She was told that girls don't play hard rock.
At 16, she joined The Runaways and helped change that perception forever.
Years later, she scored a Top 10 hit with Ozzy Osbourne and became one of the most influential female guitarists in rock history.
Can you name her?
45 seconds to orbit..
This video compresses one of the most incredible journeys ever achieved by humanity. In less than an hour, a rocket goes from sitting on a launch pad to traveling around Earth at nearly 28,000 km/h.
What looks smooth on screen is actually an explosive climb through the atmosphere powered by millions of pounds of thrust, carrying astronauts, satellites, or cargo into the vacuum of space.
From Earth to orbit in 45 seconds. Reality is often more impressive than science fict
"In the 3rd inning at Navin Field in Detroit, Babe Ruth wallops a Tommy Bridges 3-2 pitch far over the right field wall and on to Plum Street for his 700th career home run.
It was estimated the ball travelled 500 feet when Ruth connected in the third inning, and Babe immediately started screamed out loud to Yankee third base coach Art Fletcher:
“I want that ball!
I want that ball!
Bring whoever caught it around to the clubhouse and I’ll give him twenty dollars.” “I was waiting for a friend who was late. Suddenly a cry rang down Trumbull from the bleachers Of Navin Field:
‘The Babe socked one!’
I was just standing nonchalantly out there and saw the ball coming over the fence and straight down Plum Street.
Me being a track man at Northwestern High School, I went down the street after it, like a nine-second man.
It rolled under a car.
I dove under the car and grabbed it.
Then a lot of policemen and ushers all grabbed me.
They put me on their shoulders and stopped the game and took me into the ballpark and put me in the dugout with Babe Ruth, Joe McCarthy the manager and Lou Gehrig.
After the game, Babe said:
‘I’m gonna give him $120.’
Babe Ruth didn’t have his wallet though, so he told Lou Gehrig:
'I’ll give that boy a $20 bill.'"
17 year old Lenny Bielski.
In the clubhouse Ruth did in fact give Bielski twenty dollars and an autographed baseball in exchange for the home run ball, making Bielski very happy.
The Babe said:
"That’s a ball I’ve wanted for a long time."
Lou Gehrig took Bielski aside later and said, “If you’d been a little older, you’d have got thousands of dollars for it.”
Gehrig told Bielski that the man who caught Ruth’s 600th home run hit in St. Louis:
"Got $4,000 or $5,000 for that ball."
Babe Ruth and Lenny Bielski.
Good night and sleep tight to our smallest Nursery girls, Zuri and Kipekee. Keeper Julius arrived for lights out, but found the pair already asleep.
Little Zuri was only rescued last month. Kipekee wasn't too thrilled to share the spotlight but she's adjusting. In fact we felt so encouraged by their budding friendship we moved Kipekee's stable next door, so they can be night-time neighbours.
Zuri fell into a septic tank before her rescue and is our newest rescue. She's five months old and still vulnerable, but she's in much better condition than most that arrive in our care (so can fall asleep happily without a blanket).
