The Richardson-Bates House Museum was built for Oswego attorney, real estate developer, and two-term Mayor, Max Richardson (portrait below) in two stages from 1876-1890. In 1946, Richardson's descendants donated the house and furnishings to the Oswego County Historical Society to serve as a Museum and the Society's headquarters.
Today, the house contains period rooms, permanent and changing exhibit galleries, collection storage areas, and a research library. Much of the first floor is preserved as the Richardson family knew it; the Entry Hall, Reception Room, Drawing Room (below), and Dining Room are all furnished in accordance with 1880s photographs that were taken in the house. The second floor contains Naomi Richardson's Bedroom, as well as a permanent Oswego County history exhibit, and a "temporary" gallery featuring rotating exhibits developed from the Museum's collection of about 30,000 objects and photographs.

Philippe's was established in 1908 by Philippe Matthieu, who has claimed to have created the "french dip" sandwich. This has been refuted by others, including another local L.A. eatery, Cole's, which has also claimed to have served the first french dip.
Regardless, Matthieu sold his restaurant in 1927, and the Martin brothers (Harry, Dave and Frank) kept the place open 24/7 until WWII.
A relocation was necessary when the 101 (Hollywood Freeway) was built. They moved to a new location in 1951, and have been there ever since.

i forget what i was taught and only remember what i have learnt
Short-term memory (or "primary" or "active memory") is the capacity for holding a small amount of information in mind in an active, readily available state for a short period of time. The duration of short-term memory (when rehearsal or active maintenance is prevented) is believed to be in the order of seconds. Estimates of short-term memory capacity are 7 plus or minus 2 units, depending upon the experimental design used to estimate capacity. A commonly-cited capacity is 7±2 elements. In contrast, long-term memory indefinitely stores a seemingly unlimited amount of information.
Whatever the cause or causes of forgetting over the short term may be, there is consensus that it severely limits the amount of new information that we can retain over brief periods of time. This limit is referred to as the finite capacity of short-term memory. The capacity of short-term memory is often called memory span, in reference to a common procedure of measuring it. In a memory span test, the experimenter presents lists of items (e.g. digits or words) of increasing length. An individual's span is determined as the longest list length that he or she can recall correctly in the given order on at least half of all trials.
In an early and highly influential article, The Magical Number Seven, Plus or Minus Two, the psychologist George Miller suggested that human short-term memory has a forward memory span of approximately seven items plus or minus two and that that was well known at the time (it seems to go back to the 19th century researcher Wundt). More recent research has shown that this "magical number seven" is roughly accurate for college students recalling lists of digits, but memory span varies widely with populations tested and with material used. For example, the ability to recall words in order depends on a number of characteristics of these words: fewer words can be recalled when the words have longer spoken duration; this is known as the word-length effect, or when their speech sounds are similar to each other; this is called the phonological similarity effect. More words can be recalled when the words are highly familiar or occur frequently in the language. Recall performance is also better when all of the words in a list are taken from a single semantic category (such as sports) than when the words are taken from different categories. According to the available evidence, the best overall estimate of short-term memory is about four pieces or "chunks" of information. In free recall it has been shown, to the contrary, that there is no such "quantized" limit, rather it is a function of memory decaying with time.

Grunge textured warning sign on vintage paper, with the words DO NOT READ THIS SIGN. A conceptual design with a comically self-defeating twist. Special thanks to vectorportal for providing this base vector file to work with.

The day before the Grand Depart I decided to look for Yellow in the streets of Leeds City Centre. I knew I couldnt make it on the actual day so made the most of what was available.

I think the sign says it all but in case there is any doubt, this was created for Sliders Sunday. :-)
Have a wonderful week my friends!!!

I'm glad I shot this when I did. I walked by it a few days ago and the sign was on the ground.
Grand Prairie, TX. Had wanted to see this one for a long time. Here it is in person! I really love this one.
Edinburgh Castle is a historic fortress which dominates the skyline of the city of Edinburgh, Scotland from its position on the Castle Rock. Archaeologists have established human occupation of the rock since at least the Iron Age (2nd century AD), although the nature of the early settlement is unclear.
