I Saw A John Singer Sargent Painting But Now I Can’t Find Anything About It…?
Last Summer I visited the National Gallery in London, and I saw the most beautiful painting, that, if I remember correctly, was a John Singer Sarget. It was maybe 4 by 6 feet… It looked a bit like Madame X, but the woman was wearing a red dress. And this is odd, but I can’t remember if there were one or two women. All i can remember is the red dress, and I’ve tried to look the painting up, but I couldn’t find it anywhere. Does anyone think they know anything about it? I will give you 10 points if you can name the painting, but I wish I could give 100!

If You Dig Deep Enough Under The Tower Of London, Will You Find Anything Of Value?
In the early 1970s I worked construction in London England, On one job in Putney on Putney bridge road beside the river Thames we were doing ground work ,,Excavation, and we started to come across these millions of oyster shells layer after 100s of layers also these weird bottles of blue and green glass with round bottoms,,,It turned out to be a Roman garbage dump We probably should have informed the city or someone but our boss told us to keep it quiet, so as our job would not be shut down,,there was quite a few coins and other things found as well, I often wonder what we lost there..
Question Is: Can You Tell Me Anything You Know About Evolution, Any One Thing, Any One Thing That Is True? ?
I tried that question on the geology staff at the Field Museum of Natural History and the only answer I got was silence. I tried it on the members of the Evolutionary Morphology Seminar in the University of Chicago, a very prestigious body of evolutionists, and all I got there was silence for a long time and eventually one person said, ‘I do know one thing — it ought not to be taught in high school’.” (Dr. Colin Patterson (Senior Palaeontologist, British Museum of Natural History, London). Keynote address at the American Museum of Natural History, New York City, 5 November 1981.)

London Nightlife: Trafalgar is Anything But Square
Though famed for Nelson’s Column and a high pigeon population, Trafalgar Square is also a popular London night spot, with a dozens of restaurants, cool cafes and bustling bars just a few minutes from the Square itself.
The Rockwell Hotel bar, for instance, is a stylish bar with a roof terrace that overlooks the Square and the rest of Westminster. The fashionable interior is modern with plenty of glass, marble, leather and lacquered wood, and the design of the hotel is such that there are no barriers or boundaries, giving the impression of a large, open, flowing space in which to relax. This calming space is an antidote to the chaotic crowds outside that swarm over Trafalgar Square, and is famed for its cocktails. The clientele of the Rockwell tends to be suited business men who come to take advantage of the roof terrace and enjoy what is a classy retreat from London’s hectic West End.
Just a few minutes on from the Rockwell is Akbar, a sumptuous and stylish bar with décor based on the Indian Architecture of the Mogul period. Akbar maintains an eclectic mix of sprits from around the world, with bottles ranging from Icelandic Cucumber Vodka to Japanese Shochu. Indian snacks are on offer for those feeling peckish, but a bar this cool does come at a price, so if you’re on a tight budget, you best stick to the Kingfisher beer.
The Play Room, a dedicated Burlesque bar just nine minutes walk from Trafalgar Square is adorned with zebra skin, leather, grand pianos and Art Deco lighting – creating a glamorous atmosphere. The Burlesque performances attract a super cool clientele including singers and celebrities, and Akbar has been deemed London’s coolest bar.
Many hotels in London and in particular the West End have swanky bars attached, but few have night clubs, so where do you go when your hear the cries of “Last orders, gentlemen please”?
Well, you could do a lot worse than heading for The End, a hang out that started a new wave of clubbing in the capital with a high quality, high-tech sound system and friendly atmosphere. Most of the world’s top DJs have played here at some point; Roni Size, Daft Punk, Fatboy Slim, Laurent Garnier, Jeff Mils, Layo and Bushwacka are just a handful of the big names to have passed through. Renowned for having the best sound system in London, The End is only 14 minutes walk from Trafalgar.
So forget about feeding the pigeons; with so much night time activity on offer, Trafalgar is anything but square.
