McCarthy Homestead - one of the 7 homesteads that are registered National Historic Landmarks at Big Prairie - North Fork - Glacier National Park.
I guess practicalities of heating ruled - that window isn't much of a picture window for the great view (see previous photo in my stream).
"The cabin is the only representative of pre-1910 homesteading activity on the west side of the Continental Divide in Glacier. During the 1930s a Civilian Conservation Corps camp was built nearby. At about the same time, the cabin, and others nearby, transitioned from homesteading inholdings to summer cabins for their owners. In the 1950s some of the CCC structures were relocated to the vicinity of the cabin. The National Park Service purchased the property in 1970."

First time I catch a Chevette in Montreal! For a car that was sold for 11 model years and to the tune of 450.000 units, you would think it would be a little more ubiquitous. I suppose Canadian winters took most of them away...
The Chevette, like the Citation, is one of those cars that is unloved (sometimes even scorned or hated) by today's journalists and yet sold in tremendous numbers back in the days. Although not GM's best, it was a good commuter car that gave a sensible choice to those who bought American out of commitment or practicality.
This particular one is a 1983+ CS model that sports the blacked-out trim and color-keyed bumpers. It'd almost make this Chevette look sporty, even though it's most likely equipped with the tame Isuzy four cylinder offering all of 70 horsepower to the rear wheels. The absence of third brake light at the back also identifies it as a pre-1986 model.
Still, for a 25 year-old car, who has had to endure quite a few harsh Montreal winters, it is incredibly well preserved! There was no rust to be found and the interior was also in mint condition. A savvy collector's summer car for sure!
Sheridan&Co were given the task to translate this premium Italian brand and create an appropriate retail site that would sit comfortably within a supermarket environment. The challenge was to strike a balance between showcasing a premium, consultation-based cosmetics brand and combine the practicalities of a self-select unit in a 24 hour supermarket. These images show what we created for their site located in Tesco’s, Dudley.
In archaeology, something begins to be "archaeological" after around 100 years. But in reality, there is no real cutoff point, and if an artifact is old enough to warrant the questions "what? where? when? how? and why?", and furthermore, if the answer to these questions can be addressed using archaeological methods and theory, then in practicality, it becomes archaeological.
So.
What the hell is this? I do not know. Since it says トヨタ (Toyota), it must be a car part. Found at one of my prof's house. She's an archaeologist ;-)
Soooooo.....
I had to think about it, but this is going to be my Project 365 pic for today. As I had anticipated, the Super Takumar 35mm/F3.5 is going to be a tough lens to work with. It's just so mediocre. The pictures are like those that come out of 1980s disposable cams.
Sure, a great photographer can probably take great photos with this. But your average joe schmoe like me? Tough, bro. Real tough. I'm going to stick with my plan though, so roughly twice a month, I'll be using this lens for the Project.
How 'bout some dem ♪DJ Shadow♪?

310 Claydon Way is located in one of the finer neighborhoods of Sacramento. Having the advantage of being almost riverside, access to the American River Parkway and bicycle path is just one block from the home, providing lovely walks through incredible natural scenery and wildlife.
Year round, this beautiful neighborhood known as Wilhaggin, shows off its aesthetic pride with floral blossoms and blooms. Unlike other fine neighborhoods in the Sacramento area, Wilhaggin is mostly composed of sprawling single story dwellings. with wide streets, sidewalks and street lights.
The "ambiance" of this kind of neighborhood intention is palpable -- quietude, modest elegance, comfortable curb appeal, an abundance of mature and establish landscaping and shade trees.
Back when these houses were made in the sixties -- before magazine living lifestyle took over and replaced practicality with the discomforts of looking sharp -- strong bones and durability were time-honored architectural concepts. Pleasing oneself was more important than pleasing the neighbors, so the focus of the aesthetic addressed things like "hot summers", "colder winters" and the need for shade and light.
There were many independent builders at that time who became famous for their designs and also for their creative concepts for creating ideal settings for a river-living climate.
Among those that rose to fame, Lewis & Bristow are known for their comfortable living designs that centered around poolside appreciation. Shaped like a "U", 310 Claydon Way has three giant sliders that open up onto a giant back yard patio. The patio has roll-down awnings for late afternoon sun shade but also lends itself to an outside office or enclosed dinner-time eating.
The automated irrigation system has just been completely restored and upgraded. Other changes that have been done recently include brand new carpet, new paint and a remodeled entry way.
The grounds are fully established and mature. There are an abundance of roses and azaleas which bloom seasonally. The redwood trees on the property and surrounding the property in the backyard are invaluable for shade and beauty.
And 310 Claydon Way is loaded with all manner of little details of this nature which make it easy to maintain with a minimal amount of work. A truly beautiful home with over 3100 square feet, 310 Claydon way has been called "Shangri La" and has particularly great appeal to a buyer who loves outdoor living as much as indoor living.

The Roosevelt Eight “Collapsible Coupe,” — Marmon’s companion marque — delivered the first American straight-eight priced for the middle class. The Collapsible Coupe body paired a compact 2-door cabin and rumble seat with a folding fabric top, four-wheel mechanical brakes, and an L-head inline-eight (about 72 hp) on a ~114-inch wheelbase. Long hood louvers, drum headlamps, and a crisply shouldered beltline gave the model a poised, modern stance that won an international beauty prize in France. This car was delivered by the Wegge-Pelton Motor Co., the local Marmon-Roosevelt dealer.
What it says about Fannie M. Kerns — Pictured outside her office at Franklin School on Walnut Street, Pasadena’s art director chose a car that broadcast tasteful modernity without ostentation. At 51, Miss Kerns bought an eight-cylinder convertible not as a society trophy but as a design-forward working car—comfortable for solo commuting and studio calls, yet stylish for exhibition openings, with a rumble seat for the occasional passenger.
The Roosevelt’s reputation for advanced engineering at a sensible price suited an educator’s budget while aligning with an artist’s eye for proportion and line.
In status-conscious, automobile-mad Pasadena, her selection reads as confident, independent, and contemporary: a cultured professional staking out a middle path between flashy luxury and bare-bones practicality, and using her daily transport to embody the same modern aesthetics she promoted in the city’s schools.

Can technology help prevent and respond to gender-based violence (GBV), particularly in low- and middle-income countries? Increasingly, cell phones, cameras, crowd-sourcing, and mobile apps are being used in innovative ways to address GBV, but questions surrounding ethics, effectiveness, and practicality remain. The Interagency Gender Working Group, U. S. Agency for International Development, Woodrow Wilson Center, CARE, and Population Reference Bureau will host a panel discussion exploring the ethics around new technologies to combat GBV; how effective they are; and what some of the more practical and actionable ways forward might be.

2007-present
Nissan D Platform
Coupe
The three big players in the midsize market -- Accord, Altima, Camry -- all have coupe variants for folks who want a sporty ride with practicality. Yet like most, the Altima coupe is plagued by compromised rear headroom (look at the backlight rake on this one) and too-slavish adherence to the Nissan party line: though they're on different platforms, the resemblance to the Infiniti G Coupe is no doubt intentional. Yet where the Infiniti wears it as part of the rear-drive platform with muscular haunches and subdued restraint, here it seems almost cartoonish -- the packaging advantages of front-drive negated by a greenhouse that dictates style over function, a heavy-looking C-Pillar that blends into an unfortunately featureless sea of metal.
Strength and practicality characterize the new outdoor green pvc collection. Frames in brushed stainless steel design the new wide stacking chairs seats, with arms, and the practical sun loungers, together with the comfortable armchair, are today offered with seats and backs in PVC available in colours: tortora and light grey.
Not many of these were made in 1955. I've always liked the bullnose bows and most other features these had. The Cobras were designed to be sporty, so practicality was sacrificed. Bold, daring, and timeless.

The Hyundai Tucson had two things going for it when it replaced the ix35 last year: sharp styling, and a so-bad-it's-good ad campaign that got people talking. But flashy looks and marketing pizazz don't count for much in the mid-sized SUV arena if they aren't backed up by day-to-day practicality. So how does the Tucson stack up as a family car?

Wow. What a surreal weekend. For those that may point out that the Salton Sea is not an art project IN Los Angeles - it certainly is near LA (200 miles) and really there isn't much around it. Sure you could say it's near Palm Springs and such, but it's so NEAR LA and so positively awesome that every one should go there. Today.
Jonathan, of jonson blog fame, and I drove to the Salton Sea to check out the purely nasty pollution, desolation and desert antics. Many many photos to come. I'm starting with a photo of Jonathan contemplating the practicalities of the Niland area building codes. Seriously though, the hay-natural wood-bolt action that is the foundation for this pro-jesus (Salvation Mountain) structure is amazing. See more at Jonathan's flickr stream.
Limited Edition Designer Toys
Have you ever bought something only because it was 'designer' regardless of practicality or cost? Do you faithfully attend the various furniture fairs around the world from Milan to Shanghai? Do you have a favourite designer? Do words like Icon, Blueprint and Wallpaper mean more to you than a random string of nouns? If so, then welcome to The Cult of Design.
The pragmatic Modernist ideals of 'form follows function' seems to have given way to the glamorous idea of Design with a capital D. In the world of Design, designers command loyal followers, chairs sit on pedestals and lemon juicers become topics of controversy.
So, what does Design mean for design?
Where consumption is the new religion, this project explores the growing worship of Design and seeks to stimulate discussion of this contemporary phenomenon.
So, if you find yourself coveting these limited edition designer toys, ask yourself why.

`The new exhibition at Bendigo Art Gallery, Gothic Beauty: Victorian notions of love, loss and spirituality traces the Victorian gothic into contemporary art, and brings together the work of a variety of artists who explore these ideas.
Of course, the business of death – that is, the protocols for managing human death, as well as its associated rituals and practices – has been a part of civic life in Bendigo since the city’s earliest days. While the practicalities of this ubiquitous profession are often unseen, death was a visible part of everyday life in the Victorian era. The Gothic Beauty exhibition includes a spectacular late 19th century horse-drawn hearse, on loan courtesy of Mulqueen Family Funeral Directors in Bendigo. While the maker of this particular hearse is unknown, models such as this were commonly used as funeral carriages in central Victoria in the late nineteenth century until as late as the 1930s, when motorised hearses were introduced.
Undertakers of the colonial era often came from a carpentry background, and utilised their skills in making coffins. In 1860, when Peter Fizelle arrived in Sandhurst (as Bendigo was known until 1891), he established a cab proprietorship, hiring his horses and carriages out to townsfolk in the thriving gold rush town. Some of the town’s undertaking businesses were amongst his regular customers. Fizelle, whose horse-drawn conveyances had become integral to the provision of funeral services in Sandhurst, transitioned into the funeral business in 1886. The partnership between Fizelle and Mulqueen, Bendigo’s oldest undertaking business, extends back to 1901.' (BAG)
1907
`The last sad rites in connection with the death of the late Mr. John Goyne, J.P., were observed yesterday, when his remains were interred in the Methodist portion of the White Hills Cemetery. The body was brought from Pakenham on Thursday, and conveyed to his late residence, "Rosemundy
House," Epsom. The high esteem in which the deceased gentleman was held was evidenced by the large assemblage of friends, including representative gentlemen from Bendigo and district. The hearse was drawn by four draped horses, and there were four mourning carriages. ' (Bendigo Advertiser)
`Fizelle and Mulqueen, Bendigo `Mr. Thomas Abell began the business in 1853 before selling it in 1854 to Mr. Thomas Joseph Oakley who operated it until his death in 1885.
Thomas Oakley’s son William took over the business in partnership with Mr. Peter Fizelle from 1886 to 1895 when Peter Fizelle became the sole proprietor.
On February 5th 1900 the firm became Fizelle and Mulqueen following the marriage of Mr.Fizelle’s daughter, Elizabeth, to Michael Mulqueen, an Irish immigrant who had arrived on the Goldfields in 1891.
In 1934, the company became Mulqueen & Sons, and was managed by the couple’s son John, until his death in 1950...'

The architecture of the New South Wales Fire Brigades (NSWFB) reflected the prevailing architectural styles of the time, which were often influenced by Art Deco and Interwar Functionalism. Interwar Functionalism also influenced fire station design, emphasising functionality, efficiency, and simplicity in form and layout. Fire stations built during this era prioritised practicality while incorporating modern architectural trends, reflecting the evolving needs and aesthetics of the NSWFB.
Junee's railway history traces back to the 1860s when it became a crucial junction on the Main South railway line, facilitating connections between major Australian cities. The railway spurred the town's growth and development, attracting industries and settlers to the area. Broadway, Junee's main street, flourished as a commercial and social hub, lined with Victorian-era buildings that reflected the town's prosperity. Architecturally, Junee boasts a mix of Victorian, Federation, and Art Deco styles, with heritage-listed structures such as the Junee Railway Station and the Commercial Bank building showcasing its historical significance.

From Edmunds (http://www.edmunds.com/ford/flex/2009/review.html) -
Featuring conventional rear doors instead of the maximally convenient sliding variety, the Flex nonetheless constitutes a compelling package for families who just can't stomach the idea of rolling in a blatantly utilitarian conveyance. Seven adults can fit comfortably inside its elongated cabin, and access to the third row is a cinch with the optional power-folding second-row seats, though a bit of a pain without them. The second-row seats also slide fore and aft, while an optional refrigerator inside the rear console keeps perishables cool while driving. With the rear seats flipped down and the second row flipped forward, the Flex offers a large cargo area, though minivans are still considerably more capacious.
It's hard to predict whether the new Ford Flex will be a success, but Ford deserves credit for boldly bringing such an unconventional yet well-thought-out offering into the marketplace. In theory, the Flex should appeal to any family looking for a winning combination of panache and practicality. We suggest that consumers looking at either a minivan or a large crossover SUV give it strong consideration.
1896-built L&YR number 1300 (later LMS 12322 and BR 52322) arrived at Ribble Steam Railway in mid-December 2009 from the ELR.
The Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway (L&YR) Class 27 is a class of 0-6-0 steam locomotive designed for freight work.
They were designed by John Aspinall and 484 were built between 1889 - 1918 at Horwich works. The Class 27 was the standard goods engine of the Lancashire & Yorkshire Railway. Aspinall opted for the two cylinder format with a non superheated round top boiler. David Joy's configuration of valve gear was employed. By the time of Aspinall's departure from the L&YR in 1899 over 400 of these simple but powerful engines had been built. More were built under his successor Henry Hoy and George Hughes, albeit with some modifications. By 1918 the class totalled 484.
It was under Hughes that the class became the subject of early experiments in superheating. This was the process of increasing the temperature of the steam produced in the boiler so the minimum of energy was lost. After many months of trails a further 20 superheated engines were authorised to be built and the first of these superheated class 27's emerged from Horwich Works in 1909. The superheated 27's retained the boiler pressure of the originals (180 psi). This first batch had round topped boilers but in 1912 a second batch of 20 was constructed with Belpaire fireboxes.
Although the class was augmented by a further 60 engines between 1900 and 1909 with another ten added in 1917-18. The final five built reverted entirely to the original 1889 specification. It is a tribute to the soundness usefulness and simple practicality of Aspinall's design that some 300 of the class passed into the hands of the LMS and around 50 were still in British Railways service as late as the summer of 1960.
The quilted dip dye jacket from British heritage designers Barbour combines practicality and fashion. Featuring a unique dip dye effect quilted outer, stud front fastening and classic corduroy collar and trims, this stylish Barbour jacket will keep you warm on a chilly spring/summer evening.

310 Claydon Way is located in one of the finer neighborhoods of Sacramento. Having the advantage of being almost riverside, access to the American River Parkway and bicycle path is just one block from the home, providing lovely walks through incredible natural scenery and wildlife.
Year round, this beautiful neighborhood known as Wilhaggin, shows off its aesthetic pride with floral blossoms and blooms. Unlike other fine neighborhoods in the Sacramento area, Wilhaggin is mostly composed of sprawling single story dwellings. with wide streets, sidewalks and street lights.
The "ambiance" of this kind of neighborhood intention is palpable -- quietude, modest elegance, comfortable curb appeal, an abundance of mature and establish landscaping and shade trees.
Back when these houses were made in the sixties -- before magazine living lifestyle took over and replaced practicality with the discomforts of looking sharp -- strong bones and durability were time-honored architectural concepts. Pleasing oneself was more important than pleasing the neighbors, so the focus of the aesthetic addressed things like "hot summers", "colder winters" and the need for shade and light.
There were many independent builders at that time who became famous for their designs and also for their creative concepts for creating ideal settings for a river-living climate.
Among those that rose to fame, Lewis & Bristow are known for their comfortable living designs that centered around poolside appreciation. Shaped like a "U", 310 Claydon Way has three giant sliders that open up onto a giant back yard patio. The patio has roll-down awnings for late afternoon sun shade but also lends itself to an outside office or enclosed dinner-time eating.
The automated irrigation system has just been completely restored and upgraded. Other changes that have been done recently include brand new carpet, new paint and a remodeled entry way.
The grounds are fully established and mature. There are an abundance of roses and azaleas which bloom seasonally. The redwood trees on the property and surrounding the property in the backyard are invaluable for shade and beauty.
And 310 Claydon Way is loaded with all manner of little details of this nature which make it easy to maintain with a minimal amount of work. A truly beautiful home with over 3100 square feet, 310 Claydon way has been called "Shangri La" and has particularly great appeal to a buyer who loves outdoor living as much as indoor living.
