I wanted to make a quilt for years, but I kept thinking that it is so difficult and you have to work with so much precision. So, I decided to make some sort of "quilts", in lack of a better name, where I just put together different scraps of fabric in a pleasant way :).
I have made three such quilts. For the first one, I have used all my handkerchiefs from my childhood. Also, my grandmother kept the pieces of fabric that I used as heavy duty handkerchiefs, for times when I had a really runny nose :). I know this sounds gross :), but these fabrics were nicely washed and ironed by my grandmother and kept together with some cloths from my childhood and blankets and such. So, I also included them in my blocks. I really like using this quilt with such familiar patterns, even if some pieces of fabric are really faded. I included some chickens too, to add some color and because I really like chickens.
The second quilt I made collects different scraps that my grandmother and mother kept during the years (from the fifties till the nineties). There are pieces of fabric used for dresses and aprons and curtains. I also included a small embroidery my mother did as a child (it says "Sleep tight, little girl"). I hand sewn the different scraps in more or less similar sized blocks, then hand sewn everything together and machine quilted it with an orange thread. The back is a fabric that I have bought new, I really like the print.
Lulu helped also to arrange the blocks :).
The third quilt is still in progress. I have meant to finish it in January, but it didn't happen. For this one, I used tea towels bought in second hand stores and at the flea market, with a similar pattern of roses. One of them is embroidered by my friend's mother. The fabric for the back is from a second hand store, also.
I hope one day I will have the patience to make a real quilt with nicely constructed blocks, but till then I find these very cosy in winter nights.
I have received from the jeweler this ring that he custom made for me from silver and a canna seed. I like wearing something that potentially could germinate after 600 years.
I wrote these fragments 3 or 4 years ago, but they are still true :). So, I will use them as an introduction to my film camera collection.
I first started taking photos out of anxiety. It was the end of my first year as an art student and an endless summer vacation was about to begin. My mother gave me her old Zenith camera and a book from the eighties in which the technical aspects were explained. I set up a dark room in the bathroom, my mother had had her short period as a photography enthusiast, so she had all the equipment. I remember the happy trips to one shop where they were still selling the chemicals, although it was the end of the nineties and everybody was processing their films in one-hour labs. Of course, I never heard at that time of digital photography. I spent the long, slow, lonely days of that summer taking photos on the streets and the endless evenings processing the films in my dark room. I remember that standing in front of the enlarger, that was set on the washing machine, and then watching the image appear in the chemical bath, I was feeling something very close to happiness, and I was rarely happy at that time in my life.
One of these days, I took out my old photos and looked through them, hoping that I would find some that I would still like. There are hundreds of almost abstract images, textures of bricks and plaster on dilapidated buildings, textures of grass and tree bark from the parks, lines of shadow dropped by the trees, architectural details from the façade of a church, a still life with a few light bulbs placed on tinfoil on my desk at home, etc. I tried to be an artist in those photos and at that time art had nothing to do with life. You cannot tell anything from those photos, not that the person who took them was a woman, that she was frightened, that she doubted her decision to go to art school, that time seemed to her an endless stream of empty moments. Also, you cannot see the city in which she lived, how the streets used to look like, how she used to look like, what people she would meet in her long walks or how would the light change on the walls of her room when she decided to stay at home. Only clumsy attempts to reach some sort of abstract detachment, whose coldness I considered to be art.
I started to do film photography again this summer out of anxiety. I work as an artist now and a big part of my life I wait. I wait for answers from the financers, I wait for the curator's reaction, I wait to finish this project so that I could take a short break, maybe…In this waiting, life is always projected in the future and time transforms in a race towards that future. I blink once and the evening is here, I blink twice and the season changed. Meanwhile, I am happy many times and I fear that precious moments of peace and intimacy and feeling hopeful will be lost, while my personal diary transforms more and more into a to-do list and my thoughts are most of the time filled with practical, pragmatic things that must happen in the near future.
This time, I don't care about art when I take photos. I just want to acknowledge to myself the present moment, to make the present mine. The view from my window in cold mornings, breakfast in the sun lit kitchen while the dog begs for food from under the table, the streets that I walk on every day but that can look so different in different lights, the loved, familiar faces of my friends, my own face, so close to my mental image of it when captured on the imperfect, blurred, soft, light leaked surface of the film. When using a film camera, time is materialised in the concreteness of the negative. You render a piece of time (that you are very much aware of while thinking that you should do, for example, a 1 second exposure in order to get an image of the not so well lit room in which we work and drink coffee) in a concrete object, a piece of film that you can hold in your hands. And this concrete object holds an image that the more imperfect it is the more accurately translates my memory into something that will not fade away and that I can show to others. My digital camera is practical and trustworthy but rarely accurate to my memories.
Same as almost 15 years ago, when I was waiting for the image to form on paper in the red light, now, when I wait to see the scanned image from the film on my computer's screen, I feel happy.
I have and use several old cameras, that I will sometimes show here. These ones are the Romanian ones, produced in socialist times. I really like using them.
This is the first Romanian camera produced by I.O.R. (Romanian Optical Factory), in the mid fifties. It is metal, takes 120 film and it is very simple, but I really like the results it produces. I have found it at the flea market.
This is Orizont, produced around 1960. I bought mine from a flickr friend. He told me I will have a surprise when my camera arrives in the mail, and I was so glad to discover that it used to belong to a worker's union.
These are Oizont Amator and Amator -D. Both found online. They were produced between 1970-1989. My Amator-D is broken, the film advance is not working, but I shot 1 or 2 rolls, by advancing manually in the dark (more or less, dark meaning inside my bag, under my sweater, etc. ) each frame. I was really determined to use it :). But the other one is working fine and I use it often because it is so small and light and quite reliable for such a camera.
This last one is the one I am most proud of: AFS. It is quite rare, because it was the last camera produced by I.O.R. (Romanian Optical Factory), in the late eighties. It is all plastic and I have read it was sold as a kit, for kids to build and learn about photography. I recognized it in a blurry online add, among other cameras, and I was sooo very happy! It takes surprisingly nice and sharp images in good light, on 120 film.
I have a large collection of vintage brooches, bought over the years at the flea market. Nothing really valuable, but I really enjoy wearing them and looking at them and sorting them :).
This one is horn, I think, or some other organic material. I bought it by mistake, because I really don't like to have something that used to belong to an animal, no matter how old or pretty it is. But now, I have it, although I never wear it. It's the same thing with the edelweiss one from the next photo, which is bone, but I have bought it hoping it is bakelite, in times when I wasn't quite sure how bakelite should look like.
But these are bakelite and celluloid and reverse carved lucite.
This big and heavy one is also lucite, I think, mounted on brass and copying amber.
I also have leaves and flowers and trees and animals (real or imaginary :).
This one is silver and hallmarked with the signature of Hans Julius R. Larsen, a mid century artist from Denmark.
This sweet soviet one reminds me so much of my childhood. And the pencils and brush used to belong to me as a child.
Linking up with Thriftasaurus and Vintage Bliss Tuesdays Party.
I bought this brooch at the flea market just because I thought it is pretty and because fall is my favorite season. I imagined it is older (from the eighties) and the texture of the leaves seemed like an interesting plastic. At home, I just randomly googled "autumn leaves brooch", or something similar and my brooch appeared in several etsy, ebay and rubylane listings as an amber brooch that is quite expensive (over 20 euros or much more, while I paid around 1 euro). This got my attention :), although I was quite skeptical about the leaves being amber. But still, my brooch is identical to the ones in the listings in every detail: texture, clasp, color, etc (only the number of leaves varies). The brooch has a hallmark "9RK" (the R is reversed, actually the Cyrillic letter Ya). So it was kind of easy to find out that the leaves are actually Baltic amber produced in the Kaliningrad Amber Factory, in former USSR, sometimes after 1947, when the factory was opened (my brooch is probably from the seventies or eighties). I was quiet proud of my flea market intuition :).
We have looked at this idyllic images one evening through a slide viewer from the seventies, that we have found in a junk shop. We have had these slides and many other from before (someone family's vacation, sometimes in the seventies, also).
I collect antique and vintage photos since a very long time. I was maybe 14 or 15 when I first started to buy them at the flea market or in antique shops. I really wanted to have things that are very old, to start a "collection of antiques" and the photos were at that point the only affordable things. But, on the other hand, I was also fascinated by the people in these pictures and by the scarce and mysterious information that sometimes a handwritten inscription or the stamp of the photographer on the back of the photo could provide. Also, how were these people forgotten, how did their photos end up in a pile at the flea market? How fragile and unreliable is the memory perpetuated through family relations?
I had long periods of time in which I disliked this collection, I hid it in a box and chose to forget about it. All those images of unknown people seemed like a burden. But a few years ago, I rediscovered my collection, from multiple reasons: my rejuvenated interest in photography (some of these antique photos are so beautiful), a still vague intuition about a text I want to write about the objects that outlive us, etc.
So, from time to time I will show here pieces from this collection. This example is the most extreme when it comes to feeling uneasy around these photos. But still, I think it's also beautiful, in a melancholy, creepy kind of way. This two- sided pendant has photos that fade away. When I bought it at the flea market in spring, the portraits were faded but still really visible. These photos were taken in summer. Now, the woman and man almost disappeared from their silver frame. I keep the pendant in a closed box to slow down the process as much as possible, but very soon there will remain only these digital photos.

Did you know that The American Dental Association recommends that a child's first visit to a dentist should occur around twelve months of age?
For many parents in the Goleta, Montecito, and Santa Maria area, this may come as a surprise. Today in the King Dental Group post, we are going to review 4 reasons why your toddler's teeth are worth a dental visit.
1. Twelve months of age happens to be about the time when a child's first teeth tend to erupt. Once those teeth are out, it's time to get them looked at by a professional.
2. One of the most important things your Montecito or Santa Maria dentist will do at this visit will be to clean those young teeth and apply fluoride.
3. Visiting the dentist at a young age is a great way to help your child get used to the dentist's office. This will help them to be more comfortable with the dentist as they grow older.
4. Visiting the dentist also helps parents enlist the help of other adults in establishing good dental habits in their children. Starting early dental visits will mean that later in life your child is less likely to require braces or other cosmetic dentistry procedures such as dental implants.
If your child is apprehensive about visiting the dentist, you might want to bring them for a short tour of our office beforehand. They can meet our friendly staff and learn what to expect when they come in for their exam.
I'm Dr. Jon King, of Santa Barbara. I want my patients to have the best oral health possible. I also want them to look their best, so if you have any questions about a smile makeover or other cosmetic dentistry procedures, contact my caring, family-oriented dental team at 805-687-1548.

Q: Can "so on" and "vice versa" mean the same? The example sentence from a Mathematics book:

0 is predecessor of 1 and 1 is successor of 0. Similarly 1 predecessor of 2 and 2 is successor of 1 and so on.

I thought that we can use" vice versa" as well:

0 is predecessor of 1 and 1 is successor of 0. Similarly 1 predecessor of 2 and 2 is successor of 1 and vice versa.

Can anyone please tell me whether their usage is different to each other, if not then which one is most formal than the other?

A: No, "vice versa" means with the order changed, or with the relations reversed, or conversely. We use it to indicate that a statement would still be true if some of the words in the sentence (often the subject and object, it seems to me) were transposed.
At the moment, you may see that information at the Merriam Webster on-line entry, with an example: "...Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez... has endorsed Nixon (and vice versa)." The meaning is that if we switched the positions of the names to produce the claim that Nixon has endorsed Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, that resulting claim would be true.
But if you should say that 1 is the predecessor of 2 and 2 is the successor of 1 and vice versa, you would be saying that 2 is the predecessor of 1 and 1 is the successor of 2. That that statement would be incorrect; because in fact 2 is not the predecessor of 1 and 1 is not the successor of 2.
The two expressions (and so on, vice versa) seem perfectly proper to me in formal or informal contexts. But I suppose that the words "and so on," and the expression "etc.", are often used by lazy speakers to hint at further examples in a way that leaves us just guessing what they might be. So perhaps one should think twice before using them.

A: The two phrases so on and vice-versa mean different things and so are not interchangeable. So on indicates that you can keep generating examples or material -- often by following the example that was just provided (but not always). Vice-versa indicates an inversion. To illustrate vice versa, consider that the following sentences are equivalent:

*

*The first baseman can throw to the second baseman, and the second baseman can throw to the first baseman.

*The first baseman can throw to the second baseman, and vice-versa.

A: "Vice versa" is the shortened form of taking two things that are reversible and describing that reversible...ness. "...and so on" is a continuation where you're forcing the reader/listener to infer the next steps through logic.
However, technically "and so on" can include "vice versa" if the list that you're summing up with "and so on" contains sets of reversible things. For (an overly contrived) example:

All of my siblings have happy marriages: I love my wife and she loves me. My brother loves his wife and she loves him. My sister loves her husband and he loves her. My other sister loves her husband and he loves her.

...could be turned into...

Myself, my brother, and my two sisters all have happy marriages: I love my wife and vice versa. My brother loves his wife and vice versa, and so on.

This is not the greatest example, but it's the best one that I could come up with.

A: No. Vice versa is used for swapping the order of 2 entities with similar relationship. so on is used for continuing a list of similar things. In your case, you are explaining the predecessor- successor relation between 2 consecutive numbers and after 2 such examples, your list continues. Hence "so on" is appropriate here. However, if  the relation is similar from both ends, you can use vice versa e.g. 1 is neighbor to 2 and vice versa (meaning 1 & 2 share a similar relation to each other which is neighborhood and it means the same from both end, even when the positions are swapped)

Gentle Giants are an ambitious, family-run removal and storage company based in Hampshire who have been steadily growing since their formation in 2000. The owners first approached Upsite in 2013 when their existing website had become dated and was in desperate need of a rebuild.
In a world where first impressions are incredibly important, Gentle Giants asked Upsite to design them a website that would instill an image of trust, professionalism and great service. With more and more of their customers using phones to search for local removal firms, a mobile friendly website was imperative with local SEO a key requisite to the ongoing success of the business.
We built a brand new website from the ground up using the Bootstrap framework to create a clean, professional looking website that was responsive and optimised for mobiles and tablets. We carried out a comprehensive keyword discovery phase and used the results to focus our attention on local SEO and specific landing pages that targeted the search opportunities we discovered.
The Gentle Giants team were so happy with their new site and excited by the opportunities we'd uncovered that they asked us to continue working with them on a monthly basis to manage their site and improve their SEO as the company grew.
In that time we have added an online shop, migrated their website to https, created new landing pages and areas to reflect the growth and developments within the business as well as consulted them on potential opportunities within the industry that their customers are looking for.
Taking a content rich, organic focus we have continued to work hard on getting their website to rank for a large range of keywords and long tail keywords, whilst also keep the site healthy, fast-loading and search engine friendly.
To date, Gentle Giants have benefitted from steadily increasing traffic since the launch of their new website in 2013. They continually rank in the top 3 positions for a number of their targeted key phrases and continue to climb search engine rankings for new targeted keywords.
Upsite have helped Gentle Giants significantly improve their marketing return on investment, moving budget spend away from poorly performing paid advertising campaigns and investing it on organic SEO and more sustainable results.
We're continuing to work with Gentle Giants as they continue to roll out new services and expand their operations. From document shredding to a bespoke AirBnB package, Upsite are working side by side with Gentle Giants as we try to keep up with their ongoing developments and ever evolving plans.
Our affordability and flexible working relationship has proven to be hugely beneficial and we're looking forward to what the future holds.


Architecture critics have been almost unanimous in their hatred of New York 's new Hudson Yards development, a generic pop-up landscape of soulless glass towers and high-end retail built over the wasteland of midtown Manhattan's west-side rail yard. Longtime New Yorkers, and transplants with taste, are inclined to agree: It's as ugly as Dubai, it reeks of greed and mammon, and it only exacerbates the worst tendencies of a city that seems hellbent on erasing anything distinctive or humane in its built environment.
Diller Scofidio + Renfro also designed New York's enormously successful elevated park known as the High Line, a converted railway that terminates at the base of the Shed on 30th Street. More than decade ago, they teamed up with Rockwell Group and responded to a request for proposals for over 20,000 square feet of land at Hudson Yard, set aside by the city for a cultural use. Their idea: a large, flexible multipurpose arts and cultural venue, which opens to the public Friday.
But it also must be somehow transient, or fleeting -- art that exists outside the idea of a lasting canon of art, work that reflects the cruel ideology of public space in cities like New York, where everything is always being remade, passing away, plowed under and built over. Hence, the Shed, which sounds like something found in a backyard but is built at industrial scale, with industrial elements, including six-foot-wide steel wheels that carry the 120-foot-tall canopy along the rails, like the giant cranes that load cargo ships in a modern seaport. Clad in pillows of synthetic material that mimic the thermal properties of glass (with a fraction of the weight), the Shed, when open, encloses some 2 million cubic feet of interior space and can accommodate up to 3,000 people when the inner galleries are configured for expanded seating.
So it is a building with a giant, extendible cover. When the canopy is closed, it is nestled over the permanent structure, which contains an array of galleries, theaters and event spaces. When the canopy is extended, it can be used for larger performances, blacked out with shades for theater or concerts, or left open on the sides to connect with the plaza outside. Events scheduled for the Shed's first few months give a sense of the many ways it can be used: a multi-evening survey of African American music created by artist and filmmaker Steve McQueen; an exhibition by Gerhard Richter paired with immersive musical performances of works by composers Steve Reich and Arvo Part; and an adaptation of Euripides's "Helen" by Anne Carson, starring soprano Renée Fleming and actor Ben Whishaw. The rest of the season is equally ambitious, with a theater piece by Bjork and a martial-arts musical; almost all of it is newly commissioned work.
Architecturally, the Shed can't redeem the Hudson Yards debacle. It sits next to a giant folly known as the Vessel, designed by Thomas Heatherwick, which is fast becoming the neighborhood's Instagram identity icon: An inverted ziggurat of open stairs and walkways, it is clad in gaudy polished copper, and it connects the district to the New York area of Trump Tower and other vulgarities. The Shed is perched too closely but to the side of the Vessel (now derisively called the Golden Shawarma), and it sits slightly aloof to the shopping plaza with all the usual dreary markers of nouveau riche aspiration (Coach, Dior, Cartier, Fendi and all the other trash). The underside of the High Line can be seen from the Shed's street-level lobby, symbolically tethering the new cultural space to the New York neighborhoods of Chelsea and the Village, where a few bewildered souls may still cherish memories of these once bohemian areas before they were overrun by real estate developers.
The Shed's impact on the larger cultural architecture of New York is uncertain. The city already has spaces, such as the Park Avenue Armory, that host multidisciplinary, large-format performance and exhibition events. Led by artistic director Alex Poots, the Shed will produce new work, which will probably be sui generis, reflecting the architectural possibilities of the building for which it was made, and thus not traveling beyond the space, or outside, of the particular cultural milieu that flocks to it. The Shed is meant to be a tool, infinitely adaptable, but it will also forge its own aesthetic. One hopes it will retain some kind of democratic sensibility, that it will intersect with the hard-working artistic grass-roots of the city without succumbing to the self-congratulatory, high-end cosmopolitan chic that defines much of what gets made in New York these days (remember Bjork's crazy, pretentious one-woman show at the Museum of Modern Art?).
If its relation to the Yards and the New York cultural scene remains ambivalent or ambiguous, the Shed's architectural message is a bit clearer. It makes manifest something that was latent in the High Line -- the evolving meaning of our old, industrial infrastructure. The High Line turned a rusting elevated rail line into the city's most fashionable park, and in the process, it stimulated rapid economic development of its surrounding neighborhoods. At the time, repurposing industrial relics seemed a natural extension of an architectural ideal that sought connection across class lines, that paid homage to the kinds of people who once worked in the industrial economy.
But with the Shed, the industrial aesthetic is now fully divorced from any vestigial memories of the now decimated blue-collar America. It is industrial without any trace of the old grit. There's a certain honesty in that -- nostalgia for the working class easily becomes a kind of condescension -- and the building's primary charm (it moves!) is essential to its function. So perhaps we can at last acknowledge that the new architecture of cultural institutions, with its emphasis on breaking down barriers and Shed-like elements of impermanence and adaptability, is just a different language than the old architecture of elevated entrances and grand facades. It still requires a ticket to get in, you feel special when you're there, and it's probably sold out through January.

Q: No build tools installed in the SDK (sdk tools already installed) I'm having trouble exporting my first APK in eclipse. When I click on finish, I get the message: No build tools installed in the SDK.
I've googled the problem but all the results say that i have to install Android SDK Tools, but I have it and it's been updated (22.0.1).
Any ideas?
Thanks!
EDIT:
I have ALL the packages installed but still the same error.
Ubuntu 12.04
Eclipse 3.8.0
JDK 7

A: From version 22 forward the build tools is a separate package. Open then Android SDK Manager and check Android SDK Build-tools and click install. The package will download and you'll be able to export/build.

A: If eclipse is pointing to the wrong Android SDK it won't find the build tools. If you're sure you installed the right build tools, it may be that eclipse is pointed to the wrong directory. So if you're on windows, in eclipse, goto Window -> Preferences -> Android, and check the field in "SDK Location" eclipse is looking for the build tools in a subdirectory of that folder. Goto that folder and run the SDK Tools.exe and install everything in that GUI and it should work. Otherwise, change the path to your other SDK installation.
Here's a kinda same tutorial for Mac:
Add SDK to eclipse and no Target


Last night in an effort not to leave my apartment as the snow was falling, I thought, what can I make with what's in the house? As you all already know, I love Indian food. I've come across a lot of curried chick pea recipes that I've always wanted to try. I saw this recipe and thought, I think I can make this with what I have in the apartment right now. Below is the adapted version based on my pantry items. It was delicious.
Sweat the onion in the oil olive until translucent over medium heat, about 5 minutes. Add in the ginger and the garlic, cook for about 2 minutes. Add in the crushed tomatoes, cayenne pepper, coriander powder, garam masala and chick peas. Cook together for about 5 minutes. Add in the creamed spinach and cook together for about 10 minutes over low heat. Serve and enjoy!
