February 20th, Tucson: Artist Talk by Frank Gohlke "The Wild Apples of Kazakhstan"
Center for Creative Photography
Artist Talk by Frank Gohlke, The Wild Apples of Kazakhstan
Thursday, February 20, 2014 at 5:30 pm
Free and open to the public.
"University of Arizona photo professor Frank Gohlke will give a talk about his current project, a study of wild apple forests in Kazakhstan, funded by a Fulbright Scholar Research Grant. Gohlke's apple passion dates back 40 years to a commencement address delivered by the late John Szarkowski to the graduating class of the Minneapolis College of Art and Design. Gohlke's fascination grew during a three-year stay in Middlebury, Vermont, where he first experienced apple cider fresh from a press. "Apples" by Frank Browning (North Point Press, 1998), introduced Gohlke to the wild apple forests of Kazakhstan, from which domesticated apples grown across the world are derived.
Gohlke's lecture will include photographs of earlier projects that presage aspects of the Kazakhstan work, and a group of images made since December 2013 in the first stage of the current project."

The focus of the discussion will concentrate on Mr. Heinecken's penchant for experimenting with photographic processes and materials.
Batten is Associate Professor of Photography at the School of Art and Design at the University of Illinois. He received his MFA in photography from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago."
This lecture is being presented in conjunction with the exhibition Speaking in Tongues: Wallace Berman and Robert Heineken, 1961-1976. It will be on view until June 17, 2012.

He looked good in Oakland game. I am looking forward to seeing how he plays against Browns tonight. Physically, he may be the fastest and strongest rookie DL in the NFL. His stats in the combine (jump,bench press, and 40-yd dash in 4.55 were tops. I think he is a great prospect.
Me 2 Ric. I might be able to watch it on my phone thru sunday ticket app. It appears this is your 1st post David so welcome to the board. It's a great board IMHO.
he is a steal for the draft... like almost every pick we had. Scary to think about that if we really got 5 or even 6 starters out of this draft
Emery has the ability to do what JA couldn't find legit talent at all levels of the draft, not all will work out(Hardin) but at this point he's hitting more then not. Shea and Long(regardless of how they work out bust or boom) were risks/reaches so all he really needs to do is settle down the 1st round draft picks and he's going to have the chance to build a dynasty. Washington was a great pick up, and the best thing is he gets to sit for 1-2 years behind the starters and learn and develop.
Yes. He's had other good plays. He didn't have a sack against Browns, but did get good penetration despite getting double-teamed several times. He has more upside potential than McCllen in my opinion, because of his superior strength and speed. I hope they play him, especially on passing downs.
If Shea is not productive, I hope they give Washington an opportunity to play and move up on the depth chart.
I think Washington played some at LB at Georgia. With his 4.55 speed, we could line him up at OLB and rush with both of them. Might be interesting
Shea's sack looked like it came off of when he was roaming, not lined up as a straight DE, although I never saw a replay of where he lined up from the get go, but it came from inside the line, and not on the outside. This his how he needs to be used. As a Roamer, not as someone that engages the DE.
I agree. Shea isn't going to bull rush anybody. If we can't somehow get more pass rush than today, Packers and Lions will score 30+ on us.

Since your car's gasoline tank is situated far from the engine, the gas delivery system requires a pump to force enough fuel into your car's main injectors. Without the Mitsubishi Sigma fuel pump, your engine might not get enough fuel, which can then lead to a variety of car troubles. In a worst case scenario, your engine might not start because of a broken fuel pump.
Several engine problems might lead to a fully busted pump. Once a fuel filter gets clogged with grime, the fuel pump will rapidly break down; this part'll have to actually pump harder to transport the fuel through the jammed filter. It's quite possible for a pump to get jammed with debris from the actual filter, so make sure to always check the filter for indications of damage. If the pump breaks, do not worry; buying a replacement component is a cinch, as long as you actually know where to start looking. When looking for a brand-new Mitsubishi Sigma fuel pump, keep in mind the label, the material used, and its suitability with your ride's specs.
To make things easy, let Parts Train help you get what you need. Our site features top-quality parts that are manufactured to fit your ride, and a consumer-friendly product listing. In terms of product quality, trust us to provide you with items from various well-known Mitsubishi Sigma fuel pump makers that actually include OES Genuine, Replacement, and Bosch.

Depending on how you look at it the countdown has either ended or is about to begin for NASA's $20 billion SEWP V contract.
The space agency has released the request for proposals for the fifth iteration of the Solutions for Enterprise-Wide Procurement, which NASA first started in 1993 to deliver a wide range of products and related services to government agencies.
The deadline for proposals is Oct. 14 and NASA said it will award contracts with a five-year base and one five-year option, which will take the contract out to 2024.
Awards will come in four groups. One group is in Category A for computer-based sysems, which will be a full-and-open competition.
There are three groups under Category B:
The current SEWP contract is held by some 50 companies and has had $10.3 billion in task orders run through it since it got started in 2006. By 2007, it had over $500 million in task orders. It broke the $1 billion in annual task order in 2008 and has averaged about $2 billion a year since 2010, according to the market research firm Deltek.
The top five companies are:

Ebix Inc. Stock Downgraded (EBIX)
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Ebix (Nasdaq:EBIX) has been downgraded by TheStreet Ratings from buy to hold. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its robust revenue growth, largely solid financial position with reasonable debt levels by most measures and increase in net income. However, as a counter to these strengths, we find that the stock has had a generally disappointing performance in the past year.
- EXCLUSIVE OFFER: Jim Cramer's Protégé, Dave Peltier, only buys Stocks Under $10 that he thinks could potentially double. See what he's trading today with a 14-day FREE pass.
- The revenue growth came in higher than the industry average of 3.6%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues rose by 19.9%. This growth in revenue appears to have trickled down to the company's bottom line, improving the earnings per share.
- EBIX's debt-to-equity ratio is very low at 0.20 and is currently below that of the industry average, implying that there has been very successful management of debt levels. Along with the favorable debt-to-equity ratio, the company maintains an adequate quick ratio of 1.44, which illustrates the ability to avoid short-term cash problems.
- EBIX INC has improved earnings per share by 12.5% in the most recent quarter compared to the same quarter a year ago. The company has demonstrated a pattern of positive earnings per share growth over the past two years. However, we anticipate underperformance relative to this pattern in the coming year. During the past fiscal year, EBIX INC increased its bottom line by earning $1.81 versus $1.75 in the prior year. For the next year, the market is expecting a contraction of 16.6% in earnings ($1.51 versus $1.81).
- The company's current return on equity has slightly decreased from the same quarter one year prior. This implies a minor weakness in the organization. Compared to other companies in the Software industry and the overall market, EBIX INC's return on equity exceeds that of both the industry average and the S&P 500.
- EBIX's stock share price has done very poorly compared to where it was a year ago: Despite any rallies, the net result is that it is down by 52.54%, which is also worse that the performance of the S&P 500 Index. Investors have so far failed to pay much attention to the earnings improvements the company has managed to achieve over the last quarter. Naturally, the overall market trend is bound to be a significant factor. However, in one sense, the stock's sharp decline last year is a positive for future investors, making it cheaper (in proportion to its earnings over the past year) than most other stocks in its industry. But due to other concerns, we feel the stock is still not a good buy right now.

Dear happytalk, sorry to inform you but Sandra Bullock did not wear the same dress as Julia Robert wore in Pettry Woman. Maybe the same color but the similarities between the two dresses stop there. Sandra Bullock is an original dress by an international designer Vera Wang. Julia Roberts opera red dress was by custom designer Marilyn Vance-Straker, different styles. Roberts dress was deep v-cut or 'dart' neckline and ruffled, off-the shoulder sleeves, silk fabric of the dress is brought in at the waist before flowing out to the floor. and Guess What? Julia Robert was not an original desing it was have been inspiration for a number of recent designer pieces, including Christian Dior's bow-back dress, and is even filtering through to high street prom dress boutiques. I hope I was able to clarify the difference between both dresses.

Why did Sandra Bullock wear the same dress that Julia Roberts wore in Pretty Woman. Maybe she doesn't remember the famous necklace scene. And Jennifer Hudson, my girl, your boobs looks a mess in that dress. Why didn't someone tell you they messed up the entire look? Still love ya girl!

Jennifer Lawrence's dress is like the one Scarlett Johannson wore a few years to the Golden Globes.
Sandra is probably best of these ladies.

Baila! Baila! Dance Academy shares the native songs, dances, and cultures of Mexico to a younger generation of fleet-footed students. Founded by sisters Felissa M. Garcia and Israela M. Garcia, the academy nurtures students through the complex and time-honored movements of traditional Mexican folk dance, as well as the more modern permutations of country western, hip hop, and salsa dancing. Students age two and up stage regular performances robed in traditional attire and have traveled to train with the dance masters at La Universidad de Guadalajara.
Teaching hips to swivel to new circumferences, trained dance instructors impart their masterful moves unto students in the respected tradition Arthur Murray has upheld since 1912. On the Albuquerque studio's more than 3,100-square-foot floor—a dance destination since 1952—students can tackle ballroom, social, or Latin dance, bringing a partner to their private lessons or flying solo and dancing with the instructor. Protégés may find their new moves applicable in a number of settings, such as when prepping for a wedding dance or when blending into an airport crowd that breaks out in a cha-cha. Regularly scheduled dance parties let students practice what they learned in lessons, slicing and dicing rugs with new fleet-footed friends.
Myra Krien has belly danced since she could walk. Coming from a family that produces zen philosophers and artists, she harbored a natural curiosity for the arts, and when her mother brought her to her first belly-dancing lesson at the age of 3, Myra never toddled away. In the intervening years, Myra has studied with some of the Middle East's most prolific and respected dancers, and her dancing has earned her gigs opening for musicians and other artists throughout the United States.
Now, as the owner and director of Pomegranate Studios, Myra and her team of instructors introduce new dancers to the art and refine intermediate dancers' skills in myriad classes. Students can learn styles spanning from Asia to urban America or tone up muscles in sessions designed for fitness. The studio's dance company trains performers aspiring to become professional dancers, and Myra's afterschool S.E.E.D.S program helps young women avoid the normal afterschool hopscotch gambling rings while teaching them about empowerment and educating them in the arts.
At Albuquerque Stars, students can begin to practice their pirouettes as young as age 3. They're helped along by instructors who respect each child's skill level, and who impart the values of teamwork and confidence as passionately as they demonstrate each leap and spin. Their curriculum covers a wide range of styles, including jazz, ballet, tap, hip-hop, and tumbling. Though students are welcome to learn dance as a casual hobby, they are also encouraged to perform in yearly Stars National Dance Program competitions.
Inside Farfesha Belly Dance's roomy new studio, women increase their flexibility and learn to follow their torso's dance leads during four fun belly-dancing classes. Body parts often ignored are trained to gyrate healthily during a beginning belly-dance class, which introduces first-time stomach shakers to the basic moves of this core-centric dancing art. Intermediate and advanced classes layer these moves into more complicated steps, while also throwing in zills and props such as veils and canes, though flaming fedoras are left for those who have achieved level 36 Paladin-Cleric stamina ascension. Classes meet once a week for an hour; customers do not have to attend consecutive classes, but all four classes must be used within a span of six months.
Quartets of feet step and slide across a hardwood floor, crossing the space between walls adorned with colorful artwork. The vivid decor sets the tone for the sizzling routines demonstrated by prestigious instructors, who guide new and experienced dancers through the techniques and dramatic floral arranging that characterize tango. Pairs and solo students can partake in group classes, private sessions, and special events on the academy's schedule. Online primers on the style's history and music complement newfound kinetic knowledge with a solid background in the dance's origins.

Among the biggest challenges Gov. Perdue faces is improving North Carolina's education system. Lowering North Carolina's dropout rate will be one of the new Governor's top education priorities. Currently, almost 30 percent of students who enter high school fail to graduate four years later. In 2006-07, over 23,500 students dropped out of North Carolina's public schools.
Improving public education in North Carolina is a topic that usually generates more heat than light. One of the reasons is that much of the discussion is dominated by long-held myths about public education.
The 2007-2008 legislative sessions were marked by strong but uneven growth in appropriations for the University of North Carolina (UNC) and North Carolina Community College System (NCCCS). NCCCS moved forward with a controversial directive – which it later reversed, and is currently again reviewing – to admit illegal immigrants. The Legislature continued to finance UNC construction projects through authorization of record amounts of non-voter approved certificates of participation (COPs). Major legislation impacting higher education includes:
Improving K-12 public education was one of lawmakers' top priorities for the 2007-2008 legislative sessions. In spite of boosting education appropriations, expanding selected programs and providing more incentives for teachers, the Legislature failed to effectively address a host of pressing challenges or move forward on a variety of education reform measures that enjoyed widespread public support.
As the State Board of Community Colleges prepares to meet this Thursday and Friday, August 14-15, the Civitas Institute urged board members to maintain the community college system's ban on illegal alien admissions. Civitas' letter to board members notes that, not only do voters support continuing the ban, but that doing so will benefit North Carolina's working families and bolster the long-term value of a community college education.
Is Mike Easley America's greatest education governor? The National Education Association (NEA) recently said so and honored the North Carolina Governor for "his achievements in transforming North Carolina's public school system." Before we send our congratulatory letters, let's look at the record.
One week after the end of session, Attorney General Roy Cooper's office has announced that the state community college system is permitted to enroll illegal aliens. The announcement reverses a previous opinion, released one week before the 2008 session convened, which had advised against admitting illegal aliens.
We've heard the assertion a thousand times: higher education IS the engine of economic growth. An educated population IS the foundation on which to build the knowledge economy of the 21st century. Such thinking has been behind North Carolina's historically high levels of spending for colleges and universities. During most of the last thirty years, the state's financial investment has consistently exceeded neighboring states as well as the national average.
Last week the state Board of Education voted to strip some funding from charter schools that fail to meet state teacher licensing requirements. Current rules specify that 75 percent of elementary school and 50 percent of middle and high school teachers in charter schools must be licensed or certified by the state, but many schools fall short of those percentages. Now, such schools risk having state dollars withheld, and even the possibly of a state-imposed shutdown.
Raleigh, N.C. – With the controversial land transfer tax on the Orange County ballot less than three weeks from today, North Carolina voters overwhelmingly oppose the idea that county commissioners spend money to promote the referendum that will increase taxes.
North Carolina's public school system is in need of fundamental reform. While education spending continues to grow, key measures of student progress demonstrate that the system is not adequately serving our state's children and families. State funding for education has increased by $3.5 billion since 1998 and 32 percent over the last six years. […]
Since passage of legislation to legalize the education lottery in North Carolina in 2005, gambling has been treated like other public vices. Simply put: the public tolerates smoking, drinking and gambling, but it wants the activities regulated and kept away from children. Some recent developments make me think officials at the North Carolina Education Lottery are ignoring public sentiment and are intent on creating their own rules.
"Cool wisdom." That's the phrase the News & Observer used in an editorial ("Defending Open Doors") to summarize outgoing community college President Martin Lancaster's statement justifying the admission of illegal immigrants to the state's community colleges. I strongly disagree with the News & Observer's assessment, mostly because I find Lancaster's statement riddled with inaccuracies and doubtful claims. Let me explain.
The U.S. Census Bureau, American Community Survey, estimates population demographics annually. After applying parameters for citizenship and school enrollment to the 2006 ACS data, the data revealed 12,650 non-U.S. citizens in North Carolina enrolled in public undergraduate institutions. "Non-U.S. Citizens" are either in the country legally (in this case, as holders of a student visa) or illegally. The chart below illustrates the breakdown of these students based on data reported by the UNC and N.C. community college systems. See below for methodology.

We were recently Tweeted an inquiry about what exactly cloud computing means. If you are listening in to tech chatter these days it's impossible to avoid the flurry of opinions about what the cloud is.
So ... we figured we might as well add our two cents and spent a thought provoking morning developing a cloud stack analogy.
Cloud services tend to fit into the category of SaaS (Software-as-a-Service), PaaS (Platform-as-a-Service) or IaaS(Infrastructure-as-a-Service), each one delivering a service that encompasses the stack components below. So, IaaS provides everything needed for server operation so that customers don't have to set-up their own server operation, hardware and server connectivity. PaaS adds a further layer of integrating providing the traditional server stack elements and installed code bases and databases as well as frequently layering on a codeless development environment. And SaaS delivers a complete application to end users via the browser with the rest of the cloud stack supporting it.
While this model seems very helpful in describing the rough layers of the cloud stack, there are is in fact a continuum of cloud services spanning from Iaas to Saas. The key to understanding this continuum is to understand the trade-off between efficiency and flexibility of different requirements. For example, I recently had a need for a collaborative mark-up tool that would quickly screen capture a website and allow me to add comments and graphics as a way to model user experience for our client projects.
I naturally turned to the cloud to seek solutions. Taking the IaaS route could have yielded something along the lines deploying an Amazon EC2 (aws.amazon.com) server and running Gimp as a cloud service ... a pretty cool idea for an enterprise solution but likely a 6 month endeavor and overkill for my simple requirement. On the other hand I spent about 30 minutes searching the web and found the SaaS image tool Aviary (www.aviary.com) which did the job just fine.
This cloud continuum is also helpful to understand why we see PaaS as an optimal tool for business process application development. Most SaaS applications are too limited in scope and lack the flexibility to support and enterprise or even small business management application. On the other hand just leveraging IaaS for application hosting does not yield the efficiency and cost benefits that SaaS delivers. PaaS tools like QuickBase (www.quickbase.com), WorkXpress (www.workxpress.com) and Wolf Frameworks (www.wolfframeworks.com) allow for flexibility and customization of applications at rapid speeds and low costs.

With a preliminary overnight audience of 1.4 million viewers, the new series was statistically tied* with CTV's CASTLE as the most-watched program in Canada Monday night.
"It's clear Canadians love this homegrown version of the worldwide MASTERCHEF sensation," said Phil King, President, CTV, Sports, and Entertainment Programming. "This is just the beginning of MASTERCHEF CANADA, with even more diverse culinary talent from across the country to be served up this season."
Among A25-54 MASTERCHEF CANADA led the night with 654,000 viewers. With growth through the hour with A25-54 and A18-49, the premiere earned 9% more total viewers than the next most-watched program of the night THE BLACKLIST (NBC/Global, 1.25 million), and 18% more viewers than the #2 show in its timeslot, MURDOCH MYSTERIES (CBC, 1.16 million).
Ranking as CTV's top program of the night in Toronto, MASTERCHEF CANADA saw strong key demo ratings of 4.9 (A25-54), 4.7 (A18-49), and 4.4 (A18-34) in the market. MASTERCHEF CANADA also drew notable key demo ratings in Vancouver, peaking with a 5.2 among A18-34.
On Twitter, there were almost 3,000 posts pertaining to the series in the 24 hours leading in, with an estimated reach of 5.9 million.
Viewers can watch last night's episode on demand at CTV.ca and the CTV GO app.

Then for Episode 3, MASTERCHEF CANADA airs immediately following SUPER BOWL XLVIII on CTV on Sunday, Feb. 2 (approximately 10:30 p.m. ET).

The Great River Road, a 3,000-mile stretch of highway along the Mississippi River which winds from Minnesota to the Gulf of Mexico, is turning 75.

A ceremony on the significance, economic and tourism impact of the road is planned at the riverfront stage beneath the Gateway Arch.

Commission officials say travelers spend more than $25 billion annually in communities along the Great River Road, supporting thousands of jobs in ten states.
Econo Lodge evacuated after meth lab discovery
Thursday, 19 September 2013 10:10 Published in Local NewsGuests at a local motel were evacuated overnight after a suspected meth lab was discovered during a police response to a domestic disturbance. Sunset Hills police were called to a room at the Econo Lodge Inn at Lindbergh and Watson Rds. around midnight. While investigating that incident, an officer discovered another crime in progress in a different room. Sunset Hills police chief William LeGrand says the officer saw a subject sitting outside the hotel cutting batteries with a pipe cutter. The policeman then saw smoke and pushed the room door open to make sure that there wasn't a fire. At that point, the Chief says, the officer was overcome a bit by the fumes. The subject was arrested. He had apparently been attempting to cook methamphetamine in the room. After St. Louis County police Hazmet crews inspected the area, guests were allowed to return to their rooms. The officer was taken to the hospital, treated and released. Charges have not yet been filed.
ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) -- Adam Erne had two power-play goals and also scored in the shootout to lift the Tampa Bay Lightning to a 4-3 win over the St. Louis Blues on Wednesday.
J.T. Brown had two assists for the Lightning, who rallied back from a 3-0 deficit. Tom Pyatt also scored for the Lightning.
Dmitrij Jaskin scored twice for St. Louis and Jaden Schwarz had the other goal for the Blues, who missed both attempts in the shootout.
Both teams held out most of their star players.
Jaskin had a wraparound goal in the first period and was also alone on his second goal at 1:52 of the second period.
The Blues forward threw a seemingly harmless shot at the goal from just inside the boards that Lightning goalie Cedrick Desjardins let sail over his shoulder for a 2-0 Blues lead.
Kristers Gudlevskis replaced DesJardins in the middle of the period and allowed a goal to Schwartz on the first shot he faced to make it 3-0.
Erne deflected a shot from Mark Barberio late in the second period to cut the deficit to 3-1.
Erne struck again 1:31 into the third period, scoring from right in front of the net after a centering pass from Brown.
Pyatt tied the game with a sharply-angled shot from the left wing that surprised Blues goalie Brian Elliott.

After labelling the SPCA "environmental bandits", economist Gareth Morgan has offered to pay the society a $5 bounty for every free-ranging, homeless cat destroyed by an authorised facility.
"Any cat that is free to range should be a dead cat," Dr Morgan said.
The philanthropist economist's Cats To Go campaign has sparked an international debate between cat lovers, conservationists, animal welfare groups and scientists over domestic cats' role in killing native species, especially birds.
"If a cat's not chipped, it's euthanised - Jesus, you'd think this was radical, but this is what we do with dogs," Dr Morgan said.
Under the bounty regime, all cats turned in to authorised disposal facilities would first be tested for microchips to determine ownership. Owned cats would be returned to their homes, ideally with a fine for the owner.
SPCA national chief executive Robyn Kippenberger said bounty systems were an ineffective "nonsense" that were often abused by people who disliked or had cruel intentions towards cats.
"Not every cat is microchipped - your darling moggie could be whipped up and then we become the cat disposal society. We're not a killing shop and I don't think anyone in New Zealand would expect us to be."
A $5 bounty would not be enough to humanely destroy cats - an operation that can cost the society up to $20. Dr Morgan's money would be better spent helping the society to desex animals, Ms Kippenberger said.
Dr Morgan also railed against the SPCA's trap, neuter and return policy, which returns stray cats to colonies. He called for people to stop donating to the SPCA until the policy was discarded.
Ms Kippenberger said Dr Morgan was "showboating" and that the system was the only one proven to control and reduce stray cat populations.
Wellington's Zealandia wildlife sanctuary conservation manager Raewyn Empson supported Dr Morgan's calls for robust debate around responsible cat ownership, but not his euthanasia solution.
In July Ms Empson urged cat owners not to replace their pets once they died, so as to curb the deaths of native birds reared in the suburban eco-island.
Yesterday she said euthanising free-ranging cats was "a really gnarly question". "Who's going to make that decision that a cat does not have a home? It's a very delicate and sensitive issue."
Dr Morgan has also proposed a public meeting in Karori to discuss how to enhance the "halo effect" around the sanctuary that would allow birds to fly in and out without being attacked by cats.
"Why is the council putting money [into Zealandia] when it's just the most expensive cat food factory imaginable?" he said.
Research published in the science journal Nature this week backs his claims, showing cats are the No 1 threat to wildlife in the United States and kill between 1.4 and 3.7 billion birds yearly, more than four times the previous estimates.

Rodeo clown performs for first time since Obama mask scandal
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — A rodeo clown has performed for the first time since a controversial State Fair rodeo act that mocked President Barack Obama.
The Jefferson City News-Tribune reports that rodeo clown Tuffy Gessling hammed it up for the crowd during a pro bull riding event Friday in Jefferson County.
Beforehand, Gessling said everything has been very overwhelming and that he's surprised people took offense to the politically themed skit. It featured another clown wearing an Obama mask, while Gessling made comments — including "We're gonna stomp Obama" — to the crowd.
Gessling says the skit had been performed before, and that several past presidents' faces were placed in similar scenarios. Gessling had other shows scheduled between his State Fair and Jefferson City appearances, but they were canceled.

Sep 11, 2013A Grade II-listed Georgian terraced house in the Spitalfields area of London, lovingly transformed into a piece of living theatre by its late American owner Dennis Severs. Severs' intention had been to make the house look as if it were still occupied by an 18th Century Huguenot family. There are so many theatrical touches here it's hard to tell where set design leaves off and high camp begins. Nevertheless, it's as worthwhile an attraction for visitors and Londoners alike.

Mar 14, 2013This is my all time favorite place to take visitors to London. A house located in Spitalfields (East London) originally built in 1794 - is painstakenly restored - but in a way that tantalizes all of your senses. It is an multi sensory experience that truly takes you back in time. You will get a sense of the family that lived there, the food they ate and the things they did. It is almost as if they could still be there! You must book in advance. http://www.dennissevershouse.co.uk/
Recommended for:Family Travelers - Dennis Severs' HouseOmer RanJul 03, 2012
A very interesting experience - the house seems as if it was frozen in time (or rather, if you were brought back in time), with the fire still burning in the fireplace, and the desserts still on the tables (you can smell it too). The atmosphere tells the story of the residents of the house using various hints (there are some 'explicit' explanations, though).

Hidden jewel of London - been there several times. Part-museum part art exhibit.
