller’. They obviously meant a lot to him, he kept them close, but he didn’t need to প্রদর্শনী them to the world, he didn’t need to প্রদর্শনী everybody how good he was. The সেকেন্ড thing was the large terrarium along one দেওয়াল containing his snake. Much had been made in the press about this favourite creature, and he was in Michaels’s room, but under heavy planks of wood kept in place with many bricks. He may have been a ‘friend’, but kept very securely. Third and last was- in the middle of the room was a king-size mattress on the floor.
Freddie asked Michael “where is the bed? আপনি have enough money to buy one!” Michael’s reply “when I sleep I like to sleep close to the earth”,
“But we are up on the first floor!” retorted Freddie.
We were shown through many rooms including a film room which had a vast লাইব্রেরি of films where I watched one, while Freddie and Michael worked, joined দ্বারা Janet. Another wonderful situation was when Freddie was in the toilet, Michael took me to his video games room and we played the early version of টেবিল tennis. There were two players, one black and the other white. We started playing and Michael was the one who pointed out that we were playing the opposite colours – “I’m playing the white and you’re playing the black!”
On the way to the studio at the back of the ground floor we were taken through the রান্নাঘর where we were introduced to Katherine, Michael’s mother. She was very kind and hospitable. When Freddie asked for an ashtray, she produced a জ্যাম jar lid, as no one in the house smoked!
The work comprised of a Michael track, ‘State of Shock’, which only needed another vocal, which Freddie happily provided. When they had finished it really only needed mixing, but sadly after this session time was the enemy and Freddie and Michael never had free time together, so Michael got Mick Jagger to put his vocal on this and it was released in this form.
The পরবর্তি was a Freddie piece he was just working on at this time. There was a পিয়ানো tune and Freddie had come up with a few words. Freddie sat at the পিয়ানো and let Michael try the singing. Where there were no words written Freddie told Michael to ad-lib, which he did with words about love.
Michael then ordered in some খাবার for us all. There were these large platters of cold meats, salads, bread, and fruit. We started in, but Michael wouldn’t touch any as he was a strict vegetarian at the time and would only have খাবার made দ্বারা his mother.
Work was started on a third track with a working শিরোনাম ‘Victory’. There was only one technician in the studio. There were no instruments set up and no musicians. Freddie and Michael worked in much the same way. At the start of a track they need a drum track to keep the beat, and then they add সঙ্গীত and instruments to this. Michael had a clever idea for the খাদ drum beat. He and Freddie were in the control room with the technician and I spent 5 মিনিট banging a toilet door in perfect time!! Somewhere in Michael’s vaults there is a tape of me!!
The studio was a place of work for both Freddie and Michael, but watching them আপনি could also imagine two children in a play room. Both of them would throw their hands in the air and burst out laughing when either of them made a mistake, but it really was a serious business too. Thinking back now to this time watching these two masters of their craft were together in one place putting this সঙ্গীত together, gives me রাজহংসী bumps.

Who was Michael Jackson for me? I met a beautiful young man. He and Freddie had much in common. He was confident, and already an incredible musician and performer. He was a resourceful technician and a considerate human being. He never once treated me any differently than he did Freddie. He thought of others in situations even though it might have had nothing to do with him. In the few conversations I had with him, I got the impression that he had few friends. He was working almost all of the time and had many professional connexions and associates. Maybe he was already a bit lonely, having to have so much security at that early age, and having to resort to bringing indoors the entertainment anyone else his age could go out for. He was only 3 years younger than me, but still hadn’t grown up! He still wanted so many of the simple things in life to bring him happiness, but did find some peace with his animals.

The Ethiopian Jewish community, known as "Beta Israel" is an ancient community which was cut off from the rest of the Jewish Diaspora centuries ago. There are differing theories as to the community's origins and when they came to Ethiopia.

Most members of the community settled in the northern and north-western sections of Ethiopia. In the 9th century, rumors of the community's existence reached world Jewry through a mysterious tourist called Eldad Hadani and also via Benjamin of Tudela - the most famous Jewish traveler of the Middle Ages. In the 16th century, Rabbi David Ben Zimra (Radbaz) met with a Beta Israel captive in Egypt and determined that the members of this community belonged to the Jewish people.

In 1867 Professor Joseph Halevy was sent to the community as a representative of the French "Alliance Israelite Universelle" organization, subsequently followed in 1904 by his student, Dr. Jacob Faitlovitz. Dr. Faitlovitz dedicated himself to the community and among other projects he worked to establish a Jewish school there.

In the mid-1950's the Jewish Agency for Israel brought two small groups of Beta Israel youths to Israel, where they studied at the Kfar Batya youth village. Some of them later returned to Ethiopia to serve as teachers in their community. The Jewish Agency and Ort Israel worked jointly among the Jews in Ethiopia and founded a school to teach the Hebrew language.

The large Aliyah from Ethiopia began after rulings were issued by the Chief Rabbis of Israel at that time, Rabbi Ovadia Yossef in 1973 and Rabbi Shlomo Goren in 1975, declaring Beta Israel members to be Jews. The first community activists arrived in Sudan in the late 1970's, where they began— with the help of the Mossad — to implement plans to smuggle Jews from Ethiopia to Israel. Between 1977 and 1984 a total of some 7,000 Jews came to Israel on foot, via IDF naval ships and by plane in numerous small operations.

The peak of the trek came in 1984, when thousands of Jews, including women, children and the elderly, arrived in Sudan, led by community and spiritual leaders (Kies).

More then 4,000 members of the Beta Israel community died during the course of the arduous and dangerous journey, which sometimes took months, or during the long waiting period in refugee camps. Most perished as the result of disease, starvation and murderous attacks by marauders.

Due to the imminent danger that threatened the Jews remaining in hostile Ethiopia, a covert aerial evacuation operation was planned. The operation, called "Operation Moses" brought 6,700 Ethiopian Jews to Israel between November 1984 and January 1985. However, the operation was prematurely publicized by the media, causing it to be halted before all the Jews were evacuated. This resulted in families being separated, with some members in Israel and others returning to their villages in Ethiopia. A number of months later, in 1985, within the framework of a small covert operation called "Operation Sheba" an additional 650 people were flown to Israel.

Following a long interruption, a large wave of immigrants left in 1991 in yet another operation, called "Operation Solomon". This complex, well planned operation airlifted some 14,400 people from Addis Ababa to Israel in a single day.

Following Operation Solomon, additional waves of immigrants from the Falash Mura community also began to arrive in Israel. Members of this group, which originally belonged to Beta Israel, returned to Judaism after having converted to Christianity for various historical reasons.

The Aliyah of Ethiopian Jewry represents one of the most fascinating and wonderful stories of the Jewish people and of Zionism. It expresses the fulfillment of an ancient dream as well as the longing for and lasting bond with Eretz Israel and the holy city of Jerusalem.

When Busy strayed on Sunday evening from the Breach and Sailor with the white star on his breast went missing at Khetwady, their owners turned to the Bombay press.

‘Dog Lost’, ‘Stolen or Gone Astray’, notices were published on the front page. A handsome reward was promised on the dog’s return.

Yet often in the notices no address was given to which the dog could be returned. Only the owner’s name was mentioned. Why so?

The world encompassed by the daily press of the 1860s was so small, the citizens that featured so familiar, that the front page of the paper read like a Facebook feed. Newspaper offices themselves often served as the first port of call so that Busy was as likely to be escorted back to the Bombay Gazette office as she was to her owner Mr W. Trevor Roper’s arms.

This post is in memory of Oscar Parmar who strayed at midnight on 31st May from Babulnath Road.

Alarmed by the influx of non-Parsi spouses to Adenwalla Baug over the past decade, Hormusjee’s granddaughter Makki had begun to call her family home Adenwalla Baug Miscellaneous.
Hormusjee’s grandchildren had inherited intact his orthodoxy. Makki combined hers with good breeding. Sitting at the front porch with tea, magazines and an electric bell, she would wave or salaam at the motley crew of residents, employees and guests that passed in and out of the compound’s green gates.

Douglas, You Need Glasses!

Picture Books / Wednesday, July 27th, 2016

Hello, welcome to Book Monsters. Deckle has donned his poshest specs for our stop on a fantastic blog tour. Take a seat, get comfortable, I have a great book to share with you today.

This is Douglas, You Need Glasses! Written and illustrated by Ged Adamson, published by Random House.

I wear glasses and I’m quite happy with that fact. Yes, it’s a pain trying to hold them onto my face on a roller coaster, and the other day I did, embarrassingly, release a clump of hair into the wild thinking it was a spider!! But, glasses allow me to pretend I’m smart, and also fit in very nicely in my job as a librarian. I do like to peer over them at customers about to ask me a booky type question.

However, I got my glasses when I was 19. Not a bad age with regards to adapting. but, if I had needed glasses as a child, would accepting them have been quite so easy? I suspect not. Children can find little things that make them seem different, or stand out from the crowd, tricky to get used to. This where books come in. Books like this in particular.

So, what is Douglas, You Need Glasses! all about? Well, the title says it all really. Poor Douglas has a problem, he is rather near sighted, meaning that he bumbles through life, missing important signs, chasing the wrong things, even going into the wrong house! But when a game of fetch ends disastrously, his best friend Nancy decides action is needed, and carts him off to the opticians. Finally Douglas sees what he’s been missing out on all this time!

This is fabulous little picture book. It is just funny and entertaining. Douglas gets into lots of trouble due to his poor eyesight, so regardless of whether the wearing of glasses is an issue for your child, or not, it’s just a lovely fun read.

But, in terms of explaining the process of getting glasses to a young child, this is absolutely spot on. We see the consequences of ignoring sight problems. Then it takes us through the process of going to the opticians, from meeting the “eye doctor”, to reading the sight chart and then choosing glasses to wear. It’s incredibly sweet and nicely done. I think it would make a brilliant support for children who are needing to wear glasses and not really understanding the process, or maybe who are concerned about looking different. There is a fantastic addition at the back of the book of multiple photos of children proudly sporting their glasses. It’s great, and another way of reassuring children that it’s quite a normal thing.

Aside from the helpful and educational aspect of this book, it’s bags of fun. Ged Adamson’s illustrations are just gorgeous. Nancy, oh, how I love Nancy, she has a fantastic tom-boy look about her, full of character and pluck, but with the kindest sweetest face. The illustrations are bright, colourful and full of dynamism and life. I particularly adored the forest with it’s multi coloured trees, showing that we don’t have to stick to the standard colours for pictures. They put a huge smile on my face so do look out for those when you get this book! Although Ged Adamson’s images are bright and fun, they are incredibly clear, so when explaining aspects of the book to a child, you can easily identify what’s happening in each scene. Even down to the very clever spread, showing what Douglas is seeing through his brand new glasses. All very clever and perfectly executed.

There is most certainly a gap for a book like this supporting all those lovely glasses wearing children out there, but it is also just a brilliantly entertaining, funny and sweet read. You can’t fail to smile at this lovely story.

Douglas, You Need Glasses! is now available from all good bookshops and libraries. Or you can purchase at one of the following online sites:
– Book Depository
– Amazon UK
– Amazon US
– Barnes and Noble
– IndieBound

Do follow the rest of the blog tour as there is lots of exciting happenings still to happen!!

Sir Bertram Coghill Alan Windle, FRS, FSA, KSG (8 May 1858 – 14 February 1929) was a British anatomist, administrator, archaeologist, scientist, educationalist and writer. He was born at Mayfield Vicarage, in Staffordshire, where his father, the Reverend Samuel Allen Windle, a Church of England clergyman, was vicar. He attended Trinity College, where he graduated B.A. in 1879. He also served as Librarian of the University Philosophical Society in the 1877–78 session.

In 1891 he was appointed dean of the medical faculty of Queen’s College, Birmingham. Queen’s College’s medical faculty became the medical faculty of Mason Science College in the early 1890s, and then became the medical faculty of the University of Birmingham in 1900. Windle was professor of anatomy and anthropology and first Dean of the Medical Faculty at Birmingham University. In 1904 he accepted the presidency of Queen’s College, Cork. Windle married twice, first in 1886 to Madoline Hudson, and in 1901 to Edith Mary Nazer. He died in 1929 aged 71. His conversion to Catholicism influenced many.
Windle was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1899. In 1909, he was made a knight of St. Gregory the Great by Pius X. In 1912, he was made a Knight Bachelor and therefore granted the title sir. He was knighted by King George V during a ceremony at Buckingham Palace on 6 March 1912 (Wikipedia)

Wyatt- The Journals of Woodrow Wyatt Wyatt, Woodrow. The Journals of Woodrow Wyatt. Volume One. Edited by Sarah Curtis. Volume One. London, Macmillan, 1998. 24cm x 16cm. xviii, 748 pages. With photographs. Original Hardcover with original price-clipped dustjacket. Very good condition with only minor signs of external wear.

When Wyatt died in December 1997, he was remembered as a politician, journalist, Chairman of the Tote and confidant of Margaret Thatcher. What no one knew was that from 1985 he had been keeping a journal. His close relationship to Thatcher provides the compelling focus of these journals. Most Sunday mornings between 1986 and her fall from power, Woodrow Wyatt was encouraging, advising, listening to and commiserating with her. Their conversation touched on almost every political event of the time and it is in his journals that we find the comments he could not make public. Entries give the inside story of the Westland affair, the successful Thatcher 1987 election campaign and the growing unease with her leadership.

His life at the Tote brough friendship with raceowners and with royalty, in particular Queen Elizabeth and the Queen Mother. His determination to modernize the Tote and his pride in maximising its profits for the benefit of racing run through his journals. He records weekends in stately homes, parties big and small, the food, the wine and the gossip. Wyatt, canny, opinionated, loyal and warm-hearted, is a contemporary of Pepys in the spontaneity of his observations and the breadth of his interests.

Harold Carmichael Wylly, CB (18 January 1858 – 3 September 1932) was a British Army colonel and military historian. Wylly was born in Meerut in the North West Province of British India, the son of E. M. Wylly, a judge in the High Court of Agra. He was educated at Henley Grammar School, Wimbledon School and the Royal Military College, Sandhurst, before embarking on a career as an army officer when he was commissioned a lieutenant on 11 September 1878, serving first with the 95th (Derbyshire) Regiment of Foot, which in 1881 was merged into the Sherwood Foresters, as the 2nd battalion (Derbyshire Regiment). He served in the Anglo-Egyptian War in 1882, was promoted to captain on 1 May 1884, served in the Sikkim Expedition in 1888, was promoted to major on 26 May 1893, and served in the Tirah Campaign 1897–98. In February 1900 he joined his battalion when it transferred to Malta. Following the outbreak of the Second Boer War, the 1st battalion of his regiment had embarked for South Africa in November 1899. Leaving his own battalion at Malta, Wylly transferred to South Africa where he was promoted to lieutenant-colonel in command of the 1st battalion from 22 December 1900. For services during the war, he was mentioned in despatches (dated 8 April 1902), and appointed a Companion of the Order of the Bath (CB) in the South Africa honours list published on 26 June 1902. The battalion was later stationed in Hong Kong. (Wikipedia).

After nearly thirty years as BBC Radio 2’s top presenter and with over five million listeners, Jimmy Young said his last ‘bye for now’ at the end of 2002. It was the end of a legendary programme, although not the end for Young. Traditionally a very private man, he finally reveals not only the truth behind his controversial departure from the BBC, but also the full story of his life. This is a fascinating, funny and candid account of a lifetime in showbusiness and the private man behind one of Britain’s best-loved figures.

Blessed is she who has believed that what the Lord has said to her will be accomplished! Luke 1:45

Monday's Menu

Yesterday was Hubby's birthday and, even though I was sick with a cold, I managed to get enough of a cold medicine high going that I could make some yummy cupcakes (while washing my hands repeatedly) for him.

I used a simple devil's food cake mix and pushed a Reese's peanut butter cup down into the center of each one.

If the man knew he was going to be marooned on a desert island, all he'd need is a few zillion jars of peanut butter and some crackers. If we don't have peanut butter in the pantry, he starts getting the shakes. So I knew that would be a hit.

The frosting, however, is what I planned to share today. I used a recipe from a site I was pretty sure I got from Skip to My Lou but I couldn't find it again so I profoundly apologize to the author. If anyone recognizes it, please let me know and I'll gladly give credit where its due.

He really likes the whipped frosting that some bakeries use and this is one that tastes a lot like that. I had to add more peanut butter because even doubling the amount called for did not make it look brown like the picture that is with the recipe. I'm not really sure what kind she must have used but it obviously wasn't the same.

Of course, Hubby wasn't going to complain about MORE peanut butter in it.

He seems to think they taste best right out of the fridge but I have discovered that they are okay on the counter too. At first, I thought they might get a little melty but they don't. Hope you give this one a try.

Whipped Peanut Butter Frosting

1 8-oz. tub of whipped topping
1 Tablespoon brown sugar
6 Tablespoons peanut butter (I used creamy but I imagine either would work)

Mix whipped topping and brown sugar together. Add peanut butter and blend on high until combined. Spread onto cooled cupcakes or spoon into piping bag to decorate.

Sping Break in San Antonio

Jacqui and I took the kids to San Antonio for spring break. We stayed at the Hyatt, which is on the river walk and only two blocks from the Alamo.

1st think you do - see the Alamo

We let the kids go in the Guiness Book of World Records place....

...while we enjoyed a drink at the hotel.

After a Tex-Mex dinner on the river walk, we took a boat tour. It was cool~!

Next morning, the breakfast of champions.

Then it was off to Sea World

Lauren did NOT like the rollercoasters.

This was more her speed.

Kenn and Ryan drove up, so the next morning we went to the Alamo again

Then we all headed to Natural Bridge Caverns.

We had FUN!!

A Bun in the Oven

In early September, Bradley and I had "the talk." Bradley has been wanting a baby since we said I Do, but I was hesitant because I know that a lot of the responsibility of taking care of a baby will fall to me. I know this seems like an Old World mentality, but in my REALITY, I know this is a very real possibility. I also thought that Bradley and I needed time for just us before we brought someone else into our lives. So we spent two years having fun together. We went on cruises, road trips, and did lots of silly things (Like buying Red Bull at 11:00 p.m. and staying up all night playing Super Nintendo Games)( <----I don't think that will happen very often once a baby is in our lives). We slept late and did whatever WE wanted with our free time, and it was awesome. Then we started seeing babies everywhere, and I slowly contracted the fever, and I am not talking about Bieber Fever. Baby Fever.

Being the planner that I am I started thinking out when the best time of the year logistically for us would be to have a baby. Since I work for the school, it seemed like a summer baby would be the best for us this first time since I do not have a ton of vacation days saved up. So we decided to put it in God's hands. If it worked out then we would have a June baby. If it didn't, we could try again next year. From the information shared in the last post, I guess you can tell that it worked out. That's where the new blog title comes in A + B = 3. Our family of two is growing to three. We took a test in mid October and got positive results, but we did not tell anyone until later. I will share all those details in a later post! At that point, the only thing that I was worried about is that it might be TWINS! :)
