Be right back!
Also, I'm low-key obsessed with giraffes!!
This lovely Polo is a GT spec, the fastest Polo of its time, superseded by the G40. It looked great in red with the red piping and badge. It's getting rare to see this generation of Polo now, especially unmodified ones, and this one has done amazingly well to stay so original and not fall victim to horrendous modifying.
This wasn't actually a particularly quick car, especially by today's standards, with a quoted 0-60 of 11.1 seconds and 75BHP (my dreadfully slow Corsa 1.2 has 85!) but the small and light body must make it pretty nippy. It's quite a high mileage car with over 175,000 miles at the last MOT in September last year, however is probably still reliable and a good runner. Long may it live!
Watch Out!

I don't know if maritime men have a way of saying "highball" but the Captain on the Michipicoten has been running circles around everyone else this summer. Here they come right around 5am on a Saturday morning into the Aerial Lift Bridge Canal in Duluth, hauling ass as usual.
NASA image release December 5, 2011
This is an artist's concept of the fastest rotating star found to date. The massive, bright young star, called VFTS 102, rotates at a million miles per hour, or 100 times faster than our Sun does. Centrifugal forces from this dizzying spin rate have flattened the star into an oblate shape and spun off a disk of hot plasma, seen edge on in this view from a hypothetical planet. The star may have "spun up" by accreting material from a binary companion star. The rapidly evolving companion later exploded as a supernova. The whirling star lies 160,000 light-years away in the Large Magellanic Cloud, a satellite galaxy of our Milky Way.
The team will use NASA's Hubble Space Telescope to make precise measurements of the star's proper motion across space.

Pronghorn the fastest land mammal in the US is not an antelope but it closely resembles the true antelopes of the Old World and fills a similar ecological niche due to parallel evolution. This female was walking parallel to me in Yellowstone.

William Mosienko (November 2, 1921 – July 9, 1994) was a Ukrainian Canadian professional ice hockey right winger who played 14 seasons in the National Hockey League (NHL) for the Chicago Black Hawks.
His most famous moment came on March 23, 1952, in a game against the New York Rangers on the final night of the regular season. He scored three goals in a 21-second span of the third period against New York's Lorne Anderson to set a new record for the fastest hat-trick by one player. The record still stands .
After hockey he opened a few bowling alleys in his home town of Winnipeg . This mural was recently restored .
The Holy Trinity Ukrainian Orthodox Metropolitan Cathedral was built in the 1950's . It is on Main Street in Winnipeg Canada .

This is the fastest I've ever finished an anime figure. Ever.
Probably because Hohenheim is one of my favorite characters. Ever. And he's also got to be in the running for Most Tragic Character in Anime.
I sculpted and painted his hair and beard. This was my first time sculpting a beard, and they are a royal pain to make.
His tie, collar, waistcoat, and overcoat are e-tape.
His briefcase is just a Lego piece.
Let me know what you think!
The cheetah (Acinonyx jubatus) is a large cat of the subfamily Felinae that occurs in Southern, North and East Africa, and a few localities in Iran. The species is IUCN Red Listed as vulnerable, as it suffered a substantial decline in its historic range in the 20th century due to habitat loss, poaching, illegal pet trade, and conflict with humans. By 2016, the global cheetah population has been estimated at approximately 7,100 individuals in the wild. Several African countries have taken steps to improve cheetah conservation measures.
It is the fastest land animal. The only extant member of the genus Acinonyx, the cheetah was formally described by Johann Christian Daniel von Schreber in 1775. The cheetah is characterised by a slender body, deep chest, spotted coat, small rounded head, black tear-like streaks on the face, long thin legs and long spotted tail. Its lightly built, slender form is in sharp contrast with the robust build of the big cats, making it more similar to the cougar. The cheetah reaches nearly 70 to 90 cm (28 to 35 in) at the shoulder, and weighs 21–72 kg (46–159 lb). Though taller than the leopard, it is notably smaller than the lion. Typically yellowish tan or rufous to greyish white, the coat is uniformly covered with nearly 2,000 solid black spots.
Cheetahs are active mainly during the day, with hunting their major activity. Adult males are sociable despite their territoriality, forming groups called coalitions. Females are not territorial; they may be solitary or live with their offspring in home ranges. Carnivores, cheetah mainly prey upon antelopes and gazelles. They will stalk their prey to within 100–300 m (330–980 ft), charge towards it and kill it by tripping it during the chase and biting its throat to suffocate it to death. Cheetahs can reach speeds of 112 km/h (70 mph) in short bursts, but this is disputed by more recent measurements. The average speed of cheetahs is about 64 km/h (40 mph). Cheetahs are induced ovulators, breeding throughout the year. Gestation is nearly three months long, resulting in a litter of typically three to five cubs (the number can vary from one to eight). Weaning occurs at six months; siblings tend to stay together for some time. Cheetah cubs face higher mortality than most other mammals, especially in the Serengeti region. Cheetahs inhabit a variety of habitats – dry forests, scrub forests and savannahs.
Because of its prowess at hunting, the cheetah was tamed and used to kill game at hunts in the past. The animal has been widely depicted in art, literature, advertising and animation.
The Peregrine Falcon is the fastest animal on the planet. While diving in the air, it can reach speeds of over 200 mph (320 km/h). No wonder I sometimes lost him in my viewfinder! It was amazing to witness!
He was unsuccessful in this attempt at capturing a pigeon for breakfast.
The fastest of these can cover a quarter of a mile in less than 5 seconds at 330 mph, burning 15 gallons of nitromethane fuel per run.

A Juvenile Peregrine Falcon watching with great intensity at its parents flying nearby. Peregrine Falcons are the fastest animals in the world.
today i went to visit a friend at the hospital
i took the new subway train,was more relaxing than driving- oggi sono andata a visitare una amica in ospedale con la metropolitana, piu' rilassante di viaggiare in macchina
This is either the fastest bird in the world or I don't know what I am doing. I have been testing settings for bird picture taking at my feeding station. This was taken at 1/1600 s with flash in the manual mode at full power. Frequently, birds flinched like this in the response to the flash. The mystery is that with these settings and in the absence of the pre-flash they should have no chance to respond fast enough to be captured in the photo! Assuming synchronous onset of the flash and opening of the shutter, this bird would have to respond in approximately 0.6 ms! This seems to be physically impossible.
Any ideas what is going on?
Anyway, I like the feather structure in this photo.

In honor of International Women’s Day, I wanted to do a photo to raise awareness of sex trafficking. Human trafficking is the largest and fastest growing criminal industry in the world, and around 27 million today are victims of it around the world. About 80% of it is sex trafficking, which is primarily young women ages 9-19. These girls are approached by the predators who promise them things like a better job, clothing, education, money, and overall a better life. Many girls in other countries have to work to support their families, and often work for very low wages and look for better opportunities in other countries. So this seems like a dream, when in reality they’re about to experiencing a living nightmare. The girls are then forced to work as prostitutes, be in pornographic films, dance as strippers, and so on. Their pimps addict them to drugs and they are always locked in their rooms with no way to escape. And this doesn’t just happen overseas – an estimated 100,000 girls are trafficked right here in the United States. Yup, this is happening in our midst.
If this is going to stop, we need to raise awareness. So tweet about it, reblog it, share it, let's make this known.

SAMLESBURY HALL IS A HISTORIC HOUSE IN SAMLESBURY, LANCASHIRE, ENGLAND, 6 MILES EAST OF PRESTON. IT WAS BUILT IN 1325 BY GILBERT DE SOUTHWORTH, AND WAS THE PRIMARY HOME OF THE SOUTHWORTH FAMILY UNTIL THE EARLY 17TH CENTURY.
SAMLESBURY HALL MAY HAVE BEEN BUILT TO REPLACE AN EARLIER BUILDING DESTROYED DURING A RAID BY THE SCOTS, DURING THE GREAT RAID OF 1322. THE HALL HAS BEEN MANY THINGS IN ITS PAST INCLUDING A PUBLIC HOUSE AND A GIRLS' BOARDING SCHOOL, BUT SINCE 1925, WHEN IT WAS SAVED FROM BEING DEMOLISHED FOR ITS TIMBER, IT HAS BEEN ADMINISTERED BY A REGISTERED CHARITABLE TRUST, THE SAMLESBURY HALL TRUST.
GHOST STOREY
SAMLESBURY HALLIS REPUTEDLY HAUNTED BY A 'WHITE LADY’.THE WHITE LADY IS THOUGHT TO BE THE GHOST OF LADY DOROTHY SOUTHWORTH.
LADY DOROTHY LIVED AT THE HALL DURING THE SEVENTEENTH CENTURY. HER FAMILY WERE STAUNCH CATHOLICS BUT DOROTHY FELL IN LOVE WITH A NEIGHBOUR WHO HAPPENED TO BE A PROTESTANT.
BECAUSE OF FAMILY CONFLICT, THE YOUNG LOVERS COULD ONLY MEET IN SECRET, AND EVENTUALLY THEY DECIDED THEY WOULD ELOPE. ON THE NIGHT OF THEIR ESCAPE, THE YOUNG MAN MADE HIS WAY TO THE HALL, BUT BEFORE HE COULD GET TO DOROTHY, HER BROTHER CREPT UP ON HIM AND KILLED BOTH HIM AND TWO OF HIS ACCOMPLICES WITH HIS SWORD.
BLUEBIRD K7
THE ENGINE FOR THE BLUEBIRD K7 WAS MADE IN THE SAMLESBURY ENGINEERING WORKS WHICH WAS IN THE GROUNDS OF THE HALL IN 1960. THIS WAS ALSO THE SITE FOR MANY OF THE EARLY BUS ENGINES MADE ON THAT TIME. THE BLUEBIRD K7 WAS RECORDED AS THE FASTEST WATER SPEED RECORD DRIVEN BY DONALD CAMPBELL CBE BEFORE IT SPECTACULARLY EXPLODED IN CONISTON WATER IN 1967 KILLING DONALD CAMPBELL.
Cheetah ( Acinonyx jubatus )...............The fastest land creature on Earth.
Unfortunately the sky was rather overcast & so the light was poor , when I saw my first cheetah in the wild. But I was still delighted to be so close to one. She was walking when we first spotted her , then she sat a short while , got up & strolled gracefully passed by our vehicle .
