The Ferrari GTO (often referred to as Ferrari 288 GTO)(Type F114) is an exotic homologation of the Ferrari 308 GTB produced from 1984 to 1987 in Ferrari's Maranello factory, designated GT for Gran Turismo and O for Omologata (homologated in Italian).
Some of the GTO's styling features were first displayed on a 308 GTB design exercise by Pininfarina shown at the 1977 Geneva Auto Salon. The 288 GTO had started out as a modified version of the 308/328 to hold down costs and to build the car quickly, but little of the 308/328 was left when the 288 GTO was finished.
Easily noticeable differences were the GTOs bulging fender flares, larger front/rear spoilers, large "flag-style" outside mirrors and four driving lights at the far sides of the grille. Retained from the original 250 GTO were slanted air vents, put in the GTO's rear fenders to cool the brakes, as well as the rear wing's design, borrowed from the 250 GTO's original wing. The GTO also had wider body panels than the 308's because they had to cover much larger Goodyear tires mounted on racing wheels.
The GTO was based on the rear mid-engine, rear wheel drive 308 GTB, which has a 2.9 L (2,927 cc) V8. The "288" refers to the GTO's 2.8 litre DOHC 4 valves per cylinder V8 engine as it used a de-bored by 1 mm (0.04 in) with IHI twin-turbochargers, Behr air-to-air intercoolers, Weber-Marelli fuel injection and a compression ratio of 7.6:1. The 2.85 litre engine capacity was dictated by the FIA's requirement for a turbocharged engine's capacity to be multiplied by 1.4. This gave the GTO an equivalent engine capacity of 3,997 cc (4.0 L; 243.9 cu in), just under the Group B limit of 4.0 litres.
Unlike the 308's 2,927 cc (2.9 L; 178.6 cu in) engine, the GTO's 2,855 cc (2.9 L; 174.2 cu in) V8 was mounted longitudinally, using the 308's rear trunk space. This was necessary to make room for the twin turbochargers and intercoolers. The racing transmission was mounted to the rear of the longitudinal engine, moving the rear differential and wheels aft. The arrangement also let the GTO use a more conventional race-car engine/transmission layout for such things as quick gear-ratio changes for various tracks. As a result, the wheelbase was 110 mm (4.3 in) longer at 2,450 mm (96.5 in).
50+ Degrees Actual Temperature Difference Inside Vs Outside At Long Island Home - IMRAN™
This is the more than 51 DEGREES temperature difference between the bedroom and the upper deck — right outside the sliding doors. It will drop to 19F tonight - even colder with wind chill.
The humidity outside is 32% because we had snow on Monday. The air is dry inside with humidity of just 19% - and that is with two humidifiers running full-time.
I can’t sleep well if it’s too warm inside. So, as the outside drops to 19F my bedroom temperature will have automatically slid to about 69F. Even then the temperature gradient will be 50 degrees. And it’s not even the middle of winter yet!
What is your preferred temperature for sleeping in winter and in summer?

Imagine if you were unable to touch or kiss your newborn baby. This is an ordeal thousands of families, whose child arrives too soon, too small or too sick, are forced to go through each year.
•There is a shortage of 1,150 nurses to care for the 70,000 babies in need of specialist hospital care in England. Less than a third of units have enough nurses to meet minimum standards.
•Neonatal units are working way above recommended occupancy levels meaning there is no safety net for peaks in the number of babies being admitted to units.
•Families of babies admitted to specialist hospital care face a crippling financial strain on top of the normal costs of having a new baby.
•Over half of parents face the prospect of not being able to stay near their baby in hospital due to a shortage of overnight rooms for families.
Cake A Difference is the annual fundraising initiative from Bliss, the special care baby charity. Bliss offers guidance and information at a critical time in families' lives, funds ground-breaking research and campaigns for babies to receive the best possible level of care regardless of when and where they are born.

Blue Damsel Fly ( Bluish /purple )
Differences between Damselflies and Dragonflies
Dragonflies are generally big with a thick, either tubular of slightly flattened 'tail' (abdomen) and broad wings, broadest where they meet the 'body' (thorax). They have huge compound eyes which take up much of their face. The eyes join in the middle on top of the head. A good look at the face will reveal a gruesome set of jaws!
Damselflies are smaller, and are dainty, elegant insects. They have a long, thin, tubular abdomen, narrow wings, narrowest where they meet the thorax, and large eyes (although much smaller than dragonflies) which protrude from the sides of the head, almost as if on stalks. To me they look like a hammer head; )
One further difference is the way they hold their wings. Dragonflies almost always have their wings spread fully open, and can be found perching on vegetation, often hanging vertically. Damselflies habitually close their wings when at rest and hold them over their 'backs'. One damselfly, the Emerald Damselfly, usually holds its wings open at 45 degrees.
P. S. I love purple , but this is the true color of this Damselfly.. Just cropped the photo..
Die evangelisch-lutherische Basilika Altenkrempe, einem Dorf nördlich von Neustadt in Holstein, ist eine dreischiffige Basilika im Stil der Backsteinromanik. Die Datierung des Baubeginns ist nicht gesichert, da Baudaten nicht überliefert sind. Aufgrund der Ähnlichkeiten zum Ratzeburger Dom und der Verwendung des Baumittels Backstein ist eine Datierung des ersten Bauabschnitts auf den Anfang des 13. Jahrhunderts anzunehmen. Die Basilika gilt als architektonisches Vorbild für die Nikolaikirche in Mölln. Unterschiede in der Bauausführung zeigen, dass zwischen Errichtung von Chor und Langhaus einige Zeit vergangen sein muss. Viel von der mittelalterlichen Ausstattung ist nicht mehr vorhanden, da die Ausstattung barock überarbeitet wurde. Das älteste Ausstattungsstück der Basilika ist das Taufbecken aus dem 13. Jahrhundert. Die Pokalform ist für mittelalterliche Bronzenfünten in Schleswig-Holstein einmalig. Die Bronzekuppa steht auf einem Sockel aus gotländischem Kalkstein. Das größte der in die Kuppa eingelassenen goldenen Medaillons zeigt eine Kreuzigungsgruppe, die übrigen Apostel. Die übrige Kirchenausstattung stammt aus nachreformatorischer Zeit. Die Kanzel ist auf 1687 datiert. In den Brüstungsfeldern des vierseitigen Kanzelkorbes stehen geschnitzte Evangelistenfiguren im manieristischen Stil. Der sechseckige Schalldeckel wird von einer Figur des Salvators bekrönt. Das barocke Altarretabel von 1741 hat in seiner Mitte ein Gemälde von etwa 1900, das Christus zeigt.

The Protestant-Lutheran basilica at Altenkrempe, a village north of Neustadt in Holstein, is a three-aisled basilica in the brick Romanesque style. The dating of the start of construction is not certain, as construction dates have not survived. Due to the similarities to Ratzeburg Cathedral and the use of brick as a building material, the first construction phase can be dated to the beginning of the 13th century. The basilica is considered to be the architectural model for the St Nicholas' Church in Mölln. Differences in the construction show that some time must have passed between the construction of the choir and nave. Much of the medieval furnishings no longer exist, as the furnishings were reworked in the Baroque style. The oldest piece of equipment in the basilica is the baptismal font from the 13th century. The cup shape is unique for medieval bronze fonts in Schleswig-Holstein. The bronze font stands on a pedestal made of Gothic limestone. The largest of the golden medallions set into the font shows a crucifixion group, the others apostles. The rest of the church furnishings date from the post-Reformation period. The pulpit is dated 1687. The spandrels of the four-sided pulpit basket contain carved figures of evangelists in the Mannerist style. The hexagonal sounding board is crowned by a figure of the Saviour. The Baroque altarpiece from 1741 has a painting of Christ from around 1900 in its centre.
Thanks to Kim for putting this diptych together.
The bird with pink on the right is a Turkey Vulture (Cathartes aura). It is a common, almost abundant species along the Texas Gulf Coast plains. The bird on the left is a Black Vulture (Coragyps atratus) - not the same species as Black Vulture in the Old World. As you can see the head and neck are featherless with the skin being grey and wrinkled. Like Turkey Vulture, the Black Vulture is also reasonably frequent along the Gulf Coast.
The two species were actually photographed with a few yards of each other. Both are scavengers, cleaning up nature's carcasses.
"Le differenze tra le persone sono un dato di fatto. Questo è ciò che rende ogni persona unica, ciò che rende il nostro mondo un luogo così incredibilmente variegato, come un giardino in cui sbocciano a profusione fiori di ogni genere. Questo è il motivo per cui non solo dobbiamo ammettere che le persone sono diverse, ma dobbiamo anche rispettarle ed imparare gli uni dagli altri".

I took this photo near Santiago de Compostela (Spain).
As you can see in this case, I didn't change at all the composition
of the initial shot (below). I just slightly modified the contrasts. I like
how everything is inverted, even the perspective (the sheep in the
background looking bigger than the 3 ones in the foreground...)

I've started secondary school! It's senior year 1, and all professors are saying we'll have tons of HW, and this, and that...
Arg. Can't stand it anymore, and I haven't been there for a WEEK.
I have some ideas I'd like to execute, again, but i never get to. Just like the last time. Guess I have to start focusing on this a little more. I nagivate through Flickr more than I check my own boat.
Ok, don't know were that came from. Woah, I'm such a poet (?
Nevermind. I've seen Adele's concert at Royal Albert Hall. She is such an impressive woman. And funny, too! I haven't seen many like her who say the F word normally. Love her laugh :)
SOOOO, don't know what to write! Am, just knw there'll be better pics soon, and, well, happy March 4th :)

The rear end of the Commuter required a complete restructuring to achieve the new arrangement.
This was done using two Eclipse roof sections - the second donating just its lower rear end piece which was grafted on to increase the height.
Light details etc will be added by the client once he has applied the final livery.
This photo shows the very different look of the two versions.

This shot was taken with Velvia 50. It is amazing the difference between what this film does and what digital captures. The color in this shot just amazes me.
What a difference three days can make!

EDIT : Upon further review, I noticed some pedipalps. This dudette is a dude!
I last photographed this ornate orbweaver on the 19th, and he was so small that I could barely see him. Today, when I went to check up on him, he had literally doubled in size! This is due to the way that spiders grow in general.
Spiders undergo a molting process when they grow too large for their carapace. When the undersized exterior is sloughed off, they begin pumping hemolymph (bug blood!) to stretch the still-soft exoskeleton underneath. This means that a single molt can sometimes result in a 30-40% overall growth, and it's often most visible in the abdomen!

The scope of the Astrobel / Paramount 4000 conversion is illustrated quite well in this photo.
A great deal of work involved, but a rather pleasing outcome. Final livery is being applied by the client.
Iandra Castle. George and Elizabeth Greene were settlers with a difference when they purchased their 32,000 acre property in 1878. They built their first homestead named Mount Oriel House in 1880. Greene was a NSW politician and a man with ideas. By the time he died in 1911 his Mount Oriel estate had over 20,000 acres sown in crop. His obituary said he came to a landscape of bush and transformed it into a granary. His estate used 700 horses and employed over 600 people plus various chaffcutters, thrashers etc and the woolshed sheared 30,000 sheep. He came to NSW in 1847 with his parents and spent most of his life on pastoral properties before he purchased Iandra. He dreamed of a medieval feudal system to grow vast areas of crop with little labour. He was regarded as the most important wheat farmer in Australia along with William Farrer who developed his rust resistant wheat type. Greene claims to have introduced the concept of share farming to Australia. He provided the land and took half of the value of the crop but the share farmer bought the seed, fertiliser and provided the labour to sow and reap the crop. But did he? Share cropping was common in the American south after the Civil War and Elizabeth Onlsow (nee MacArthur of Camden Park NSW) introduced share farming on their dairy property in 1887. Greene established his village with houses for the fifty sharefarmers contracted to work his lands. He started with one share farmer in 1891 and gradually expanded the system. His estate manager, named Leonard l’Anson came from Waterloo in South Australia and members of the Freebairn family from Alma in SA also moved to Iandra to be share farmers. George Greene wanted a medieval castle like a medieval lord. Iandra castle was built in 1908 with 57 rooms, castellations and towers but the construction was decidedly modern with reinforced concrete walls. The style was slightly Gothic but the interior was very Edwardian with wood panelling and Art Nouveau stained glass panels etc. The external concrete was rendered to appear like stone. It cost around £63,000 to build. The property included stables, a manager’s residence, outbuildings, blacksmith shop, sheds etc. Near the house was a chapel built in 1886 and a cemetery. When George Greene died in 1911 he was buried there. The estate was partially broken up in 1914 and most share farmers were able to buy their 640 acre blocks. I’Anson continued as manager for Elizabeth Greene until her death in 1927. He was then able to buy 2,500 acres and the castle. Later Iandra castle was used as the Methodist Boys Home from 1954 to 1974. The Methodist Boys Farm School was for 15 to 18 year old first time offenders. They were taught farming skills. The Methodist Church sold the centre in 1974.
Technical ability aside, the difference is commitment. Some people look at whatever they do as a job and then they want to be good craftsmen. Then there are people who do it as a passion. They really care about it., and it shows in their photographs.
