Online Menu of Smithsonian Chowder House, Hatfield, MA

smithsonian chowder house

We all have them, those little hole-in-the-wall places that we’ve driven or walked by a million times thinking, “I should go in there,” but for some reason we never get around to it? I’ve discovered several great places that way (and a few marginal ones as well, to be honest), but one of our more frequent day trip destinations in Northampton, MA. It’s a nice little college town, with a yarn shop that Carol likes (Webs), a great tea shop, and a lot of little restaurants. Almost every time we go there, we end up parking in the municipal lot next to the bus station, and every time that means we walk by the small and simply decorated Smithsonian Chowder House.

Carol opted instead for one of the grilled-cheese-sandwich options, with pepper jack and blue cheese on wheat bread. The result was a nicely executed, crispy, and thoroughly melted-cheese grilled cheese sandwich. Our systems have detected unusual traffic from your computer network.

There’s also a location in Hatfield that we’ve driven by a few times, but we’re never seeming to do it at lunch time. But a recent trip down to Chicopee (to the most unusual Hu Ke Lau that’s still doing Polynesian dinner shows, and worthy of it’s own review at some point) ended up with us being in Northampton right around lunch, and we finally go to duck in. Overall, despite the popover (which I might get one more time in case my salty one was a one-off error), I rather enjoyed Smithsonian. The sandwiches were well executed, the soups very enjoyable with an extremely good selection, and the staff pleasant. I’ll definitely drop in another time for lunch if in the area. All too often New England clam chowder ends up being a creamy, glue-ish mess (one reason I prefer Rhode Island chowder, since sins can’t be hidden under a cream sauce), but that wasn’t the case here, with a smooth, creamy, and very flavorful and clam-rich chowder, one of the better ones we’ve had recently.

First of all, let’s talk about the soup menu. Often, this is a warning flag to me, indicating that the place is just reheating big vats of pre-packaged soup, but the pleasant aromas indicated that these were quality soups, myself settling on the lazy golumpki soup, and Carol going for the classic clam chowder. The lazy golumpki soup (I think the “lazy” means that instead of doing the traditional making of it from leftovers, you’re just adding the ingredients for a golumpki to the soup) wasn’t shabby at all, despite the name. It was a rich, flavorful blend of meat, cabbage, tomato, and spices, reminding me well of the many pleasant cabbage rolls I’ve had in my life (seeing that Carol and I are both of Polish and Lithuanian heritage). I’d definitely enjoy another cup of this, especially since unlike most restaurant soups it wasn’t over-salted.

We’re a dash of every different language and a sprinkle of the world’s cultures. With the assistance of Center staff, the intern will prepare one or more archaeological collections for curation. During the course of the internship, the intern will learn to identify artifacts and ecofacts common to the San Diego region, including lithics, ceramics, historical objects, and faunal, botanical, and mineral specimens. Center staff will instruct the intern on archaeological laboratory procedures such as basic artifact analysis, manual and computer cataloguing, storage requirements, and preventative conservation. At a village just sixteen miles off, There’s a merry ball tonight, Although the air is freezing cold, Her heart is warm and light. And there she watched with an anxious look, ’Til a well-known voice she heard, And driving up to the cottage door, Young Charles in his sleigh appeared.

Like Frozen Charlottes, Frozen Charlies are naked and don't move. Charlies, however, are usually bigger than Charlottes and can measure up to 16 inches high. Many of the earlier Charlottes and Charlies are chubby-looking, molded in one solid piece, with arms extended as holding a steering wheel.

Frozen Charlotte (doll)

The Judge carries in his pocket a small tin coffin on which is the inscription, “This man was talked to death,” and when a long winded lawyer gets to spouting on some unimportant question the Judge places the coffin before him. Unfortunately, there was no further information attached to the item, just a lot of unanswered questions. What’s with the mega creepy inscription that seems almost threatening in tone? I’m afraid I still don’t have any answers to these questions after a week of research. However, the little corpse in the coffin had some stories to tell. With the assistance of Center staff, the intern will arrange and catalog materials in the Center’s library.

If the doll has a known history, it may be more desirable to collectors. Well, I’m not a ghost expert that’s for sure, but my guess would be no! If you look at their history, these dolls were thought to bring good luck.

An occasional blog about modern folklore, apocryphal anecdotes, quotation research, and etymology

The name Frozen Charlotte came from an American folk ballad Fair Charlotte, which was attributed to William Lorenzo Carter. The song was inspired by the poem Young Charlotte written by Seba Smith after he read a true story in the New York Observer. “A young woman…was frozen to death while riding to a ball in a carriage on Jan 1, 1840.” She froze to death because she did not want to cover up her pretty dress. In addition to buying Frozen Charlotte dolls in tiny caskets, the "Frozen Charlotte" became a popular dessert. The confection offered a frozen take on the dessert called Charlotte Russe, which blends ladyfingers and Bavarian cream.

The name “Frozen Charlotte” for these small porcelain dolls has its origins in an American folk ballad, based on the poem “A Corpse Going to a Ball” by Seba Smith. The ballad tells the story of a young woman named Charlotte who was traveling to a New Year’s ball in an open sleigh during winter with her beau Charles. Despite the frigid weather, she refused to cover herself with a blanket, fearing it would hide her beautiful gown.

The doll’s origins—as a German bath-time novelty, meant to float in a tub—were innocent, but its arrival in the United States, in the mid 1800s, coincided with the popularity of a morbid song. The story goes that Maine writer Seba Smith stumbled upon a newspaper story that recounted how a young woman froze to death in her carriage on the way to a ball. Hit with inspiration, Smith, who is also known as the first to record the word scrumptious, scribbled a poem on the theme. Published in 1843, A Corpse Going to a Ball described how on a frosty night, a young lady named Charlotte refused to wear a blanket over her fine clothes.

However, if you find such a doll dressed in homemade clothes, examine its body underneath the clothes which can, and often do, disguise a broken or damaged doll. These can be purchased inexpensively, but perfect examples cost much more, depending on features, size and type. Then, there are tiny Frozen Charlotte bathtub dolls sitting in a tub. Some have long hair flowing to their feet; others wear gilt boots, or shoes and socks molded on. Aside from Frozen Charlottes, which were three-quarters of an inch and larger, there were Frozen Charlies, representing Charlotte's beau.

Today, Martha Stewart provides a recipe for Frozen Charlottes, though without the backstory of the cautionary tale of a 19th-century girl freezing on a sleigh ride. The connection between the name and the dolls lies in the fact that, like the unfortunate Charlotte in the song, these dolls are often depicted as being barefoot and without clothing. The popularity of the ballad likely contributed to the adoption of the name for these small porcelain dolls, which began to emerge around the same time.

Her father liked to see her dressed, Just like some city belle; She was the only child he had, He loved his daughter well. Her hair was black as raven’s wings, Her skin was lily fair, And her teeth were like the pearls of white, None with her could compare. Read how “Frozen Charlotte” dolls were not called by that name until the mid-20th century in The True Story of Frozen Charlotte Dolls. Frozen Charlotte dolls were an affordable luxury for 19th-century Americans. In 1886, Americans could buy a dozen of the larger, 4-inch dolls for just 39 cents. By ignoring her mother and prioritizing fashion over her health, Charlotte caused her own end.

Victorian women might have decorated their shelves with delicately painted Frozen Charlotte dolls. But Americans renamed the dolls Frozen Charlotte and gave them a creepy backstory. A documented history of ownership, or provenance, can significantly impact a doll’s value.

Larger examples were often used in the manner of a traditional doll, as a plaything. Some were even designed to be brought into the bath with a child as they could float on their backs and would not be damaged by water. Smaller sizes were commonly inserted into cakes or puddings as charms, in much the same fashion as a Mardi Gras king cake which traditionally has a baby figurine hidden inside; to find it afforded the discoverer promises of future prosperity. Although we have evidence that 19th-century Americans (and others) sometimes placed penny dolls (and other items) into cakes, there’s no evidence that they ever considered these objects as symbols of frozen women. Many people find porcelain dolls, in particular, to be eerie or creepy. Despite their treasured status amongst doll collectors, the stiff but uncannily human features of these dolls are often likened to corpses.

What's more, her beau Charles was left so broken-hearted that he, too, perished, and the lovers were buried in the same tomb. Antique Frozen Charlotte dolls, particularly those from the mid-19th century, tend to be more valuable. Older dolls carry historical significance and often possess unique characteristics.

For those among us with this fear towards porcelain dolls, the Frozen Charlotte may be the most unsettling of all. A Frozen Charlotte is a petite porcelain baby, standing anywhere from 1″ to 18″ tall. These dolls are usually made from unglazed porcelain, bisque, or China. They have a matte, ivory-colored finish, which sets them apart from glossy porcelain dolls.

Meet the L A. Cast of HAMILTON

md house cast

Mr. Blankenbuehler is a three-time Tony Award winner for his choreography in the Broadway productions of Bandstand, In the Heights, and Hamilton, for which he also received London’s Olivier Award. The recent production of Bandstand (director/choreographer) also received the Drama Desk and Chita Rivera Award for Best Choreography. Other Broadway credits include Bring It On, 9 To 5, The People in the Picture, The Apple Tree, Annie, and the recent revival of Cats. Upcoming theatre projects include the new musical Only Gold with British singer/songwriter Kate Nash and the musical Five Points. On television, Mr. Blankenbuehler’s work has been seen most recently on the Emmy Award-winning FX series Fosse/Verdon, and his choreography can be seen in the recent Universal Studio film of the musical Cats.

Main characters

The series finale pays homage to Holmes' apparent death in "The Final Problem", the 1893 story with which Conan Doyle originally intended to conclude the Holmes chronicles. House was among the top 10 shows in the United States from its second through fourth seasons. Distributed to 66 countries, House was the most-watched television program in the world in 2008.

Dr. Jessica Adams - Odette Annable

While her season seven arc as the Martha M. Masters was short and sweet, we've seen a lot of Amber Tamblyn since when she starred in 24 episodes of Two and a Half Men and being a critical voice around the #MeToo movement. Will also air a mini-marathon of House episodes on Friday, July 24 starting at 2 p.m., so we're catching up with the cast and what they've achieved since we last saw them at Princeton–Plainsboro Teaching Hospital. Just about eight years ago, we said goodbye to the M.D.'s on House after a thrilling eight seasons of unexplained medical cases, exciting friendships and plenty of zingers from Hugh Laurie's Dr. House. Unaffected by rumors of ghosts and curses, Bloom originally planned to rehabilitate and inhabit the four-bedroom, three-bathroom Spanish Revival when she purchased it in 2016 for $2.29 million. But the 0.6-acre lot’s steep slope posed an unexpected problem, according to Astenius’s podcast.

It received high critical acclaim, and was consistently one of the highest-rated series in the United States. Below is a list of actors and actresses that are or were part of the cast of the American drama television series House.

Laurie won the Screen Actors Guild's award for Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Drama Series in both 2007 and 2009. Writer Lawrence Kaplow won a Writers Guild of America Award in 2006 for the Season 2 episode Autopsy. Michael Tritter (David Morse), a police detective, appears in several Season 3. He tries to extract an apology from House, who left Tritter in an examination room with a thermometer in his rectum. After House refuses to apologize, Tritter brings him up on charges of unprescribed narcotics possession and forces him to attend rehabilitation. When the case reaches court, Cuddy perjures herself for House and the case is dismissed.

Series overview

The show received numerous awards, including five Primetime Emmy Awards, two Golden Globe Awards, a Peabody Award, and nine People's Choice Awards. On February 8, 2012, Fox announced that the eighth season, then in progress, would be its last. The series finale aired on May 21, 2012, following a hour-long retrospective. After hanging up his white coat, Spencer swiftly returned to primetime television, starring in NBC's drama "Chicago Fire" as firefighter Matthew Casey.

Epps' name is superimposed upon a rib cage X-ray; Leonard's name appears on a drawing of the two hemispheres of the brain. The producers originally wanted to include an image of a cane and an image of a Vicodin bottle, but Fox objected. Morrison's title card was thus lacking an image; an aerial shot of rowers on Princeton University's Lake Carnegie was finally agreed upon to accompany her name. Spencer's name appears next to an old-fashioned anatomical drawing of a spine.

They kiss and agree to try being a couple.[115] Throughout season seven, House and Cuddy try to make their relationship work, but Cuddy eventually breaks it off because of House's addiction. House struggles to deal with this and, in the season-seven finale, drives his car into Cuddy's living room in anger. As Lisa Edelstein left the show before season eight, after this incident Cuddy leaves the hospital and House never sees her again. After working on the TV series "ER," Omar Epps stuck with the medical drama game and went on to play Dr. Eric Foreman in "House," a major recurring role in all eight seasons of the show. While his character began as a member of House's diagnostic team, he often struggles with ego and narcissism and is always striving to prove himself to be a great doctor. He succeeds and eventually works his way up through the ranks to replace Dr. Lisa Cuddy as the hospital's dean of medicine (aka House's boss, much to his dismay).

Season 2

Mr. Blankenbuehler is a recipient of a special 2015 Drama Desk Award for his achievement in the theater. Mr. Blankenbuehler received the 2018 Kennedy Center Honors for his work on the musical Hamilton. Through the end of the sixth season, more than two dozen writers have contributed to the program.

Whether you caught Laurie in The Night Manager or watched the dreamy Dr. Robert Chase save the day in Chicago Fire, all of our favorites from the show have gone on to star in great shows and movies.

Andy is very proud to have made his concert debut earlier this year with a piece entitled Remember Our Song for the Tulsa Ballet Company. As a performer, Mr. Blankenbuehler has danced on Broadway in Fosse, Contact, Man of La Mancha, Saturday Night Fever, Steel Pier, Big, and Guys and Dolls. Originally from Cincinnati, Ohio, Mr. Blankenbuehler resides in New York City, with his wife Elly and two children, Luca and Sofia.

He'd also appear in crossover episodes for sister-shows "Chicago P.D." and "Chicago Med." This television role would last for nine years; Spencer recently made his exit in 2021, which was met with bittersweet praise and sadness from fans. Spencer's upcoming projects include the Disney+ series "Last Days of the Space Age," where he'll return to his native homeland, as the show is set in 1970s Perth, Australia. In June 2009, Legacy Interactive announced a licensing agreement with Universal Pictures Digital Platforms Group (UPDPG) to develop a video game based on the series, in which players step into the roles of House's diagnostic team to deal with five unusual medical cases. The game, released in May 2010, included a minigame calling upon the player to "navigat[e] a restaurant-placemat-style maze, in which a giant sandwich must avoid hungry physicians on its way to Dr. House's office." It received a F from The A.V. Club, however Legacy updated the game by August 2010.

Writers Doris Egan, Sara Hess, Russel Friend, and Garrett Lerner joined the team at the start of season two. Friend and Lerner, who are business partners, had been offered positions when the series launched, but turned the opportunity down. After observing the show's success, they accepted when Jacobs offered them jobs again the following year.[31] Writers Eli Attie and Sean Whitesell joined the show at the start of season four; Attie would stay on the show's writing staff through the series finale, which he co-wrote.

Approximately 75% of all undergraduate students receive financial aid, and more than 1,800 scholarships are awarded each year. The scholarship includes tuition, fees, books, room, four summer experiences, and an $8,000 grant for community service initiatives. Each student is responsible for the proper completion of his or her academic program, for familiarity with the Catalog, for maintaining the grade point average required, and for meeting all other degree requirements. Students assume academic and financial responsibility for the courses in which they enroll and are relieved of these responsibilities only by formally terminating enrollment.

During the next 15 years, Denny completed an impressive list of initiatives, including the creation of the college newspaper, the literary magazine and the college catalog. When Charlotte College became a four-year institution, Denny relinquished her role as department head, but she remained active with the Curriculum Committee. She retired in 1964, with the distinction of being the institution’s first professor emeritus. A distinguished business leader and philanthropist, Cato was born in Ridge Spring, S.C., in 1923.

At the urging of a war buddy, Cameron changed careers and became a mortgage banker in 1949. He entered this relatively new field with the creation of Cameron Mortgage Co. in Raleigh. The company merged with Brown-Hamel Mortgage Co. of Greensboro in 1955 and acquired the Carolina Realty Co. of Charlotte.

At age 36, Friday was named acting president of the UNC system. During his tenure, he became recognized as one of America’s most respected and effective educational leaders. In 1972, he reorganized the entire system which had grown to include 16 campuses (now 17 after the addition of the N.C. School of Science and Mathematics). At the time of its dedication on May 23, 1996, the 162,000-square-foot facility was the largest academic structure on campus.

Following the retirement of Addison Reese, Storrs became chair and CEO, and he would follow his predecessor’s example as a member of the UNC Charlotte Board of Trustees for nearly 12 years - the last four years as chair. His civic involvement included serving as president of the Business Foundation of North Carolina, vice president of the North Carolina Engineering Foundation and director of the North Carolina Textile Foundation. In 1990, he was inducted in the North Carolina Business Hall of Fame. In the 1950s, Rowe supported consolidation of city and county schools, which won him the Charlotte News “Man of the Year Award” in 1958.

As students at UNC Charlotte attend classes in the science and technology building on campus, they are walking into the physical manifestation of the work done by Chancellor Emeritus James Woodward and his wife Martha. On November 16, 2005, the building was formally dedicated to recognize the Woodwards’ 16 years of service and devotion to the University. Born in Redlands, Calif., on March 26, 1910, Smith graduated from Pomona College in 1932 with a bachelor’s degree in physics. During World War II, he served as a lieutenant with the Engineering Division of the Navy Bureau of Aeronautics and was assigned to the missiles branch. Following the war, he was a missile project engineer with the Douglas Aircraft Co.

The Catalogs are published annually in the Spring for the following academic year, which begins in the Fall. Although course offerings and academic requirements at UNC Charlotte are continually under examination and revision, the Catalogs are updated only once per year. This annual revision procedure helps ensure that users of the Catalogs will not find unexpected changes during their academic planning processes.

Grigg was named Electric Utility CEO of the Year for 1995 by Financial World magazine. Since first opening its doors in 1962, the Cone University Center has been a gathering place for students, faculty, staff, administrators, alumni and guests. As such, it is fitting that the facility bears the name of Bonnie Ethel Cone, the beloved mathematics teacher and visionary administrator who, perhaps more than anyone else, is credited as UNC Charlotte’s founder. Born in 1913, Colvard was raised in the mountains of western North Carolina in Ashe County. President and salutatorian of his high school class, Colvard was the first member of his family to attend an institution of higher learning.

Without Kennedy’s perseverance, Charlotte College likely would have remained a two-year community college. Cato Jr. enrolled at UNC-Chapel Hill and was elected to Beta Gamma Sigma, a national honorary scholastic commerce fraternity. In 1944, Cato graduated in the top three percent of his class with a bachelor’s degree in commerce. Completed in 1990 and dedicated on Sept. 25, 1991, the Cameron Applied Research Center contained roughly 74,000 square feet of laboratory, office and conference space to support world-class research. At the time, the center was the focal point for the University’s outreach mission to the region. It provided businesses, agencies and organizations access to academic and applied research expertise.

The subject, who was not publicly identified, began shooting with a high-powered rifle, Jennings said. Task force members returned fire and killed the suspect in the home's front yard, he said. Imagine the benefits of learning and creating alongside world-class mentors and teachers.

A theater teacher named as a 2020 National Theater Project finalist for his company’s contemporary circus work La Bestia, which addresses immigration and migration through acrobatics, music, and spoken word.

This was the beginning of the Cameron-Brown Co. that would later combine with First Union. He graduated from Trinity College (now Duke University) and completed a master’s degree from Princeton University in 1917. He returned to his alma mater, where he taught economics and served as alumni secretary and graduate manager of athletics until 1922. Each consists of smaller units called schools, departments, or programs. Additionally, there are University College, the Honors College, and the Graduate School.

He worked as a clerk, a senior national bank examiner and a bank vice president all before serving in the U.S. At his 1969 retirement, he received the rare honor of being named a faculty emeritus from his colleagues. “The Foreign Language Department, carefully constructed by Dr. Macy over the years was clearly one of the solid blocks of the foundation of the new institution,” read the tribute. He is further remembered today with the Pierre Macy Award for Excellence in French.

House: Season 3 2006 Cast & Crew

"It was very sad and very disappointing and a really difficult decision to make. But ultimately, I felt like it was the best thing for me to do for myself and for my business," she explained to TVLine. House's best and only friend, Head of Oncology Dr. Wilson, would tolerate him for the entirety of the series. The Watson to House's Holmes, it's fair to say Wilson may have suffered the most from House's blatant disregard for common courtesy.

Cast and characters

Genetically, her traits would eventually yield her to test positive for Huntington's Chorea, which would become a major subplot for her character in further seasons. After leaving behind a successful plastic surgery practice, Chris Taub earned his fellowship with House through a series of games that spanned the first few episodes of Season 4. From that point onward, he remained as a major character throughout the rest of the show's run. Ever elusive, Taub would steadily develop into the one of very few voices of reason who'd stand up to House's often bizarre ideas. Since her departure, Jennifer Morrison stayed occupied in her line of work, starring in ABC's hit adventure-fantasy "Once Upon a Time" as Emma Swan for six seasons. Shortly after, she picked up a recurring cast member credit in "This is Us."

'The Good Doctor' Season 7 Sets Peter Jacobson as Guest Star.

Princeton Plainsboro's dreamy surgeon Dr. Robert Chase won our hearts with his Aussie charm, good looks, and golden hair. One of three original members of House's team, Chase periodically questioned his place as a doctor, as he was ultimately hand-picked after his well-known father, Dr. Chase Sr., made some influential calls to the hospital. In real life, actor Jesse Spencer also came from a family of doctors himself, with his dad, brothers, and sister all in practice. Amber Tamblyn joined the cast of "House" during its seventh season as Martha Meredith Masters, a good-natured third-year medical student who joins the diagnostics team as an intern to fill in for Thirteen's absence. She proves to be a difficult team member for House, as she sticks by her guns and her moral compass, furiously challenging him with the questionable decisions he makes (which, if you know House, are quite frequent).

Dr. Lisa Cuddy - Lisa Edelstein

Season 5 of House was met with a more positive response in comparison to the previous season. It holds a Metacritic score of 77 out of 100, based on ten reviews, indicating "generally favorable reviews". It also holds a 100% approval rating on aggregate review website Rotten Tomatoes, with an average score of 8.1 based on nine collected reviews. Mary McNamara of the Los Angeles Times highlighted the performances of the cast, especially Michael Weston as detective Lucas Douglas, calling him a "delightful addition". She continued saying "House used to be one of the best shows on TV, but it's gone seriously off the rails". The Sunday Times felt that the show had "lost its sense of humour. The focus on Thirteen and her eventual involvement with Foreman also came under particular criticism.

"See, this is what I want, an American guy," exclaimed unsuspecting director and executive producer Bryan Singer as he watched Laurie's audition tape – a testament to the actor's talent. Laurie would go on to be nominated for six Emmys and win a Golden Globe for his performance. Several different factors drew audiences to the show; One of them is simply that the show premiered at the right place and at the right time. The long-standing NBC drama "E.R." (1994) was renewed for yet another season, but it was still a year before the introduction of "Grey's Anatomy" (2005) on ABC, so viewers were eager to welcome this fresh take on a medical drama.

As a cost-cutting measure, the three actors were asked to accept reduced salaries. Epps and Leonard came to terms with the producers, but Edelstein did not, and in May 2011 it was announced that she would not be returning for the show's eighth season. House was a co-production of Heel and Toe Films, David Shore's Shore Z Productions, and Bryan Singer's Bad Hat Harry Production in association with Universal Network Television for Fox. Attanasio, Jacobs, Shore and Singer, were executive producers of the program for its entirety. Shelly Diamond (Bonnie Perlman) - A mother with several potential clinic patients. Like Foreman, Dr. Robert Chase was part of Dr. House's diagnostics team until the end of season three, when House fired him.

Because many of his hypotheses are based on epiphanies or controversial insights, he often has trouble obtaining permission for medical procedures he considers necessary from his superior, who in all but the final season is hospital administrator Dr. Lisa Cuddy. This is especially the case when the proposed procedures involve a high degree of risk or are ethically questionable. Frequent disagreements occur between House and his team, especially Cameron, whose standards of medical ethics are more conservative than those of the other characters. After the show's title fades, an aerial view of PPTH (actually various Princeton University buildings, primarily Frist Campus Center) is followed by a series of images accompanying each member's name; most are shown next to, or superimposed upon, illustrations of the human anatomy. Laurie's name appears next to a model of a human head with the brain exposed; Edelstein's name appears next to a visual effects–produced graphic of an angiogram of the heart.

Like all of the hospital's doctors, House is required to treat patients in the facility's walk-in clinic. His grudging fulfillment of this duty, or his creative methods of avoiding it, constitute a recurring subplot, which often serves as the series' comic relief. During clinic duty, House confounds patients with unwelcome observations into their personal lives, eccentric prescriptions, and unorthodox treatments. However, after seeming to be inattentive to their complaints, he regularly impresses them with rapid and accurate diagnoses.

House often tends to arrive at the correct diagnosis seemingly out of the blue, often inspired by a passing remark made by another character. The series' original opening theme, as heard in the United States, comprises instrumental portions of "Teardrop" by Massive Attack. The piece was used in part because of the distinct tempo which roughly mimics the sound of a beating human heart. An acoustic version of "Teardrop", with guitar and vocals by José González, is heard as background music during the Season 4 finale Wilson's Heart.

However, its central cast is still going strong, and many of its actors have gone on to continue their work in film and TV, with some surprising twists or turns along the way. Here's the full rundown of what the cast of "House" has been up to since the series ended. For the Season 1 episode Three Stories, David Shore won an Outstanding Writing for a Drama Series Emmy in 2005 and the Humanitas Prize in 2006. Director Greg Yaitanes received the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Directing - Drama Series, for directing House's Head, the first part of Season 4's two-episode finale. While Jacobson and Wilde play central characters (as did Penn), they did not receive star billing until Season 7.

Robert Sean Leonard had received the script for the CBS show Numb3rs, as well as that for House. Leonard thought the Numb3rs script was "kind of cool" and planned to audition for the show. However, he decided that the character he was up for, Charlie Eppes, was in too many scenes; he later observed, "The less I work, the happier I am". He believed that his House audition was not particularly good, but that his lengthy friendship with Singer helped win him the part of Dr. Wilson. Singer had enjoyed Lisa Edelstein's portrayal of a prostitute on The West Wing, and sent her a copy of the pilot script. Edelstein was attracted to the quality of the writing and her character's "snappy dialogue" with House, and was cast as Dr. Lisa Cuddy.

Laurie, the son of a doctor, Ran Laurie, said he felt guilty for "being paid more to become a fake version of [his] own father". From the start of Season 3, he was being paid $275,000 to $300,000 per episode, as much as three times what he had previously been making on the series. By the show's fifth season, Laurie was earning around $400,000 per episode, making him one of the highest-paid actors on network television. In 2004, Shore, Attanasio and Jacobs, pitched the show (untitled at the time) to Fox as a CSI-style medical detective program, a hospital whodunit in which the doctors investigated symptoms and their causes.

There are two beams introduced in the modern era, probably after moving the house to this site in 1924. In the back room there are still some remnants of 18th-century paneling and a cupboard around a restored fireplace. While less prolific than his forefathers, Retire Beckett’s ships were masterpieces and usually attributed with being the “first” to accomplish great feats.

This first period and Georgian architectural “fabric” is today considered significant to American architectural, maritime, and cultural history. The latter were those whom Emmerton hoped to help through her settlement house, which still operates today in its original function and serves the immigrant and working-class residents of the immediate area. However, the renown of the building as house museum has also made it a big tourist draw, contributing to the gentrification of the beautified waterfront portion of Salem, complete with nearby bed and breakfasts. Emmerton’s goal was to preserve the house for future generations, provide educational opportunities for visitors and use the proceeds from the tours to fund her settlement programs.

Ceilings in this new wing are higher than the very low ceilings in older parts of the house. The new wing featured double casement windows and an overhang with carved pendants; it was capped with a three-gabled garret. Experience a more personal history of Salem from the perspectives of the people who don’t make it into the history books.

Inspiration for Hawthorne

The entire area surrounding the house was designed by landscape gardener Dan Foley. The flower bed in front of the home contains thyme, lavender, tarragon, sweet woodruff, baptisia, statchys lanata (lambs ears), monarda (bee balm or bergamot), allium (onion relative), epidenium, achillea (yarrow) and hosta. While inside the building, look for “checking” or splitting in the oldest beams and note that at some point these were filled with plaster.

Facing south towards Salem Harbor, it was originally a two-room, 2+1⁄2-story house with a projecting front porch and a massive central chimney. Four windows of the original ground-floor room (which became a dining room) remain in the house's side wall. The Counting House, circa 1830, is typical of the small buildings located on and around the then busy wharfs of Salem Harbor. In fact, there were many more wharfs present in the harbor in those days than there are now.

Emmerton expanded the programs and services of the settlement house to the point that they exceeded the capacity of the Seaman’s Bethel. When Emmerton learned that the neighboring Turner-Ingersoll Mansion was up for sale, she purchased it as the settlement’s practical and collective center. In the first half of the 18th century, John Turner II remodeled the house in the new Georgian style, adding wood paneling and sash windows. These alterations are preserved, very early examples of Georgian decor. The House of the Seven Gables is one of the oldest surviving timber-framed mansion houses in continental North America, with 17 rooms and over 8,000 square feet (700 m2) including its large cellars.

The updated plan included a wisteria arbor, raised border beds and a rose trellis. Colonial plants, such as foxglove (digitalis), canterbury bells (campanula), and hollyhocks were introduced again. In 1960, the beds were upgraded with treated spruce and boxwood hedges. The house saw minor changes in the later nineteenth century in an effort to conform to new tastes in architecture. These included broad, bracketed eaves, a front door with a bracketed hood, and a new veranda.

Tours last approximately 45 minutes and take place on multiple levels in historic houses from the 1600s and 1700s. Visitors are standing, walking, or climbing stairs during these experiences. In celebration of Caroline’s 158th birthday, we are celebrating her impact on the city of Salem and her vision and foresight in creating The House of the Seven Gables Settlement Association. Her vision endures today, as our organization continues to tell the history of America through the Turner-Ingersoll Mansion and welcome new people to our country with ESL and citizenship classes.

The home was originally located on Beckett Street (less than a half mile from the museum campus). Caroline Emmerton had the house moved to Derby Street in 1924 to save it from demolition. SAH Archipedia tells the story of the United States through its buildings, landscapes, and cities. This freely available resource empowers the public with authoritative knowledge that deepens their understanding and appreciation of the built environment.

About 1720, John II renovated the (new) parlor and parlor chamber by installing Georgian paneling and converting the old leaded windowpanes to Georgian sashes, showing his affinity for popular architectural tastes. The paneling and sashes are some of the earliest extant fabric from this period. Designated a National Historic Landmark District in 2007, The House of the Seven Gables is best known today as the setting of world-renowned American author Nathaniel Hawthorne’s 1851 novel.

The House of the Seven Gables The History List

Nathaniel Hawthorne was born in Salem, Mass. on July 4, 1804 to Elizabeth Manning and Capt. Nathaniel Hathorne. The family lived on Union Street in Salem until 1808, when his father died of yellow fever at sea. After his death, Nathaniel, his mother, and two sisters—Elizabeth, and Maria Louisa—moved into the Manning family home on Herbert Street.

About Our Founder Caroline Emmerton

Those accused of practicing witchcraft and executed were not allowed a Christian burial. Some have said that grieving family members came after dark to retrieve the bodies of their loved ones. They could be heard crying quietly as they went about the heartbreaking task of recovering bodies. For decades if not centuries, the site of the killings was thought by most to be nearby at Gallows Hill.

At the same time, Chandler and Emmerton restored its seven-gabled appearance and modified the interior to preserve the house as it would have appeared circa 1840, the period depicted in Hawthorne's romance. Emmerton’s intent was to interpret a number of rooms in the house in addition to the “cent shop” as the actual rooms that Hawthorne described. This meant retaining the Georgian woodwork and furnishing the house with a mix of antiques. Plan your visit, learn about educational opportunities, and embark on a guided group tour.

Hawthorne was more inspired by the way "seven gables" sounded than what the house looked like. As he wrote in a letter, "The expression was new and struck me forcibly... I think I shall make something of it."[6] The idea inspired Hawthorne's novel The House of the Seven Gables. The Rebecca Nurse Homestead is in a part of Danvers that was once Salem. This house is (1) the only home of a person executed for witchcraft open to the public and (2) the only known burial site of any of those executed in 1692. Nurse was an upstanding member of her church and Puritan community.

Counting houses were where the business of maritime trade took place; where accounts were balanced, cargos were bought and sold, and monies exchanged hands. This building is a rare surviving example of one of many similar establishments of the time and reflects the 19th century predominance of Salem as a port. The Nathaniel Hawthorne Birthplace was originally located on Union Street.

Salem is more than the witch trials and hangings of 19 innocent people. Nonetheless, it’s impossible to overlook the impact that 1692 had on the city — then and now. Monuments, cemeteries and museums are forever reminders of what happened. Both the Witch House and the Witch Museum have made it their purpose to tell the story in graphic, even cinematic ways. His dark and impressive gabled colonial home is now a museum that intersperses stories of Corwin and the trials with everyday life in the Puritan community.

Group Tours

The Nathaniel Hawthorne Society is dedicated to the global study and appreciation of the life and works of Hawthorne. After the book’s publication in 1850, the Hawthorne family would leave Salem once again for Lenox, Mass. It is here that his relationship with Herman Melville would blossom. While living in Lenox, Hawthorne wrote A Wonder Book for Girls and Boys as well as the famed Gothic novel, The House of the Seven Gables.

Hawthorne's visits to his cousin's home are credited with inspiring the setting and title of his 1851 novel The House of the Seven Gables. The House of the Seven Gables, romance by Nathaniel Hawthorne, published in 1851. The work, set in mid-19th-century Salem, Mass., is a sombre study in hereditary sin, based on the legend of a curse pronounced on Hawthorne’s own family by a woman condemned to death during the infamous Salem witch trials. The greed and arrogance of the novel’s Pyncheon family through the generations are mirrored in the gloomy decay of their seven-gabled mansion, in which the family’s enfeebled and impoverished relations live.

By 1846, the Hawthorne family was living back in Salem with Una (1844) and Julian (1846). It was during this time that he would begin to write The Scarlet Letter—his first critically acclaimed success in publishing. Sophia and her sisters, Elizabeth and Mary, would prove to be influential for the rest of Hawthorne’s life and career. In 1839, he received his first political appointment as a “weigher and gauger” at the Boston Custom House.

At age 9, Hawthorne injured his leg and was confined to the home for two years. It was during this time that he developed a love of books and reading. At age 14, the family left Salem for Raymond, Maine, but Hawthorne would return just one year later to begin his preparation for college entrance. His classmates included Franklin Pierce and Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. It is then that he starts to visit his cousin Susanna at the Turner-Ingersoll Mansion, which would later be the backdrop for his famed novel, The House of the Seven Gables.

The 1668merchant’s mansion, built by the Turner family, that inspired that classic literary work in 1851 still stands on Salem Harbor. Hawthorne’s cousin, the independent businesswoman Susanna Ingersoll, owned the “ancient house” in the 1800s, and the writer used it as a setting to explore themes of privilege and generational trauma. Between1908 and 1910, philanthropist Caroline Emmerton transformed the house into a museum to fund a settlement association which to this day helps immigrants adjust to their new homes. Emmerton’s goal was to preserve the house for future generations, to provide educational opportunities for visitors, and to use the proceeds from the tours to fund her settlement programs. Thanks to Emmerton and Chandler, the Turner-Ingersoll Mansion, known popularly as The House of the Seven Gables, has survived with many of its original period features from the 17th and 18th century!

Admission also includes Nathaniel Hawthorne’s Birthplace, waterfront views, and a unique museum store. In 1668, merchant and shipowner John Turner I, and his wife Elizabeth Robinson Turner, built a house on Salem Harbor that was destined to become one of America’s most beloved historic homes. Halfway down a by-street of one of our New England towns stands a rusty wooden house, with seven acutely peaked gables, facing towards various points of the compass, and a huge, clustered chimney in the midst. The street is Pyncheon Street; the house is the old Pyncheon House; and an elm-tree, of wide circumference, rooted before the door, is familiar to every town-born child by the title of the Pyncheon Elm. The house brings to life the gloomy Puritan atmosphere of early New England.

The Gables offers educational programming to support our local immigrant community including Adult English Language and Citizenship preparation classes. We engage our wider community through stimulating, thoughtful, facilitated conversations on immigration and other social justice issues. Let’s continue Caroline’s extraordinary work together as we commemorate her birthday.

Look for wonderful seaside gardens, many original furnishings and a mysterious secret staircase. Nathaniel Hawthorne’s birthplace, moved to the grounds of The House of the Seven Gables in 1958, from its original location a few blocks away on Union Street. Hawthorne continued to write into his later years, including a report about his 1862 visit to Washington D.C. In which he met President Lincoln and visited the Civil War Battlefields in Virginia. His final publication was Our Old Home (1863) which was a series of essays about England and Anglo-American relations.

Though relatively small at 1.47 acres, there are 700 headstones and 17 box tombs here. None of those accused of witchcraft and executed are buried here because they were not allowed Christian burials. Also located at this site is the Salem Witch Trials Memorial, dedicated in 1992 by Nobel Laureate Eli Wiesel. It, like the cemetery, is intended to be a place of quiet and contemplation. The House of the Seven Gables was built by a Salem sea captain and merchant named John Turner in 1668 and occupied by three generations of the Turner family before being sold to Captain Samuel Ingersoll in 1782. An active captain during the Great Age of Sail, Ingersoll died at sea leaving the property to his daughter Susanna, a cousin of famed author Nathaniel Hawthorne.

Or, many experienced players will have rackets they no longer use that they will let you try out and then if you like it will sell it to you for much less than the cost of a new racket and new rubbers. Table tennis skills and equipment (rubbers and rackets) are much more complex than the recreational meanderings of basement ping-pong. Table tennis is a sport of a billion unique individual styles (due to infinite combinations of standard and unorthodox grips, stroke execution mechanics and racket designs).

There is no reason to quit coming to our club after just few days or weeks or even few months.

Though it is often incorrectly oversimplified down to a few basic styles, grips and rackets, every player needs to find a racket that exactly matches his/her playing style. As you lose over and over to every conceivable style of play you are learning from your beatings. Keep in mind that even a low level club player has more consistency, more touch and better rackets compared to most newcomers. This is no different than the difference between professional players and amateurs in any sport. If you are willing to work on improving your skills you can become a true table tennis competitor. Understand that you will likely lose A LOT of matches at the start.

However, it’s important to keep certain simple facts in mind before choosing to move up to the sport of table tennis as a serious club player. Table tennis is an extremely racket-sensitive sport and dependent not only on your own playing style but your opponent’s as well. Even many advanced players, let alone newcomers, have absolutely no clue whatsoever about the complexity of modern rackets. Our program for developing a player’s table tennis skill has three levels. Each level consists of four one-hour education sessions, and player progress is evaluated through four multiple choice quizzes, a skills test, and a cumulative multiple choice exam.

Each player serves two points in a row and then the service switches to the other player. However, if a score of is reached in any game (deuce), then each server serves only one point at a time until one player wins two points in a row. In the final game (i.e., 5th game of a 3/5 match), the players switch sides again after EITHER player reaches 5 points and then play resumes as normal. Now the club and academy are working to provide an educational environment for everyone.

Educating the existing athletic educators to help more people understand the sports potential and benefits. Then it must be tossed up at least 6 inches and struck so the ball first bounces on the server’s side and then the opponent’s side. If the serve touches the net but would have otherwise been good, it is called a “let” serve. Sometimes all you want to know are the basic rules to play a friendly match of table tennis.

Don Harrison, executive director of the 135-member Cruise Ship Consortium, is optimistic about the future popularity of “cruising.” He pointed out that going on cruises isn’t just for the wealthy anymore. The first whistle blast of television’s “Love Boat” pierced the chill morning air at the Embarcadero, as hundreds of people bundled in sweatsuits and ski parkas cheered the arrival today of the famous Pacific Princess. Princess Cruises is a member of ABTA, (membership number V8764) which means you have the benefit of ABTA’s assistance and Code of Conduct. You can use ABTA's approved Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) process if you have a complaint that is not resolved.

Aboard cruises of 10 to 14 nights, expect two formal nights and five to 12 “smart casual” evenings. The faintly exotic Lotus Spa, Salon, and Gym, operated, inevitably, by Steiner of London, offers a program of fitness and wellness. The fitness center, whose wall of windows makes it seem bigger than it really is, is well-equipped, with treadmills, bikes, and several weight machines. There are two steam rooms (for those who aren’t hot enough in this part of the world to begin with!) and a walking/jogging track that circles the top of the ship. Instead of a 360-degree promenade, there are, on Deck 5, deck areas both port and starboard.

After a series of Mediterranean cruises, the Pacific Princess will return to San Diego for the 1986 winter season. The Pacific Princess is scheduled to depart for Mexico at 7 p.m. Access to the Princess was not provided because crew members had to load passengers and prepare for the weeklong cruise. The activities will conclude tonight with fireworks, cannon salutes and light signals from all ships in the harbor. Many of the passengers who disembarked the Pacific Princess, which had been in Mexico, boarded buses for the airport after clearing Customs. Some will stay another three days and others returned to homes in the San Diego area.

Pacific Princess became famous as the setting for the TV series The Love Boat, airing from 1977 to 1986. Much of the 1980 book More Tales of the City by Armistead Maupin took place on board,[5] and was later made into a miniseries, aired in 1998.

Experience the beautiful harmony of ancient wonders and modern metropolises

Although most are large in scale, Princess vessels manage to create the illusion of intimacy through the use of color and decor in understated yet lovely public rooms graced by multimillion-dollar art collections. The area most reminiscent of a classic ship is the purser’s lounge area on Deck 4, featuring a grand staircase reminiscent of the Titanic. The lounges and bars are all comfortably inviting, with the Club Bar attracting most guests. The library has a faux fireplace, overstuffed couches, and walls lined with cherry-finished bookshelves, even though it could use a few more books published after the ship changed hands. "And we now have as a selling point the fact that the best ships are much nicer than the Love Boat experience and offer top quality and many exotic ports."
