32/52 Motion Bkur - over halfway through my self-set challenge and off to meet up with my accomplice, Sue (a.k.a. www.flickr.com/photos/46534600@N06/ ) for lunch today. I'm wondering if I should consider a 365 project next year, but the practicalities of juggling real life and keeping up with a 365 seem a bit daunting.
This is inspired by the vibrant, fun motion blur/panning shots, taken in supermarkets, of my brilliant contact Kevin, a.k.a. the Disgruntled Baker www.flickr.com/photos/disgruntledbaker/ . Not quite as I'd intended, nor as good as his, but not disappointed with it either as I was using my iPhone (I've found I have much more control over the background when you shoot motion blur with a DSLR or P&S, but doing that in your average English supermarket is pretty much a non-starter).
Thank you for any comments and/or favourites - I always appreciate them. Apologies for not being able to reciprocate at the moment. You can also visit me at www.facebook.com/LyndaHPhotography where I'll be posting images of our time in Italy and England.
This is our 1940s-vintage O'Keefe and Merritt stove. We purchased the gas range around 2003 when we remodeled our kitchen. It added a lot of style to the kitchen, and we got many compliments on it. After using it for 10 years, however, we are reluctantly getting a new gas range with a larger oven--practicality wins out over looks this time.
The Ford Tri-Motor, affectionately known as the "Tin Goose," was the largest civil aircraft in America when it started passenger service on August 2, 1926, with Stout Air Services. The aircraft's all-metal, corrugated aluminum construction and the prestigious Ford name made it immediately popular with passengers and airline operators. Noisy but reliable, the Ford played a major role in convincing the public of the safety and practicality of air travel.

Took me a while to upload because I was out of town and wicked busy, but there's a nice outfit for a warm fall day!
Sunglasses: I bought them in an Icelandic drugstore.
Headphones: Belong to my husband. He was going on a long flight and traded with me since mine are less bulky. Not very stylish, but I had no place to put them other than around my neck.
iPod case: Incase! I get a lot of compliments on it.
Shirt: Second hand
Scarf: Elli Star boutique in W. Lebanon, NH
Pants: H&M
Shoes: Payless
(Oh yes, I know the bag around my torso adds nothing to the outfit, but the bag itself is cute and I am a slave to public transportation and so, practicality occasionally must trump fashionability!)
Gaye: "I just knew that we'd get our big break. After NewsCenter 4 interviewed us during the holidays, I thought we'd be millionaires with everybody wanting to know the secrets of our powerful hairdos. But when everything calmed down, I got a little dejected. That's over!"
Amalia: "Now, the fact that we're starting our fashion/entertainment/lifestyle series on NewsCenter 4 is so awesome!"
"And now that it's almost St. Patrick's Day and Easter-time, there'll be such demand for our inventions--especially this new one: Year-Round Holiday Hair Hats!!! We're not seasonal, we're all day long!"
Gaye: "Imagine: people--female and male--will be able to have great hair, a nice hat, and do things like put their pets on top and just go out and about!"
"Who would have thought that Buster would be such a sweet dog that he'd be so content to rest on the top of my head? People will realize: No need for pet-sitters now!"
Amalia: "Or that Mittens would lap up her milk from the bowl right here on top of my hat?"
"Beauty and practicality--you can't beat that!"

`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)
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 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?

This is the underground car park for the Buttermarket shopping centrre.
One night in 2007, when the car park and shops were closed, the lady in charge left her office to empty a coin machine. She returned quickly to the office without emptying it when she sensed movement. Anxiously she rang her boss, who came over within ten minutes. She let him into the premises and when they looked around, but no source of movement could be found. Locking up, he said he would ask to see the CCTV footage the next morning. Imagine their horror at seeing the shadows on the wall either side of the machine moving away with frenetic activity on the time-coded video. The boss said he did not know what to think. There were no windows, trees or moving lamps down there or anything else to explain the phenomenon. Deciding on practicality, he announced that no lone worker would be put in that such a poor situation to handle cash and would ensure a second member of staff would be on hand in future.

The two constants in India amidst all the economical and social changes: Spirituality and Practicality at the expense of aesthetics.
The modern clean lines of the new Parumala church have been <ahem> modified with plastic sheets (presumably to keep the rain out). Practical? Yes, but probably not in keeping with what the architect (Charles Correa) had in mind.
The patron saint of the church, Saint Gregorios of Parumala, is the first canonised saint from Kerala.
The 1st Series (1963-1966) was the fastest saloon of its time and was groundbreaking, opening a new segment in the automotive market. Adolfo and Omar Orsi conceived th Quattroporte, a car that combined the brand's racing heritage with the practicality and sophistication of a saloon. Giulio Alfieri, a key figure in Maserati's success, was entrusted with engineering, while Pietro Frua penned the design. The clean, elegant lines exuded understated sophistication while incorporating aerodynamics principles to enhance performance. It proved that a car could be a high-performance, luxurious, practical saloon. Its success inspired competitors like Mercedes, Jaguar and BMW to develop their own high-performance sedans, setting the stage for an entirely new class of automobiles.

Well, it's been a while!
There's been far too much going on, not bad - just busy, but flickr has had to take a back seat, which isn't a bad thing every now and then. Anyway, I'm in Barcelona at the moment (again), so I offer a set of images from La Catedral, a vast soaring edifice in the old (medieval) city. The astute amongst you will notice that these are digital. No I haven't moved away from film, I'm still shooting it, plenty of it in fact, but the film shots are likely to be some time away because of the practicalities involved. So you'll just have to make do with nice conventional digi shots for now. (Although I am working on less conventional digi shots too! ;)
I know I owe loads of flickr/emails. I'm working on it.

FurugiStar is my Etsy shop which was born of a fascination with the thoughts and feelings evoked by handmade antique fabrics. Textiles with a connection to the artisans and former owners hold a richness that new fabrics just don't possess.
I identify with the Japanese concept of 'yu yo no bi' - beauty in practicality, and 'mottainai' - no waste. These concepts have great relevance to the sustainable fashion movement to which I hope my shop contributes, at least in a small way.
My shop specialises in Japanese textiles of history and substance. Together with antiques and vintage items found in and around Tokyo.
I am interested in boro and antique noragi (collectible Japanese peasant / farming wear). If you are looking for Japanese indigo, kasuri / ikat, shibori or boro fabrics then keep me bookmarked because I am always on the look-out for these.
My descriptions often refer to periods in Japanese history. Please use this for reference:
Edo Era: 1603 - 1868
Meiji Era: 1868 - 1912
Taisho Era: 1912 - 1926
Showa Era: 1926 - 1989
Heisei Era: 1989 - present

Like York Integrated Electronic Control Centre (IECC), Tyneside IECC dates from British Rail's East Coast Main Line (ECML) modernisation and electrification project of the 1980s.
Network Rail originally planned for Tyneside IECC to close, and its area of control be transferred to York Rail Operations Centre (ROC) during the early 2020's. However, several factors - including cost, practicality, future resignalling strategy and the impact of the Covid pandemic causing mass staff absences in large workplaces - led to a change of plan.
Tyneside IECC therefore never migrated to York ROC, but was instead refurbished with provision made for extra workstations, saw rearrangement of the existing workstations on the Operations Floor, replacement of the original IECC signalling control equipment with WestCad, and - curiously - renaming to Tyneside ROC.
Tyneside ROC very much retains the character of an IECC, has none of the typical characteristics of a ROC, but equally within Network Rail we also have several locations which very much resemble ROCs but are not named as such.
Tyneside IECC's area of control on renaming was the ECML from the fringe with York ROC north of Northallerton at Danby Wiske through Darlington, Durham and Newcastle to the fringe with Morpeth SB north of Plessey. The busy section of railway - much of which is shared with or exclusive to Tyne & Wear Metro operations - from Newcastle to beyond Sunderland, including the entire South Hylton branch, was also under Tyneside IECC's control. Parts of the Shildon branch, Dinsdale Lines towards Eaglescliffe and the Tyne Valley Line towards Blaydon were controlled from here too.
Since renaming, Tyneside ROC still retains the existing Darlington, Durham, Gateshead, Newcastle and Sunderland workstations, but resignalling of the Blyth & Tyne network in connection with 2024's return of passenger services to the area - marketed as the "Northumberland Line" - saw the additional Ashington workstation commissioned.
This photo shows part of the Newcastle workstation, which controls the busy railway through Newcastle Central station, past Heaton Depot, Benton Junction and on towards the Morpeth area.
At the time of this photo in January 2024, Newcastle workstation fringed with Gateshead workstation (twice - basically south of the King Edward VII and High Level Bridges across the River Tyne), Heaton Depot's busy Control Tower (actually a Portakabin type structure these days), Morpeth SB and Newsham SB.
My visit to Tyneside on this occasion was to learn more about the interaction between the ROC and Heaton Control Tower, in connection with a secondment I was on at the time, so this photo shows a close up of the Heaton area, and also the fringes with Morpeth SB and Newsham SB. A photo giving an overview of the entire workstation can be seen via the link below.
www.flickr.com/photos/194923731@N02/54312146383/in/album-...
As mentioned above, the Blyth & Tyne network was resignalled during 2024, Newsham SB was one of the boxes to be closed and so Newcastle workstation now instead fringes with Ashington workstation at the other end of the Operations Floor.
Dr. Simeone explained that from 1915 to 1920 the concept of a sports car was submerged by the rigors of a great world war. Coming out of this tragedy a few car companies early on made a true sports car where speed and sport supervene over practicality. A British, an Italian, and an American example of this early reversion to performance were demonstrated. Featured were the 1921 Vauxhall 30/98E Velox Tourer, 1924 Lancia Lambda Third Series Tourer, and the 1922 Paige 6-66 Daytona Speedster.

This picture is of my grandfather Hiram Plunkett posing with his brand new, 1950 Chevrolet. Chevrolet, Pontiac, Oldsmobile, Buick and Cadillac, in that order, were the names of General Motor’s five brands of cars in the 1950s. Americans learned the names of these cars in price order. The Chevrolet was the car for a young couple just getting started, without a lot of money, and possible a child on the way. Ideally, as the couple matured, the husband would be promoted and be able to move up on the social ladder, and the Chevrolet was traded for a higher class car, such as a Pontiac.
In addition cars representing social class, it was often a popular fad to get your picture made in front of your boyfriend or parents car when they bought a new one because it was an imitation of advertisements seen in popular magazines at the time. A majority of 1950s cars placed style over engineering, form ahead of function, and whimsy ahead of practicality. In the 1950s there were about 45 million households and 50 million cars. In 2000 there were about 110 million households , almost doubling the number from 1950 and 200 million cars, quadrupling the number from 1950.

There isn't much to say about the back, except that since my sister in law does have to get dressed herself and wear this to work, I went for practicality rather than historical authenticity and put in a zipper and elastic at the waist.
These Kinnauri Buddhist women were attending the P'howa teaching (transference of consciousness after death) of Ayang Rinpoche in Bodh Gaya, Bihar. They are always all-smiles, and always identifiable by their distinctive green topis. I also noticed that the men and women Kinnauris wear almost identical dress - topi, kurta, baggy salwar, a woolen waistcoat (no matter how hot it gets) and a shawl. I like the practicality and "tomboyish" quality of their dress.

Coming out of this tragedy a few car companies early on made a true sports car where speed and sport supervene over practicality. A British, an Italian, and an American example of this early reversion to performance were demonstrated. Featured were the 1921 Vauxhall 30/98E Velox Tourer, 1924 Lancia Lambda Third Series Tourer, and the 1922 Paige 6-66 Daytona Speedster.

Held founding chair in Social Administration at LSE
Extracts from ‘Obituaries: Richard Titmuss’ by Howard Glennerster in LSE Magazine, November 1973, No46, p.7
‘Looking through some photographs of Richard Titmuss recently I came across one taken during the last war, in the crypt of St. Pauls. There, complete with tin hat, he was holding a seminar with other tin-hatted fire watchers and members of the red Cross. It seemed to personify the values he himself believed grew out of the war experience- a heightened social consciousness and a sense of unity which were the theme of his major work (Problems of Social Policy, 1949)on social policy during the Second World War. It was soon after this book that he was invited to take a chair at the LSE as Professor of Social Administration in 1950…
He believed that it was an academic’s job to participate in policy making and administration as well as to be a critic. He gave many of his days and evenings to official meetings, informal seminars of civil servants, high and lowly. He devoted hours of his time to Royal Commissions, to Labour Study Groups, to the Community Relations Commission and the Supplementary Benefits Commission. He was fascinated by the problem of making large social service bureaucracies humane and sensitive to individual human need. He acted as a kind of bridge between government and academic life helping each to understand the other’s perspective. It was this which lay at the root of his influence on policy and gave his whole department that unique mixture of reforming zeal and practicality.
As I began to set these thoughts down two events occurred together in the same week. The first was that the House of Commons Select Committee on Tax Credits welcomed a proposal that single parent families should receive a special social security benefit and also receive tax credit. This idea was one that Richard had pressed and argued for as a member of the Finer Committee on one-parent families. Indeed he was working on it in his last days. In the same week the Department of Health, Education and Welfare in the United States announced that they were to launch a national voluntary blood donor scheme. It was a proposal which sprang directly from the influence of his last book – The Gift Relationship.
These were the kinds of memorial that Richard Titmuss would have appreciated most.’

This is another old Gitane Pro Super Corsa. I've had this one since 1973! Of course it has gone through many rejuvinations and configurations since then, and it is now dressed as a light day-tourer, with a few modern, non-french components, for practicality's sake.Took these pix on a nice sunny Saturday afternoon in Seattle
The Mazda6 was redesigned for 2013, and even though its interior is ho-hum (and cramped) and it doesn't have the mainstream appeal/practicality of cars like Honda Accord, it is fun to drive and a good choice in the midsize category.
While the previous Mazda6 shared platforms with the Ford Fusion, the current one stands alone thanks to Ford switching the Fusion to the Mondeo platform. Also, the Mazda6 is no longer made in Flat Rock, Michigan (that plant is now handed over to building various Fords) - production returned to Hiroshima, Japan.
Range towers offer that protection with various features designed to promote safety and practicality, including:
Industrial grade polyurethane acrylic paint to resist nicks and scratches.
Galvanized steel construction to keep the tower rust free and resistant to weather conditions.
Guard railings on all stairs and platforms for additional safety.
All of our prefabricated towers are designed in strict compliance with local codes, including the codes under the IBC 2006 that govern the standards for seismic ground activity. These strict standards ensure a safe product.
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?

An original artwork by Sherri Warner Hunter commissioned by the Friends of the Library and private donations through UrbanArt in 2001.
Sherri Warner Hunter designed the Children’s Courtyard creating mosaics titled Rain Forest Treasures. Hunter combined whimsical and practicality in her sculptural seating. Because the courtyard is located beside the children’s area in the library but will be accessible to all visitors, it was important for Hunter that the benches and sculptures inspire a sense of discovery for all age groups.

The icons on the side, ane in each KKMenu, are custom-made from scratch by me.
I was inspired to make this because almost everything I do on the computer is in the "portrait" format - from web browsing to word documenting to print-based graphic design. A sidebar seems like a better use of space than a taskbar.
Practicality takes prominence over aesthetics. What's wrong with leaving files strewn around the desktop?

This is our 1940s-vintage O'Keefe and Merritt stove. We purchased the gas range around 2003 when we remodeled our kitchen. It added a lot of style to the kitchen, and we got many compliments on it. After using it for 10 years, however, we are reluctantly getting a new gas range with a larger oven--practicality wins out over looks this time.
