From The Car Connection (http://www.thecarconnection.com/review/1013522_2008-honda-element) -
While the look of the Honda Element's exterior may not be for everyone, the form and the function of the interior create a harmonious blend of comfort and practicality. As Kelley Blue Book puts it, "the Element's interior is unlike anything else on the road"--and according to most reviews read by TheCarConnection.com, that seems to be the point. Kelley Blue Book reports that "the Element's original concept, in fact, was touted as a 'rolling dorm room.'" Be that as it may, The Auto Channel says that, in the Element, Honda has provided a "spacious, accessible, and easy-to-clean interior," with the SC trim distinguished from the base trims with "special fabric on the seats, copper-colored bezels around the instruments and shifter with some exterior colors, copper-backlit instruments, and 'piano black' interior trim." Cars.com, though, finds "little to like in cabin quality and ergonomics" of the 2008 Honda Element, complaining that although the 2007 update "gave it new gauges and center controls," the dash still "has an industrial severity to it," with "upright facings and hard, dimpled plastics [that] feel too cold and trucklike." ConsumerGuide is a little more positive, finding that on the Element, Honda has crafted "simple, convenient climate and audio controls"; however, they add that the "hooded gauges are hard to see in some light conditions, and are partly obscured for tall drivers by steering wheel."
TheCarConnection.com’s team of SUV reviewers likes the original appeal of the Element. It’s a singular vehicle; part crossover, part sport-utility, part economy car, and part mini-minivan, its big virtues include big interior space, a flexible rear seat and cargo bay, and a funky appeal that's modern and fresh. The Element's unique shape has been dulled somewhat as a result of the tweaks meant to appeal to younger buyers, but the look is still like something you’d find on a shelf at Target. Inside, the hard plastics are at least washable, and the Element’s simple, straightforward layout of controls and upright shape gives it acres of functionality.
Conclusion
The 2008 Honda Element still sports unique styling inside and out—and while it’s not universally loved, it is functional.

The 2CV (Deux Chevaux) was originally conceived as a car for French rural communities which put ease of maintenance, practicality and frugality above all else. The car was described as 'four wheels under an umbrella', intended to provide maximum mobility at minimal cost. A team of designers and engineers masterminded by André Lefèbvre, who developed the design from 1937, had a set of pre-production cars ready for launch at the 1939 Paris Salon Motor Show, but this was cancelled due to the onset of the Second World War.
Nine years later, in 1948, the 2CV was finally launched in Paris. A softly sprung, interconnected suspension system made reasonable speeds possible on the then uneven French roads, while the 350c.c. front-mounted air-cooled, flat-twin engine, driving the front wheels, offered simplicity and economy. With its rounded, corrugated form, and a folding roof made of cloth, the car offered an ingenious technical and stylistic solution to the need for affordable motoring. Production ended in 1990.

I've been on a serious biking kick this year so far, price of gas notwithstanding. Problem is, some douchebag cut the lock and stole my GT hybrid from behind a sushi bar a few months ago. While I decide what to buy and/or build next, three of my good friends lent me their extra bikes... All at once. My friends are so fucking cool.
From back to front:
Naomi's Gary Fisher 24-speed mountain bike
Dave's Scott racing mountain bike (awesome composite frame)
Julia's BikeE recumbent bike. Holy crap this bike is fun to ride.
I love love love the recumbent but I'm not super-sold on the day-to-day practicality of it yet. It's a LOT of fun and super-comfortable though. I'm just worried that the novelty will wear off and then I'll want to go mountain biking. Also I tend to carry a lot of things in my pockets and having to keep checking to make sure I didn't lose my wallet is getting irritating.
Jayantha Dhanapala, a former U.N. under-secretary-general for disarmament affairs (1998-2003) and a relentless advocate
for a world free of nuclear weapons, will be the recipient of the 2014 International Achievement Award for Nuclear Disarmament sponsored by Inter Press Service (IPS) news agency.
"Short of actually dismantling nuclear devices himself," says Dr. Randy Rydell, until recently a senior political affairs officer at the U.N. Office for Disarmament Affairs, "he has contributed enormously in constructing a solid foundation upon which the world community will one day fulfill this great ambition."
Current president of the Nobel Prize-winning Pugwash Conferences on Science and World Affairs (since 2007) and a former Sri Lankan ambassador to the United States, Dhanapala played a crucial role in the 1995 Conference of States Parties to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT).
The award - which is co-sponsored by the Tokyo-based Soka Gakkai International (SGI), a 12-million-strong, lay Buddhist non-governmental organisation (NGO) which is leading a global campaign for the abolition of nuclear weapons - will be presented at an official ceremony at the United Nations Nov. 17.
The event, to be attended by senior U.N. officials, ambassadors and representatives of the media and civil society, is being hosted by the U.N. Correspondents' Association (UNCA).
Douglas Roche, a former senator, an ex-Canadian ambassador for disarmament, and visiting professor at the University of Alberta, told IPS, "When the Non-Proliferation Treaty was indefinitely extended in 1995, the person most responsible for making nuclear disarmament a permanent legal obligation was Ambassador Jayantha Dhanapala."
He said Dhanapala's "masterful diplomacy" - threading a course between the powerful nuclear weapons states and the non-nuclear world - was responsible for delineating three specific promises.
First, the systematic and progressive efforts towards elimination of nuclear weapons; second, a Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty by 1996; third, an early conclusion of negotiations for a fissile material ban.
"Jayantha raised both the global norm and the conscience of the world that nuclear weapons are incompatible with the full implementation of human rights," said Roche, founding chairman of the Middle Powers Initiative and chairman of the U.N. Disarmament Committee at the 43rd General Assembly sessions in 1988.
Jonathan Granoff, president of the Global Security Institute (GSI), told IPS "it is fair to say that no one has done more to preserve and strengthen the international legal system constraining the spread of nuclear weapons and setting clearly the compass point for the universal elimination of nuclear weapons than Ambassador Jayantha Dhanapala."
"His leadership in the U.N.'s Department of Disarmament Affairs and president of the 1995 Review and Extension Conference was rooted in an insight that clearly guides his life," he added.
As a young student during the Cuban missile crisis, he wondered "how could the two superpowers of the time place millions of innocent citizens in non-nuclear weapon and non-aligned states in danger of the blast, radiation, climatic and genetic effects of such a weapon exchange?" Granoff recounted.
Dhanapala has tirelessly made nations, organisations, and individuals aware and empowered to act on the realisation that nuclear weapons and civilisation present a choice: one or the other, he pointed out.
"His work in the international field has exemplified the fusion of idealistic aspirations based on universal values and practical policies informed by the constraints of political realities and power," said Granoff, who is also a senior advisor of the American Bar Association's Committee on Arms Control and National Security.
He was also instrumental in reviving U.N. interest in the subject of "disarmament and development" at a time when military spending was once again starting to rise in the post-Cold War era, as social and economic needs went unmet in vast sectors of the world.
Dhanapala served as director of the U.N.'s Institute for Disarmament Research (1987-1992), where he successfully expanded its financial base while also broadening its areas of research to include non-military challenges to security.
Dhanapala has also been a member of two of the most influential international commissions established to advance nuclear disarmament: the Canberra Commission (1996) and the International Weapons of Mass Destruction Commission (Blix Commission, 2006).
He was later awarded a MacArthur Foundation grant, which enabled the publication of his book, 'Multilateral Diplomacy and the NPT: An Insider's Account.'
He has served or is continuing to serve on several advisory boards of institutions known for their work in supporting nuclear disarmament and non-proliferation, including the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute, the Stanford Institute of International Studies, the Geneva Centre for Democratic Control of Armed Conflict, the International Committee of the Red Cross, and the James Martin Center for Nonproliferation Studies, among others.
He has served as honourary president of the International Peace Bureau.
In all of his posts held over his career, said Rydell, he has inspired his colleagues to fight persistently for the interests of the world community even in the face of great obstacles.
"One day, this will be how nuclear disarmament is finally achieved," he added.
Rydell said Dhanapala was one of the U.N.'s most prolific voices for global nuclear disarmament, which was apparent in his countless major keynote addresses, book chapters, articles, oped pieces, and frequent meetings with NGOs.
Roche told IPS: "If the nuclear weapons states had lived up to the standards set by Ambassador Dhanapala, the world would be a safer place today. Dhanapala had the vision to move forward in a way that held the international community together. We must not give up on that course."
Reflecting on the diplomatic achievements of Dhanapala's home country, Granoff said Sri Lanka is a small island and the world owes it a big thank you for producing several towering figures who have been instrumental in advancing global security, the rule of law, and standards of intelligence and virtue in global public service.
To state the case succinctly: "Without Ambassador Hamilton Shirley Amerasinghe there would be no Law of the Sea Treaty."
Judge Christopher Weeramantry's work on the International Court of Justice (ICJ), where he helped define global legal standards of justice and practicality in the fields of nuclear weapons and sustainable development, is matched in excellence only by the wisdom and insightful legal analysis found in his prolific writings, making him one of the most respect international legal minds of modern times, said Granoff, who is also on the advisory board of Lawyers Committee on Nuclear Policy.
Sri Lanka, having barely emerged from four and half centuries of crippling colonialism, was threatened along with other countries by a contest for global supremacy in which it wanted no part, he added.
The past recipients of the IPS International Achievement Award for their contributions to peace and development include: Brazilian President Lula da Silva (2008), U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan (2006), Global Call to Action Against Poverty (2005), Group of 77 developing countries (2000), U.N. Secretary-General Boutros Boutros-Ghali (1995), and Finnish President Martti Ahtisaari (1991).

Third generation of the Berlingo tall van, in the market since June of 2018. The new Berlingo sticks to the mission of its predecessors, offering an affordable family car. Engine choices include one three-cylinder petrol (110 PS) and three four-cylinder diesels (76 - 130 PS). I like how Citroën incorporated some of the design elements of the C4 Cactus and C3 into the Berlingo, bringing a touch of style to a class normally ruled by practicality.
The Berlingo shares its platform with the Opel Combo and Peugeot Rifter.

September 25, 2008
I spent three fascinating, moving days in Oxford, Mississippi at the University of Mississippi (Ole Miss) in August — the site of the first scheduled presidential debate. I was honored with an invitation to speak to the remarkable Honors College of Ole Miss by its dean Douglass Sullivan-Gonzales. Oxford was the home of William Faulkner, and it is one of the most intriguing places I have ever visited — marked by a loveliness of people as well as place. Even then, in mid-August, the Secret Service and other affiliated debate authorities had begun to tear up and rearrange that beautiful campus — building elaborate security perimeters and state of the art communications facilities for thousands of journalists. The august building in which I was to speak, the appointed site of the debate, had already been locked down and quarantined. I couldn't help but think of all these practicalities — at public expense — as I heard John McCain's announcement of his wish to postpone the debate yesterday. I imagine many hearts sank in Oxford.
And it's been a wild ride for them all along. The first debate was originally planned to focus on issues of domestic policy and the economy. The Ole Miss faculty and administration created an interdisciplinary semester curriculum around these issues. They lined up an astonishing array of visiting lectures and extracurricular seminars. Then just as school began, the McCain and Obama campaigns agreed to shift the Ole Miss debate focus to foreign policy. Right now it looks like the original plan was more prescient. The university took the change in stride, moving forward with its own well-laid plans, though with some understandable frustration. I joked — but not all in jest — that by November the students at Ole Miss will be the best-informed, most well-rounded thinkers in the nation.
But there are deeper issues at play around this debate, in particular, a convergence of more fundamental national dynamics that could easily be missed in all the politicking around this ultra-politicized event. In 1962, the nation's eyes focused on Oxford and Ole Miss, as race riots accompanied the integration of the university by a determined African-American student named James Meredith. In just a few days there, I learned that for people who live in and love Oxford even in 2008, history's subdivisions and ephiphanies still fall on either side of this living memory: time is divided into "before Meredith" and "after Meredith."
I remember especially one woman who stood with me at the monument to James Meredith at the center of the campus — a wonderful dean at the honors college from an old Oxford family. Her grandparents were close friends of William Faulkner and his wife, icons of a paradoxical past — at once immensely gracious and essentially cruel. She spoke of how after the riots hearts and minds changed individually and ultimately collectively. She suggested, softly, that Oxford has become something of a model for how people and communities can evolve. This is not a story so often told. She said, "We had to realize that we had been wrong — and wrong about a way of life we loved." I was humbled to be in her presence. I have not spent much time in the Deep South in my life, though I grew up in Oklahoma, where issues of race and bigotry have not often enough met with profound public reflection. In Oxford, I saw people wrestling carefully, searchingly, self-critically, and gracefully with the unresolved American encounter with race. I was impressed.
And so hosting this historic 2008 civil debate between a white candidate for president and an African-American candidate for president means more to the people of Oxford than most of us can imagine. The current chancellor of the university was himself a student "during Meredith." History is present at Ole Miss, and it is history that we have scarcely found ways in our common life to name and discuss even in the midst of Barack Obama's historic candidacy. I for one will be watching the people of Oxford tomorrow, not just the candidates. I hope very much that the debate happens.

Given Jag has had almost two decades to perfect the new model, it's disappointing the F-Pace is not a benchmark. Having said that, it's still a beautifully designed and engineered SUV that has the soul of its sports car stablemates, combined with space and practicality few of its rivals can match.

On 4 December 2019, 20 enthusiastic year 6 students and two supervisors visited Red Hill to experience some of the practicalities in repairing and conserving the environment. One team of students carried buckets of water to support some of the stressed recent plantings, while the other team learned about the many weeds growing on Red Hill, followed by a practical session with hand mattocks to chip them out. The Regenerators thank Canberra Grammar for supporting their local Nature Reserve.

Women's Asymmetrical Fashion. Wool and linen walking suits were appreciated for their practicality. Asymmetrical designs were featured in bodices and skirts and preferred fabrics were satin, taffeta, chiffon and lightweight silks, with washable cottons to ease hot summers. Early Art Deco inspired prints were seen in the post war years. The automobile achieved status, so driving clothes were developed to protect against dust, including the aptly named duster, a long, lightweight coat. Hats were veiled to keep the complexion smudge free.

Given Jag has had almost two decades to perfect the new model, it's disappointing the F-Pace is not a benchmark. Having said that, it's still a beautifully designed and engineered SUV that has the soul of its sports car stablemates, combined with space and practicality few of its rivals can match.

A triple-expansion marine engine from the steam tug ‘Chipchase’
The tug was built in 1953 by Clelands (Successors) Ltd, Wallsend-on-Tyne, with engines by Plenty of Newbury. She was built for the Blyth Harbour Commissioners, and later passed to the Seaham Harbour Dock Co, County Durham. The vessel was acquired in 1984 for a project to establish a maritime museum at Maryport, West Cumberland, and taken over by the Town Council in 1986. The vessel was scrapped, but the engines were salvaged, and one set was purchased by the SMM for display in Clydebuilt at Braehead
Though of English make, this object is representative of the triple-expansion type of marine engine, developed to practicality on the Clyde in the 1870s and 80s.
This is important to the collection of marine engines in the SMM as an example of one of the most important types of engine. It also forms a group with part of the boiler front, a boiler feed pump, and a generating set, all from the same vessel, and all at kept together.
Formerly part of the exhibition at Braehead, now moved to Irvine.

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.

I violated my own rule and bought them each a cute little cooling hat that has a lining to hold the water, how cool is that! Red hat, red packs and a red rope of my own invention that beats all the commercial leashes so far in practicality and ease of walking the two of them.

Coupe/Hatchback
I'm surprised by how much I like the C-Pillar on the 944; you don't see them on the streets much today, but the funky shape gives it a notchback silhouette with the bubble-glass practicality of a hatch (to say nothing of good over-the-shoulder visibility). Sure, it's full of contemporary sins (check out the un-flush glass and typical 80s roof gutters and panel gaps) but on the whole the car looks surprisingly modern and muscular compared to the similarly-shaped FC RX-7, for instance. For me it's all in the extra metal carved out of the C-Pillar.
To the best of my knowledge, this is the only photo that exists of the second 127, registration GSJ838N. This was a 'Special' by virtue of its third door, offering added practicality to a family of two-and-a-bit!
This was my Dad's first experience of second-hand buying - not sure he ever really forgave me for breaking his run ;o) It is also the first car of which I have clear memories - one of which was being allowed on one occasion (in a private and controlled environment) to sit on Dad's knee and steer it while he worked the pedals! Oh, was I chuffed - I'm sure I must've worn something akin to this expression on my face!
That was me bitten by the bug - I liked cars!!!!

The Lotus Eletre marks a bold new chapter for Lotus Cars — a high-performance, all-electric SUV that redefines what the British marque stands for. It combines the DNA of the brand’s legendary sports cars with the comfort and practicality of a luxury SUV.
Built on Lotus’s Electric Premium Architecture, the Eletre uses a 112 kWh battery powering a dual-motor all-wheel-drive system. In this base trim, it produces around 603 bhp, giving a 0–62 mph time of roughly 4.5 seconds and a WLTP range of up to 373 miles. It supports 350 kW ultra-fast DC charging, restoring 10–80 % in about 20 minutes.
Inside, the Eletre blends advanced digital technology and minimalist luxury: a 15.1-inch OLED touchscreen, 12.6-inch driver display, head-up display, and a KEF premium audio system. Four deployable lidar sensors prepare it for future autonomous driving features, while the glass roof offers ten levels of opacity.
This car, finished in iridescent blossom grey with contrasting black accents, shows how far Lotus has evolved — from lightweight roadsters to a futuristic “Hyper-SUV” built for the electric age. A fusion of design, performance, and technology, the Eletre stands as a symbol of Lotus’s reinvention.

The most important ideal to me with any party favor is practicality. I want the guests to leave with something they will use and maybe be inspired. My original idea for this one was to fold the washcloths into diapers and mold the soaps like little butts. I couldn't find a "butt mold" anywhere so I settled for a heart (close enough, right!) The washcloths, crocheted with "Sugar and Cream" cotton Yarn were to bulky as diapers around the little hearts so I just created little "Bundles of Love"
The soaps are handmade, some glycerine with lavender oil and buds, some goats milk soap with oatmeal.
