...I'm back!
Questa meta certo non è invitante
eppure chissà come mai non faccio che essere attratto
da essa...
(This goal.. well it's not so appealing
and yet, dunno why, I continue to be captured
by it...)

I tweaked this map from another goal-setting map, so I can't take all the credit. But I hope it motivates you to aim for something this coming month of May! Or even this week...
In the 1960s Ferrari's Prototipo 'P series' sports car racers proved highly successful in terms of races won and imaginations captured. Of course speed rather than beauty was the goal of these cars, yet the two were seemingly inexorable at a time when intuition was a guiding principle. The P4, designed by Mauro Forghieri and William Casoli was both a zenith and nadir of the genre – perhaps the most beautiful, yet also increasingly outdated at a time when aerodynamics were coming to the fore.
And so Ferrari commissioned Pininfarina to explore advanced aerodynamics for the 250 P5. Young recruit Leonardo Fioravanti was chosen to design the car because of his mechanical engineering education at the Politecnico di Milano where his studies focused on aerodynamics and car body design.
Revealed at the 1968 Geneva motor show, the P5 won immediate acclaim for its futuristic design, even if some Ferrari purists grumbled at its perceived departure from Ferrari design orthodoxy. Built on P4 chassis number 0862, the two-seat coupe featured a three-litre V12 engine mounted in its tail. A walk around the brilliant white car (later repainted red) revealed a design composed of intersecting convex and concave volumes, its ovoid masses contrasting with deeply scalloped recesses for vents and wheel wells.

A walk around the brilliant white car (later repainted red) revealed a design composed of intersecting convex and concave volumes, its ovoid masses contrasting with deeply scalloped recesses for vents and wheel wells.
The design featured a low, concave front fascia with a narrow slot for ventilation for the radiator. Just above this, integrated into the hood, was a bank of headlamps. Flanking this front assembly were pontoon-like fairings for the front wheels. It seems Enzo Ferrari was not overly impressed with this, referring to it as the “suppository”.
More successful were the Dino-like ventilation scoops with flow vanes integrated into the openings while at the rear a strong character line outlines the top of the wheel opening and then ascends and curves across the deck lid. Underneath this somewhat duck-tailed assembly, a strong composition of horizontal vanes covers the tail-lights and engine ventilation openings. It's clearly a theme Fioravanti was proud of as it was to reappear on his later Testarossa.
The upper body was almost entirely formed of a transparent teardrop canopy, its gullwing doors revealing a spartan composition of two seats, driving controls and little else. Seats were minimally ergonomic and the headrests are built into the firewall that separates the cabin from the engine compartment.
A Gentlemen’s Agreement
As popular as the P5 was on the car show circuit, changing racing rules and the complex and ever-developing programmes at Ferrari soon meant the P5 would not be developed further. Indeed, Fioravanti and his team were already working on a successor, the P6.
As it slowly became public knowledge that P5 was not to be a part of Modena’s future, an unusual request came to Enzo Ferrari from his longtime friend and associate, Dr. Giuseppe Luraghi, Chairman of Alfa Romeo. If Ferrari was not to continue the development of the P5, would he cede the project to his company to develop further? In a move that would be unheard of today, Il Commendatore granted the request.

To all those teams who are through to the last 16 well done and good luck for the next round. This pelican did the diski dance for us while he was feeding - was this Oezil or Defoe?

1) Get this room neatened up.
2) Actually KNIT something. I can knit, but I have not actually knitted anything.
3) Build my sewing skills. I learned to sew finally, now I need to get good at it.
4) Do some beadwork. I have been a beader for more than 1/2 my life, I was beading before I was a wife and mother, but I took a hiatus for my baby boy in 2012. Now I would like to start beading again.
5) Learn to embrace my inner goth girl. I will say I don't like goth dolls, except sometimes -- I do. Why fight it?
6) Pay cash for everything. I have just gotten all the credit cards paid off and I feel SO FREE, do not use credit, just pay for it. I am not in the habit of putting toys on credit, but there's this newly empty plastic now. JUST DON'T.
7) Always, be a better wife, mom and child of God.
Liverpool winger Albert Riera (out of shot) smashes the ball beyond the diving Preston goalkeeper Andy Lonergan as it hits the back of the net, in the FA Cup 3rd Round match played at Deepdale, Preston between Preston North End and Liverpool. The goal, scored mid way through the first half was deserved as Liverpool dominated the first hour.
Preston came back strong but failed to score and eventually Fernando Torres scored a 2nd goal for Liverpool in the last few seconds of the game to secure a 2-0 win for the Premiership team.

I am posting two hockey photos today. Just for a trial, I took my wide angle lens to the game instead of my usual 70-200. The only viable spot to shoot from with that lens was from behind the net. I did get some shots that I wouldn't get with the telephoto, but I don't think I will do it again, or not often, certainly.
One shot was a close-up of the immediate goal celebration and the other the intensity of the game with both players battling with sticks high in the air while the puck is below. I imagine that they both swatted at the moving puck and missed. The two photos were taken relatively close together with the goal celebration actually being the first. After the faceoff, they must have charged down the ice again and had another close call.
The number, 5, tells me that it was the same boy in both photos. I just shoot the action and seldom know whom I am photographing.
Note: Off in the left corner the referee is signaling goal by pointing. I seldom catch this. For that matter, I seldom capture the sticks raised in celebration either, for I have a nasty habit of looking up and not keeping my finger de[pressed on the shutter button.

The goal is to have this session done and blogged by tomorrow. Maybe if I state it here, I'll actually get it done. So many interruptions.... For those interested, the texture is Paved from my texture pack 4.
Goals for 2012
I was tagged by Solarsenshi
Rules of the tag :
- Create a list of 5 to 12 goals about the dolls for 2012.
- Create an another list of 5 to 12 goals also about yourself.
- Tag 9 peoples or more.
Doll:
1.Complete the move into the big doll room, once everything is set up make sure everything stays organized. Take pictures.
2. Keep better track of dolly spending, write down all my doll related expenses in the notebook I bought especially for this purpose. Don't forget to write things down :p
3. Buy less dolls than last year especially Pullip, off to a good start as I haven't bought any Pullips yet this year... I may be in the process of buying two Lati Yellows though ^^;
4. Get caught up and keep up with the new Pullip releases, try to resist impulse buys and focus on getting the new releases I still need and customs!
5. Focus on completing dolls, rather than acquiring more also focus on completing projects before starting any new ones. I have a laundry list of clothes/wigs/shoes/eyes I need to complete dolls especially my bjds. Try not to add any customs to the do list unless I free up a slot either by completing a project or giving up on it... My major custom goal for the year is to have a Joker made by Requiemart.
6. Don't neglect to photograph the bjds and dollfie dreams, I still have two bjds I have never photographed and it's been forever since I have attempted any form of a group photo.
7. 366 doll project Already failed this, I'm working a lot more hours now so unfortunately I don't have much free time for anything at the moment. So I will try and take more pictures in general instead!
Self
1. Update my blog more, my goal had been three times a week but due to crazy work hours at the moment I'm lucky if I am able to squeeze one in a week at the moment ^^;
2. Try not to start collecting anything new this year.
3. Work on photography!
4. Make it through the zilla daddy's upcoming military deployment unscathed ie. no floods/fires in the apartment which would seem like a realistic goal until you realize I start a fire every time I try to cook something >__<
I don't real comfortable tagging people so if anyone wants to do this and hasn't done it yet feel free.
