Ottawa, Canadian capital
The Centre Block (in French: Édifice du centre) is the main building of the Canadian parliamentary complex on Parliament Hill, in Ottawa, Ontario, containing the Commons and Senate chambers, as well as the offices of a number of Members of Parliament and Senators, as well as senior administration for both legislative houses. It is also the location of several ceremonial spaces, such as the Hall of Honour, the Memorial Chamber, and Confederation Hall.
Built in the Gothic Revival style, the present Centre Block is the second iteration of the building, after the first was destroyed by fire in 1916; all that remains of the original building is the Library of Parliament, at the rear of the Centre Block. Though construction began immediately after the blaze, sculpting work on the interior continued through the 1970s. One of the most recognizable buildings in Canada, the Centre Block is depicted on the Canadian $10 bill (the Library of Parliament), $20 bill (the main entrance), and the $50 bill (the Peace Tower).
One of the several ice blocks (this one has a slalom) that was used for the party. This design gave the choice of beverage more contact time with the ice.
For her blocks in the Tag Square Bee Julianna asked for blocks in orange, red and purple. This block is "That Thirties Thing" from Quilter's Cache. I scaled the block up to be 12.5" (unfinished) using the scale option on my printer. It's a very simple paper-pieced block.

Several hundred years ago, a vessel was wrecked upon the shore at Jurby, with 3 brothers, by the name of Quayle, surviving the wreckage. When they reached safety on the shore, they got down on their knees and thanked God for their survival - promising that they would settle on land as far from the sea as they could get - the top of the Sulby valley. In 1515, the manorial roll shows no Quayles in the area, yet by the following one, Quayles resided at Ballaskelly & the Creggans, and by the turn of the century, Quayles occupied Block Eary (Eairey), Ballaskella, The Creggans, Lhergy Rhennie, Sherragh Vane and Creg Mooar.
Unusually for Manx farmers, there is no record of any of these Quayles ever combining fishing with the farming, as was usual elsewhere on the island.
For her quilt Sara provided a mariner's compass made from batiks as an inspiration. This block is "Nova" from "Quiltmaker's 100 Blocks Vol. 2."
It's probably the most complicated paper-pieced block I've ever made and I can't believe that it turned out as well as it did! Paper piecing is always so magical the way it comes together perfectly at the end.
I'd love to make an entire quilt of these but that would probably take eons. One can dream, anyway.

He kept taking weird things into the pool and found these two blocks of wood and was banging them together (at least it wasn't two empty halves of coconut. Name that reference!). I can't believe how grown up he looks these days especially since he's her youngest. :(
126 West Hastings Street, Vancouver, BC.
Description of Historic Place:
The Ralph Block a three-storey masonry commercial building on West Hastings Street in Vancouver.
Heritage Value:
The value of the Ralph Block lies in its location in a cluster of three- and four-storey early commercial buildings. Together they represent the patterns of retail shopping and services around the turn of the twentieth century in Vancouver. Although the fashionable shopping area moved to the south and west in the 1920s, West Hastings Street still continued to be viable as a blue-collar retail strip. Smaller businesses flourished as they catered to the shoppers drawn to the larger outlets, as well as to the needs of the local residents.
Built in 1899 for merchant William Ralph by architects Parr and Fee, this building is an unusual local example of the use of cast iron in commercial buildings. Although not as elaborate as examples in New York, the use of brick piers enclosing cast iron mullions is notable. Ralph was a wholesaler and retailer who sold McClary stoves, ranges and furnaces, as well as Cleveland and Rambler bicycles, but he was also a bridge builder who specialized in iron structures for the Canadian Pacific Railway and the Dominion Bridge Company. The use of cast iron allowed for larger windows than the norm. This treatment, although with brick spandrels, is also found on the adjacent Henderson Block.
The building is best known as the home of the White Lunch Restaurant from 1913 to 1988. This blue-collar eatery, popular with the truckers who carried dairy products and farm produce from the Fraser Valley for distribution throughout the downtown area, survived several economic cycles but was unable to overcome the serious downturn in the late 1980s. Upstairs from the restaurant, the White Palace Rooms, provided affordable accommodation for those who could not make the return trip with their trucks.
The Ralph Block has been combined with its neighbour, the Henderson Block (122 West Hastings Street) as one commercial outlet, through the removal of a common wall.

La band nasce nel 2007 dalle ceneri dei Woptime. Vengono formati da Saverio Sgaramella (voce), attivo nella scena hardcore italiana sin dagli anni '80 (periodo d'oro di band come Negazione e Raw Power), nonchè uno dei più noti pro-skaters dell'epoca vantando esibizioni e gare a livello mondiale.
A pochi mesi dalla nascita la band diventa una delle più attive a livello di esibizioni dal vivo, costruendosi da sola, in un periodo dove chi paga si aggiudica il posto migliore in scaletta. Con un'attitudine che proviene dagli anni vissuti in strada, il sound dei Concrete Block riflette il malessere e l'angoscia di chi vive giorno per giorno con le spalle al muro, prendendo tutti i calci e i pugni che la vita riserva.
Dopo il primo MiniCD "Down With the Madness" uscito per Countdown Records in Luglio 2007, i Concrete Block suonano costantemente e condividono il palco con Sepultura, Sick Of It All, Murphy's Law, Maroon, Shattered Realm, Skarhead, Agnostic Front, The Business, Slapshot e tanti altri. Nel 2008 esce il loro primo vero full length "Life Is Brutal" (Countdown Records) prodotto da Daniele Giordana. Per molti questo disco diventa subito l'album hardcore italiano dell'anno.
Alla fine del 2009 dopo due dischi la line-up originale si scioglie, ma la band con una nuova formazione continua a suonare dal vivo. Dopo alcune date gloriose di nuovo assieme ad Agnostic Front e Skarhead arrivano problemi per Saverio, che convinto ad emigrare negli States viene bloccato in Italia per problemi tipo galera, carenza di una base monetaria, situazione lavorativa pessima ed un divorzio alle porte.
Dopo aver passato il periodo Saverio rimette in piedi la formazione con nuovi elementi, riprendono le prove, i concerti ed inizia la stesura di pezzi nuovi. Il bassista viene rimpiazzato perchè trova posto in un TV show come stand up commedia e l'album nuovo prende forma. Si arriva al 2013 con una piena attività live e "Twilight of the Gods", l'ultimo lavoro uscito per F.O.A.D. Records, registrato al One Black Sox studio da Carlo Girardi. E' la storia continua…
