2020 Lamborghini Adventador SVJ Coupe
With wild-looking bodywork and dramatic performance, the 2020 Lamborghini Aventador is spectacular in every sense of the word. It's also the last of a dying breed, with hybrid technology expected to enhance future iterations of the V-12 supercar. Still, this wedge-shaped, scissor-doored Lambo blasts into the sunset with neck-snapping acceleration and a maniacal exhaust note.
The 2020 Aventador powertrain hierarchy begins with a mid-mounted naturally aspirated 6.5-liter V-12 that develops 730 horsepower and 509 lb-ft of torque that is transmitted to the wheels via a seven-speed automated-manual transmission. This basic setup is shared among the three distinct variants, but the track-focused SVJ (which stands for Superveloce Jota) has various enhancements that unlock extra horsepower and torque that meet the pavement through all four wheels. We drove this brutally powerful monster—along with its roofless counterpart—and experienced their tremendous acceleration and kidney-crushing cornering forces firsthand. The hefty machines heaved through the corners, but their incredible grip and rear-steering system helped it change direction.

Thank you for visiting, and for your kind comments and faves. They are greatly appreciated!
Sori are the spore-producing structures of ferns. Typically they are found on the back of fern leaves but in this case they are lining the edge of a kydney fern. The fern is distinctive for its undivided, kidney-shaped fronds, which give the plant its English common name. Hymenophyllum nephrophyllum is a fern species endemic to New Zealand where it occurs on the floor of moist forests. The photo is an in-camera focus stack. f 8, 1/100sec, Olympus 60mm macro lens f 2.8.

This larva, spotted by Rockwolf, had recently shed its skin & was still rather pale, giving it this shiny orange head.

Quite typically, after not seeing any all year, until I saw some at The Bog, I saw more last Sunday!

Was really pleased to see this species, as it wasn't until August that I saw any last year! There were dozens of them in a conifer hedge!

The kidney bean with its dark red skin is named for its visual resemblance to a kidney. The kidney bean is also known as the red bean, although this usage can cause confusion with other red beans. Red kidney beans (rājmā in Hindi and Punjabi) are an integral part of the cuisine in northern region of India.

Pakistan Kidney Sellers Association Chairman, 25-year-old Pakistani Iqbal Zafar (3R) and three other villagers, show their scars after they each sold a kidney to pay off debts in Sultan Pur, Pakistan. As the illegal kidney trade gets rampant in Pakistan, the country's legal experts are giving final touches to a draft law that will curb the dirty business said senior official on Sunday 29 January 2006. The money earned by the poor donors is used for a variety of purposes including marriages, house building, loan repayments, drug abuse or simply to have a good time. Many Pakistani hospitals, which provide transplant facilities, have hundreds of donors listed with them, offering a transplant to anyone who can pay 5,000 to 6,000 dollars. EPA/OLIVIER MATTHYS

We're still treating Darla's kidney disease with subcutaneious fluids and a special diet. Although she doesn't look too happy here, she is doing fantastic. The strange thing is that Darla has never been that interested in any kind of food but I don't know if its the fluids or the special diet, but she's the first one running to the bowl lately.
