In Germany, the Regional Court (Landgericht) is the court of first instance in cases of crimes and serious misdemeanors which are liable to involve a sentence of over four years' imprisonment (though cases of homicide are dealt with by another court known as the Schwurgericht). In civil law cases the Regional Court is responsible for all cases involving claims of over 5,000 euro which are not referred on to a district court known as the Amtsgericht. The Regional Court is also a court of second instance for appeals against decisions of the Amtsgericht in criminal and civil cases (apart from family court issues).

November is here! I've been trying hard to enjoy the beautiful displays of fall that are all around me! Luckily, I've been provided with lots of opportunities, as of late, to take in all that fall has to offer.
So beautiful! My iPhone photo doesn't do it justice!
Beautiful tree at the Flight 93 Memorial.
By taking "the road less traveled", we happened upon some breathtaking scenic views, a quick jaunt through Maryland, the Flight 93 National Memorial, and a fun restaurant & artisan center. I love that my husband, like me, likes the adventure of a road trip. Being his co-pilot (well, maybe more like backseat driver) is fun!
The ushering-in of November also means it's time for Farley's Currently! I've been MIA from the Currently scene for the last couple of months. It feels good to be back!
Listening: Browns fans are happy tonight! I caught the tail-end of that game and am now listening to a show about PIE! It's making me super-hungry. Must.Change.Channel.
Loving: It's the time of year when mornings mean cold hardwood floors. My trusty pink slippers, old as they may be, are perfectly fitted to my feet and shuffle along with me as I make coffee, let the dog out, and get ready for school. They're a sure-sign of fall!
Thinking: I'm gearing up for another busy week (truth: EVERY week is a busy one as a teacher) and making a to-do list helps me feel organized & helps me prioritize. My plans for tomorrow include heading in early to make copies, pull guided reading books, and organize centers...hopefully I can do all of that before 8:55!
Wanting: My first formal OTES evaluation is this week. Ohio teachers know the nervousness I'm feeling about our new evaluation system. I'm confident that my lesson is solid, but as every teacher knows, crazy things can happen when you're being evaluated! I'm trying to remember to just BE MYSELF. After all, that's the "Mrs.Colon" my kids get every other day of the year.
That said, any good thoughts coming my way are certainly appreciated!
Needing: Since daylight saving time is in effect (or is it over? I'm not sure.) it's going to be getting darker earlier. I'm committing to head outside when its nice to ENJOY the November sunshine. Vitamin D, baby!
A yummy pin. Oh my goodness. For real. These baby cinnamon buns made with crescent roll dough are incredible!
I've made them 3 or 4 times since discovering this recipe & there's no end in sight. The sugary butter "sauce" is the stuff dreams are made of. I'd imagine you could tweak it with some vanilla, a little orange juice, or some maple syrup. YUM. Do yourself a favor. Check this recipe out. So good!
I discovered your blog from the Currently link up. Good luck on your evaluation this week, I'm sure you'll do great. I remember being really nervous for my first evaluation. Turns out, I really didn't need to be. Just do the same terrific things you do each day, and you'll be fine.
Thanks, Molly! Your sweet words mean a lot!
Your cinnamon rolls look delicious and would be a fun weekend baking treat to make with my twins! They might love sugar just a tiny bit, so this is right up our alley! Good luck on your evaluation! I'm sure you will do great!
Thanks so much! I'm thinking of making them for Sundsy morning! Have a great weekend!

YouTube videos – soon available from your car
Posted in Gadgets, Internet
We all enjoy watching YouTube videos on our computers, smart phones or perhaps smart TV, as it is the ideal way to listen to our preferred artists or to discover some truly funny videos. The biggest news it that soon it will become possible to enjoy our favorite videos from the comfort of our car, as Google has teamed up with Nvidia and car manufacturers General Motors, Honda, Hyundai and Audi and is about to integrate the Android operating system into cars. According to specialists, this could be one of the most important moves for Android which hasn't been able to infiltrate through the car market so far. In terms of the applications which will be available on the infotainment of new autos, Google didn't divulge any details, but mentioned that all of the apps will be driver-friendly.
To offer the consumers the opportunity to enjoy YouTube videos insider their cars is a move that had been expected for quite some time and now it is finally official. The collaboration between Google, Nvidia and the various carmakers will most surely create a strong impact on consumers who have already expressed their satisfaction through diverse social networks. According to the initial agreement, the auto manufacturers involved in this impressive project will be responsible for the building and the design of the vehicles, while Android will have to accomplish the demanding mission of updating the system whenever it is required. "Our goal is to build an experience that helps drivers get what they're looking for without disrupting their focus on the road," announced the group at the Consumer Electronics Show which took place in Las Vegas.
The actual moment of the release hasn't been announced, but, considering the fact that new models of cars already feature an impressive Internet connection, it remains just a matter of time before YouTube videos will become available. An important aspect is that, with the aid of the Android in-car system, not only those in the front seats will have the opportunity to enjoy YouTube videos at a high-quality, but also back-seat passengers. Of course, many don't see the point of this project and claim that people don't really need access to YouTube videos while in the car. In addition to that, opposers perceive it simply as a clever way for Google to gain a platform in order to stream ads and sell content. The response of the group was that "The OAA is dedicated to a common platform that will drive innovation and make technology in the car safer and more intuitive for everyone."
Before purchasing a vehicle, more and more drivers are making inquiries about the infotainment screens, as they consider them important elements, and this is an aspect which Google, Nvidia and the diverse carmakers involved in this project want to take advantage of. Whether the access to YouTube videos while being in the car is indeed necessary, it is a debatable matter. The important thing is that, sometime this year, the Android in-car system will become available for all those who wish to enjoy its features.

Sherman: No ban for Sterling if in NFLSherman, who signed a $57.4 million contract extension Wednesday with the Seattle Seahawks that makes him the league's highest-paid cornerback, expanded on his comments by saying the league already dropped the ball on racial sensitivity with the way it's handled the debate about the Washington Redskins' name.
"Because we have an NFL team called the Redskins," Sherman said, "I don't think the NFL really is as concerned as they show. The NFL is more of a bottom-line league. If it doesn't affect their bottom line, they're not as concerned."
Sherman also said he was not surprised by Sterling's disparaging remarks about blacks and pointed to the criticism he endured following his nationally televised rant after Seattle beat the San Francisco 49ers in the NFC title game.
"I wasn't really shocked or anything because of what I saw after the incident after the NFC Championship Game," Sherman said. "You've got a lot of racial backlash, and a lot of racist comments that were uncalled for--I can never see a time where racism is called for. So it didn't shock me as much as it would have had I not experienced that personally, had I not seen those things.
By Dan SteinbergAs the Redskins name became a bigger issue in recent months, many players have been asked for their feelings on the controversy. Almost universally, they've punted.
But apparently they weren't all staying quiet behind the scenes. London Fletcher, appearing this week on NBC's "SportsDash," was asked about the Redskins name issue in the context of Donald Sterling, and whether it was hard to shut out that potential distraction.
By Dan SteinbergAs the Redskins name issue refuses to leave the news, players are increasingly dipping their toes into this long-running debate.
"I like what London Fletcher said earlier in the week," former NFL fullback Jon Ritchie then said. "He went to Dan Snyder and said 'Hey, maybe you should actually go and talk to some of these people who are offended.' I like that. I like that he took that on himself, that he made that his responsibility.
Native Group Thanks Richard Sherman for Speaking Out Against Washington NFL Team NameEradicating Offensive Native Mascotry, a group of Native parents and their allies from across the country, wish to thank Seattle Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman's support for hearing American Indian's concerns about the offensive slur "Redsk*ns" as the name of Washington NFL team.
EONM also encourage Native people and their allies to thank other NFL players including former Redsk*ns players London Fletcher and Jason Taylor.Comment: For more on Richard Sherman, see Boastful Cornerback = "Thug"?

John Tayloe III (September 2, 1770March 23, 1828), of Richmond County, Virginia, was a planter, politician, businessman, and tidewater gentry scion. He was prominent in elite social circles.  A highly successful planter and thoroughbred horse breeder, he was considered the "wealthiest man of his day". A military officer, he also served in the Virginia House of Delegates and Senate of Virginia for nine years. The Tayloe family of Richmond County, including his father, John Tayloe II, and grandfather, John Tayloe I, exemplified gentry entrepreneurship.

Early years

Tayloe was born September 2, or September 13, 1770. the son of John Tayloe II and Rebecca (née Plater) Tayloe, herself from a long-established Maryland gentry family. Her brother was George Plater and brother-in-law was Edward Lloyd III. His paternal grandfather was Col. John Tayloe I of the Old House; and great grandfather was Col William Tayloe, the nephew of the original settler Col William Tayloe of Kingsmill Plantation, husband of Elizabeth Kingsmill, daughter of Richard Kingsmill of the Virginia Company.

Of the nine children in Tayloe's family, a twin brother did not survive more than a few days, and two sisters died while babies. His surviving siblings were girls.

Tayloe was educated in England at Eton prior to 1788, when he entered Christ's College, Cambridge. His classmates included Wellington, Canning, and Edward Thornton. He was socially involved with Waterford, Lord Graves, and Grey Skipwith, like him, a native of Virginia.

Career
"He succeeded to the largest estate in Virginia" upon his return to the United States in 1790; as he was the only surviving son after his father's death in 1779. Tayloe was named in his father's will to receive most of his slaves, personal property, land and business interests. When his inheritance was turned over to him, the income was US$60,000; within a few years, he increased this to US$75,000. He owned or purchased Gwinfield in Essex County; Douge, Hopyard, and Oaken Brow in King George County; Deep Hole, Neabsco, and Windsor in Prince William County; Doctor's Hall, Forkland, Marske, Menokin, Mount Airy, and Old House in Richmond County, and Nanjemoy in Charles County, Md.

His father's iron and shipbuilding interests were conserved and enlarged by Tayloe. His master shipbuilder at Occoquan was his slave, Reuben.  Of Tayloe's other slaves, he reportedly sold 50 of them, mostly young girls, during the period of 1809 through 1828. In addition to shipbuilding at Neabsco Iron Works, Tayloe had other dealings in Prince William County, Virginia.  In 1814, he purchased lots in Occoquan, and on the one that fronted Mill Street, he built the Occoquan Hotel.  He served as a county postmaster for a time, and his stagecoach lines stopped in Occoquan, giving passengers a chance to disembark here.

During his residence at his summer home, "Mount Airy", the mansion was enlarged, having originally been built by his father. Among his guests were men of the American Revolution. Tayloe was a member of the Federalist Party, and he was a personal friend of General George Washington. He built the Octagon House in Washington, D. C. in 1799, residing there in the winter. The Octagon was designed by Dr. William Thornton, the first architect of the U.S. Capitol.

While a resident of Washington, he was elected to the board of directors at the Washington Branch of the First Bank of the United States on February 2, 1808, replacing Joseph Carleton, and later served as its president. This bank's board consisted of such men as John Van Ness, Joseph Nourse, and Benjamin Shreve Jr. of Shreve, Crump & Low. Tayloe himself chartered The Central Bank of Georgetown and Washington on March 3, 1817. On March 25, 1812, at the Davis Hotel, he founded "The Produce Bank of the Potomac" with again John Van Ness, Charles Carroll of Bellevue, Elias B. Caldwell, Tench Ringgold, C.W. Goldsborough, and John Graham (diplomat), and later added Roger C. Weightman, and James H. Blake. He was also a director at Bank of Alexandria (Alexandria, Virginia), the Bank of Metropolis and owned shares in the Washington Bridge Company, Potomac Steamboat Company, Chesapeake and Ohio Canal.

He helped organize and founded St. John's Episcopal Church, Lafayette Square in 1814, served as a trustee in 1816 during its construction and upon completion served on the vestry and donated to the parish a communion service of silver, which Bishop William Meade, in his work on the old Churches of Virginia, says had been purchased by Col. Tayloe at a sale of the effects of the Lunenburg Parish Church, Farnham Church, in Richmond County, VA., to prevent its desecration for secular use.

As Captain of Dragoons, he went to Western Pennsylvania, to help put down the Whiskey Rebellion. In 1799, he was appointed Major of Light Dragoons, U. S. A. by President John Adams. When General Washington wrote to Tayloe a warm letter of congratulation, Tayloe hesitated to accept the commission as he had just been elected as a Federalist to the Virginia Senate, and he feared, as he wrote to Washington, that if he resigned his seat, the place would be filled by an opponent of the administration. On February 12, 1799, Washington replied that he was inclined to believe his civil service would be more important than military service. Tayloe served in the Virginia House of Delegates and the Senate of Virginia, as Delegate and Senator. On the breaking out of the War of 1812, Tayloe was made lieutenant colonel of the cavalry of the District of Columbia and saw active service.

Killian K. Van Rensselaer, American lawyer and Federalist politician who served in the United States Congress as a Representative from the state of New York dined at The Octagon House. "Another invitation recalls one of General Washington's closest friends, whom he persuaded to become a resident of Washington in its infancy, and who built the spacious mansion on the corner of New York Ave and Eighteenth Street, which is one of the surviving relics of the primitive city, not having been destroyed by the British in 1814 - Col. Tayloe: "Mr. Tayloe requests the favor of Mr. Van Rensselaer to dine with him on Sat next at 4 o'clock. The favour of an answer is requested. Wed 9th feb.""

Founding of the Washington Jockey Club
[[File:Thomas Sully, Charles Carnan Ridgely, 1820, NGA 32582.jpg|thumb|left|Charles Carnan Ridgely of Hampton by Florence MacKubin]]

In 1798 a mile track was laid out which extended from the rear of what is now the site of Decatur House at H Street and Jackson Place, crossing Seventeenth Street and Pennsylvania Avenue to Twentieth Street. The inaugural match featured John Tayloe III's Lamplighter and Gen. Charles Carnan Ridgely's Cincinnatus, for 500 guineas, ran in 4-mile heats, and won by the former, a son of Imp English bred stallion Medley. The only initial building was a small elevated platform for the judges. The "carriage folk" took to the infield for views of the contests and the strandees crested the outside of the course. The site of today's Eisenhower Executive Office Building, this first course's history was short lived as it stood in the path of L'Enfant's city plan.

In 1802 the Club sought a new site for the tract, as the current one that lay the rear of what is now the site of Decatur House at H Street and Jackson Place, crossing Seventeenth Street and Pennsylvania Avenue to Twentieth Street-today the Eisenhower Executive Office Building-was being overtaken be the growth of the Federal City. With the leadership of John Tayloe III and Charles Carnan Ridgely and support of Gen. John Peter Van Ness, Dr. William Thornton, G.W. P. Custis, John Threlkeld of Georgetown and George Calvert of Riversdale, Bladensburg, Maryland, the contests were moved to Meridian Hill, south of Columbia Road between Fourteenth and Sixteenth Streets, and were conducted at the Holmstead Farm's one mile oval track.

Tayloe's interests included American horse racing, being a leader in this sport during the period of 1791–1806. His son, Henry Augustine Tayloe, founded the Fair Grounds Race Course in New Orleans with Bernard de Marigny in 1838. Like his father, John Tayloe III was a successful horseman, and owned such celebrated racehorses as Belair, Grey Diomed (who he imported, and for him sired Sir Archy whose progeny include Boston (horse), Timoleon (horse), Lexington, Secretariat and American Pharoah), and others.

Personal life

He married Ann Ogle (1775–1855) in 1792.  She was the daughter of Provincial Maryland Governor Samuel Ogle and Henrietta Margaret (Hill) Ogle, of "Belair", and granddaughter of Samuel Ogle, Proprietary Governor of Maryland. The Tayloes raised a family of 15 children: sons Benjamin, Edward, Charles, William Henry, John, Henry Augustine, George, Lloyd, Robert Carter; daughters Henrietta, Catherine, Rebecca, Ann, Virginia, Ann Ogle, Elizabeth.

The memorial by one of his sons, Benjamin Ogle Tayloe, says that "his manners were refined and elegant. He was distinguished for his nice sense of honor, and a scrupulous regard to his word at all times. His wife was esteemed for sincerity and kindness of heart, graceful and dignified manners, and true and unaffected piety."

His coat of arms, Purpure a sword palewise proper between two lions rampant addorsed [Argent?]'', is differenced from the arms displayed by his third-great uncle William Tayloe, grandfather Col. John Tayloe and those of Teylow in Gloucester, England. The sword John III displayed was an epee; the only child of Sarah Knowles Bolton, librarian Charles Knowles Bolton, considered that the lions were likely Ermine rather than Argent. His son Benjamin displayed the arms of his father.

Children of John Tayloe III (1771–1828) and Ann Ogle Tayloe (1772–1855)

The Tayloes had 15 children over the course of 22 years, 13 of whom survived to adulthood. Seven of the children were born at The Octagon House, and nearly all of them resided there at various times in their lives. None of the children were living in the house at the time of their deaths.

A second video of Candice on set from this day, trying to stay warm on 1 of the most miserable days we have had all filming season.
The Flash shoots scenes for episode 416 with Candice Patton as Iris West in a brand new outfit. *MAJOR SPOILER*
THIS BLOG POST IS FOR "THE FLASH" SEASON 4 EPISODE 16 AND MAY CONTAIN POSSIBLE SPOILERS FOR THE SEASON.
The Flash was on location today in Coal Harbour area of Vancouver to shoot a pretty odd scene.
Today they filmed a scene where Candice Patton as Iris West was dressed in a costume somewhat similar to that of Dr. Light.
I will try to go more in depth on the scene at a later time. But for now, here are the first photos of Iris West dressed up as a superhero for The Flash.
In the scene, iris is standing still, and grabs a criminal thats already in handcuffs, and hands him over to the CCPD. Just prior to her coming out, they did a scene where they blew up a Police Car. Her actions in the scene strongly suggested she did this with super speed. Did Iris become a meta from Barry somehow?
EDIT July 2, 2021 - There was also 1 other character on set, at the time I did not know anything about it. So this was added far later. Max Adler was on set as Jaco Birch / Hotness. Aka the "MONEY" guy.
The Flash shoots scenes for episode 409 in downtown Vancouver with Neil Sandilands as The Thinker, as well as Grant Gustin and Candice Patton
THIS BLOG POST IS FOR "THE FLASH" SEASON 4 EPISODE 9 AND MAY CONTAIN POSSIBLE SPOILERS FOR THE SEASON.
With the crossover episode firmly in the crews rear view mirror, the production can move forward with the rest of their season. The Flash were working on episode 409 in downtown Vancouver last night with a large crowd of onlookers peering from across the street of their production.
In an opening scene, they had the shows star Grant Gustin on set doing a scene as Barry Allen with Candice Patton playing Iris West (or is it Iris West Allen now?) his recently married wife. The pair seemed to be walking along in Central City doing some Christmas shopping before Barry is mysteriously yanked away into an alley.
A bit later, the production team moved out a prop chair into the top of the alley. Instantly fans of the show assumed it was the chair for The Thinker. Sure enough, they were right. Neil Sandilands aka Clifford Devoe aka The Thinker took his place in his high tech throne and hovered over the alleway that Barry was yanked in to for a short scene that took longer for them to get him in and out of the chair than it did to shoot it seemed.
A bit later they moved further into the alley, and out of prying eyes. But it was the publics first chance to see The Thinker in person. While we have seen him on screen now in both of the seasons episodes, what we had not seen till now was him roaming around Central City. Now that we know he can & will.... expect to see a lot more from him down the road I suspect.
The Flash, along with Arrow stars, shoot a scene for Legends Of Tomorrow portion of the 2017 Cross Over event - MAJOR SPOILERS
THIS BLOG POST IS FOR "LEGENDS OF TOMORROW" SEASON 4 EPISODE 8 "CRISIS ON EARTH X" AND MAY CONTAIN POSSIBLE SPOILERS FOR THE EPISODE.
Today was the day that the worst kept secret in the Arrowverse happened. Of course, depending how you feel about particular ships in the Arrowverse, this was joyous, or the death of the franchise in your mind.
A duo wedding took place today. Yes, a DUO WEDDING.
With the crossover episodes almost done filming, the cast of The Flash and Arrow found themselves shooting a scene on LOT today with no LOT cast in the scenes. The scene consisted of Arrow cast members Stephen Amell as Oliver Queen, Emily Bett Rickards as Felicity Smoak and David Ramsey as John Diggle, along with The Flash stars Grant Gustin as Barry Allen and Candice Patton as Iris West shooting a scene in downtown Stanley Park for the much hyped double wedding between the commonly shipped duos West Allen & Olicity.
While Barry & Iris looked dressed for the occasion, it was pretty clear the Arrow characters wedding plans were pretty spur of the moment, as they were both dressed in casual clothes.
The ceremonies were officiated by Arrow character John Diggle. For reasons that I am sure the storylines will eventually explain, neither of the couples friends or family were in attendance. The couples instead, acted as each others witnesses. The scene starts with Diggle appearing, clearly after Barry speeds him there. Diggle freaks out, then goes and vomits, before coming back to the two couples, and after a brief talk, starts the ceremony. At the end of the ceremony, the two couples kiss, then the scene ends.
While many fans on both sides are outraged that their couple had to share their moment with the other, many others were just as overjoyed to know their couple of choice at least finally were married.
Earlier in the day scenes were shot with Barry, Iris, Oliver & Felicity, along with characters from Legends Of Tomorrow and Supergirl. I will have a blog on that shoot at a later date.... but for now.... enjoy shippers.

The Flash shoots scenes for season 4 episode 4 with Grant Gustin, Jesse L Martin, Candice Patton & more
THIS POST CONTAINS POSSIBLE SPOILERS FOR "THE FLASH" SEASON 4 EPISODE 4 "ELONGATED JOURNEY INTO NIGHT". IF YOU HAVE NOT SEEN THIS EPISODE YET, AND DO NOT WANT TO SEE OR READ POSSIBLE SPOILERS, DO NOT CONTINUE READING THE ARTICLE BELOW OR VIEWING THE PHOTOS AT THE BOTTOM.
On this shoot, I caught the crew and cast of The Flash shooting scenes over 2 (technically 3 if you include the overnight shoots) days shooting scenes in & around an alley in downtown Vancouver.
During The daytime they would shoot scenes out on the street. On the first day, those scenes included Grant Gustin and Candice Patton shooting a scene as Barry Allen & Iris West where they both find themselves looking up at "something". On the second day, a scene with Grant & Jesse L Martin as Barry & Joe West was shot where they are interacting on the opposite side of the street. Of course, on set at all times was The Flash star, Tom Cavanagh. Mr. Cavanagh was making his 2nd appearance as a director for the show.
There was not a lot to tell from the scenes, as they were pretty generic scenes. There was also night scenes during both of those shoots, with a few different cast involved. I will have a post on those shoots coming up in the near future that will include the first looks at 1 of the shows advertised guest stars/recurring stars for this season.... so watch for that,
The Flash returns to The CW in the U.S. on October 10,2017 and to CTV in Canada
The Flash shoots a couple scenes for the season 3 finale with most of the cast.
THIS IS A POST ABOUT SCENES SHOT FOR THE FLASH SEASON 3 FINALE. IF YOU HAVE NOT SEEN THIS EPISODE, AND DONT WANT TO SEE OR READ ABOUT ANY POSSIBLE SPOILERS FROM THE EPISODE, DO NOT CONTINUE READING OR VIEWING THE PHOTOS BELOW.
* - article revised to include information after the episode aired.
Original article stated Anne Dudek (Tracy Brand) and not Michelle Harrison (Nora Allen) was in the scene. It is info that was on the official call sheet for the day.
The Flash shot several scenes out in public in the last week of filming, including the much talked about Funeral scene HERE. This set is about their 2 night shoots. The first one was the same night as the funeral scene. They moved to B.C. Place to shoot the big spoilery finale scene you have likely seen almost everywhere.
In the scene, you can see Grant Gustin (Barry Allen), Tom Cavanagh (Harrison Wells), John Wesley Shipp (Jay Garrick), Jesse L Martin (Joe West), Keiynan Lonsdale (Wally West), Candice Patton (Iris West), Carlos Valdes (Cisco Ramon), Tom Felton (Julian Albert), Jessica Camacho (Gypsy) and Michelle harrison (Nora Allen)
The scene shows Barry go around to everyone in the group and say some good byes to them, including a kiss with Iris, before he turns around, and for reasons I dont really know.... leaves with Nora*.
In the other night scene shot a few days later at Victory Square. The crew and cast shot scenes in the same location we all know as where Iris dies in episode 309. A few cast were there at various times throughout the night....but I was too tired to stay in the wet weather to watch it all happen. Tom Cavanagh, Jesse L Martin, Candice Patton and Grant Gustin were all scheduled to work that night. I only saw Gustin and Patton working during the time I was there. What I did see though was a confrontation between The Flash & Savitar. Grant was doing scenes where he holds a big ass gun and shoots at Savitar. But does he hit him?? the way the scene plays out, it seems he doesnt.
You can catch The Flash on Tuesday nights on The CW in the U.S.A. and on CTV in Canada.

The Flash shoots a major spoiler for episode 309
THIS POST IS FOR "THE FLASH" SEASON 3, EITHER EPISODE 309 OR 310. If you have not seen this episode & do not want to see or read possible spoilers, do not continue reading or viewing the photos below.
The Flash shot a scene in October in Victory Square that could be for episode 309 or 310 (I sort of forgot now which ep they were on). The scene is pretty epic in a lot of ways.... but, knowing how the show is, and considering 1 of the cast in the scene had just recently let it drop at a convention that she had recently read the script for an episode several weeks after this episode, its kind of 1 of those anti-climactic spoilers that will be ruined by a convenient writing switch to completely erase the impact of the scene.
In this particular scene, A stunt actor in a CGI motion capture suit that is supposed to be Savitar faces off with Grant Gustin as Barry Allen as The Flash. Savitar is holding Candice Patton as Iris West at the top of a staircase in Victory Square, while Barry stands at the bottom. Eventually Savitar make some motion that leaves the limp lifeless body of Iris West falling before Barry catches her as she falls. I know a few people asked on twitter about how I know he kills her. Well, plain & simple. Things I have seen and heard on set that night. Thats all I can say on it right now.
Obviously, as anyone knows. There is NO WAY the writers are killing off Iris West. In fact the actress said at a convention panel just days afterwards that she had already read the scripts for episode 14 which would imply shes still around (of course, whos to say shes not an Iris from a different Earth now.) Several things could be happening in this scene. It could be a dream. It could be a different earth. It could even be that she is actually killed and Barry has to do that unspeakable act of going and resetting time...... again. We will just have to wait & see how it unfolds.
Now this scene is unusual for several reasons.
First, no actual actor was on set for the part of Savitar, just a stunt stand in guy the first time.
Second, they shot this entire scene over again a few weeks later, but there was a slight difference in the fact other cast were also on set that were not around for the original scene that I shot in October.
Third, they DID have an actor on set as Savitar for the 2nd time they did this shoot, former Twilight star Daniel Cudmore was in the Savitar outfit.
Fourth, doing such a public scene for such a notable moment is rare.
As a fan on set that night told me when I told him what the scene was they were shooting, he replied "oh yeah, they do that in the comics". But even with that knowledge, I'm shocked they would shoot it in a public location (granted they tried to do it as late as possible & tried covering it up as much as possible.... the 1st time.).
Whether this is in the mid-season finale tomorrow night, or the mid-season premiere, I cant be too sure.
The Flash airs Tuesday nights on The CW in The U.S. and on CTV in Canada.

Vic 'cowboy developers' face jail time
Angus LivingstonAAP
Tue, 6 December 2016 12:28PM
Cowboy Victorian developers who do building work without a permit could get five years in jail and almost half a million dollars in fines.
But the new penalties comes too late to punish the developers who sparked outrage when they knocked down the 160-year-old Corkman Hotel in Carlton in October.
That illegal demolition forced the government into introducing new offences and fines for illegal building and demolition work.
"This is of course as a result of the cowboy developers at the Corkman Hotel who illegally demolished the hotel without any demolition permit, and indeed without any planning permit in place," Planning Minister Richard Wynne told reporters on Tuesday.
Anyone who orders or carries out building work without a permit could be jailed for up to five years, face an individual fine of $93,276, and a corporate fine of $466,380.
That's on top of any other fines that could be levied through other means, including building and environmental authorities.
Mr Wynne said the penalties were in line with those for doing illegal work on heritage-listed buildings.
Courts will also have the power to intervene and prevent any building work that contravenes the Building Act.
That could include halting building or demolition work, requiring rectification works or a rebuild, or stopping someone operating as a building practitioner.
Mr Wynne said the government and the City of Melbourne was at the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal trying to get an order forcing the developers to rebuild the demolished pub.
Opposition planning spokesman David Davis strongly supported the changes.
"Irresponsible developers should not be able to thumb their nose at the law and at the community," Mr Davis said.

The best hunting jokes
A big city lawyer went duck hunting in rural North Alberta. He shot and dropped a bird, but it fell into a farmer's field on the other side of a fence. As the lawyer climbed over the fence, an elderly farmer drove up on his tractor and asked him what he was doing. The litigator responded, "I shot a duck and it fell in this field, and now I'm going to retrieve it." The old farmer Peter replied, "This is my property, and you are not coming over here." The indignant lawyer said, "I am one of the best trial lawyers in Canada and, if you don't let me get that duck, I'll sue you and take everything you own." The old farmer smiled and said, "Apparently, you don't know how we settle disputes in Alberta. We settle small disagreements like this with the 'Three Kick Rule.' The lawyer asked, "What is the 'Three Kick Rule'?" The Farmer replied, "Well, because the dispute occurs on my land, I get to go first. I kick you three times and then you kick me three times and so on back and forth until someone gives up." The lawyer quickly thought about the proposed contest and decided that he could easily take the old codger. He agreed to abide by the local custom. The old farmer slowly climbed down from the tractor and walked up to the attorney. His first kick planted the toe of his heavy steel-toed work boot into the lawyer's groin and dropped him to his knees! His second kick to the midriff sent the lawyer's last meal gushing from his mouth. The lawyer was on all fours when the farmer's third kick to his rear end, sent him face-first into a fresh cow pie. Summoning every bit of his will and remaining strength the lawyer very slowly managed to get to his feet. Wiping his face with the arm of his jacket, he said, "Okay, you old fart. Now it's my turn." The old farmer smiled and said, "Nah, I give up. You can have the duck."

A hunter goes into the woods to hunt a bear. He carries his trusty 22-gauge rifle with him. After a while, he spots a very large bear, takes aim, and fires. When the smoke clears, the bear is gone. A moment later, the bear taps the hunter on the shoulder and says, "No one shoots at me and gets away with it. You have two choices: I can rip your throat out and eat you, or you can drop your trousers, bend over, and I'll [insert appropriate colloquialism for sodomy here]." The hunter decides that anything is better than death, so he drops his trousers and bends over; and the bear does what he said he would do. After the bear has left, the hunter pulls up his trousers and staggers back into town. He's pretty mad. He buys a much larger gun and returns to the forest. He sees the same bear, aims, and fires. When the smoke clears, the bear is gone. A moment later the bear taps the hunter on the shoulder and says, "You know what to do." Afterward, the hunter pulls up his trousers, crawls back into town, and buys a bazooka. Now he's really mad. He returns to the forest, sees the bear, aims, and fires. The force of the bazooka blast knocks him flat on his back. When the smoke clears, the bear is standing over him and says, "You're not doing this for the hunting, are you?"

Two hunters from Moscow charter a small plane to fly them to Siberia to go bear hunting. On landing, the pilot says, "Remember, this plane can only fly with two hunters, one pilot, and ONE bear." The hunters go out and return with two bears. So the pilot says, "I told you ONE bear!" But the hunters point out that the previous year, on payment of an extra 100 rubles, the pilot had let them put two bears on board. After long discussion centering on the impossibility of the thing and the disgraceful degree of inflation, the pilot takes 200 rubles and with much pushing and shoving the hunters get aboard with the two bears. After struggling into the air and fitfully flying for about two hours, the plane gives up and plummets to the earth in a snowbank. Climbing out from under the snow and the bears, the hunters ask the pilot where he thinks they are. The pilot says, "About the same place where we crashed last year."

Exasperated, the hunter reaches into his wallet and pulls out a license for a Canadian duck. The forest ranger looks at the hunter and says, "you know sir, you've had a license for every duck you shot, tell me, where are You from?" The hunter turns around, drops his pants, bends over and says, "You tell me! You're the Expert!"

In the middle of a forest, there was a hunter who was suddenly confronted by a huge, mean bear. In his fear, all attempts to shoot the bear were unsuccessful. Finally, he turned and ran as fast as he could. The hunter ran and ran and ran, until he ended up at the edge of a very steep cliff. His hopes were dim. Seeing no way out of his predicament, and with the bear closing in rather quickly, the hunter got down on his knees, opened his arms, and exclaimed, "Dear God! Please give this bear some religion!" The skies darkened and there was lightning in the air. Just a few feet short of the hunter, the bear came to an abrupt stop, and glanced around, somewhat confused. Suddenly, the bear looked up into the sky and said, "Thank you, God, for the food I'm about to receive..."

Deer Hunter. A sportsman, and father of 3 sons, was anxious to share his latest kill with his family for Sunday dinner. He didn't want his sons to refuse tasting the delicious venison, so he sat the boys down to dinner without telling them what the meat was they were about to eat. "Oh come on Dad," said the oldest son. "What is this meat?" "Just taste it," said the father, "You will love it." The boys eyed each other nervously and put a piece of the meat on their forks. "Give us a little hint.", pleaded the second son. "Only if you take a bite.", said the father. As each boy took a cautious bite of the venison, the father continued, "Let me think, your mother calls me this from time to time." The oldest boy shouted, "Spit it out boys, it's asshole!"

From Scotland to Cornwall, Britain is full of customs and traditions. A lot of them have very long histories. Some are funny and some are strange. But they\\\'re all interesting and are all part of the British way of life. Throughout this section of our website you will have the chance to discover many of our customs and traditions.

Historically, from 1960 until 2010, the United Kingdom Population averaged 57.0800 Million reaching an all time high of 62.2500 Million in December of 2010 and a record low of 52.3700 Million in December of 1960. The total population in the United Kingdom was last reported at 62.3 million people in 2010 from 52.4 million in 1960, changing 18 percent during the last 50 years.
The United Kingdom has 0.90 percent of the world´s total population which means that one person in every 112 people on the planet is a resident of the United Kingdom. This page includes a chart with historical data for the United Kingdom\\\'s Total Population. This page includes a chart with historical data for the United Kingdom Population.
Regional climates in the United Kingdom are influenced by the Atlantic Ocean and latitude. Northern Ireland, Wales and western parts of England and Scotland, being closest to the Atlantic, are generally the mildest, wettest and windiest regions of the UK, and temperature ranges here are seldom extreme. Eastern areas are drier, cooler, less windy and also experience the greatest daily and seasonal temperature variations. Northern areas are generally cooler, wetter and have a slight bigger temperature range than southern areas. Though the UK is mostly under the influence of the maritime tropical air mass from the south-west, different regions are more susceptible than others when different air masses affect the country: Northern Ireland and the west of Scotland are the most exposed to the maritime polar air mass which brings cool moist air; the east of Scotland and north-east England are more exposed to the continental polar air mass which brings cold dry air; the south and south-east of England are more exposed to the continental tropical air mass which brings warm dry air (and consequently most of the time the warmest summer temperatures); Wales and the south-west of England are the most exposed to the maritime tropical air mass which brings warm moist air. If the air masses are strong enough in their respective areas during the summer there can sometimes be a massive difference in temperature between the far north/north-west of Scotland (including the Islands) and south-east of England - usually around 10-15°C (18-27°F) but can be as much as 20°C (36°F) or more. An example of this could be that in the height of summer the Northern Isles could be sitting at around 15°C (59°F) and areas around London could be basking at 30°C (86°F).
Spring is the period from March to May. Spring is generally a calm, cool and dry season, particularly because the Atlantic has lost much of its heat throughout the autumn and winter. However, as the sun rises higher in the sky and the days get longer, temperatures can rise relatively high, but often tend to drop off again at night due to the cool oceans and the warm weather dependent solely on the sun. Thunderstorms and heavy showers can develop occasionally particularly towards the end of the season.
There is a fair chance of snow earlier in the season when temperatures are colder. Some of the country\\\'s heaviest snowfalls of recent years have happened in the first half of March and snow showers can occur infrequently until mid-April.
Mean temperatures in Spring are markedly influenced by latitude. Most of Scotland and the mountains of Wales and northern England are the coolest areas of the UK, with average temperatures ranging from -0.6 to 5.8 °C (30.9 to 42.4 °F). The southern half of England experiences the warmest spring temperatures of between 8.8 and 10.3 °C (47.8 and 50.5 °F).
Summer lasts from June to August and is the warmest season. Rainfall totals can have a wide local variation due to localised thunderstorms. These thunderstorms mainly occur in southern, eastern, and central England and are less frequent and severe in the north and west. North Atlantic depressions are not as severe in summer but increase both in severity and frequency towards the end of the season. Summer can see high pressure systems from the Azores High.
Climatic differences at this time of year are more influenced by latitude and temperatures are highest in southern and central areas and lowest in the north. Generally, summer temperatures rarely exceed 32 degrees, which happens more frequently in London and the South East than other parts of the country. Scotland and northern England have the coolest summers (average 12.2 °C (54.0 °F) to14.8 °C (58.6 °F)), while Wales and the south-west of England have warmer summers (14.9 °C (58.8 °F) to 15.4 °C (59.7 °F)) and the south and south-east of England have the warmest summers (15.5 °C (59.9 °F) to 17.7 °C (63.9 °F)). The record maximum is38.5 °C (101.3 °F) recorded in Faversham, Kent in August 2003. Due to its proximity to the European land mass, the south-east usually experiences the highest summer temperatures in the United Kingdom.
Autumn in the United Kingdom lasts from September to November. The season is notorious for being unsettled—as cool polar air moves southwards following the sun, it meets the warm air of the tropics and produces an area of great disturbance along which the country lies. This combined with the warm ocean due to heating throughout the spring and summer, produces the unsettled weather of autumn. In addition, when the air is particularly cold temperatures on land may be colder than the ocean, resulting in significant amounts of condensation and clouds which bring rain to the country.
Atlantic depressions during this time can become intense and winds of hurricane force (greater than 119 km/h/74 mph) can be recorded. Western areas, being closest to the Atlantic, experience these severe conditions to a significantly greater extent than eastern areas. As such, autumn, particularly the latter part, is often the stormiest time of the year. One particularly intense depression was theGreat Storm of 1987.
However, the United Kingdom sometimes experiences an \\\'Indian Summer\\\', where temperatures particularly by night can be very mild and rarely fall below 10 °C (50 °F). Such events are aided by the surrounding Atlantic Ocean and seas being at their warmest, keeping the country in warm air, despite the relatively weak sun. Examples of this were in 1985, 2005, 2006, and 2011  where October even more so, saw above average temperatures which felt more like a continuation of summer than autumn. Autumns since 2000 have been very mild with notable extremes of precipitation; the UK has seen some of its wettest and driest autumns since the millennium.
Coastal areas in the southern half of England have on average the warmest autumns, with mean temperatures of 10.7 to 13.0 °C (51.3 to 55.4 °F). Mountainous areas of Wales and northern England, and almost all of Scotland, experience mean temperatures between 1.7 and 7.5 °C (35.1 and 45.5 °F).
Winter in the UK is defined as lasting from December to February. The season is generally cool, wet and windy. Temperatures at night rarely drop below −10 °C (14 °F) and in the day rarely rise above 15 °C (59 °F). Precipitation is plentiful throughout the season, though snow is relatively infrequent despite the country\\\'s high latitude: The only areas with significant snowfall are the Scottish highlands and the Pennines, where at higher elevations a colder climate determines the vegetation, mainly temperate coniferous forest, although deforestation has severely decreased forest area. For a majority of the landmass snow is possible but not frequent, apart from the higher altitudes, where snow can lie 1–5 months or even beyond 6 months.
Towards the later part of the season the weather usually stabilises with less wind, less precipitation and lower temperatures. This change is particularly pronounced near the coasts mainly because the Atlantic ocean is often at its coldest during this time after being cooled throughout the autumn and the winter. The early part of winter however is often unsettled and stormy; often the wettest and windiest time of the year.
Snow falls intermittently and mainly affects northern and eastern areas, Wales and chiefly higher ground, especially the mountains of Scotland where the amount of lying snow is frequently high enough to permit skiing at one of the five Scottish ski resorts. Snow however rarely lasts more than a week in most of these areas as the cold air brought by northerly or easterly winds, or in a high pressure system gives way to mild southerly or westerly winds introduced by low pressure systems. However, on rare occasions some potent depressions may move in from the north in the form of \\\'polar lows\\\', introducing heavy snow and oftenblizzard-like conditions to parts of the United Kingdom, particularly Scotland. During periods of light winds and high pressure frost and fog can become a problem and can pose a major hazard for drivers on the roads.
Mean winter temperatures in the UK are most influenced by proximity to the sea. The coldest areas are the mountains of Wales and northern England, and inland areas of Scotland, averaging -3.6 to 2.3 °C (25.5 to 36.1 °F). Coastal areas, particularly those in the south and west, experience the mildest winters, on average 5 to 8.7 °C (41 to 47.7 °F). Hardiness zones in the UK are high, ranging from zone 7 in the Scottish Highlands, the Pennines and Snowdonia, to zone 10 on the Isles of Scilly. Most of the UK lies in zones 8 or 9. In zone 7, the average lowest temperature each year is between -17.7 and -12.3 °C (0.1 and 9.9 °F), and in zone 10, this figure is between -1.1 and 4.4 °C (30 and 39.9 °F).
The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, or UK, is a sovereign statelocated off the northwestern coast of continental Europe. With a total area of approximately 243,610 square kilometres (94,060 sq mi), the UK occupies the major part of the British Islesarchipelago and includes the island of Great Britain, the north-eastern one-sixth of the island of Ireland and many smaller surrounding islands. The mainland areas lie between latitudes 49°N and 59°N (the Shetland Islands reach to nearly 61°N), and longitudes 8°W to 2°E. The Royal Greenwich Observatory, in South East London, is the defining point of the Prime Meridian.
The UK lies between the North Atlantic and the North Sea, and comes within 35 km (22 mi) of the northwest coast of France, from which it is separated by the English Channel. It shares a 360 km international land boundary with the Republic of Ireland. The Channel Tunnel bored beneath the English Channel, now links the UK with France.
The history of the United Kingdom as a unified sovereign state began with the political union of the kingdoms of England, which included Wales, and Scotland. On the new kingdom, the historian Simon Schama said, \\\"What began as a hostile merger would end in a full partnership in the most powerful going concern in the world... it was one of the most astonishing transformations in European history.\\\" A further Act of Union in 1800 added theKingdom of Ireland to create the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland.
The early years of the unified kingdom of Great Britain were marked by Jacobite risingswhich ended with defeat for the Stuart cause at Culloden in 1746. Later, in 1763, victory in the Seven Years War led to the dominance of the British Empire, which was to be the foremost global power for over a century and grew to become the largest empire in history. As a result, the culture of the United Kingdom, and its industrial, political, constitutional, educational and linguistic legacy, is widespread.
In 1922, following the Anglo-Irish Treaty, Ireland effectively seceded from the United Kingdom to become the Irish Free State; a day later, Northern Ireland seceded from the Free State and became part of the United Kingdom. As a result, in 1927 the United Kingdom changed its formal title to the \\\"United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland,\\\" usuallyshortened to the \\\"United Kingdom\\\", the \\\"UK\\\" or \\\"Britain\\\". Former parts of the British Empirebecame independent dominions.
In the Second World War, in which Britain joined the U.S. and the Soviet Union as an allied power, Britain and its Empire fought a successful war against Germany, Italy and Japan. The cost was high and Britain no longer had the wealth or the inclination to maintain an empire, so it granted independence to most of the Empire. The new states typically joined theCommonwealth of Nations. The United Kingdom has sought to be a leading member of theUnited Nations, the European Union and NATO, yet since the 1990s large-scale devolution movements in Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales have brought into question the future viability of this constantly evolving political union.


HomeHealthIs Your Dream House Built on Shaky Grounds?
Building a Dream House –Will it ever Come True?
No matter how well we are put up or have homes that reflect warmth and comfort, we all dream of living in a house that is situated at the banks of a river, on mountain tops, or in some exotic place in the world like one in Florence or a green house in Australia. If you have enough money, you can make your dream come true.
If you are young and do not have enough resources, you can plan now, gather resources, and implement it sometime in future. But, a dream house is not an impossible thing to have. But, don't be drifted off into your dreams; if you really want a stable home with beauty inside and all around, you need to make sure it is built with utmost care and with the right equipment. Else, your long-nurtured dreams will soon topple causing much dismay to you.
Many people build superb homes by putting their hard-earned money into building them and refurbish them with equal care and luxury. However, homes are not all about aesthetics and adornment. A house is more about stability, comfort, and warmth. If a house looks all pretty and glamorous at the outset only to give you headaches later on in the form of wobbly roofs, pliant walls, and paints that come off after every few months, you will soon find yourself living in a predicament from which you will want a quick and easy escape. But, it is not easy to leave a home to find another property to stay in this age.
Gone are those days of Stone Age, where if one region wasn't found conducive, you could easily affix your tents elsewhere and live peacefully. House-selling decisions are better carried out only after a reasonable time period, that is, after at least 10 years. The prime requirement of a good home is its stability. So, when you are set to build a house, make sure the best quality raw materials and construction equipment are used. For this, you must hire only those vendors who supply quality raw materials.
If you are a contractor, keep in mind that people prefer stable and safe homes over beautiful ones. So, vow to use only the best cement, soda blast equipment, Subaru engine, and mini loader while making houses. Keep in mind the safety of your laborers while buying equipment. If adulterated cement is used to build houses, the effects are seen in the form of roofs that topple, walls that give way, and a house becoming vulnerable to natural calamities sooner than other houses built on a strong foundation. The effects are even more gruesome when such a weak house is built in areas that are more prone to natural disasters.
For instance, your scaffold hire or buying decisions should not focus only on saving cost, but they should be more about buying good quality and easy-to-use scaffolds that laborers find safe standing on. Accidents while standing and working on scaffolds are very common at construction sites. Moreover, accidents due to fall from an unstable or weak scaffold or a scaffold that is not properly erected are very common.
You can buy aluminum or steel scaffolds depending on your requirements. If you wish to hire them and not buy them to save on the cost, make sure you hire only from the best vendor in the industry. Check out their list of satisfied clients before making any deal. Search online for the variety of dealers in construction equipment offering their products at competitive prices.
Quality scaffolds make the work of laborers easy and makes them feel secure while working. If laborers are safe and happy, they will surely put good efforts towards building a stable house. A strong house is every home buyer's dream; if you want more and more people to buy property built by you, mind the quality of the construction equipment you use in all your projects. The profits are yours to enjoy when people agree to pay good prices for the properties you have built and praise you too.
If you build an exquisitely designed house which topples at the slightest forces of nature like a very mild earthquake or a gentle storm, your name as a builder is soon likely to get a bad rep. And no one wants to trust such a builder to provide them property that they can call their 'dream house'.


The security of the most widely used standard in the world for transmitting mobile phone calls is dangerously flawed, putting privacy and data at risk, two researchers warned at the Black Hat conference in Europe recently.
Researchers David Hulton and Steve Muller showed at Black Hat in the US last month how it was possible to break the encryption on a GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications) call in about 30 minutes using relatively inexpensive off-the-shelf equipment and software tools. The hack means they could listen in on phone calls.
The pair are still refining their technique, which involves cracking the A5/1 stream cipher, an algorithm used to encrypt conversations. In about another month, they'll be able to crack about 95% of the traffic on GSM networks in 30 minutes or faster with more advanced hardware.
Their research has been motivated in part by the absence of a more secure encryption method despite years of warnings about GSM.
"Ultimately we are hoping that the mobile operators actually initiate a move to secure their networks," Muller says. "They've had about 10 years, and they haven't done it. In my opinion, there is only one language that they speak: that's called revenue. As soon as they lose the revenue, they will actually change."
Since 1991 when GSM networks debuted, the integrity of their security has declined as researchers probed. In 1998, the A5/1 and the A5/2, a weaker stream cipher, were broken.
Commercial interception equipment, which can cost up to US$1 million, is now available to eavesdrop on calls. Hulton and Muller were game for a challenge and wanted to do it more cheaply.
For around US$700 (NZ$884) they bought a Universal Software Radio Peripheral, which can pick up any kind of frequency up to 3GHz. They modified the software to pick up GSM signals broadcast from base stations. They compared those with signals picked up by a Nokia 3310 phone, which had a software feature that allowed for a revealing peek inside how GSM works.
Hulton and Muller studied how a GSM phone authenticates with a base station and sets up an encrypted call. They then built a machine with lots of memory that uses Field-Programmable Gate Arrays, high-powered hardware used for intensive calculations, in order to crack the call's encryption.
Now they are planning to commercialise the technique, although Hulton says they will vet buyers. He says they haven't had any feedback from operators on their research.
Muller warned that faster attacks on GSM will likely emerge, making it more imperative that the mobile industry finds a solution.
"We started [this project] because everyone said we couldn't do it," Muller says. "Attacks will always get better, they'll never get worse."

The match against Hong Kong will be an 'appetiser' before cricket junkies are treated to a lavish spread of main course which will be the Indo-Pak rivalry.
Although Rohit and his colleagues won't want to take Hong Kong lightly, in reality the match will only be a pre-cursor or a glorified dress rehearsal before they take on an in-form Pakistan the very next day.
Unless a miracle happens, there won't be a remarkable improvement in their performance against an Indian team that boasts of the likes of Rohit, Shikhar Dhawan, KL Rahul, Kedar Jadhav in batting along with Jasprit Bumrah, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Kuldeep Yadav and Yuzvendra Chahal in bowling.
For the past few years, Mahendra Singh Dhoni's waning batting skills have repeatedly come under scanner and this tournament will give everyone a fair idea of his ideal position.
The BCCI has already hired a left-arm throwdown specialist from Sri Lanka to ensure that the Indian have no trouble tackling Pakistan's battery of left-armers. Also, they have Khaleel Ahmed in the team to give the batsmen much-needed practice.
However, on flat decks with little movement from white kookaburra, the Indian batsmen can play their customary 'hitting on the rise' game with minimal footwork.
For Pakistan, the two Indian wrist-spinners will be unknown entities as they were not in the team that lost to Sarfraz Khan's men in the Champions Trophy final in England.
Fakhar Zaman and Babar Azam are the two batting mainstays while Imam ul Haq (Inzamam ul Haq's nephew) has been pretty consistent so far.

I have found such a treasure here in Vero Beach. I relocated here to care for my elderly parents in 1998 after living my entire life in or near a major east coast city (Washington DC, Philadelphia and New York). I am delighted with the cultural atmosphere, delicious restaurants, graciousness of the general population, friendships formed and the constant offerings and variety of fun and interesting things to do. I'd love to tell you more about it!

UC Irvine's Muslim Student Union Suspended for Disruption of Oren Lecture
by Peter Bonilla
A few months ago, Adam wrote about an incident at the University of California, Irvine (UCI), during which Michael Oren, Israel's Ambassador to the United States, was repeatedly disrupted by protesters, including members of UCI's Muslim Student Union. UCI took a firm stand against the protesters' tactics, and several students faced disciplinary charges following the event.
Following a recently completed investigation, UCI has suspended MSU for an entire year, beginning September 1. Additionally, its members must collectively complete 50 hours of community service.
In finding the MSU members guilty of several violations of UCI's conduct code, the investigation found that, among other things, "The disruptions were planned, orchestrated and coordinated in advance by the Muslim Student Union." As we wrote earlier, the fact that the disruptions were organized was evident from the video footage of the disruptions. UCI also pointed to e-mail records of an MSU meeting during which the group discussed the various ways it would disrupt the event.
The Orange County Register reports that MSU has appealed the university's decision, so it remains to be seen whether the recommended sanctions against the group will stand or be altered. Regardless, this episode serves as a reminder that attempting to silence the speech of others may only result in being excluded from the conversation.

Was Fred Noonan an alcoholic?
Many books about Earhart have repeated stories alleging that Noonan had a drinking problem. Some say he had been fired from his job at Pan American Airways for alcoholism. Others even claim that, for the final takeoff from New Guinea, he was so hung over that he had to be helped aboard the airplane. However, film of Earhart and Noonan boarding the airplane that morning show a bright and cheerful Fred Noonan helping Amelia up onto the wing. The stories about Noonan's drinking seem to have begun in 1966 with the publication of The Search for Amelia Earhart by Frederick Goerner and are totally without documentary support. It is one of the tragedies of the Earhart Legend that an aviation pioneer whose contributions to modern air travel are considerably greater than Earhart's, is primarily remembered as Amelia Earhart's drunken navigator.

'Queer Eye' Got An Emmy Nom & Naturally, Jonathan Had The Best Reaction
Frazer Harrison/Getty Images Entertainment/Getty Images
By Danielle Burgos
With the Emmy nominees announced on Thursday, July 12, it's officially the start of awards season, and all nominees are that much closer to actually winning the coveted prizes. Queer Eye, the acclaimed 2018 reboot of popular show Queer Eye For The Straight Guy, received a major nod for Best Structured Reality Show for its very first season — and the cast and crew couldn't be more excited. Each member of the Fab Five is freaking out with joy over the series' nod in his own way, especially hairstylist par excellance Jonathan Van Ness, who's also up for a separate Outstanding Short Form Variety Series award for his Funny or Die show Gay Of Thrones.
It must be an exciting time for Van Ness, and much-needed; earlier in July, the grooming guru opened up in an interview with Time Out about the difficulty of watching a loved one die, and the various ways he coped, including therapy, yoga, and medication he quit cold turkey, leading to what Van Ness called six months of psychotic depression. "The biggest thing about self-care is to be gentle with yourself and remember there's no one way up that mountain," he said. "Maybe don't take advice from this interview about what you should do with antidepressants."
Van Ness is in a much better headspace now, and completely elated to be a double-nominee. On the Instagram photo below he wrote, "To be recognized in this way moves me to tears, the gratitude, the love, gahhhhhh!! @gibblertron @funnyordie I love you all so so so much 💙💙💙💙💙🌈 so much congrats @netflix@queereye #emmys2018 #queereye #gayofthrones."
Van Ness' fellow Fab Five are feeling equally felicitous, as Queer Eye received a total of four Emmy nods, including Outstanding Cinematography For A Reality Program, Outstanding Picture Editing For A Structured Or Competition Reality Program, the aforementioned Best Structured Reality Show, and last but obviously not least, Outstanding Casting In A Reality Program, both for the fellows themselves and the people they help make over.
Each of the guys has hopped on social media to post how psyched they are, and they are feeling their victory:
Show creator David Collins spoke to Entertainment Weekly about his gratefulness at the the multiple acknowledgements from their entertainment industry peers, thanking his cast and crew. Said Collins, "We also hope that in these divisive times, in some way, Queer Eye changes the conversation our culture is having, to one of empathy and understanding. Or stated more simply, Yasssss!"
The reboot of Queer Eye took some calculated risks, like moving the filming and makeover casting from the original location of New York City to Atlanta, GA and deliberately choosing makeover targets who might not be as queer-friendly, including a Trump-supporting police officer. Speaking to IndieWire, Collins said he wants to push even further in the future, breaking the stereotypes that gays don't or can't exist in the Midwest. "I'm from Cincinnati, Ohio, born and raised. I would like to go the tristate region, Ohio, Indiana, and Kentucky...The corn-fed midwestern folk are where I'm from — and I love actually being from Ohio, it's a great place to be from," said the show creator.
In true team fashion, the Fab Five are celebrating their Emmy noms together, all in each other's celebratory photos posing, smiling, and soaking up the shock of four different nominations.
Van Ness is still freaking out the most though, and just shared the exact moment he heard about the Gay Of Thrones nomination on top of Queer Eye's.
It's no surprise the men are celebrating with each other, as it's clear the Fab Five had instant chemistry from the start. In a Bustle interview, Brown explained that it's partly because they all share an important personality trait in common. "We are so open. I don't know if you can tell just sitting here, but any of us in here, we could all be your friend tomorrow," he said. In the meantime, the TV stars are doing some well-earned celebrating today.
