St Peter, Cambridge
I was chasing the ghosts of my ancestors in the villages to the west of the city, but I had arrived in Cambridge at eight in the morning and did not want to get to the village churches before they opened. So I cycled up the long former Roman road which cuts right through the centre of the city to St Peter. This is a Churches Conservation Trust church now in the care of the Kettles Yard gallery next door. The church is beautiful, a tiny stone-built church with a tower and stone spire set on an ancient mound at the foot of Castle Hill with rows of cottages about, a rural moment in the heart of the old part of the city. The nave and chancel were demolished in the 18th Century and replaced with a small Georgian box, only the late Norman doorway being retained.
Cambridge grew up as a major town long before the University arrived because it was at the crossing point between two Anglo-Saxon kingdoms. The tower and the spire give St Peter the style of a midlands church, and it is tempting to think this may be because the church sits 200m north of Magdalene Bridge over the Cam. Thus, more than a thousand years ago it was the only Cambridge church in the kingdom of Mercia, whilst the other medieval city centre churches were in the kingdom of East Anglia on the other side of the river. Obviously, there have been lots of rebuildings since. But still...
My great-grandparents Tom and Alice Reynolds moved to Shelley Row just to the north of this church in 1916, and lived there for forty years. But my High Church great-grandmother walked past the church every Sunday on her way to the Anglo-Catholic delights of St Giles, a Victorian church directly across the road from St Peter.
The bright misty early morning light and the red leaves in the churchyard were just right, so I photographed the exterior of this tiny church. I came back later in the day on my returning orbit from the villages to a delightful surprise - the church was being used for the installation Unearthed - In Memoriam by Issam Kourbaj, a Cambridge-based Syrian artist, which consists of hundreds of book covers, each representing a person he knew in Syria, some of which are painted across with red and black to denote that they have been killed in the current conflict. It had a strong resonance with our own current remembering of the First World War.
The installation had required all the Victorian benches to be removed, leaving the font in splendid isolation. The font is a poorer version of the one at Anstey in Hertfordshire, with mermen holding their tails. My Great-Aunt Lon was grudgingly baptised in it in 1916, this being technically the family's parish church. It was good to see it again after thirty years or so, and the installation was moving too. It seemed a shame that they would need to put the benches back.
And then I headed off along King Street and Newmarket Road to visit my mum and dad.
The purpose - where I start - is the idea of use. It is not recycling, it's reuse.

I've been creating brooches from reused jewelry for a few years, but have only recently decided to pursue it head on. So much up-cycled jewelry has the "recycled junk, eclectic" look to it, which is a beautiful aesthetic. But, I wanted to make it more simple. I wanted to transform what I was finding, first by modernizing it without losing its vintage/aged charm. Second, by making the items look as though they were meant to be together. I especially wanted to have the balance of design elements such as texture, color, and space. Here are some examples of what I've come up with. Enjoy!

Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Landmark No. 476
__________
The Belasco Theater, 1926
1046 - 1054 S Hill St.
Downtown, South Park, Los Angeles, CA
Morgan, Walls, and Clements
On February 26, 2011, we were invited by the Los Angeles Historic Theater Foundation (LAHTF) to preview the newly restored Belasco Theater on Hill Street, in the South Park neighborhood of Downtown Los Aneles. Ordinarily, "adaptive reuse" is a dirty word to a hard-core preservationist, but the rennovations made to the Belasco are sensitive to the architecture, and give new life to an otherwise vacant building. Working with the LAHTF and the Los Angeles Conservancy, the owner of the Belansco has created a wonderful, and vibrant entertainment complex. Restored to Department of Interior standards, and adapted for a multitude of uses, this theater is destined to become a new Los Angeles hot spot.
The story goes that Edward Doheny, who lived just southwest in Chester Place, wanted a theater closer to his residence. At the time, many of the older theaters on Broadway were in decline and beginning to turn burlesque. On land owned by his oil company, he commissioned Morgan, Walls, and Clements to create two new venues -- the Belasco (HCM-476) with a close space designed for plays, and the Mayan (HCM-460), for musicals. The theaters were completed and opened in 1926 and 1927 respectively. They Mayan took on a pre-columbian theme, while the Belasco incorporaes several different Spanish themes, including: Churrigueresque, Spanish Renaissance, Moorish, and Gothic. Doheeny choose Frederick Belasco (brother to David and Edward Belasco of the New York Belasco theaters) to run the new venue. The Belasco's opening production was Gentlement Prefer Blonds. After the theater closed, it was converted into a movie palace, became home to the Gospel Temple, and later the Metropolitan Community Church (MCC), before being acquired by the current owner.
I love my little point-and-shoot Sony T100. However, in the low light of the theater I had to use the OSI setting. As a result the interior appears an erie Victorian red, even though it's mostly blue and gold. No amount of tinting would help, so the pictures are what they are.
After the tour we decided to take a walk around the block to see what other architectural treasures were in the neighborhood:
-- The Mayan Theater (HCM-460). 1040 S Hill St. Built in 1927, the theater opened with George Gershwin's "Oh Key." It was designed by Morgan, Walls, and Clements, and is only one of eight buildings in Los Angeles designed in the Pre-Columbian (Mayan Revival) style. The hand-carved wall scuptures were created by Mexican artist Francisco Cornejo.
-- The White Log Cabin Coffee Shop. Across the street from the Belasco is an amazing little piece of Los Angeles Programmatic archiecture in the form of a quaint log cabin. Built in 1932 and designed by Kenneth Bemis, it began life as the White Log Cabin Coffee Shop. Later it was painted red and became Tony's Burgers. Today it survives as the El Comedor Mexican Grill.
-- The YWCA (Woman's Athletic Club). 1031 S Broadway. Designed by Allison and Allison in the Italian Renaissance style, the structure is impressive but in sad need of repair. Today it serves as a home of the Los Angeles Jobs Corps.
-- The Herold-Examiner (NRHP-92000382, HCM-178). 1111 S Broadway. The Harold-Examiner is a Mission and Spanish Colonial Revival masterpiece, built in 1912 by legendary California architect Julia Morgan, for William Randolph Hearst. It is said she took inspiration from A. Page Brown's California Building of the 1983 World Columbian Exposition in Chicago, however Gebhard and Winters owe this more to a coinciidence of styles. The building's colorful domes and open-arched arcades are it's most notable features, but the arches were closed in during a 10-year strike that lasted from 1967 to 1977. The Herold-Examiner finally closed it's doors November 2, 1989, and the building -- still owned by the Hearst family -- has remained shuttered ever since. Despite a scare in the early 1990's when the Hearst family wanted to tear down the building for a parking lot, it survives in relatively good condition (thanks in part to community outcry and it's designation as both a National Register of Historic Places and a Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Ladmark).

We were given two free reusable grocery bags at the Giant in Columbia Heights today. I think we're going to leave them by the front door to remind us to actually use them, in light of DC's new 5 cents per platic bag tax. We already have reusable bags but forget to bring them with us half the time.

The We're Here group visits Recycle, Reuse, Repurpose, Rejoice!
On of my memories of my dad is his extensive collection of tins. Many were pipe tobacco tins and all were filled with a range of useful screws, nails, fittings, grommets, washers, off cuts, scraps, leftovers and bits. Never one to throw anything away he needed to store all the stuff which might and often did come in handy. This recycling instinct included the tins themselves which I assume had belonged to a pipe smoker in his office.
This is an instinct I have inherited and cannot throw away any useful looking container. This tin sits on my desk and holds my memory cards.

The doctor's office at the old Whittier Mill. It is now a house.
The Whittier Mill was constructed in 1896 by the Whittier Cotton Mills out of Massachusetts. The worker housing had been sold off to individual homeowners in the 1950s. Whittier Mills was closed in 1971 and sat abandoned until it was burned by arsonists in the 1980s and the rest was salvaged for scrap. The housing area and park were added to the National Register in 2001.

Mărţişor tradition is very old, and, according to the archaeological research, it is traced more than 8000 years ago...
The Mărţişor is a talisman (amulet) made of knitted threads (wool, cotton, or silk). Nowadays, the most popular version of it is made of red and white threads, but in some regions it is still made of black and white, or even blue and white...
Initially, the Mărţişor string used to be called year's rope (‘’funia anului’’, in Daco-Romanian), made by black and white wool threads, representing the 365 days of the year. ‘'The Year's Rope'’ was the link between the winter and the summer, black and white representing the opposition and also the unity of the contraries: dark & light, cold & warmth, death & life. The ‘’Mărţişor’’ is the thread of the days of the year, spinned up by Baba Dochia, likewise the thread of man's life, which is spinned up at birth by the fates (Ursitoare)...
Red is the colour of fire, blood, and the symbol of life, associated with the woman. Meanwhile, White is the colour of the cold snow, foamy waters, the clouds, and also of man's wisdom. So, the thread of the Mărţişor represents the union of the feminine and the masculine principles, the vital forces which give birth to the eternal cycle of the nature...
Red and white are also the complementary colours present in all the key traditions of the Daco-Romanian folklore...
In the Daco-Romanian folklore, the seasons are attributed symbolic colours: spring is red, summer is green or yellow, autumn is black, and winter is white. This is why one can also say that the Mărţişor thread, knitted in white and red, is a symbol of passing, from the white winter, to the lively spring, associated with fire and blood...
According to one of the several proposed legends about the Martenitsa in Bulgaria, the custom has roots in the late seventh century. This legend, first attested in the 20th century, says that the Bulgar Khan Asparukh wanted to send a message to other Bulgars across the Danube. He tied his letter with a white string to the leg of a white pigeon. The Eastern Romans (i.e. Byzantines) saw the pigeon flying and hurt it with an arrow. It was finally able to deliver the important message but the white string has turned into reddish because of the pigeon's blood. The Bulgars then started to wear this thread.
Another Bulgarian alternative theory completely omits the role of the Bulgars in introducing the Martenitsa into the Balkan folklore, and instead links the custom to the Thracians (but without a Romanian connection)
enough theory...
the fact is that Martisor is everywhere my dacians and thacians lived.
the white and red used in traditional Martisor could signify: white-winter, color of bones-death and the red: spring, when everithing comes to life again, color of bood...
the symbolism of white combined with red is very old, comes from neolithic and it is encountered everywhere on our traditional costumes and textiles and on our pottery.
I don't give so much creditto the theory that the teritory of my Dacia is romanized, our actual traditional costumes are the same as they where 2000 years ago-see Trajan's Column in Rome.. also our pottery is the same as it was 7000 years ago.
Regarding the language-my daco-romanian language- I believe is older that latin- I believe ii is what they called "latina prisca" the language that was spoken all over Europe and in the Middle orient.... I found roots of romanian words even in luwian, Tochrian, not to mention sanskrit ...and these languages are older than latin, Also, the Proto-indo-europian roots(word roots, of course, of the reconstructed Proto-Indoeuropian language, the language that was spoken by the indo-europians, before the division into celtic, armenian, sanskrit, phoenician,...), are identical - form and meaning- with my modern romanian language...
these are a few more experiments with a curved paper background and white bin-liner to diffuse natural light from a window. as with the last, I think brighter lighting would be better. You can see a grey spot from some issue with the lens I'm trying on these too.

Governor of Florida Jeb Bush at TurboCam, Barrington, New Hampshire on August 7th by Michael Vadon Part 1 of 4
CONCORD, N.H. —Less than a day after the first debate of the GOP primary, former Florida governor Jeb Bush is back in New Hampshire campaigning.
Less than a day after the first debate of the GOP primary, former Florida governor Jeb Bush is back in New Hampshire campaigning.
At a town hall Friday night in Barrington, Bush spoke about how he won't campaign with anger and instead spoke a lot about policy.
He started his day at Brown's Lobster Pound in Seabrook. After greeting voters -- trying a lobster roll -- Bush told reporters he plans to campaign hard on and off the debate stage between now and the primaries.
"I think I did fine (in the debate). I am who I am," Bush said.
He's declining to criticize his Republican rivals, including Donald Trump, who refused to pledge support to the party's eventual nominee. Instead, Bush says he's focused on sharing his record as governor with voters and letting people get to know who he is.
"So you take advantage of opportunities when you have them, speak from your heart," Bush said. "I don't view this debating as question of winning or losing. It's the cumulative effect of shaping peoples opinion of who you are over the long haul."
Bush said Democrats' attacks against him show he is the candidate they fear most.
"Let me think why they would be. Because maybe it's because they consider me the biggest threat," Bush said.

John Ellis "Jeb" Bush (born February 11, 1953) is an American businessman and politician who served as the 43rd Governor of Florida from 1999 to 2007.
Bush is the second son of former President George H. W. Bush and former First Lady Barbara Bush, and the younger brother of former President George W. Bush, grandson of the late Prescott Sheldon Bush, American Banker and United States Senator from Connecticut. He grew up in Houston, Texas. He graduated from the Phillips Academy in Andover, Massachusetts and attended the University of Texas, where he earned a degree in Latin American affairs. Following his father's successful run for Vice President in 1980, he moved to Florida and pursued a career in real estate development. In 1986, Bush was named Florida's Secretary of Commerce, a position he held until his resignation in 1988 to help his father's successful campaign for the Presidency.
In 1994, Bush made his first run for office, narrowly losing the election for governor by less than two percentage points to the incumbent Lawton Chiles. Bush ran again in 1998 and defeated Lieutenant Governor Buddy MacKay with 55 percent of the vote. He ran for reelection in 2002 and won with 56 percent to become Florida's first two-term Republican governor. During his eight years as governor, Bush was credited with initiating environmental improvements, such as conservation in the Everglades, supporting caps for medical malpractice litigation, moving Medicaid recipients to private systems, and instituting reforms to the state education system, including the issuance of vouchers and promoting school choice.
Bush is a candidate for the Republican nomination in the 2016 presidential election.
