Bill et al created a fantastic model of the house—with the surrounding forest, water wheel, complete with removable roof and dressing inside—a miniature wonderland. Readers often ask about this creepy old cottage where the witches lived in the movie and whether it’s real. The answer, as you can probably tell by the screenshot of it above, is no. The classic 1993 film follows Max Dennison (Omri Katz), his little sister Dani (Thora Birch), and his crush Allison (Vinessa Shaw) after they unintentionally resurrect the evil Sanderson sisters on Halloween night.

I also quite like the tree, which has a LEGO Friends-inspired design. There are plenty of great details here, and it looks like the LEGO Ideas team have done a spectacular job capturing plenty of details from the movie and squeezing it into the build. The Sanderson Sisters’ cottage itself looks like a really solid build, with accurate architecture and opens up to reveal the interiors, which include the museum gift shop. "Bombarding", Lego are over-saturating the market, and quality control has dropped as they are stretching themselves too thin. Added to the supply issues during Covid, where perhaps if they produced less sets and more stock it would've been better. I could see that hair/witch hat combo being used in Harry Potter.

Bags 2-5: First Floor

And here’s the completed model which features a rather large re-creation of the Sanderson Museum/Cottage. Here’s a look at Sarah, Winnifred and Mary Sanderson which are just so much fun, and their minifigures will no doubt delight Hocus Pocus fans. 21341 Hocus Pocus The Sanderson Sisters’ Cottage will be released on 1 July 2023 for LEGO VIPs (free to join!), and is a lot of fun, especially if you grew up being enthralled by the Sanderson sisters and really enjoy Halloween. Prepare to be bewitched with Hocus Pocus The Sanderson Sisters’ Cottage, a fun and spooky LEGO set based on cult Halloween classic, Hocus Pocus! If Home Alone is the ultimate Christmas set, this set is hands down the ultimate Halloween set. To aid the display of the minifigures, there’s even this gate and wall section where all 6 minifigures can be proudly displayed.

Build Process

Assessing value often depends on your emotional attachement to the content. In the case of this set, you might have a tremendous fondless for the film or even for Halloween in general, making this set extremely appealing. Thankfully, we do have some objective measurements to use, but they do not look favorably upon this set.

This 2023 version of the building isn’t cheap at $399.99, but it’s huge and gorgeous. It comes with 4,837 pieces, plus eight minifigures comprised of four coupoles from Disney royalty history. You get Cinderella and Prince Charming, Snow White and Prince Florian, Tiana and Prince Naveen, as well as Rapunzel and Flynn Rider. In 1653, in Salem, the teenage Winifred Sanderson is banned from the village by the local Reverend Traske after refusing to get married with John Pritchett.

It was always a bit of a cult classic, people really enjoy the film but not to the point that a lot will spend this much on this set. The second film wasn't that great either which won't help sales.They've done a great job, but they could have gone with a more standard witches house without having the added cost of the licensing for Disney. Having seen the film last year (or was it the year before that?), I can safely say I recognize some of the details, half of the characters and not much else.Weird that the minifigs get new hair pieces. I guess they're needed, but I thought Ideas sets aren't allowed new part moulds? Let's see them offload those parts into regular sets or maybe even CMFs to technically fullfill that restriction like how the Steamboat Willie minifigs were technically also in the CMF series at the time.Looks nice though. Great for those fans of the film who watch it again and again and again and again...

From the black-flame candle, to Mary’s vacuum, the details are the star of the show. While the roof and exterior of the home are also beautiful, they actually overtake the model, creating a very closed off feeling. This model doesn’t lend its self to either play or display well since many of the elements are both fragile and inaccessible. Of course, you can still stroll the streets and pose for pictures outside.

In Bag 7, we build a small alcove on the left side of the second floor. This comes together easily and adds some visual interest to the outside moreso than to the inside. We do get to add a cute little skeleton on the inside so that’s fun. We also add some details to the upstairs like a spinning wheel, some wall panels with stickers of hanging herbs, a bookshelf, brooms, a large bed that the sisters presumably share, and my favorite, Mary Sanderson’s flying vacuum. We don’t really see the upstairs in the movie, so clearly some creative license has been taken here, but the additions are fun and are a way to add some more Easter eggs to the set. 300 years ago, in 1693, in Salem, Massachusetts, the Sanderson sisters were hanged by the population of Salem after a boy named Thackery Binx tried to stop the witches and was turned into an immortal black cat while saving his sister Emily.

We thought this only referred to the ghosts of baseball players, but apparently it refers to LEGO as well. 21341 Hocus Pocus The Sanderson Sisters’ Cottage will be released on 1 July 2023 for LEGO VIPs, and will be exclusive to LEGO.com. Of course, there’s the book of spells encased in glass.

There is also a lot of fun interior décor that is added in this bag. The cauldron with its potion, museum elements such as the counter, checkout area and some of the roped off areas. There are lots of potions and candles tucked away on the shelves that add detail, but I’m curious if it will be seen once the walls and roof are assembled. Available now with LEGO VIP (sign up here for free), this Eldorado Fortress set harkens back to set with the same name that was released in 1989. As such, this one is aimed at the 18+ crowd and comes with 2,509 pieces, as well as eight minifigures.

While you may not be able to summon witches by lighting a black flame candle, you can step into the world of "Hocus Pocus" by visiting Salem, Massachusetts. The Dennison family's picturesque house is a popular tourist attraction, though, it's in a residential area and isn't officially open to tourists. Yes, the tower is awesome, but this set is really for minifigure fans — it comes with 31 of them!

This could have been solved by making this area swing open, or at least having one of the roof sections open, but instead it is completely closed and inaccessible. We build the roof in three parts across three numbered bags. In Bag 10, we build the front and back peaks, which consist of to large triangles that are connected with a beam. A bit of visual texture is added using tiles connected by a single stud on both sides so that they create an irregular pattern, plus a small window at the top. Up for preorder now is a 3,128-piece re-creation of Captain America’s iconic shield.

The sloppiness of press releases continues, as"the 2,316 piece set comprises a fully complete with favourite props inspired from the film"is not fully complete since "house" is missing after "fully complete." I’m a fan of the film, and they’ve managed to capture lots of fun details here. The price is a bit steep…I may have to wait for a sale, but this set is definitely going on my wanted list.The only thing missing that would make this a perfect 10/10 is a Billy Butcherson minifig. In Bags 14 and 15 we add Dani Dennison’s minifigure, outfitted in her super cute witch costume and carrying a pumpkin bag for trick-or-treating. We also build a section off the side of the house that originally looks like a shed at first glance. Eventually it becomes clear that it is meant to attach the to the main house and contains the fireplace and chair that the children are bound to by the witches.

“Hocus Pocus:” The Witches’ House and Other Filming Locations

Good for fans, this might pass as a Medieval House. Pretty much a perfect set for the film, just missing Billy. Looks plausible for Castle fans, but I'd really like to know whether it's proper minifg scale, or whether it's way too large like the Blacksmith's. Truly the set ever, based on one of the IPs of all time. The six minifigures are one of the highlights from this set.

Disney Cruise Line – What You Need to Know

I’m assuming we will attach a second room on this side. Many fans have been wondering about the roof, which is mostly grey. The design team have done a wonderful job bringing the Sanderson Cottage to life, and fans of the show will be happy that it’s in this scale. The price is a little high, but you’re getting a complete cottage, with all 4 walls and is satisfyingly sizable making it a great display model too. Maybe maybe not but since it was made it could have been marketed better. I am sure this will do very well in North America where this movie has become some sort of Halloween staple for many people.

We also add a small section of gable over the left side of the house, along with some ground and décor outside the front door. The right and left sides are built separately, and connect to the rest of the houseusing two Technic pins each. While both halves of the roof technically move, the left side is restricted by the placement of the chimney, so effectively you can only open the right side. The mechanism for opening the right side is smooth, but fragile, and does not hold up to play well. The roof sections themselves are beautifully decorated. Bag 1 offers a gentle (re)introduction to LEGO building by building a simple wall and gate.

I kinda wish that the first floor was detachable like a modular building which would’ve made access much easier. To allow you to interact with the detailed interiors, the back walls open outwards, and the roof also lifts up to get you access to the attic. Just to illustrate how large the cottage is, here’s a side by side comparison with the A-Frame Cabin. The end result is really quite nice, and it has plenty of personality and charm, especially if you grew up with Hocus Pocus and are intimately familiar with the house.

It is absolutely packed with details that fans will appreciate. Unfortunately, many of these details are hard to see and recognize once the set is complete due to design choices. I actually found more joy in building the Easter eggs included in the set than the final version because they are so hard to see. Bag 1 builds the gate and part of a crumbling wall, which sits in front of the main house. This section is completely detached from the main house. There are creepy vines and trees which decorate the crumbling gate and wall.

Hocus Pocus: The Sanderson Sisters' Cottage announced!

I've never seen the movie because I really can't stand one of the stars. But that being said this is an awesome looking set on it's own without figuring in those three characters. When I saw this up on Ideas I don't remember if I actually supported it but when it made it through review I knew it was a set I'll probably be getting because it is so interesting to me.

The Halloween classic Hocus Pocus starred Bette Midler, Kathy Najimy, and Sarah Jessica Parker as the Sanderson Sisters — Winifred, Mary, and Sarah — who were living in Salem during the witch trials. We restrict the purchase limit available to a single household to ensure fairness for all of our fans. If you’ve already reached this limit through previous orders, your entire order may be cancelled. Price-wise, this set is priced fairly, given how much you get in the way of detailed minifigures, with new and exclusive accessories and wigs, as well as a solid minifigure lineup. Unfortunately, Disney were quite prescriptive with who was included in the set, and it was their call on the 6 minifigures included, which is a shame as he’s such a fan favourite and so many were wanting to get a minifigure of him. There are some nice features such as it folding to form a proper fenced/gate section.

Even though the first floor isn’t complete yet, we start building the second story in Bag 6. The floor is installed in the back half of the house only, which allows for more viewing and access to the lower area. The walls are then assembled for three of the four sides. There is still no support or attachment to the small wall segment in the bottom left corner, so it keeps falling off, which is quite annoying. These upper walls are the most challenging part of the build so far. The brick choices are intentionally random looking to give the house the aged appearance, but it can make assembly tricky and the builder really needs to pay attention to the instructions here.

Built in 1930 to mark the tercentennial of Massachusetts, Pioneer Village is America’s first living history museum. The building is listed in the National Register of Historic Places. For the exterior of Allison’s house they used the Ropes Mansion at 318 Essex Street (see how it looks today on Google Streetview). Director Kenny Ortega shot parts of the movie on location in the historic New England town of Salem, Massachusetts. Somehow, our team prevailed, and the film remains a cult hit, partly because of the classic look surrounding and supporting those great performances. We are about to show you the largest set in this list, and it may be shocking.

The set stands 36 inches tall when built making it a fun piece to display. The interiors are teeming with references and Easter Eggs from the movie, and Hocus Pocus fans will appreciate the lengths that the design team have gone to replicate as many details as possible from the gift shop/witch museum. Here’s a look at the sticker sheet, which has plenty of fun little details and references. For licensed sets like this, stickers are a way to boost the realism and incorporate many key details from the movie, so it’s unsurprising that there are a large number of stickers, most of which are relatively easy to apply.

This is a nice nod to the pink smoke in the movie. We also add a few more details to the upstairs like a candelabra, the bedframe and a bat. The instruction book comes in a nice, protected envelope, which also contains the stickers used in the set. There are a few pages of introduction which introduce the designer and the motivation behind the set, and some of the goodies and Easter eggs included.

About two months after their dash to Las Vegas, the Stahls decided to drive up to this mystery spot and have a look around. They found themselves gawping at the entirety of Los Angeles spread out below in a grid that went on for an eternity or two. In the kismet-filled conversation that followed, Buck agreed to buy the barren one-eighth-acre lot for $13,500, with $100 down and the seller maintaining the mortgage until the Stahls paid it off. On that site, they would construct Case Study House #22, designed by Pierre Koenig, arguably the most famous of all the houses in the famous Case Study program that Arts & Architecture magazine initiated in 1945.

Mahmoud Khalil, the lead negotiator on behalf of protesters, said university representatives began passing out the notices at the encampment shortly after 10 a.m. A spokesperson for Columbia confirmed the letter had gone out to students but declined to comment further. The intriguing nature of the house allows for the house to not only hold unbelievable events, but also helps them support the causes they care about.

The ruddy Victorian Gothic Revival-style residence, complete with a steep pitched roof and asymmetrical bay windows, was the perfect place for Clemens to pursue his literary ambitions. Los Angeles police say Hunter allegedly smashed one of the glass doors at Bass' home early Sunday morning while the mayor and her family inside. The students and administrators have negotiated to end the disruptions, but the sides have not come to an agreement, university President Minouche Shafik said in a statement Monday. The university said it will offer an alternative venue for the protests after exams and graduation.

The largest of the guest houses, dubbed “Casa del Sol,” Spanish for “House of the Sun,” affords breathtaking views of the sunset. Protesters at Yale set up a new camp with dozens of tents Sunday afternoon, nearly a week after police arrested nearly 50 and cleared a similar one nearby. Later Sunday, they were notified by a Yale official that they could face discipline, including suspension, and possible arrest if they continued the encampment on a grassy area known as Cross Campus, protesters and school officials said. Regarded as one of the finest examples of Frank Lloyd Wright’s Prairie School architectural style, the Robie House, with its low-elevation Roman brick exterior and leaded-glass windows, is true to its Midwestern inspiration. The use of beige mortar between the rows of bricks and maroon-colored mortar for the verticals emphasizes the structure’s horizontality, giving it a seamless finish that shifts focus from the materials to the striking geometry of the building. The Winchester Mystery House may seem spooky to some visitors—after all, some folks hold that Sarah Winchester built the oddly configured house to confuse the ghosts of people killed by Winchester rifles, which were the source of her fortune.

Designing Immersive Gatherings With Zach Morris of Third Rail Projects

Though the fortunes of Cornelius Vanderbilt II rose during the Gilded Age, the original wood-frame structure of his residence, the Breakers, was ravaged by fire in 1892. Bigger and better than its predecessor, the Italian Renaissance-style mansion is supremely photogenic thanks to its 30-foot entryway gates, red terra-cotta tile roof, and pristine Indiana limestone walls. Of all the Queen Anne-style homes constructed in the late 19th century, the Carson Mansion stands head and shoulders above the competition—literally—due to its impressive 103-foot tower. Dubbed “Lyndhurst” after the linden trees on the grounds, the former residence of railroad magnate Jay Gould draws plenty of camera-happy admirers, thanks to its prominent Gothic Revival architectural details. The asymmetrical roofline, ornamental turrets, and fascinating array of arched windows carve out a striking silhouette that is worthy of framing.

In response, Biden's team has worked to make the president's events smaller and has withheld their exact locations longer than usual in hopes of cutting back on potential interruptions. After the dinner concluded, two protesters holding a sign saying “Stop Israel's genocide” entered the hotel's red carpet area as guests were departing. Occupying a whopping 13.6 green acres in the gently rolling hills of Memphis, Graceland has the same larger-than-life personality as its former resident, Elvis Presley. Although “the King” is no longer in residence at the Colonial Revival-style mansion, its five picturesque bay windows, stately portico, and statues flanking the entryway still make this legendary landmark worthy of a close-up.

While famed author Ernest Hemingway was known for his spare style of writing, his former home in Key West boasts grand, camera-friendly flourishes that typify the French Colonial architectural style. The limestone construction’s friendly facade boasts a wraparound balcony, grand bay windows, and grass-hued shutters that echo the lush subtropical plants surrounding the home. Although our first president never lived in the White House, he occupied a majestic mansion of his own in Mount Vernon. Set along the Potomac River, the Palladian-style plantation home, with a two-story main building and two single-story wings, rivals the White House in both beauty and historical charm.

Facade of home with manicured lawn, landscaping, and backdrop of trees and dark blue sky. The Los Angeles Police Department responded and took a suspect into custody with out incident. The investigation is ongoing, and no additional information is available at this time. Court records show that Hunter was previously charged with kidnapping and attempted murder in 2015 in Massachusetts.

Chris Pine plays a reporter who helps Hodel in her treacherous journey into Hollywood’s dark underbelly. Featuring a distinct Mayan pyramid-inspired facade, a secluded inner courtyard, and four renovated wings, the Sowden House truly is one-of-a-kind. Every room of the house faces the interior courtyard, which shelters a secluded pool and jacuzzi.

It was as conspicuous as it was forbidding, visible from the couple’s house on nearby Hillside Avenue. “This lot was in pure view—every morning, every night,” Carlotta Stahl recalled. Locals called it Pecker Point, presumably because it was a prime makeout venue.

John and Ruth Sowden, for which the house was originally built, were artsy Hollywood folks who liked to party. Therefore, Lloyd Wright, who had been designing sets for Paramount Studios at the time, indulged their desire for the theatrical. As soon as your guests pass through the stylized copper gates and ascend the scissor-style stairs to the main entrance of the house, they will know that they are in for a memorable event! Contact us today for more information about hosting your next event at the Sowden House. The Sowden House supports various nonprofit organizations around the world by hosting fundraising events on our unique property. The Sowden House's wonderful landscape and design can be the perfect backdrop to a memorable experience.

For the Stahls, it became the blank screen on which they projected their dreams of a life together, a place to build a future, a family, and a house like no other. In late 2022, Bass' Baldwin Hills home was burglarized by at least two people. The suspects stole two firearms from the property before being arrested several days later. This incident came in the midst of Bass' run for office as the mayor, while she still a member of the United States House of Representatives.

The protests have even spread to Europe, with French police removing dozens of students from the Sorbonne university after pro-Palestinian protesters occupied the main courtyard. Local neighbors and brave visitors of the Perelson mansion have shared their tales. Through grimy windows, one can see a 1950s-style television set, a Christmas tree, and supposedly, neatly-wrapped gifts. The furniture is covered in a thick layer of dust and the living room remains the exact same as it was that one December night. From charity galas and private parties to photoshoots and corporate retreats, the Sowden House provides a unique and distinctive setting for any event. The estate features a sprawling living room with a grand piano and dramatic city views, a formal dining room, and an enclosed inner courtyard with a secluded pool and jacuzzi.

No officials appeared to enter the encampment, with at least 120 tents staying up as the deadline passed. Protesters who returned to the University of Texas at Austin on Monday were quickly greeted by dozens of law enforcement officers, many in riot gear. Six protesters were quickly arrested and others were taken into custody one by one.

Quarter-acre property a 'whimsical environment'

Designed in 1926 by renowned architect, Lloyd Wright, the Sowden House is a meticulously renovated 6,000 square-foot neo-Mayan mansion in the heart of modern Hollywood. The house is rectangular in shape, with four connected wings looking in on an enclosed central courtyard. In March 1954, Clarence “Buck” Stahl and Carlotta May Gates drove from Los Angeles to Las Vegas and got married in a chapel. They each worked in aviation (Buck in sales, Carlotta as a receptionist), had previous marriages, and were strapping, tall, and extremely good looking—California Apollonians out of central casting. Back home in L.A., as the newlyweds pondered their future, they became preoccupied with a promontory of land jutting out like the prow of a ship from Woods Drive in the Hollywood Hills, about 125 feet above Sunset Boulevard.

The Southernmost House, an oceanfront Victorian-style inn, is a natural in front of the camera thanks to its retro pastel exterior, elegant gables, and bold landscaping. Hunter was one of four people who police arrested in 2015 when a man was beaten with a hammer in Millis. Hunter was found guilty in 2016 and sentenced to 5-7 years in Massachusetts state prison. The plight of students who have been arrested has become a central part of protests, with the students and a growing number of faculty demanding amnesty for protesters. At issue is whether the suspensions and legal records will follow students through their adult lives.

A class-action lawsuit on behalf of Jewish students alleges a breach of contract by Columbia, claiming the university failed to maintain a safe learning environment, despite policies and promises. It also challenges the move away from in-person classes and seeks quick court action requiring Columbia to provide security for the students. Deadline with chants, clapping and drumming from the encampment of more than 300 people.

By holding your event at the Sowden House, you can feel comfortable that your money is going towards a wonderful purpose. Originally designed for open-air gatherings and musical performances, the Sowden House is a distinctive showplace that evokes a sense of mystery and exoticism. Putman said the architect does not design much anymore, but she believes this is one of his greatest homes. "This is definitely the exact kind of house where you would dream," Gambino said in an interview with USA TODAY. "It's a very special house where people immediately get, you know, emotionally connected when they're there." The home at 2538 Sundown Drive is for sale at $2.3 million, listed by Compass agents Carl Gambino and Ariel Putman, and was recently shared on real estate fan account Zillow Gone Wild.

The VH-92 Patriot is landing only on paved runways for now, flying missions with White House officials or Secret Service staff instead of carrying President Joe Biden. The problem is down to an issue first identified in 2018 — the helicopter’s spinning rotors and engine exhaust sometimes scorch the grass where it lands. Police said a motive for the Sunday burglary was not immediately known. No members of Mayor Bass' family were hurt during the break-in at the Los Angeles property known as Getty House. BOSTON – Ephraim Hunter, the man police say broke into the home of Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass over the weekend, was previously convicted in a violent Massachusetts attack.

Designed in the Second Empire architectural style, the hand-pressed red brick structure with an imposing three-story tower and mansard roof makes for an Instagram-worthy scene on Halloween or any day of the year. Each year, several hundred thousand travelers flock to San Simeon to capture a moment in time at Hearst Castle. The former residence of newspaper mogul William Randolph Hearst strikes a memorable pose high above the California coastline. The estate comprises an opulent Mediterranean-style castle flanked by three European-inspired guest houses and lavish gardens and grounds.

The motive for the incident remains under investigation by LAPD Robbery and Homicide Unit detectives. Police say that an unidentified man smashed one of the home's glass doors to gain entry a little before 7 a.m. A person was taken into custody after allegedly breaking into Getty House, home of Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass, early Sunday morning. “In reference to the publicized demonstration, we are working closely with the Metropolitan Washington Police Department to protect individuals' rights to assemble but we will remain intolerant to unlawful behavior,” Guglielmi added. The president called on Russian President Vladimir Putin to release Gershkovich immediately, adding that the White House was also doing everything it could to bring home freelance journalist Austin Tice and businessman Paul Whelan. WASHINGTON — President Joe Biden on Saturday used his White House Correspondents' Association dinner speech to swipe at former President Donald Trump, taking shots at the presumptive GOP nominee while highlighting the stakes of the election.

For the next 50 years, the Los Feliz murder mansion would remain completely untouched and uninhabited by anyone. Gagosian hosts a special event by Adriana Varejão, one of Brazil’s most renowned living artists. For three consecutive evenings, Varejão’s four-channel video installation Transbarroco (2014) played across the facade and in the central courtyard. The interior of the house has been renovated and updated, yet still embraces the original look and feel that Lloyd Wright envisioned when he was designing it. Help us share the Eameses’ joy and rigor with future visitors, so they mayhave a direct experience of Charles and Ray’s approach to life and work. Gambino said the Glassell Park area where the home is located is popular among artists, musicians and actors.

Infamous for its distinctive design and colorful history, the Sowden House has hosted everything from photoshoots and non-profit events to films and TV shows. There are even suspicions that the house might hold the key to the notoriously unsolved “Black Dahlia” murder case of 1947. Take one look at the manicured lawn of the regal Biltmore Estate, and you just might think you’ve been transported to Europe. The demonstrations have led Columbia to hold remote classes and set a series of deadlines for protesters to leave the encampment, which they have missed. The school said in an email to students that bringing back police “at this time” would be counterproductive.

When he's not writing about local events, he enjoys focusing on sports and entertainment. Irving Boulevard in the Windsor Square district of Hancock Park, has been the official residence of the Los Angeles Mayor since 1977. Bass and her family have lived in the home since early 2023 after she was elected to the position. U.S. Secret Service chief of communications Anthony Guglielmi said in a statement that “attendees can expect layered security and screening at the dinner,” adding that there would be “intermittent” road closures near the venue. While the dinner, a tradition dating back 100 years, played out inside the ballroom, hundreds of protesters mobilized outside the venue to call for a cease-fire and criticize Biden's response to the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza.

The suspect, however, was injured after cutting himself on glass from the broken window. Frank Lloyd Wright’s selection of earthy materials like desert rock, concrete, and wood for his home allowed it to survive the harsh desert climate and serve to this day as the main building of the Frank Lloyd Wright School of Architecture. Students and admirers who missed their chance to meet Wright in person can still snag inspiration—and photo ops—from the pristine enclosed garden, tranquil pool and fountain, and six-sided cabaret theater.

Demonstrators on other campuses, meanwhile, said they would stand firm. Jacob Ginn, a second-year University of North Carolina sociology graduate student, said he had been protesting at the encampment for four days, including negotiations with administrators Friday. Meanwhile, a legal group representing pro-Palestinian students is urging the U.S. Department of Education's civil rights office to investigate Columbia's compliance with the Civil Rights Act of 1964 for how they have been treated.

College classes are wrapping up for the semester, and campuses are preparing for graduation ceremonies, giving schools an extra incentive to clear encampments. The University of Southern California canceled its main graduation ceremony this spring. Others are asking the protests to resolve peacefully so they can hold their ceremonies.

The shower, size of the bed and balcony over looking the ocean view was divine. A special note about the staff, the Guyanese bell man was so helpful checking in on us, the check-in desk staff were also helpful with arranging food deliveries. We ate at the restaurant and the food was amazing, not too hot even though it says spicy on the menu, if you like your pepper. The music in the bar lounge was a vibe with some unique south African house mix. This boutique hotel is located right on Great Bay Beach, St. Maarten, and offers spacious rooms with 30-inch flat-screen cable TVs. Captain Hodge Pier is a 7-minute drive away.Featuring Caribbean décor, each room and suite provides a refrigerator and is air conditioned.

All rooms have been refurbished and redesigned by renowned architect Johannes Zingerlee and French Indies Design from St. Barths, bringing a European chic and Caribbean flair. When you imagine driving along the PCH and the dream homes you see along the way, you probably picture a place like Corral Canyon Beach. Floor-to-ceiling windows promise uninterrupted beach views, and the wraparound terrace beckons you from morning coffee through to moonlight drinks. Sleek modernity dominates the home decor with just a hint of opulence, but as you’d expect from the Malibu beach home of your dreams it’s the ocean view that takes center stage. Breakfast was very good and included in price and consisted of good variety of menu options. Location was perfect for access to cruise port.

This is a great day for a relaxing vacation. Superb location right in the heart of Philipsburg, easy for us to get around and catch a bus anywhere on Back Street. I would recommend this hotel and wish we could stay longer. However, our room didnt have self-catering facilities which would have made our stay even more perfect.

The staff was professional, friendly, and responsive. During our stay, we asked for additional blankets, which were brought up to our room while we were on the beach. The beach staff are very friendly and attentive. We enjoyed having snacks and drinks beachside. We included breakfast with our stay, and I highly recommend doing that, as we looked forward to the breakfast each day.

The area is lively during the day but very quiet at night after the cruise ships leave. The downside of that is many restaurants are closed for dinner. The rooms are large and comfortable with spacious balconies. I really commend the staff who are excellent in every area, friendly and efficient.

Difference Between House and Senate: American Government

In order to pass legislation and send it to the President for his or her signature, both the House and the Senate must pass the same bill by majority vote. If the President vetoes a bill, they may override his veto by passing the bill again in each chamber with at least two-thirds of each body voting in favor. Congress has the power to override a presidential veto by a two-thirds majority vote of both the House and Senate. In addition to the Senate majority leader’s power to control debates on the Senate floor, the majority party is granted other rights in the operation of the Senate.

Government information

The legislation was widely seen as a significant step towards reducing the federal budget deficit and restoring the nation's financial stability. The decision of the framers to allow bills to pass the House after getting a simple majority of votes was motivated by the desire to allow legislation to be enacted quickly. The responsibility for assessing and developing bills belongs to standing committees that are chaired by members of the majority party, but are made up of members of both parties, as the Congressional Research Service explains. The succession order in the federal government is president, vice president and then Speaker of the House, the leader of the representatives.

Are the chambers equal in power?

The apportionment was to be based on an enumeration (population census) that was to be made within three years of the Constitution being ratified (approved) by the 13 states, and then every 10 years thereafter. To be eligible as a representative, a person needs to be at least 25 years old at the time of the election and have lived continuously in the U.S. for at least 7 years. To become a senator, one must be at least 30 years old at the time of the election and have lived continuously in the U.S. for at least 9 years. It is not a requirement to be a natural-born citizen in order to become a member of Congress.

Congress, as one of the three coequal branches of government, is ascribed significant powers by the Constitution. All legislative power in the government is vested in Congress, meaning that it is the only part of the government that can make new laws or change existing laws. Executive Branch agencies issue regulations with the full force of law, but these are only under the authority of laws enacted by Congress. The President may veto bills Congress passes, but Congress may also override a veto by a two-thirds vote in both the Senate and the House of Representatives.

The important role of political parties in the organization and functioning of the House is described by the House of Representatives Archive. The majority party elects a speaker of the house and chooses other leadership positions, including the chair of all House committees. There are more members of the House than of the Senate, so the majority party wields more power in the lower chamber. The decision of one senator can change the entire course of a bill in the Senate while a representative in the House cannot.

The Speaker is elected by the entire membership of the House of Representatives and was not traditionally a partisan figure.

Finally, a conference committee made of House and Senate members works out any differences between the House and Senate versions of the bill. The resulting bill returns to the House and Senate for final approval. The Government Publishing Office prints the revised bill in a process called enrolling. Congressional districts have a smaller constituency than the state as a whole, and many House members have "safe seats," meaning that the political party in control of the district is highly likely to remain in control. This often leads to high incumbent election rates, as voters are more likely to re-elect the current representative rather than vote for a new candidate. Nevertheless, the House of Representatives remains a crucial part of the legislative process and plays an important role in representing the interests of the American people.

The Senate website explains that the majority party controls most committee staff and resources, but the minority party retains a level of control based on its share of Senate seats. The House majority leader is charged with formulating the party’s legislative agenda, as described by USHistory.org. The minority party chooses a minority leader whose impact on the House policy agenda is much more limited. The Constitution requires that senators be at least 30 years old, U.S. citizens for at least nine years, and residents of the states they’ll represent.

Senators’ terms are staggered so that about one-third of the Senate is up for reelection every two years. Senators must be 30 years of age, U.S. citizens for at least nine years, and residents of the state they represent. The procedure that Congress must follow to enact legislation is described in Article I, Section 7 of the Constitution. USA.gov explains that anyone who has an idea for a new law is encouraged to contact their U.S. representative or senator to suggest it. However, most bills originate in the offices of one or more of their legislative sponsors. This emphasizes the Senate’s duty to advise on and consent to actions taken in the House and by the executive branch of government.

The way in which the districts are drawn, however, can be influenced by the political party in control of the state legislature. This is because the state legislature is responsible for redrawing the districts to make sure each district is equal in population. In some cases, the legislature may choose to gerrymander the districts in a way that gives their political party an advantage in future elections. House leadership includes the speaker, majority and minority leaders, assistant leaders, whips and a party caucus or conference. The speaker acts as leader of the House and combines several institutional and administrative roles.

They are on average older than their counterparts in the House, and have an older minimum age to be selected, according to the Constitution. If a Washington politician has ambitions for higher things, then the Senate will provide a better springboard. Dennis Hastert, who was Speaker from 1999 to 2007, operated very much behind the scenes, while the House majority leader Tom DeLay .(the Hammer') drove the Republican agenda through the House.

These powers are derived from the Constitution’s necessary and proper clause in Article I, Section 8. The Constitution makes the vice president the president of the Senate, but the vice president is allowed to vote only to break a tie. The Senate is empowered to choose its own officers and president pro tempore to preside over the Senate when the vice president is unavailable. The House determines whether to impeach and if an impeachment is called for; the Senate decides whether to convict and remove the official from office. This follows a pattern established in the British government and American colonial governments dating back to the 17th century, as the Senate website explains. Committees also have subcommittees, which are formed to focus more closely on certain issues.

The compromise established that representatives in the lower house (House of Representatives) will be based on a population number (called a "district") while the upper house (Senate) would contain two representative from each state. It was also decided that all classes would be eligible to become senators, subject to age and residency restrictions. This allowed the legislation to pass even in the face of opposition from some members of Congress.
