Spotted this great block of apartments when visiting Deli 4 You Eastern European grocery store in Norridge, near Montrose and Harlem. (Norridge is a suburb entirely surrounded by Northwest side Chicago.) Some of the buildings had replaced the front doors, but at least a couple still had what must be the original style.
Chinese censors blocked access to Twitter and other popular online services today , two days before the 20th anniversary of the crackdown on democracy protests in Tiananmen Square.
The move came amid increasing pressure on dissidents, in a reflection of the authorities' anxiety ahead of the sensitive date. Hundreds died as the army forced its way through Beijing to clear away demonstrators from the capital's political heart in June 1989, but the issue is taboo on the mainland.
The photo-sharing site Flickr, email service Hotmail and other services were also unavailable this evening.

Block Island is part of the U.S. state of Rhode Island. It is located in the Atlantic Ocean about 13 miles (21 km) south of the coast of Rhode Island, 14 miles (23 km) east of Montauk Point on Long Island, and is separated from the Rhode Island mainland by Block Island Sound. The United States Census Bureau defines Block Island as Census Tract 415 of Washington County, Rhode Island. As of the 2010 census the population of 1,051 lived on a land area of 9.734 square miles (25.211 km2).[1] The island is part of the Outer Lands region, a coastal archipelago made by the recessional and terminal moraine that resulted from the Wisconsonian Laurentide glacier retreat, about 22,000 years ago.[citation needed]
The Nature Conservancy added Block Island to its list of "The Last Great Places"; the list consists of twelve sites in the Western Hemisphere. About 40 percent of the island is set aside for conservation.[2] Presidents Bill Clinton,[3][4] Dwight D. Eisenhower,[5] Franklin Delano Roosevelt,[6] and Ulysses S. Grant[7][8] have visited Block Island. Other famous visitors include Amelia Earhart and Charles Lindbergh, who each made separate trips to the island in 1929.[9]
Block Island is coextensive with the town of New Shoreham. The island is a popular summer tourist destination and is known for its bicycling, hiking, sailing, fishing, and beaches. The island hosts two historic lighthouses: Block Island North Light, on the northern tip of the island, and Block Island Southeast Light, on the southeastern side. Much of the northwestern tip of the island is an undeveloped natural area and resting stop for birds along the Atlantic Flyway.[citation needed]
Every summer the island hosts Block Island Race Week, a competitive, week-long sailboat race. On odd years, the event is held by the Storm Trysail Club, and on even years by the Block Island Race Week. Yachts compete in various classes, sailing courses in Block Island Sound and circumnavigating the island.[citation needed]
Other popular events include the annual Fourth of July Parade and celebration. During these times the island's population can triple over the normal summer vacation crowd.
I received the coloured fabrics and added the Kona Snow fabric.
As paper piecing obviously uses more fabric than normal piecing, I had to become creative to have enough fabric for this block, thus the white in the coloured blocks and the use of the selvedge :)
This is the only block I have ever made that has no seam embellishment, apart from the couching.
I have taken lots of photos of this to get the correct colours but this is as close as I can get.
The orange flowers are an intense orange.
The block will be mailed to HeartsandHands for Sendai
Looking though a peephole into the sixth level (highest) catwalk between the cells of the east block at the Ohio State Reformatory.
Third floor contains the Friends apartments, squeezed a bit. A strange combination with one shared bathroom, big living rooms with kitchens, but they have to sleep on the sofas...
Here is my finished block. I am really pleased with how it has turned out. and I hope it fits with everyone else's blocks.
For anyone worried about the 3D effect- I did run it past Sarah first, and do a trial run!
For this quarter of the 3x6 bee sewcraftyjess asked for a block using gray, green and yellow. She specified lime green and any shades of yellow. I definitely am lacking gray in my stash -- the one print I found was from Anna Maria Horner's Good Folks line (one of my favourite prints!) I really like adding solids to blocks so this ended up working out well with a couple of gray solids as well.
The block is based on the technique in Oh Fransson's Mod Mosaic Floor Pillow.
All the blocks plus the ones I made - I have to make some more - to make the quilt bigger to snuggle in ....

Victoria Barracks is found in Paddington Sydney. These barracks were constructed in sandstone by convict labour from 1841 to 1848.
They were used by the British Troops until 1870, and then the New South Wales corps. The NSW contingent to the Sudan were trained there in 1885. Between 1931 and 1936 it was the home of the Royal Military College of Australia. Victoria Barracks is still in use today and is home to the Headquarters Land Command and the Headquarters Training Command.
There are guided tours held here each Thursday.
This building has several names, besides the Gibson Block Building;
Flatiron Building
Gibson Block
Schubert and Wenzel Block.
"The Gibson Block Building is valued as a rare example of a commercial building following the 1902 prototype of a flatiron building, so named for its distinctive triangular shape. The building design, with Chicago style influences, balances the vertical emphasis of pilasters and windows with the horizontal presentation of the continuous glass shop fronts and first storey and fourth storey cornices.
Developed by William Gibson, the Gibson Block Building characterizes the historic wave of prosperity and opportunity at the height of the commercial boom in pre-World War One Edmonton. Originally built to provide first floor retail space and offices on the remaining floors, the building's use has evolved with Edmonton's changing economic fortunes and has included office, retail and for a significant part of the historic period, the well-known Turkish Baths, which closed in 1978.
The Gibson Block Building's triangular form and prominent location on Jasper Avenue contribute to its valued local landmark status."

A six inch cubed red velvet cake with white chocolate ganache made for a baby shower. It also had 24 matching cupakes and was inspired by Andrea's Sweetcakes (love her work).

the room at the top of the house which was my office for 10 years has changed recently into a room of my own. I have given away my drawing board and many of my gardening books to a young garden designer friend who is starting out with her own business. Along one wall of my room I have three bookcases pushed together which form a long open shelf along the top - upon which 'stuff' accumulates and is moved about in a happy, not very neat everyday existence. I have decided to photograph the things on the shelf from time to time exactly as they are - with no attempt to make them into a still life. This is a little section of the shelf with printing blocks.
Michael Seidmann gave me the idea of the word serendipity by using serendipitous in a recent comment and Harris Hui has reminded me, by asking me whether I have one, that my 105mm lens is under used. Thanks.
The blocks are done, but I did not decide yet, should I combine them, or finish just one by one....hmmm
The fact that air conditioning and a "ballroom" are listed among the amenities here gives some insight into what decade this motel probably checked in its last guest. Not surprisingly there was nothing to be found over on the next block.
