Nightmares Fear Factory, Canada - Metro

Haunted houses naturally have something of a reputation for frightening the wits out of people but, in this case, the attraction itself is trumped in the scare stakes by the reactions of its patrons.

The Nightmares Fear Factory, the oldest haunted house in North America, has turned its customers’ contorted faces upon being spooked into something of an internet sensation.

Temple Works

This is the ‘wikipedia’ entry for Temple Works. The myth of the sheep is actually true. However this is a little dry for our tastes, so it’s our intention to be a little more creative, and inclusive with the ‘histories’ of Temple Works over the the course of our stay here…

Temple Works is a former flax mill in Holbeck, Leeds, West Yorkshire, England. It was designed by Joseph Bonomi the Younger and built by John Marshall between 1836 and 1840.

Temple Works, also known as Temple Mill, was based on the Temple of Edfu at Horus in Egypt with a chimney designed in the style of an obelisk. Marshall’s inspiration for the design of Temple Works was his interest in Egyptology. When it was built it was said that Temple Works was the biggest single room in the world.

One extremely unusual feature of the Temple Works building is the fact that sheep used to graze on the grass-covered roof. This served the purpose of retaining humidity in the flax mill in order to prevent the linen thread from becoming dried out and unmanageable.

Temple Works is the only Grade I listed building in Holbeck.

Imagine the situation where you are in a modern city, you are not a local resident, and you have not booked a hotel. It is not a comfortable situation because modern aggressive cities give you no opportunity to rest and relax. If you want to sleep while waiting for your plane or train, you face many security and hygiene problems.
We believe that urban infrastructure should be more comfortable. For this purpose we

POÄNG - Ikea

POÄNG Series

When you buy POÄNG armchair you choose everything yourself, except the comfort - it's always included! You get a style that's all your own by freely combining frames in different wood types and finishes and cushions with fabric or leather covers. If you want a change, you can always buy an extra cushion - they come with covers in several different colours, patterns and materials. The fabric covers are removable and most are machine-washable. To keep the leather covers clean and soft, treat them with ABSORB leather cleaner.

The basic chair is pretty comfortable, personally tried!
