Project 365 ~ Dislikes (weak coffee)
ODC and ODT ~ Coffee/Tea
I have to have strong coffee to get me going. I don't like it with cream or sugar. Make it black...the stronger the better.
294/365
When the joys of living just leave you cold
Frozen from the failing mess you've made your own
And if you want an ending to your screenplay life
Well here's the consolation that will change your heart and mind
All the glitz Messiah's just pass the time
A cure for no real sickness, cross your hopes and die
Your supermarket Jesus comes with smiles and lies
Where justice he delays is always justice he denies
This will make you love again
This will make you love again
This will make you love again
This will make you love again
And now you save
Love again
To feel the rays
Love again
The sweet delays
Love again
And shoot the breeze
Early Thursday mornings, wipe away the flies
The crossfire fight for action in between your thighs
Every touch is sacred, when they leave the room
If I have to switch the lights off, I wanna switch them off with you
This will make you love again
This will make you love again
This will make you love again
This will make you love again
And now you save
Love again
To feel the rays
Love again
The sweet delays
Love again
And shoot the breeze
Love again

I guess the first day of the year is a good time to reflect on the past year. For me the year of 2013 was rather extraordinary and satisfying in my life as a female! I hope to push the envelope even further this coming year and enjoy just being me! Here are some of the highlights that stand out to me upon refection.;
- Started off 2013 on a low note. Not feeling so good about myself. I was the heaviest I have ever been, not feeling as feminine because of that and not taking as many pictures or going out as much.
- At the end of April decided I was going to slim down, take better care of my body with exercise, and take better care of my now aging skin and face!
- By June 1st I had lost 25 pounds, was in better shape, felt way more energy, and best of all was feeling much more feminine!
- Around August 1st I reached a goal that I wasn't sure I could make. I had lost 50 pounds (to date my total has been 53 pounds) and was feeling high as a kite! I started going out and doing a lot of shopping to get new clothes that fit. I felt better about being Lisa and I was thrilled as some of the women and girls that I knew in the stores gave me kudos on my new appearance.
- I started going out socially a lot more, in fact more than I had in many years! I could set my own work schedules now and took advantage to the max in being a party girl! The big difference from going out when I lived in NY was that I was now going to mostly mainstream venues and being accepted pretty well!
- I started being more open in social settings and even initiating conversations and introducing myself and found that a lot of people really do like Lisa and were interested in hearing about her and getting to know her. I started building friendships with women and widening my choice of people to include in Lisa's life in generally.
- I went out on dates with 5 different women during the second half of the year as Lisa and really enjoyed that! I used to be so guarded and wouldn't ask them out in previous years. I was ecstatic that they wanted to go out with me and get to know me better!
- I was actually offered 2 jobs to work as Lisa during this period! ( I haven't talked much about that but thought I should throw it in right here! I didn't accept either one but it did get my mind spinning with ideas!)
- I joined 2 singles groups and went to 4 single get together functions as Lisa. Although nervous at first, I was warmly greeted and had a ball. I was interested in meeting women but did get a lot of interest from men at these parties which made my ego feel good that I was still attractive enough to attract their interest!
- In October I spent 8 straight days around Halloween in total girl mode, every second of those days! I had such a good time and went to 4 Halloween parties, 2 in costume and 2 just dressed as a regular woman!
- Went golfing as Lisa! Yay!
- This was the year that I made up my mind to just put everything out there and not hide any of my feminine side and I am so glad I did! I have to tell you girls that the acceptance out there is more plentiful than you think so get out there and enjoy being who you always wanted to be!

The above photo was taken on a date night with a cool friend at a very posh restaurant dressed very elegantly. I have to admit that I felt so good and believe I was the "it girl" out of the whole restaurant and after dinner in the lounge area so many people came over to say hello and compliment me on my look, how I carried myself, and of course on my lovely dress!

Somewhat of a fixture in one's peripheral vision while driving, have driven past it for about 40 years. Almost wrecked craning my neck to see it, as it was not noticeable. Stopped on the return trip and grabbed the pile of wood pic. Like loosing an old passing acquaintance. Sadly it appears to be making way for apartments, civilization is getting way to close.
A big success by any standard both in and out of competition, the Lancia Stratos was developed as a homologation Special for European rallying. After production ceased it became a cult car and is now highly priced as the ‘modern classis' it is. Conceived strictly for rallying, the Lancia Stratos however makes an exciting road car, though it is very far from GT standards in both luxury and refinement.
The concept vehicle responsible for providing the inspiration for the Lancia Stratos Rally car is the Lancia (Bertone) Stratos. The Stratos featured a 1584 cc V4 DOHC with 115 bhp horsepower at 200 rpm. Designed by Marcello Gandini, the same designer responsible for the Lamborghini Countach and Lamborghini Miura, the Stratos concept was a development of the Bertone designed Alfa Romeo Carabo concept from 1968. The Carabo concept was also a Gandini creation.
First revealed at the Turin Motor Show in October of 1970, the Lancia Stratos HF prototype was a styling exercise for Bertone. A futuristic design, the Stratos featured a wedge shaped profile that stood just 33 inches from the ground. Since the vehicle was so low, conventional doors could not be used and instead one accessed the interior of the Stratos by a hinged windscreen. Drivers had to flip up the windscreen and walk into the vehicle. Once inside, visibility was quite restricted since the front windscreen was narrow. The cockpit of the Lancia Stratos was designed specifically for fast forest flying.
The body design was predictably minimal to hold down weight and bulk with its most distinctive features being semi-concealed A-pillars and a door beltline that sharply upswept to the top of the daylight opening. The shape of the resulting unbroken expanse of glass gave the tunnelback roof the appearance of a futuristic crash helmet.
The main body structure was steel, like the chassis, and weight-saving fiberglass was used for tilt-up nose and tail sections. A small box above and behind the powertrain was where cargo space was held. Bins were also molded into the interior door panels for storing helmets.
The same engine utilized on the Lancia 1600 HF Fulvia was used on the Bertone designed Lancia Stratos Zero prototype. A triangular shaped panel hinged upwards to allow access to the mid-mounted engine. Developed for rallying purposes, the legendary Lancia Stratos was unveiled in 1974. The production vehicle Stratos was powered by a 2.4 liter mid-mounted V6 from the Ferrari Dino.
Like no other Lancia before or after, the Lancia Stratos was a shock that left enthusiasts and rally fans breathless. For almost a decade the Stratos streaked across the rally landscape much like a brilliant comet, while discarding past principles, it also fearlessly represented something undeniably new. A phenomenal rally car, the Lancia Stratos set an example to every other car manufacturer in the world. The first viable purpose-built rally car ever built, the Stratos was probably the last purpose-built rally car.
Created by the Bertone coachbuilding company, the Stratos was both radical, yet fully functional. Fiorio realized that for Lancia to continue to compete in the World Rally Championship, the Fulvia HF would need a much more powerful replacement. A the time, four-wheel drive was not an option, so a mid-engined configuration seemed ideal. To reinforce Fiori's convictions, the Bertone show car was featured soon after with a mid-engine Fulvia V4.
The introduction of the Ford mid-engine purpose-built GT70 rally car at the 1971Brussels Motor Show was what truly inspired the impetus behind the Stratos proect. It was after this appearance that Lancia's general manager, Pierugo Gobbato contacted Nuccio Bertone. Though the GT70 was actually never put in production by Ford, it was this that sparked the inspiration of the Lancia Stratos.
As always, there was a minimum production requirement, 500 units for the Lancia Stratos. This was an awkward figure that would necessitate funds for at least semi-permanent tooling as well as design and development. This was a job well suited to the Italian industry. Fiorio masterminded the project, and he envisioned a short, wide coupe with transverse midships drivetrain. Bertone was immediately contracted to style the vehicle and built its unit body/chassis structure.
43 months passed in between the time of conception to the actual birth of the Lancia Stratos. The vehicle was developed to take over and make Lancia the outright world rally champ. The Stratos was both short and wide, with a wheelbase of only 7 feet 1.8 inches, the width of the vehicle was only 5 feet 8.9 inches. Weighing only 1958 lbs, the Stratos was only 3 feet 7.9 inches high. Able to easily exceed 140 mph, the Stratos featured 190 horsepower in roadgoing trim.
Having studied every possible powerteam in the Fiat/Lancia group, Fiorio secured 2.4 liter V-6s and 5-speed transaxles from Ferrari, which was an ideal chouse as they'd be installed exactly as the Dino 246. All-independent suspension, rack-and-pinion steering and four-wheel disc brakes were all specifically designed for the Lancia Stratos.
After 1978 the Stratos was officially retired and no longer was officially entered by the Lancia factory, the vehicle was still going strong. The Lancia team was headed by by Sandro Munari who won its first event as a homologated entry in October of 1974. Mun ari entered alone 40 events with the Lancia Stratos and won 14. The Stratos also won the World Rally Championship in 1974, 1975, and 1976 and remained competitive for another four years. The final major win came in 1979 when a Lancia Stratos entered by the Monaco importer won the famed Monte Carlo Rally. Finally the factory retired the Stratos.

This Lego miniland-scale Lancia Stratos Rally Racer has been created for Flickr LUGNuts' 100th Build Challenge - our Centenary, titled 'One Hundred Ways to Win!'. In this challenge, a list of 100 challenges is available, kept by the admins. Individuals wishing to enter, request a number from 1-100 (so long as it has not already been requested) - and the admins assign the individual build challenge associated with that number.
In the case of admins entering models - they request that a general LUGNuts member assigns a number - and the admin must build to that challenge number.
In this case, the number 78 was chosen for me, corresponding to the challenge: '78.Any vehicle from the year you were born'. I was born in 1972, the year that the first Stratos rally cars were built, entering in the Rally Championship as Group 5 (un-homologated) entries.
The road cars required to homologate for Group 4 were built through 1973 to 1978.
As can be seen in some of the images here, not only does the car open and close (a real challenge when you look at the chassis), but it also uses the Lego Group RC Rollerskate - so it can zoom around under its own power.
