The Slplinter 453 S was inspired by the Plymouth Prowler. This Hot Rod is powerd by a 3.5 liter V6 producing 453 horsepower. It is available with or with out a front wing. It will do 0-60 in 4.2 seconds and on to a top speed of 165 MPH!
This is a remake of a much older LDD MOC of mine that was made in 2008. This new car has been upgraded to the Speed Champions style wheels, and the wheel base has been lengthend by 1 stud over the original model. New to this model is also the front wing. I experimented with several front bumper designs but this one looked the best. I also moved the front wing back by 1 stud from the last design, as it made the car to long and it looks better this way. It is buildable in yellow, black, blue, red and white.
Of course, where there's a jousting exhibition, there's going to be some controlled mayhem. I previously showed you some of the earlier face-offs, but for these shots, I was using a wider-angle lens to capture more of the action at once.
I started to whittle alone one fall day when my sweetheart was far away, and the kids were all out of the house. I shaved deep gouges into a little branch, feeling through the knots, finding memories like splinters.
Named for its splintered legs and lack of feet. This Assault Cores (A.C.) preferential mode of transit and combat is in the skies due to an increase of mobility; however, the Splinter Z02 is also a capable ground assault unit. His equipment consists of a wrist mounted laser, which doubles as a laser sword in close combat and a high impact deflector shield on the opposite wrist. Splinter Z02 isn’t the toughest or the most lethal A.C., but he’s probably the quickest and most agile making him an ideal matche against heavier armored A.C.’s. He can fly circles around them and before they’ve even managed a lock-on, he’ll have come in for a surgical strike to the power relays, rendering them defenseless.
I went to Lawton elementary school in San Francisco. Lawton is actually a K-8 school, so I was there for a good amount of time. Nine years. Nine years of the same people too. Everyone knew one person from the next.
Lawton does not have an expansive play area, nor a dedicated gymnasium; so often times physical education teachers would march their classes up to Sunset Recreational Park, just one block up (literally). It's here we had, what was perceived at the time as, a large green field to play soccer, softball, flag football (loved this the most!), ultimate frisbee ... yeah, the good stuff.
It's been ten and a half years since I've left Lawton, and to be frank -I don't really miss it. The park is still here though. I live just a stones throw from it.
Somehow playgrounds just satisfy me in a way that other places can't. Come'on. Monkey bars? Slides? Swings? Sweet stuff right there. I've had my fair share of scrapped knees and bloody elbows at this park. Splinters too (damn those).
The park has seen some small changes over time -changes manifested mainly as the removal of this awesome mini-carousel contraption that managed to get everyone dizzy all the time, and the addition of some weird whacked out cat structure for kids to run in and out of. Creepy looking, and it does not really match the rest of the wooden playground.
My favorite thing to do at a playground as a child was to play on the swings. But I didn't sit in them. I stood on them while I rode them. Imagine that. Such a brilliant child I was.
My second favorite thing to do would probably be the monkey bars ... always a challenge to get all the way across with my measly little arms.
What was your favorite thing to do at the park?
Ah, the wonderful feeling of having sand in your shoes. Oh, and I just noticed that my sweatshirt coincidently matches the [now peeling] paint job of the play structures -Schweet!
And to those that may say "Grow up Anthony," I simply reply, "No, you grow down."
In any case my dad was a bit under the weather this past weekend, and I think I may have gotten whatever bug he had. Doesn't seem to be hitting me that bad though, so I'm glad. I should be in spiffy shape for Las Vegas this weekend. Should be fun ... can't wait to see what there is to photograph there!

This is another shot of that little beast that I showed you yesterday. This one, honestly, isn't quite as good as the last one, but this slightly out of focus shot is one of the clearest shots I have of the full length of the spider. I really wanted to show off this spider's markings but it was quite the difficult task. You see, the spider kept flying away using its web-sail. Don't forget, this one was really tiny. You'll have a sense of scale in later shots.
Photograph taken at an altitude of Forty three metres, at 11:50am on Monday September 2nd 2012 off Promenade A592 towards the Bowness on Windermere ferry terminal in Bowness Bay on Lake Windermere.
Windermere is the largest natural lake in England, part of the Lake District in Cumbria, England and fed by the River Brathay, River Rothay, Cunsey Beck, and Trout Beck. It is a ribbon lake formed in a glacial trough after the retreat of ice at the start of the current interglacial. .

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 vivÃa 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 sufrÃa Yoshi por parte del lÃder 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 lÃder 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 sonreirÃa nuevamente, en un dÃa normal, un invidente trata de cruzar la calle y casi es atropellado por un camión que contenÃa 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 transcurrÃa 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 comprenderÃa 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.
