From Road and Travel (http://www.roadandtravel.com/roadtests/firstimpressions/2007/jeep-wrangler.htm) -
There is no graceful way to climb up and into a Jeep Wrangler. The angles are awkward, the height is high and the interior is anything but plush and comfortable. This, I realized, as I hiked myself up and behind the vehicle’s steering wheel around five o'clock on a Friday afternoon, incidentally dressed in a rather restricting skirt.
My first thought: This is not my type of vehicle. Yes, I look for function and practicality in a vehicle – and the Wrangler Sahara embodies both of these traits; but what it lacked, in my opinion, was the necessary ease associated with handling daily errands and long weekend drives. Wrangler’s rugged capabilities weren’t priority on my checklist of car
must-haves.
And then, on my long weekend drive to Bay City, Michigan, rain began to patter against the Wrangler’s windshield as I was cruising the expressway at 70 mph. After a few minutes, it fell harder, then harder yet, until the wipers were whipping to and fro at max speed. The windshield, which moments earlier seemed irritatingly close to my face and extremely vertical, was now a godsend, offering a close and clear view of lane markers, despite inclement weather.
The height of the muscular truck, which had before seemed cumbersome and distinctly guy-oriented, was now an attribute that I was thankful for – perched high enough above neighboring drivers to see what lay before me on the expressway.
As I drove, I counted the redeeming qualities of the Red Rock painted Wrangler Sahara, nipping my initial perceptions of the vehicle in the bud, one by one.
It was maneuverable, offering the height and function of a truck, without the dragging weight of a bed in back. It was roomy, offering four doors, five seats and plenty of cargo space with a clean interior too - no nonsense gadgets or unnecessary frills. It was safe, offering multi-stage front air bags, optional seat-mounted side air bags, Brake Assist, Electronic Stability, Electronic Roll Mitigation, ABS and side-impact door beams.
And one characteristic that nobody can deny – the new Wrangler carries on the classic sport attitude traditionally associated with Jeep. In it, one can’t help allowing a bit of the fun-loving, off-road attitude of Wrangler to rub off on them - especially if it's warm enough to ride minus the Freedom Top (Jeep's 3-piece modular hard top).
I had conformed. I may not be heading off to the next Camp Jeep or slapping on a “If you can read this, flip me over” bumper sticker, but I had grown a soft spot for the Wrangler Sahara that made my would-have-been taunting drive one of ease.
Switching on the high beams and considering the stability of the slightly frozen farm ground surrounding us, I turned to my passenger, who raised an eyebrow to my mischievous grin.
“Interested in a little off-roading?” I asked.

Tech wear is a style of clothing that focuses on functionality and utility above all else. While aesthetics are still important, they take a backseat to features like durability, comfort, and practicality.

This antique Japanese bedding sheet is made up of five panels of indigo kasuri (ikat) cotton. Available to buy here: www.etsy.com/transaction/96723737 Likely to have been made at home during the Meiji / Taisho era. It has been well looked after with a number of hand stitched boro* patches. As can be seen, four of the five panels appear more grey than the fifth panel which is a light blue. Large: 168cm x 158cm Antique Japanese folk textile typical of the utilitarian indigo fabrics of the era. *Boro means scrap/rag of cloth and is also used to describe this category of collectible textile. The principles of "yuyo no bi" (beauty of practicality) and "mottai nai" (no waste) are fundamental to these folk textiles.
I live in Australia, near the beach (actually, fairly close to the famous Bell's Beach).
During the 1970s the growing Surfing culture flowed over into automotive design here in Australia. The result was the Panel Van - these were developed from the local large rear-drive cars built here, using the Coupe-Utility as a base, but enclosing the rear load area with a high-roof. The rear panel behind the seats was also removed, allowing access to the converted load area.
Great for surfing, and camping by the beach. Great for a cuddle with a pretty girl too, and hence the colloquial name 'shaggin-wagon' was coined.
This practicality, along with the bad-boy image made these the must-have car for the young man. Particularly if you lived near a beach.
The two companies Ford and Holden dominated the market, but a strong third was Chrysler Australia, Their local large car was developed from the 1960s Valiant, and the Panel Van version was known as the Sundowner.
I have applied the classic Sundowner graphic to what could have been a great retro product from the early 2000s Chrysler catalog, the PT Cruiser. With a longer wheelbase, 2-door-only, and panel van blanked windows, this would make the perfect low-cost surfing wagon for a new generation.

THE BMW ISETTA
Popular during the 1950s and 1960s, the diminutive 'bubble car' or 'cabin scooter' is currently enjoying a revival of interest - not surprisingly given the congested state of today's urban roads. Nowadays though, the Bubble's attraction has just as much to do with fashion as practicality. One of the more successful designs of the cabin scooter's heyday was the BMW Isetta, a design the German firm manufactured under license from its Italian originator Iso. The name means 'little Iso'. Renzo Rivoltas Iso was not selling well in its native Italy, faced with stiff competition from the FIAT 500 and 600, and it would be left to BMW to fully exploit the design's potential.
Although at first glance a three-wheeler, the German-built Isetta used a pair of closely spaced wheels at the rear and was powered by a BMW single-cylinder four-stroke motorcycle engine of 247cc, replacing the original's noisy two-stroke motor. The coachwork of early examples featured a side-hinged single door at the front, roll-top sunroof, and fixed side windows, while the steering wheel and dashboard were attached to the door to facilitate entry. The two-seater Isettas most popular accessory, understandably so given the limited interior space, was a small luggage rack mounted at the rear. Later (1957-onwards) models incorporated sliding side windows for better ventilation. These improved models displaced 297cc, and the 'big' Isetta 300 was reckoned capable of 65mph and 55mpg. Approximately 162,000 Isetta's had been made by the time production ceased in 1962.
THE MOTORCAR OFFERED
The BMW Isetta 300 is considered to be one of the most iconic 'bubblecars' of its era. This particular Isetta is an extraordinary example featuring a complete restoration by who many believe is the best in the business. 501305 was sent to Woodstock, Georgia so that Werner Schwark from Isettas R US can perform one of his world class restorations. A very complete, low-mileage and matching numbers candidate was chosen; shortly thereafter the restoration was performed in 2018-2019 and finished in its original color combination. Since completion, only 17 miles have been recorded on the odometer. The car is equipped with a rear luggage rack, air vents and stylish Coco mats. Accompanied by its file, rear basket, as well some documentation of the restoration, this charming microcar is sure to provide its next custodian with enjoyment.
As this writer can testify, an Isetta provides enjoyment both for its driver and those that you pass on the road. This is a great example with which to experience this 'bubble' car legend.

The Hilton Cincinnati Netherland Plaza hotel opened in 1931 and is a National Historic Landmark and charter member of Historic Hotels of America. This Cincinnati hotel features breathtaking French Art Deco that has been restored to its 1930's grandeur. With rare Brazilian rosewood paneling, indirect German silver-nickel light fixtures and soaring ceiling murals, our historic Cincinnati hotel is one of the world's finest examples of French Art Deco.
The plans for the Carew Tower and Netherland Plaza Hotel were announced in August 1929 and the project was completed in January 1931. The financing for the buildings came from the Emery family, which had made its fortune in processing the by-products of Cincinnati’s stockyards. John Emery hired Walter W. Ahlschlager and Colonel William Starrett for the construction. Starrett was known as the builder of the Lincoln Memorial and the Empire State Building. Ahlschlager designed the Peabody Hotel in Memphis, Tennessee and the Hotel Intercontinental in Chicago.
The Carew Tower and Netherland Plaza Hotel were designed to be a “city within a city.” The concept was new in 1929 but Cincinnati were willing to gamble that the combination of shops, department stores, offices and hotel would work. The practicality was made apparent again in 1990 when the Belvedere Corporation invested in the re-development of the Carew Tower Shopping Arcade and Office Tower, featuring a collection of shops, restaurants, a 13,000 square feet fitness center complete with lap pool, and 500,000 square feet of office space.
Emery’s vision of the Carew Tower led him to make some bold financial moves - which worked in his favor. Emery had approached the bank to underwrite financing for the “city within a city” project. The bank did not share the vision of the multi-purpose facility and declined the loan. Emery sold all of his stocks and securities, despite advice from his financial advisors. The plans and financing for the Carew Tower were in place, and then the stock market crashed. Had Emery left his stocks and securities tied up in the stock market, he would have lost everything. But instead, with his money going toward the building of Carew Tower, the project could continue as planned. In fact, the construction project became one of the city’s largest employers.
As the construction on the hotel came to a close, the name St. Nicholas Plaza was selected. Just before the grand opening, the Cincinnati Realty Company (operators of the Hotel Sinton) filed an injunction against the new hotel’s name claiming that it had purchased the rights to the St. Nicholas name when the old St. Nicholas Hotel closed years before. Having invested heavily into the monogramming of linens, china, silverware and stationery, the new hotel’s name was quickly changed to St. Netherland Plaza. The St. came from Starrett’s (for the builder), the Netherland came from the thought that the hotel occupied the space between the Ohio River and the hills, and Plaza was from the original choice. The name was abbreviated to “St. NP.” Eventually, the “St.” was dropped and “Netherland Plaza” is the name that is now famous.
When the hotel opened in January 1931, it boasted the very latest in technology and comfort. The 800 guestrooms featured ultra-modern baths, high-speed automatic elevators, an internal broadcast system both for convenience and safety, and an automatic electric garage. The eleven kitchens that served the hotel’s dining and banquet rooms were specified, ordered and installed in only five weeks. The finest Van Range equipment was so exactingly chosen that the kitchens were able to produce a seven-course meal for 1,800 guests on opening night.
Rear view of the facelift model, in this case a GSR (which I believe was the higher-spec of the two 1600s, but below the 2000 GT). Handy with the hatchback, but practicality not helped by the high sill - my 160J SSS suffered the same thing.
I think the rear lights are different to the previous model. Note the rather obvious foglights, as I recall legislation reguiiring them only came out in 1979/80 so many cars that didn;t originally have them ended up with something like this.
The Celeste continued to 1981/82, when it was replaced by the Cordia.
Added a Carradice seat bag for practicality and might change the white vinyl tape for thinner cloth one day. Nervex lugs and bottom bracket, Simplex forged drop outs,

Dr. Michael Bröning has presented his book and moderated the discussion, The Politics of Change in Palestine: State-Building and Non-Violent Resistance.
“The Politics of Change in Palestine” discusses these changes. The book contradicts the prevalent myth that incompetent, corrupt, and uncompromising Palestinian decision-makers are responsible for the lasting stalemate in the Middle-East Peace Process. The book highlights recent political developments in Palestine that fundamentally redefine important parameters of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. These include the re-invention of Hamas, reforms within the Fatah movement, state-building efforts of the Palestinian Authority and the surge of non-violent resistance.

Landings
Our usual inventory includes landing type pieces reclaimed from projects throughout New England. They typically fall into three categories:
1) Originals – originally quarried as such
2) Hand split from reclaimed block material
3) Sawn and thermaled – fabricated from large pier and bridge abutment blocks
Appearance:
Whether they are custom hand split or sawn and thermaled, our goal is to maintain the nice aged and weathered sides of the landing. We call this our “Best of Both Worlds” look blending century old patina with the practicality of a true, consistent, all season tread surface. Sometimes we can offer an aged weathered top with a sawn underside and all other surfaces untouched for that all natural look.
Size:
When a step or tread exceeds a depth of 20” or greater, we refer to these pieces as a step/landing or just a landing when they exceed 24” in depth. The most common depth of these slabs is generally between 3’-4’ with a thickness or rise in the 7”-8” range.
Use:
As the broad piece at either the door entry or at the bottom of a step/stairway to land safely and step off easily in different directions
Sold:
By the square foot.
A view inside a Jowett Jupiter showing the tubular chassis. The Jupiter shared many mechanical components with the Javelin but the saloon did not have a completely separate chassis. When conceiving the Javelin, Jowetts had not planned for a sports car to follow but were rather cajoled into it by various motoring luminaries outside the company who were very taken with the Javelin's performance and reasoned a lighter car would be even more impressive. As it happened, Jowetts found themselves in the same boat as Rover and Triumph - to name but two - short of steel if they failed to export, but plenty of aluminium available to build a car hopefully attractive to foreign markets. Gerald Palmer, the clever designer of the Javelin had returned to MG so for a sports chassis design Jowetts were introduced to the impressively titled Professor Dr Dipl Ing Robert Eberan von Eberhorst. He had worked pre-war with Ferdinand Porsche on Auto Union racing cars. Funnily enough, he worked most on engine design, but we will gloss over that. Eberhorst's chassis design was pretty much standard good practice for the time. One requirement called for the use of special and expensive elliptical tubes, but Jowett initially ignored this small detail. When chassis torsion problems became apparent (typically the doors stuck shut) the chassis was strengthened in production by welding angle iron along the tube underside. Teutonic precision meets Yorkshire practicality.

Classic Singer sewing machine from Elizabeth, New Jersey ---
--- and to look inside is to see another day and age . Essentially the entire drive-train, (and much of the body), is made of metal . It was built like a 2-ton Buick ... Just keep the thing lubricated and clean, (the lint from piling up in the bobbin bay), replace some external parts from time to time, (such as needles and the rubber tire on the bobbin winder), and it can be passed down for centuries . And this was only intended for home use (!)
I think it was built to last because it was built for a culture where people expected things to last . I do not know, but believe, that back a few generations ago, clothing was routinely patched ---
( In my experience, the crotch seam fails first . It can be important to patch to both its right and its left, and to match the grain of the patches to that of the original fabric . )
( Thread tensioning isn't too good, i use my right thumb . )
--- and that this wasn't a sign of material poverty, but of material practicality . Of resilience .
Absent some catastrophe which befalls the rest of the world, America will never be great again, in relative terms, the way we were great in 1946 . It's unfair to sell that dream to people ; and i think implicitly unkind . But we can become a more resilient culture . We can turn away from buying a disposable lifesyle off of container ships ... to some extent .
I am wearing those trousers now . In public .

I am blessed to be rich enough in time that i could do this .

// Nouvelle Renault Clio Estate possède le style à part des breaks de chasse. Largement marqué par un style emprunt de dynamisme, ce modèle s'appuie également sur les notions de fonctionnalité et modularité.
1971 VVN 79J Lotus Elan +2 S130. An Elan +2 was introduced in 1967 with a longer wheelbase and two more rear seats. The Elan +2 embodied the Lotus spirit: It was a fast and agile sport coupe, with very elegant lines. It combined the performance and reliability of the Elan "Coupe" with genuine 2+2 passenger comfort. Tested maximum power: 108-126 bhp (net) depending on the model); top speed: 120 mph (190 km/h), 0-60 mph in 7.9 seconds, 0-100 mph 21.8 seconds. 5,200 Elans +2 were made: less than 1,200 of these cars remain in the roads today. Their relative rarity, beautiful lines, impressive performance and practicality are the main factors for the rising interest on these cars among collectors.
All brass & copper construction.
Rotary barrel array is powered by a 9.6 volt cordless drill motor.
Working safety catch. and custom powere connector.
Hand built from reclaimed old and vintage tools/parts, junk, scrap and repurposed odds and ends, plumbing & heating supplies. I built it using only basic hand & power tools. The most sophisticated tool I have in my little shed is a cheap vertical drill press from a local hardware chainstore :-) (Oh I do own a Dremel as well lol ;-) )
I build as if its a real thing. I build/design with function, wear and tear and operability in mind. I have a fairly comprehensive knowledge of firearms design/history so I like to utilise this in my work (albeit I am crossing reality & practicality with fantasy & "what if" technology speculations ;) A balancing act between fantasy and reality :)... Im thinking of maybe fitting a fat bayonet to this weapon lol .. not practical at alll , but great fun looking and emotive in a "hollywood" fantasy way lol ... Maybe a torch slung underneath instead lol ;-)
IF MY THINKERING TALENTS MAY BE OF USE TO YOU, DROP ME A LINE ;-) ... kruki99@hotmail.com
Understated elegance cleverly combined with modern practicality.

On 26 October 2015, Finance Minister Arlene Foster launched a public consultation on a wide-ranging Review of Northern Ireland's Non-Domestic Rating System. The consultation asks questions that touch upon every sector in Northern Ireland, giving respondents the chance to provide imaginative suggestions to improve how revenue is raised locally. Key questions include whether the 100% exemption for charities should be maintained, and how the system could be changed to better suit the demands of local business. Because of the Departmentâs willingness to engage creatively with the business community and other stakeholders, this consultation represents a rare opportunity to influence major change. Business rating is a vital form of taxation, raising some £592m of revenue for regional and local Government in Northern Ireland. However, it is also a significant expense for the businesses that are the lifeblood of the local economy, and can act as a particular disincentive to smaller enterprises who want to invest and expand. At the other end of the spectrum, charities in Northern Ireland benefit significantly from the current rating system, enjoying a 100% rates exemption.

Hi,
For over twenty five years I have seen how magic can add value to delivery. There are a huge collection of secret techniques out there, many of them psychological, that engages and attracts people. The Sleight of Mind Set workshops are one day workshops all about how you can tap into this rich stream of ideas and Mind Magic's enduring popularity. The day looks at two paths running together; one learning the tricks and effects, the other learning about why and how they add value to us.
They are being held around the country, in:
Neuromagic & the Tricks of the Mind
Applied Advantage
Tapping Into Popularity
Theatre of the Mind
Examples of Psychological Artistry
What Do People Say About the Workshops?
What Do You Get On the Workshops?
Register Your Place
Doncaster - 31st May 2013
Manchester - 19th June 2013
Bath - 22nd June 2013
Glasgow - 2nd July 2013
London - 9th July 2013
Birmingham - 16th July 2013
They start at 10:00 a.m. and finish at 4:30 p.m. For more information about the workshops, please got to mindsways.com/SMS/
NEUROMAGIC AND THE TRICKS OF THE MIND
As a psychologist and Psychological Artist, I have been fascinated by how the principles used in magic and mind magic in particular can reveal so much about our human nature and behaviour. Now, neuromagic as well as psychology is learning from Mind Magic.
Neuromagic is brand new field of neuroscience that is being used to understand how magic, affects and changes how we see the world. This in turn informs how we think and what we believe about ourselves and others. For just one example of how magic is being used with neuroscience to study change blindness, go to mindsways.com/SMS#Neuromagic
As is often pointed out in portrayals of Sherlock Holmes; "we see but do not observe". Our cognitive biases constantly distort and filter how we think. We are always under the control of stereotyping, confirmational bias, default effects and much more, basically as magicians know; "we cannot believe what we see but we see what we believe"
The good news is that we do not need to be at the mercy of these thinking fallacies. As neuroscience shows us: we can change. Some go as far as to say that we actually have infinite plasticity, in other words, there is no limit to how much we can change ourselves or how we think.
The Sleight of Mind Set workshops use the principle that "all is not as it appears" to be able to illustrate this and how we see the world. This in turn affects how we act, think and behave, just as neuromagic shows us. The SNT kit has the tools built within it to help us change by making use of the infinite plasticity we all have and to do so with entertaining and enlightening ways. You get your own SNT kit to take away with you on the day. To see more, please go to mindsways.com/SMS/
APPLIED ADVANTAGE
A theme of the day is how you can use these ideas and techniques to add practical value to your delivery through:
Using MMI's (Multiple Moments of Interest, Interaction & Insight)
Connecting emotionally and being relevant (emotional triggers)
Being memorable (giving people something novel to talk about)
Creating attraction (and making you stand out)
Increasing your delivery vocabulary
Bridging the innovation gap
Personal Touch delivery
For more information on the themes of the day, please see mindsways.com/SMS/
TAPPING INTO THE POPULARITY
Mind Magic holds an enduring allure and popularity by bringing together entertainment, mystery and the paranormal. Magic is never far out of the popular sphere with Derren Brown currently filling theatres across the country with his 'Infamous' tour and drawing large TV audiences.
This is also shown by the new blockbuster film; Now You See Me. The film is based on the premise of what if magic were real. Starring Morgan Freeman, Michael Caine, Mark Ruffalo, Jesse Eisenberg and Isla Fisher, the film shows the hold that magic has over our imagination. To see more about the film, please go to mindsways.com/SMS/#NowYouSeeMe.
Our aim is to make day informative, entertaining and practical for you. People have attended for many reasons including:
Curiosity
Learning something new
Interest in how the mind works
Adding variety to enliven their presentations
New and different approaches
Adding to their business practices
An increased reputation
A channel for their passion and fascination
Wider perspectives and experiences
The real power of Mind Magic and Psychological Artistry lies not with just the tricks, but the effect that the delivery of the tricks have on people. By doing this, you are tapping into the emotions of mystery combined with the power of the Personal Touch.
On the workshops and in the SNT kit, we give you the tricks, however, learning to use them with what you do is where the real power lies. This is when the real magic happens, in the theatre of the minds. For more on this, please go to mindsways.com/SMS/
THEATRE OF THE MIND
On the workshop we uncover tricks, look at making a trick into an effect and making the effect into a piece that works for you. The three levels we work on are:
Effect of a trick - "how did you do that?"
Analysis of a trick - "why does this trick work? Why did the effect happen?"
Practicality of a trick - "how you can use the tricks for myself?"
This involves using a combination of Psychology, Neuroscience, Smart Thinking and the ideas, tools and techniques from Mind Magic. For more on this, please see mindsways.com/SMS/
EXAMPLES OF PSYCHOLOGICAL ARTISTRY
A couple of interesting examples of how all is not as it appears are the McGurk effect and Prof Richard Wiseman's "The Incredible Colour Changing Card Effect". Please take a look here or visit mindsways.com/SMS#PsychologicalArtistry. I would love to know what you think. These illustrate both the power and the approach of Psychological Artistry.
WHAT DO PEOPLE SAY ABOUT THE WORKSHOP?
The feedback from the workshops have been extremely positive, with people from recent workshops saying things like:
"It really was most enjoyable and enlightening"
"The most unique training day I have ever been on"
"My target was to get 3 things to add to my training, I had 11 by lunchtime"
"Fantastic day... a great eye opener!"
"Thanks to you both for a challenging, stimulating and enjoyable day"
"I've had plenty of thoughts about how some of the approaches used might be incorporated into several areas of my work"
"Another great course, with plenty to think about and over"
The workshops have been enjoyed and shown to be beneficial to many people over the past year. The events have been attended and proved to be relevant to people from a wide range of backgrounds including entrepreneurs, business consultants, health professionals, coaches of life, performance and sports, therapists, hypnotherapists, trainers etc.
This is an unorthodox approach to understanding human behaviour, illustrating and promoting our messages, and this is where the real power lies. As Marty Neumeier says in ZAG " Be Different - NO Really Different". For more on what people say, please see mindsways.com/what-people-say/

Okay, now we're really in "for connoisseurs only" territory. To be fair to this project, it appears to have been somewhat badly treated - - - surely the parking lot would have surprised Aalto. (If it was still a hospital when they added that feature, then I do understand the practicality of it...) As it is, the little Q-tip columns are about the only vestige of Aalto's original conception, wherein the buildings would frame "Italian piazzas and ornamental fountains," and, significantly, a colonnade would have linked the main building to the sauna. A Classical Villa Mairea?
Landings
Our usual inventory includes landing type pieces reclaimed from projects throughout New England. They typically fall into three categories:
1) Originals – originally quarried as such
2) Hand split from reclaimed block material
3) Sawn and thermaled – fabricated from large pier and bridge abutment blocks
Appearance:
Whether they are custom hand split or sawn and thermaled, our goal is to maintain the nice aged and weathered sides of the landing. We call this our “Best of Both Worlds” look blending century old patina with the practicality of a true, consistent, all season tread surface. Sometimes we can offer an aged weathered top with a sawn underside and all other surfaces untouched for that all natural look.
Size:
When a step or tread exceeds a depth of 20” or greater, we refer to these pieces as a step/landing or just a landing when they exceed 24” in depth. The most common depth of these slabs is generally between 3’-4’ with a thickness or rise in the 7”-8” range.
Use:
As the broad piece at either the door entry or at the bottom of a step/stairway to land safely and step off easily in different directions
Sold:
By the square foot.
