Once Upon A Time In… Hollywood (2019)
July 26, 2019 January 9, 2023 / filmoblivion / 2 Comments
When word began to spread that Quentin Tarantino's "Once Upon A Time In… Hollywood" would be using practical set dressing to convert Los Angeles back to 1969 block by block, we knew this rare occurrence was something we should capture as much as possible for the fleeting moments it took place.
We typically avoid visiting filming locations while a project is in active production. There are so many moving pieces, restricted areas and things in the way, it almost always proves best to wait until a production has left. However, this film proved to be an exception. Documenting the locations in real time made for a much different, more challenging process. Some areas, such as Hollywood Blvd, were lined with large crowds actively watching for nights on end. Other places, such as the Spahn Ranch set, were quite low profile and known to very few. The locations were so impressive, we've deviated a bit from our usual format to show some set dressing and behind the scenes photos. Not everything made it to camera, so we thought it was worthwhile to showcase the level of detail that went into the project. While there are some minor spoilers in this article, we did our best to avoid any major ones.
The early scenes of Rick Dalton, played by Leonardo DiCaprio and Cliff Booth, played by Brad Pitt, on the set of "Bounty Law" were filmed at Melody Ranch in Newhall, California. This is not Tarantino's first time filming at Melody Ranch. Some scenes from"Django Unchained" were also filmed there. Melody Ranch does offer tours to the public, which is a rarity among movie ranches in Southern California. However, the challenge is that it's a very popular filming location, often booked for months at a time. There are only a few opportunities a year you can successfully book a tour and it is typically on very short notice. Here's a look at several buildings seen in the film during the "Bounty Law" advertisement.
LOCATION: 24715 Oakcreek Ave, Newhall, CA 91321
Rick and Cliff sit down for an interview along the boardwalk in front of this building. The interior was used extensively as the brothel where Thandie Newton's character works in "Westworld." The interior of this building was also featured in Tarantino's "Django Unchained," where Dr. King Schulz has a confrontation with the sheriff.
Rick and Cliff head to Musso & Frank Grill to meet Marvin Schwarzs, played by Al Pacino. Musso & Frank Grill is the oldest restaurant in Hollywood, founded over 100 years ago. The restaurant has popped up in numerous films, including "Ocean's Eleven," "Ed Wood," "Blonde" and "Swingers," as well as the TV shows "Mad Men" and "Bosch."
LOCATION: 6667 Hollywood Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90028
Rick and Cliff sit at the bar when Marvin first arrives.
After the meeting, Rick and Cliff head to the parking lot in back and have a quick chat in front of this sign.
The flashback of Rick crashing his car is in front of the Frolic Room on Hollywood Blvd. The same bar was used in such films as "L.A. Confidential" and "The Little Things."
Rick Dalton lives on Cielo Drive next door to Sharon Tate, played by Margot Robbie. The real entrance to Cielo Dr is seen multiple times in the film. The houses seen in the film are not actually located on the real Cielo, but the Tate house is a pretty close representation of what was there in 1969. Most of Cielo is actually public, but the path up to the former Tate residence is private. The entrance area seen in the film is visible from the public portion of the road.
LOCATION: Cielo Dr, Beverly Hills, CA 90210
The actual home used as the exterior for Rick Dalton's house can be found in a cul-de-sac in Studio City. It's actually one of three locations used in the film to composite Rick's home, as each of the individual locations lacked specific features needed for the story. The Studio City home was used extensively, however, with many scenes recognizable to it. Unlike Cielo Dr, Alto View Dr is a public road.
LOCATION: 10969 Alta View Dr, Studio City, CA 91604
The driveway is featured in many scenes in the film, with a large painting of Rick placed on the left side.
Here is the front entrance of the home. The door was painted green in the film.
Rick's pool overlooking the city is a real pool at the home.
Here is an alternate view of the pool, along with the area where Rick stores his flamethrower.
As Rick is memorizing his lines for an upcoming role at his pool, the camera shifts over to the Tate/Polanski house, which is a geographically accurate shot.
The house next door serves as the home of Sharon Tate and Roman Polanski. The home is a departure from how the real house on Cielo appeared, but it serves Tarantino's story well. This is actually one of two locations used for the home. We cover the second location later in this article.
Here is a view of Rick Dalton's house on the right and the Tate/Polanski gate on the left.
Here's a closer look at the gate to the Tate residence.
Here is the area where Charles Manson, played by Damon Herriman, parks a Twinkies delivery truck. Cliff observes him from the roof as he goes looking for Terry Melcher.
Here is the road leading into the cul-de-sac of the Dalton and Tate/Polanski residences, which is seen a few times in the film.
After dropping Rick off at his home, Cliff drives at high speeds down Hollywood Blvd as he heads home.
LOCATION: Hollywood Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90028
Here is Brad Pitt waiving to the crowd on the street.
Tarantino acknowledging the crowd of onlookers as well.
Here's a deeper look at the set dressing around Hollywood Blvd, which was completely transformed back to 1969 for the film.
Cliff's trailer, supposedly located on the grounds of the Van Nuys Drive-In Theatre (a real drive-in theater long since closed), was a combination of two locations. The drive-in sign was built by the production at the Saugus Speedway in Santa Clarita, which now serves as the site of the Santa Clarita Swap Meet. Cliff drives past the white fencing and enters here.
LOCATION: 22500 Soledad Canyon Rd, Santa Clarita, CA 91350
The camera cranes up over the sign, which was a creation of the production and we're seamlessly transported to a second location. The drive-in itself is the Paramount Drive-In Theaters.
LOCATION: 7770 Rosecrans Ave, Paramount, CA 90723
Sharon Tate and husband Roman Polanski attend a party at the Playboy Mansion. This was filmed at the real former Playboy Mansion. The property sits in a residential neighborhood and if you didn't know what you were looking for, it would be very easy to drive past without any idea. It should be noted from the street you can mostly just see the front gate. Since the passing of Hugh Hefner, the property has transitioned over to new owners, into a place for corporate functions, private events and film and television production, as well as undergoing substantial renovations.
LOCATION: 10236 Charing Cross Rd, Los Angeles, CA 90024
Sharon dances in the back area on the left, near the grotto. The mansion has appeared in countless films, such as "The House Bunny," "Beverly Hills Cop II," "Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle," the 2014 version of "The Gambler," "The Phantom" and many more.
After the party at the Playboy Mansion, the film cuts to morning at the home of Roman Polanski and Sharon Tate. This is not the same home in Studio City seen earlier in the film. Roman is seen sitting in the back yard with his dog. This home can be found in Tarzana and was painted red for the film. It sits right next to another filming location; the winding road seen to the left of the frame was featured prominently in "Licorice Pizza."
LOCATION: 19471 Rosita St, Tarzana, CA 91356
The scene where Cliff fights Bruce Lee supposedly takes place on a studio backlot. In reality, it was filmed at a high school, with heavy set dressing added to make it appear like a backlot. The school is Excelsior High School in Norwalk, which was also featured in the film "Grease 2." Cliff sits outside of Rick's trailer, which is parked in this lot. Randy, played by Kurt Russell, speaks with Rick in his trailer and reluctantly agrees to hire Cliff onto the stunt team.
LOCATION: 15711 Pioneer Blvd, Norwalk, CA 90650
Here is the area where the fight between Cliff and Bruce Lee takes place.
Janet, played by Zoë Bell, comes across the two men sparring and insists Cliff be fired on the spot.
The Manson Family girls are introduced digging through the dumpsters at the Super A Foods market. The same market was seen in the films "A Star Is Born" and "Crossroads."
LOCATION: 2924 Division St, Los Angeles, CA 90065
It's difficult to see, but the actresses playing the Manson girls, including Harley Quinn Smith, are gathered by the dumpster in the center of this shot.
The Manson girls then walk away with their haul, making their way past this mural of James Dean from the film "Giant." This was located at a pharmacy just across the street from the Super A Foods market. It was added by the production and is unfortunately no longer painted on the actual location.
Here's a look at some more of the shoot from Super A Foods.
Cliff and Rick stop at this intersection, where Cliff first sees Pussycat, played by Margaret Qualley, crossing the street with the Manson Family girls.
LOCATION: Corbin Ave / Greenbriar Dr, Los Angeles, CA 91356
While driving, Cliff again spots Pussycat sitting in front of the Pandora's Box nightclub looking for a ride. Pandora's Box was a real nightclub in West Hollywood, which was at the center of protests over a curfew in 1966. The building was eventually demolished in 1967. For the film, the production recreated the former nightclub at Jospeh's Cafe on Ivar Ave. Here's a view of when the production was setting up for the scene.
LOCATION: 1775 Ivar Ave, Los Angeles, CA 90028
From the reverse view at the same location, Cliff can be seen in his car with the Capitol Records building in the background.
Here's a couple more shots from when the Pandora's Box shoot was prepping.
On her way to the theater, Sharon picks up a hitchhiker on Wilshire Blvd.
LOCATION: Near the intersection of Wilshire Blvd / S Beverly Glen Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90024
Sharon parks in this lot and parts ways with the hitchhiker.
LOCATION: Near 972 Gayley Ave, Los Angeles, CA 90024
Sharon stops by the Bruin Theater to watch herself in the film "The Wrecking Crew" with Dean Martin. The Bruin is still in operation, though the marquee is now digital. Fatboy Slim's music video for "Praise You" shot in front of the same theater.
LOCATION: 948 Broxton Ave, Los Angeles, CA 90024
The Fox Theater right across the street is also seen in several shots.
Here's a closer look at the Fox Theater, with the finished marquee for the film.
Here is the view across the street from the Bruin Theater, when it was dressed for filming.
Here is the exterior of the book store Sharon Tate visits. It's not a book store in realty, but this is what it looked like when it was fully dressed.
LOCATION: 10909 Weyburn Ave, Los Angeles, CA 90024
This travel agency was also seen in the film. It was another creation of the production and not an actual travel agency.
Here are some more views of the area when production was in progress.
Cliff takes Rick down Hollywood Blvd and they pass the famous Pantages Theater.
Cliff runs into Pussycat once again in front of Jackalope Pottery in North Hollywood.
LOCATION: 10726 Burbank Blvd, North Hollywood, CA 91601
Here is the area when filming was taking place. It was overflowing with crew at the corner.
Just across the street, Quentin Tarantino stood on the right, along with Rick Dalton's car on the street.
Cliff heads onto the freeway with Pussycat, turning from Hollywood Blvd onto the 101 northbound ramp.
LOCATION: US-101 northbound ramp, near Hollywood Blvd / N Van Ness Ave, Los Angeles, CA 90028
Pussycat takes Cliff to Spahn Ranch, which was a very accurate recreation built at Corriganville Park in Simi Valley. Originally the production hoped to film at the real Spahn Ranch, but due to the fact that the entrances were bulldozed over, it made the land difficult for building sets. Much like Spahn Ranch, the nearby Corriganville is also a former movie ranch which hosted many westerns in during the 1950s and 1960s, before being destroyed by widlfires. The land now operates as a public park, but there are many signs explaining the land's film history and the frames of the old buildings are still in the ground.
The Spahn Ranch set took a couple months to build, but when it was finished, it shot very quickly and was demolished just a few weeks later. Having done plenty of research on the real Spahn Ranch and The Manson Family long before this film was ever announced, we were quite well versed in the subject matter. Standing in person at what was a near exact, full scale replica of Spahn Ranch remains one of the most memorable location experiences we've ever had. The production design and attention to detail was incredible. If you go there now, it's empty land again, but here we'll take a look at when the set existed.
LOCATION: 7001 Smith Rd, Simi Valley, CA 93063 (Spahn Ranch sets now demolished)
George Spahn's house plays a key role in the scene, as Cliff insists on speaking with the old man, played by Bruce Dern.
Some more views of the Spahn house.
Here is a view of the front of the Spahn set, including the famous truck. The signs for the Longhorn Saloon and Rock City Cafe are spot on to the original ranch.
Here is the horse stable area where Clem sits on the fence.
Here are some more views around the ranch.
After leaving Spahn Ranch, Cliff picks up Rick in front of the Columbia Pictures building. This is actually in front of Paramount Pictures Studio Tour building.
LOCATION: 5515 Melrose Ave, Los Angeles, CA 90038
Rick is photographed with a new love interest in tow at a restaurant, supposedly located in Rome, Italy. This is actually the Cicada Restaurant in Downtown Los Angeles. The interior is also seen in another scene of Marvin Schwarz calling Rick as he sits at the bar. The restaurant has been featured in numerous films, such as "Mank" "Pretty Woman," "Mr. & Mrs. Smith," "Indecent Proposal," "Suicide Squad" and "Bruce Almighty," as well as such TV shows as "Mad Men, "The Morning Show" and "American Horror Story."
LOCATION: 617 S Olive St, Los Angeles, CA 90014
Rick returns from Italy with his costar. The couple is seen walking past the wall tiles of Terminal 6 at LAX Airport. These tiles can be found along the pedestrian tunnel in the lower level and are only accessible to airline passengers and staff, as they make their way to baggage claim or the exits. Tarantino also filmed Pam Grier in this area in the opening of "Jackie Brown."
LOCATION: Terminal 6, 1 World Way, Los Angeles, CA 90045 (lower level, arrivals area)
In the third act, a montage of businesses are shown turning on their neon lights as night falls, leading up to the conclusion of the film.
An old Taco Bell is also shown. This was located much further south in Tunstin. The building was abandoned and the production came and made it look like an operational Taco Bell from 1969.
LOCATION: 14232 Newport Ave, Tustin, CA 92780
The famous Cinerama Dome in Hollywood is seen next.
LOCATION: 6360 Sunset Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90028
The Vine Theater on Hollywood Blvd is also seen. This was part of the production design for when Cliff is seen driving home early in the film.
The Supply Sergeant sign is also seen illuminating. This remains an active business on Hollywood Blvd.
Chili John's in Burbank is also briefly seen.
LOCATION: 2018 W Burbank Blvd, Burbank, CA 91506
Der Wienerschnitzel is actually a taco stand today, which the production altered to make it appear like it did back in the 1960s.
LOCATION: 1910 W Pacific Coast Hwy, Long Beach, CA 90810
Sharon Tate, Jay Sebring, Abigail Folger and Voytek Frykowski have dinner that evening at the El Coyote restaurant. This is where the real people ate that night and the film shot at the actual location.
LOCATION: 7312 Beverly Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90036
Here is a view of the front entrance of El Coyote, which remains in business to this day.
Rick and Cliff have dinner at the same evening at Casa Vega in Sherman Oaks.
LOCATION: 13301 Ventura Blvd, Sherman Oaks, CA 91423
The location actually appears twice in the film, with one of the booths inside also standing in as a restaurant supposedly in Spain.
We leave you with Quentin Tarantino's hand and foot prints in front of the Chinese Theater on Hollywood Blvd. While in no way a filming location, we felt it was nevertheless fitting to include.
LOCATION: 6925 Hollywood Blvd, Hollywood, CA 90028
It was a unique experience walking through 1969 with the production and we hope these photos help you share in that experience. There's actually many locations we captured where the production shot, but were not featured in the final film. Perhaps there will be a longer or alternate cut someday. For now, we'll keep to the places that made it into the film.

"Too Old to Die Young" from director Nicolas Winding Refn is, depending on how you look at it, either a TV series or a long film. Refn himself prefers to view it as the latter. Most of the production took place around the San Fernando Valley in Southern California, with some additional filming in New Mexico. Here we'll cover the locations episode by episode. Some locations of course appear over multiple episodes. This article contains many spoilers for the show, so please do not proceed unless you've seen it in it's entirety.
Volume 1 – "The Devil"
The first episode opens with Martin Jones, played by Miles Teller and his partner Larry, played by Lance Gross, standing in front of this mural along the side of a taco restaurant in Studio City.
LOCATION: 11401 Moorpark St, Studio City, CA 91602
Here is a wider view of the side of the building. The same building has appeared in the films "People Like Us" and "Up In Smoke."
Also seen in the opening scene is this sports bar, located directly next to the taco restaurant.
Unbeknownst to Martin and Larry, they are being watched from across the street by Jesus, played by Augusto Aguilera.
Martin and Larry pull over a young woman in the parking lot of a largely abandoned shopping plaza in North Hollywood known as the Valley Plaza. The area is a popular filming location, having also recently appeared in "Captain Marvel." The Blockbuster Video store where Carol Danvers first arrives is one of the store fronts in the background.
LOCATION: Near the intersection of Sylvian St / Vantage Ave, North Hollywood, CA 91606 (directly across from 12200 Sylvan St, North Hollywood, CA 91606)
The police car is parked in the area to the left near the tree.
After taking money from the girl they've pulled over, they let her go and Larry walks over towards a restaurant called "The Lone Drifter." This is not a real establishment, rather a vacant building dressed up by the production. It too was seen in "Captain Marvel," dressed as a music venue called "The Slow Club," where Carol makes a call at a payphone.
Jesus is parked just beside the building, where he approaches and shoots Larry. The fire hydrant to the right is where Larry's cell phone is recovered.
LOCATION: 2124 Sylvan St, North Hollywood, CA 91606
Martin returns fire on Jesus with the Regency Valley Plaza theater seen in the background.
After the shooting, Jesus escapes driving down Sylvian St and turning right onto Laurel Canyon Blvd. Martin calls in the shooting and surprisingly states the actual location of the scene to dispatch, rather than a fictionalized address, which is a somewhat rare occurrence in film and television.
The police station where Martin works, seen frequently throughout the show, is the Sunkist Headquarters building in Sherman Oaks. It is seen mostly from interior views in the show.
LOCATION: 14130 Riverside Dr, Sherman Oaks, CA 91423
The building faces the 101 freeway and Westfield shopping mall, both of which are seen through the windows in various scenes.
Not far from the police station, Martin parks here and walks to a payphone to call Damian, played by Babs Olusanmokun. This area is the rear parking lot behind a shoe repair and dry cleaners, looking out over a gas station and bank building. There is no actual payphone there.
LOCATION: 13644 Riverside Dr, Sherman Oaks, CA 91423 (rear parking lot)
Damian runs his operation out of an ice skating rink in Van Nuys. The location appears many times in the show, from a variety of angles both from the interior and exterior. Here is the front entrance.
LOCATION: 14318 Calvert St, Van Nuys, CA 91401
In one scene, Martin is seen approaching past this sign.
The parking lot is featured in several scenes. First, Martin meets Damian to say he only wants to kill those who have committed horrible acts. In later episodes, Damian slices fruit with a sword and a would-be assassin named Gameboy watches as Damian and his crew perform a peculiar dance to "Ten Commandments" by Prince Buster.
Here is the corner where Devante, Jaime and Gameboy all stake out Damian's ice rink.
LOCATION: Calvert St / Tyrone Ave, Van Nuys, CA 91401
Gameboy mistakenly takes out the wrong man, killing Celestino. He attempts to speed off, but Damian returns fire and kills him in the street.
Martin's apartment can be found in Sherman Oaks.
LOCATION: 14426 Addison St, Sherman Oaks, CA 91423
Janey, played by Nell Tiger Free, lives with her father Theo, played by Stephen Baldwin at this home. The distinctive, eye shaped front window was created by the production and does not exist at the real home.
LOCATION: 1623 N Benton Way, Los Angeles, CA 90026
Later, when Martin returns home with Janey, Damian and his crew are waiting on this street corner, where they violently persuade Martin to become a hitman for them.
LOCATION: Addison St / Tilden Ave, Sherman Oaks, CA 91423
Martin pays a visit to Amanda's apartment in North Hollywood to pay her money.
LOCATION: 6837 Fulton Ave, North Hollywood, CA 91605
As Martin goes to perform the hit ordered by Damian, he parks at this liquor store.
His target is a man inside this auto shop.
LOCATION: 4350 Whitsett Ave, Studio City, CA 91604
Once inside, he finds the man nude on a couch and the two engage in a physical battle before Martin gets the upper hand.
Volume 2 – "The Lovers"
Don Ricardo's estate, where much of episode 2 takes place, is the Hummingbird Nest Ranch in Simi Valley. The property regularly hosts weddings and special events. It is otherwise a private estate, however, only allowing guests by appointment. The only road leading to the ranch is typically gated shut with no trespassing signs, making it unfortunately closed to the public. The property has also appeared in Oliver Stone's "Savages," "Jobs" starring Ashton Kutcher and in the second season of "True Detective."
LOCATION: 2940 Kuehner Dr, Simi Valley, CA 93063
Volume 3 – "The Hermit"
In episode 3, the character of Viggo, played by John Hawkes, is introduced. As he is transporting a dead body in his trunk, he suddenly runs out of gas. He pulls over to this alley in Van Nuys.
LOCATION: 14524 Hamlin St, Van Nuys, CA 91411
Not thinking clearly, Viggo locks himself out of his car. In the neighboring parking lot, gunshots suddenly ring out as an unrelated crime takes place. Viggo decides to escape on foot, leaving the key with his fingerprint inside the car. The next morning Martin arrives and discovers the key, putting him on the trail of Viggo.
LOCATION: 6417 Van Nuys Blvd, Van Nuys, CA 91401 (rear parking lot)
Diana, played by Jena Malone, orchestrates Viggo's targets and regularly meets with him at the Hansen Dam Aquatic Center. The pool has a picturesque mountain range spanning the backdrop. It is depicted as quiet and isolated in the show, but in reality, it's a popular spot for families to visit.
LOCATION: 11798 Foothill Blvd, Lake View Terrace, CA 91342
The slide at the pool is also seen in a later episode when the two once again meet up and talk.
Martin visits the family of an abused boy to gather more information on Viggo.
LOCATION: 6616 Langdon Ave, Van Nuys, CA 91406
Janey forces a bartender to serve her a drink despite knowing she is underage. Most of the scene is out of focus, but when she exits the building, it is revealed to be a bar inside Highland Park Bowl.
LOCATION: 5621 N Figueroa St, Los Angeles, CA 90042
Here is a view of the full exterior, although it is never seen from this angle in the show.
Janey then walks over to meet her father at an art gallery. This is geographically accurate, as the location really is just a few doors down from the bar. It is seen only from interior views in the scene. This same building has appeared in the film "Lights Out," as well as the TV shows "Leverage" and "Battle Creek."
Martin finally tracks down Viggo and follows him to his mother's house in Sylmar.
LOCATION: 11370 Clybourn Ave, Sylmar, CA 91342
Martin then follows Viggo to the Northridge Fashion Center, which leads him to Diana. Viggo is seen driving up this ramp. To access the exact area seen in the film, you need to go to Nordhoff St and turn into the lot near Sears. The ramp is on the left and will take you to the upper lot where the scene was shot.
LOCATION: 9301 Tampa Ave, Northridge, CA 91324
Viggo parks along the wall on the right, while Diana parks beside the lamppost in the foreground. Martin photographs them from afar, looking at this angle.
Martin is told to meet Damian at a strip mall near the house. Damian gives him a key to enter the house of his next target. The plaza can be found in Studio City.
LOCATION: 11308 Ventura Blvd, Studio City, CA 91604
Martin meets with Viggo at the Olympic Coffee Shop in Sylmar. The two discuss what it feels like to kill. The same coffee shop has appeared in the films "Over The Top," "Memento" and "Every Which Way But Loose," as well as such TV series as "Bosch" and "NCIS: Los Angeles." Across the street is another notable filming location, the motel from "The Addams Family."
LOCATION: 12192 San Fernando Rd, Sylmar, CA 91342
Volume 4 – "The Tower"
Martin's next target is a Korean man that he tracks down at this burger restaurant in Burbank.
LOCATION: 2320 W Victory Blvd, Burbank, CA 91506
Martin follows the man and he pulls over here to eat a burger. As Martin pulls the gun, he finds himself conflicted about whether the man really deserves death and decides to find an alternate solution. Once again, the route they drive is geographically accurate and just a short distance from the burger restaurant.
Volume 5 – "The Fool"
Episode 5 was filmed on location in Albuquerque, New Mexico. We do not yet have specific location information at this time.
Volume 6 – "The High Priestess"
Back in the Valley, Alfonso attempts to get in the good graces of Jesus by ordering a hit on Damian. He visits Devante at this auto shop in Van Nuys and hires him to perform the hit for $6,000.
LOCATION: 14101 Oxnard St, Van Nuys, CA 91401
Devante then outsources the job to Jaime for $2,000, who in turn outsources the hit to a junkie named Gameboy for $200 and some crystal meth. Gameboy stops by this apartment and does some drugs, tearing the photo of his target in two in the process and mixing up Damian with Celestino. The address is on Bakman Ave in North Hollywood, but the view seen in the show is actually the back side of the building, on an unnamed road next to the electrical towers.
LOCATION: 6607 Bakman Ave, North Hollywood, CA 91606 (rear side of the building on an unnamed road)
Gameboy is then seen passing the electrical towers and turning down Kittridge St to go kill Damian. Things do not go as planned.
Volume 7 – "The Magician"
Janey's father Theo, played by William Baldwin, takes Martin to a screening room, where he plays a scene of a show within a show. The scene is very meta, mimicking the scene from episode 1 where Martin and Larry pull over a woman. This was filmed at an auto shop very close to the location of the final scene in the show.
LOCATION: 5547 Satsuma Ave, North Hollywood, CA 91601
After Viggo helps Martin dispose of a body, Martin asks him to pull over as he vomits.
LOCATION: 8981 Bradley Ave, Sun Valley, CA 91352
Volume 8 – "The Hanged Man"
Martin and Viggo's next target takes them to an abandoned shopping mall. This is the former Hawthorne Plaza Shopping Center. The plaza has been abandoned for years, with on-again, off-again plans for demolition. In the meantime, it has become a popular spot for filming and photography. It has been seen in such films at "Gone Girl," "Minority Report," "John Dies At the End," and "The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift," as well as the TV series "Westworld." The building is closed to the public and regularly patrolled by security, so unless you have permission from the city or someone filming, it is trespassing to enter the grounds. It is a popular spot for abandon building enthusiasts, however, and quite a few people have managed to get inside over the years.
LOCATION: 12124 Hawthorne Blvd, Hawthorne, CA 90250 (closed to the public)
The High Priestess of Death executes everyone in sight at the Sierra Pelona Motel in Santa Clarita. The motel was also used in "The Grifters," the 2002 Britney Spears film "Crossroads" and the TV series "Westworld." The motel is also located very close to the restaurant from "Duel." The phone booth was not a prop and really exists at the motel.
LOCATION: 12117 Sierra Hwy, Santa Clarita, CA 91390
Most of the killings take place in front of rooms 3 and 4.
Volume 9 – "The Empress"
In the penultimate episode, Diana has a vision which changes her eyes. She visits a mysterious woman to explain her vision and fix her eyes. All of the decor seen in the front of the shop is real and was not a flourish of the production. This location is right across the street from the scene in episode 1 where Martin and Larry pull over the young woman.
LOCATION: 6316 Laurel Canyon Blvd, North Hollywood, CA 91606
Diana makes her way out to the back of the building to speak to the woman.
Volume 10 – "The World"
In the final episode, Yuritza makes her presence known as the High Priestess of Death. She sits at the corner of Satsuma Ave and Cumpston St. This is on the same street as the show within a show that Theo plays for Martin in his screening room.
LOCATION: Satsuma Ave / Cumpston St, North Hollywood, CA 91601
The final scenes were filmed at the Limelight West, an event space in North Hollywood.

The TV series "GLOW" tells the real life story of a 1980s women's wrestling promotion called the "Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling." The show, starring Alison Brie, was primarily set around the San Fernando Valley in Southern California for the first two seasons, before shifting to Las Vegas for the third season.
The exterior of the gym where the ladies train can be found at the San Fernando Masonic Lodge. The angle shown is from the back of the building. There is a gate on the front side preventing vehicle access to this area. There is also fencing along the back. However, there is an alley running behind the property, allowing for views of the location. The interior of the gym was a set built on a sound stage.
LOCATION: 1112 N Maclay Ave, San Fernando, CA 91340
The diner the girls frequent is Cadillac Jack's in Sun Valley. It is no longer an active restaurant establishment, instead it is used solely as a filming location or event space. The building is actually part of the same property as the hotel used in the show and located directly beside it. The restaurant has been used in countless productions, including "Grease 2," "The Whole Ten Yards," the TV shows "Vanderpump Rules," "MacGuyver" and dozens more. It has also been featured in many music videos, such as CeeLo Green's "Forget You" and Mandy Moore's "Candy."
It should be noted that this location, including the hotel, has gained reputation in recent years for disliking unsolicited visitation. Cones block off most of the entrances. Due to the filming history, as well as the unique look of the property, it often attracts interest from the general public. We had no issues when we visited, but there are numerous comments online from others with more unpleasant experiences. If you do visit, keep in mind that they have apparently become sensitive about the issue and be careful not to trespass.
LOCATION: 9457 San Fernando Rd, Sun Valley, CA 91352
The girls attend a party at the house of the producer Bash. This was filmed at the Circles on the Point mansion in Malibu. The 1994 film Bruce Willis film "Color Of Night" also filmed here, as well as the TV series "Jean-Claude Van Johnson."
LOCATION: 29377 Cliffside Dr, Malibu, CA 90265
The Dusty Spur motel where the girls reside is actually the Pink Motel in Sun Valley. It's part of the same property as the diner on the show and sits directly beside it. It is not an operational motel, rather a set used for filming or special events. As mentioned earlier, according to many online comments, the property is not receptive to public visitation these days, preferring only professional clients. The motel property has been featured in countless productions, including "The House Bunny" and "Drive" (interiors only), as well as the TV shows "Westworld," "Dexter" and "The O.C."
The gang tries to secure sponsorship from Patio Town. This was filmed at the back entrance of an actual patio store in Studio City.
The girls celebrate securing sponsorship by grabbing some burgers at Foster's Freeze. The same location was used in "Pulp Fiction," whenever Butch crosses paths with Marsellus and gets into a car collision.

In the 2012 comedy "This Is 40," a spin-off of "Knocked Up," the story follows the life of a married couple, Pete and Debbie, played by Paul Rudd and Leslie Mann. The same house was used for the couple in both films and can be found in the Brentwood neighborhood of Los Angeles, California. The property is gated, with a long wall running along the front, so visibility is difficult. From the right angle, however, it can still be seen.

The 2012 Steven Soderbergh film "Magic Mike" depicts the behind the scenes life of a stripper played by Channing Tatum, loosely based on the actor's own experiences in the world of male stripping.
The film was shot mostly in the Tampa, Florida area. The group performs at Club Xquisite, where they are led by Dallas (Matthew McConaughey). The club was actually a composite of two separate buildings. The exterior was filmed at Wilson's Sports Lounge in St. Petersburg.
LOCATION: 3030 4th St N, St. Petersburg, FL 33704
The interiors were filmed across the country at the former Platinum Live in Studio City, California (11345 Ventura Blvd, Studio City, CA 91604), which shut down not long after the film was shot.

While set in Philadelphia, the house from the TV series "Boy Meets World" can actually be found in Studio City, California. The house is obscured by a lot of greens and overgrowth along fencing surrounding the property and it's not easily visible from the street. This is the view if you make your way up to the front gate.
LOCATION: 4196 Colfax Ave, Studio City, CA 91604
The high school seen in the show is John Marshall High School. A regular location in film and television, it has also appeared in such movies as "Rebel Without A Cause," "A Nightmare On Elm Street," "Pretty In Pink," "Buffy the Vampire Slayer," "Bachelor Party," "Grosse Pointe Blank," "Grease" and "Raiders of the Lost Ark," as well as such TV shows as "Growing Pains," "Boston Public" and many more.

Catch Me If You Can (2002)
May 23, 2018 January 8, 2023 / filmoblivion / Leave a comment
In Steven Spielberg's "Catch Me If You Can," Frank Abagnale Jr., played by Leonardo DiCaprio, lives at this home early in the film. Supposedly located in New York, the real home can be found in Studio City, California. It is located next door to the house from "My Stepmother Is An Alien."
LOCATION: 12075 Valleyheart Dr, Studio City, CA 91604
Frank and his family are forced to move into a smaller apartment at this building, which can be found in Yonkers, New York.
LOCATION: 110 Buena Vista Ave, Yonkers, NY 10701
Frank Abagnale Sr, played by Christopher Walken, reads a letter from his son as he walks into the Abagnale Stationers store, which can be found in San Pedro.
LOCATION: 421 W 6th St, San Pedro, CA 90731
After posing as an airline pilot, Frank begins forging payroll checks at the former Ambassador Hotel. The hotel was a staple of film and television, appearing in such films as "The Graduate," "Forrest Gump," "Seven," "Bobby," "True Lies," "L.A. Story," "True Romance," "The Mask" and dozens more. The hotel has since been demolished, with only this post and statue from the original building remaining.
LOCATION: 3400 Wilshire Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90010 (now demolished)
Carl, played by Tom Hanks, is on the hunt for Frank, who stays at the Tropicana Motel in Hollywood. While the Tropicana was a real motel at one time, it was demolished in 1988. Instead, the Hollywood Roosevelt was used. It's actually the rear of the Roosevelt building that is seen in the film.
LOCATION: 7000 Hollywood Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90028 (rear of the building on Hawthorn Ave)
Carl eats at a diner, where a waitress tips him off that the alias Frank has been using is the name of "The Flash" in the comic books, cluing him in that his suspect may be younger than he originally thought.
This was filmed at the former Quality Cafe in downtown Los Angeles. The diner was a one-time staple of films, appearing in "Seven" "Training Day," "Ghost World," "Another Day In Paradise," "(500) Days Of Summer" "Million Dollar Baby," "What's Love Got To Do With It," "The Heartbreak Kid" and dozens more. However, it was not an actual restaurant open to the public. Instead it was used solely for filming. Sadly, it ceased to function as a filming location and was completely renovated in 2014. The interior of the property no longer bears any resemblance inside to how it appeared in so many films.
LOCATION: 1238 W 7th St, Los Angeles, CA 90017 (since closed and remodeled)
The Miami Airport where Frank slips past the FBI by surrounding himself with attractive flight attendants was actually filmed at the Ontario Airport in Ontario, California. This particular terminal is not in active use and has popped up in countless other films, including "Saving Mr. Banks," "Zodiac," "Blow," "Argo" and many more.
LOCATION: 1940 Moore Way, Ontario, CA 91761
Another view of the same airport, depicted as the baggage claim terminal in the film.
Later in the film, Frank takes his father to an upscale restaurant, where he tells him he bought him a Cadillac. The actual location is not a restaurant at all. It's the famous "Pompeian Room" of the Doheny Mansion, located on the campus of Mount Saint Mary's University in Los Angeles. While the mansion does offer occasional tours to the public, some of the guides can be strict about allowing photos inside. Many films have shot at the mansion, including "The Princess Diaries," "Drag Me To Hell," "Flowers In The Attic," "Spider-Man 3," "The Three Amigos" and more.
LOCATION: 10 Chester Pl, Los Angeles, CA 90007
The bank scenes were filmed at Union Station, a train station in downtown Los Angeles. It has featured in many films as well, such as "Blade Runner," "The Dark Knight Rises," "Species," "Bugsy," "Pearl Harbor" and more.
LOCATION: 800 N Alameda St, Los Angeles, CA 90012
Frank strikes up a romance with Brenda, played by Amy Adams, who brings him to the house of her father, played by Martin Sheen. Frank has to make an abrupt departure with the FBI hot on his heels. The house used in the film can be found in Pasadena. The address is on E Crary St, but the back of the house faces that direction and the perimeter is surrounded by a wall, so you won't see much from there. The front side of the house is actually around the block on Layton St, which dead-ends into the driveway of the home. The same house has also been seen in the films "Matilda," "Hocus Pocus" and "Scream 2." Unfortunately, the property owners have since posted no trespassing signs near the end of Ladyton St, making it much more difficult for pedestrians to see the house anymore.
LOCATION: 2186 E Crary St, Pasadena, CA 91104 (front of the home faces Ladyton St)
Frank is arrested in front of his mother's house, which can be found in Pasadena. The same location appears in the film "Disturbia."
LOCATION: 3077 E California Blvd, Pasadena, CA 91107
Late in the film, Frank passes this store and stops as he sees a pilot's uniform on display. This can be found just a few buildings up from the Abagnale Stationers store seen early in the film.

Q: Unix string splitting issue While searching for a unix problem, I came across the following string splitting regular expression statement:
 string="abc@hotmail.com;xyz@gmail.com;uvw@yahoo.com"
    str1=${string%%;*}
    str2=${string##*;}

    Result:
    str1=abc@hotmail.com
    str2=uvw@yahoo.com

I did not understand the second expression(str2).
Can please someone help.
Thanks

A: From the bash manual, under Parameter Expansion:
   ${parameter#word}
   ${parameter##word}
          The word is expanded to produce a pattern just as in pathname expansion.  If the pattern matches  the  beginning  of  the
          value  of  parameter, then the result of the expansion is the expanded value of parameter with the shortest matching pat-
          tern (the ``#'' case) or the longest matching pattern (the ``##'' case) deleted.  If parameter is @  or  *,  the  pattern
          removal operation is applied to each positional parameter in turn, and the expansion is the resultant list.  If parameter
          is an array variable subscripted with @ or *, the pattern removal operation is applied to each member  of  the  array  in
          turn, and the expansion is the resultant list.

   ${parameter%word}
   ${parameter%%word}
          The  word  is  expanded to produce a pattern just as in pathname expansion.  If the pattern matches a trailing portion of
          the expanded value of parameter, then the result of the expansion is the expanded value of parameter  with  the  shortest
          matching pattern (the ``%'' case) or the longest matching pattern (the ``%%'' case) deleted.  If parameter is @ or *, the
          pattern removal operation is applied to each positional parameter in turn, and the expansion is the resultant  list.   If
          parameter  is  an  array variable subscripted with @ or *, the pattern removal operation is applied to each member of the
          array in turn, and the expansion is the resultant list.

7th Rangers: ASIA BIBI IS FREE!
Pakistani Christian Asia Bibi (Aasiya Noreen) was convicted of violating Sharia blasphemy laws after drinking out of a bucket used by Muslims. Bibi was sentenced to death. After spending eight years on death row, the Supreme Court of Pakistan overturned the conviction. Due to ongoing threats of violence, Bibi and her family must now seek asylum outside of Pakistan.
Until one sweltering day in 2009, Asia Bibi led a simple life with her husband and children in rural Pakistan. Hers was one of only three Christian families in her village but they'd never had much trouble from Muslim neighbors, relatives say.
"She was an innocent, loving and caring ordinary woman," said Bibi's brother-in-law, Joseph Nadeem. "She and her husband both were farm workers. They had five kids and a happy life." Then, a dispute over a cup of water with fellow field labourers led to Bibi being sentenced to death for blasphemy against Islam. She spent eight years on death row before Pakistan's Supreme Court overturned her conviction this week and ordered her freed.

Q: How to make a ProgressBar stay in the center of screen despite scrolling I have a ProgressBar in a ScrollView, and I'd like it to stay centered vertically despite the user scrolling down or up. However, I'm not sure how to accomplish this.
Here's the code that I have, simple as it is. I have an indeterminate ProgressBar:
<ScrollView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="@+id/ocr_scroll_view"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent">

    <RelativeLayout android:id="@+id/image_holder"
    android:layout_gravity="end"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content" >

        <ImageView android:id="@+id/image"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content" />

        <ProgressBar android:id="@+id/progressBar1"
        style="?android:attr/progressBarStyleLarge"
        android:visibility="gone"
        android:layout_centerInParent="true"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content" />

And I call it as such:
    spinningProgressBar = (ProgressBar)findViewById(R.id.progressBar1);
    spinningProgressBar.setIndeterminate(true);
    spinningProgressBar.setVisibility(View.GONE);

Setting its visibility at the appropriate times.
All suggestions very much appreciated.

A: You need the ScrollView to be at same level as ProgressDialog in your Layout.
Here it is in concept:
<RelativeLayout>
    <ProgressDialog>
    <ScrollView>
<RelativeLayout>

A: Put it outside of the ScrollView. Just have the ScrollView and the ProgressBar overlap.
You can read about how to overlap views here: Overlapping Views in Android
There's a couple of ways to do it, ranging from GridLayouts to RelativeLayouts and then programatic ways to do it.

A: you can insert this into the scrollview tag
android:fillViewport="true"

Holy sites News Report Palestine
Call to Pope Francis for Passover Week: 'Palestine Wants Justice'
Palestinian Christians carried a bold message as part of the annual Palm Sunday procession from the Mount of Olives to the Old City in East Jerusalem, this year. The parishes of various Palestinian villages carried banners reading: 'Pope Francis: Palestine Wants Justice.' The pontiff will be visiting the Holy Land next month, the AIC reports, and those who have kept the faith in the land where Christianity was born are calling on the Pope to make a strong stand with those struggling under Israeli occupation.
Similar protests were made during last year's Easter season, since Palestinian worshipers from West Bank villages must get special permission to enter Jerusalem at any time. Though many more permits are granted during religious seasons such as Easter, Christmas, or Ramadan, thousands of the faithful are still denied access to their holy sites.
Editor's note: Israel effectively annexed East Jerusalem after the 1967 war, resulting in the illegal confiscation of UN-recognized Palestinian territories, including Gaza and the West Bank. The international community, as a whole, never recognized the legality of the move and considers East Jerusalem, including the Mount of Olives and the Old City, to be occupied Palestinian territory.
Last week, leaders of Jerusalem's Christian community released a statement denouncing denial of access to holy sites:
The mobility of worshipers inside the Old City of Jerusalem gets restricted, and checkpoints are put at the gates and in the alleys — thus preventing the worshipers from free access to the Via Dolorosa, the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, and the vicinity of the Christian Quarter.
The restrictive measures constitute a grave violation on the freedom of worship, and amount to discrimination against Christians because the occupation authorities want to negate Christian presence and create the impression of a Jewish-only city.
The measures taken by the occupying power have been escalating in recent years, and are meant to deny Christian and Muslim presence in East Jerusalem.
Due to such measures, the faithful are unable to worship freely and to be with their families and friends during such a special occasion. The restrictions began first in 2005, and are in fact unnecessary; politically and racially motivated.

Q: PowerShell Script to play video with Windows Media Player I have a requirement to run a video via windows Media Player. And also track the duration it play.
Suppose I close the video in 5 Sec it should give the duration 5. The below is the script I wrote. But there is problem with this. As the video do not launch nor I am able to the application getting launched . I am only able to here the audio.
Add-Type -AssemblyName presentationCore
 $filepath = [uri] "C:\Temp\test\Wildlife.wmv"
  $wmplayer = New-Object System.Windows.Media.MediaPlayer
 $wmplayer.Open($filepath)
 Start-Sleep 2 # This allows the $wmplayer time to load the audio file
 $duration = $wmplayer.NaturalDuration.TimeSpan.Seconds
 $wmplayer.Play()
 Start-Sleep $duration
 $wmplayer.Stop()
 $wmplayer.Close()
 Write-Host $duration

Please help...
Regards,
Suman Rout

A: You need to be creating a form that shows up, then creating a VideoDrawing, then a DrawingBrush, and then applying it as the background of some portion of the form.  From my understanding, MediaElement is easier to use - but regardless you're not starting media player here, you're using Windows Media objects without creating a form to display them on.
If you merely mean to open the video and close it, try launching the Windows Media Player application instead.  I used your code and did something like maybe you're intending:
Add-Type -AssemblyName presentationCore
$filepath = "C:\Temp\test\Wildlife.wmv"

#Here we use your code to get the duration of the video
$wmplayer = New-Object System.Windows.Media.MediaPlayer
$wmplayer.Open($filepath)
Start-Sleep 2
$duration = $wmplayer.NaturalDuration.TimeSpan.Seconds
$wmplayer.Close()

#Here we just open media player and play the file, with an extra second for it to start playing
$proc = Start-process -FilePath wmplayer.exe -ArgumentList $filepath -PassThru
Start-Sleep ($duration + 1)

#Here we kill the media player
Stop-Process $proc.Id -force

Let's begin with a hypothetical – your IT department has just been tasked with a time-sensitive project but you're short on staff and you have limited budget. What do you do? Despite this being a hypothetical, this scenario is playing itself out across the nation – and even the world – on a daily basis. Smart managers will know just who to call (no, it's not the Ghostbuster's), it's your trusted IT staffing partners! Companies who are experts when it comes to finding, evaluating, and matching job seekers with employers needs on a daily basis.
While it's true that using a staffing firm isn't the right choice for every business, the ones who are able to utilize them find their services to be truly invaluable. Below, we have outlined just a few of the many benefits employers can expect when working with a staffing firm.
Low Overhead – Making a full-time hire can be a costly venture. By choosing the correct staffing firm to contract with, however, an employer can bypass this risk to augment their staff. Staffing firms, such as PSCI, will handle all the benefits associated with the candidate they hire including taxes, payroll, workers compensation and other benefits. PSCI actually takes it even one step further by offering a 401k match! So in lieu of paying an employee a salary plus benefits, you're only on the hook for an hourly rate.
As an added benefit of partnering with a staffing firm, you also save your company money by not having to advertise on sites such as Careerbuilder, Monster or LinkedIn. You send your trusted staffing partner the job requirements and they'll handle the rest.
Quicker Hires – Not only is making a full-time hire expensive but it also takes time. According to research performed by Glassdoor, the average interview process takes 23 days. And that's only the interview process! That doesn't take into account the amount of time it takes to find the right candidates to interview.
By utilizing the services of a trusted staffing partner, however, managers don't have to spend time sifting through hundreds of resumes, reaching out to job seekers, and scheduling interviews. They can instead focus more of their time on the needs of their team and department.
Hearing this, you may be asking yourselves, how are staffing agencies able to accomplish this task? Well, in PSCI's case, the answer is through the day-to-day task of reaching out to candidates and keeping an extensive database full of "warm" leads. That allows us to produce a candidate on short notice without having to start our search from scratch – although that may happen from time-to-time, we can assure you we know just where to look!
Trial Runs – As we've already covered, making a full-time hire can prove to be a risky venture that not only takes time but also costs a lot of money. But here-in lies the beauty of partnering with a staffing firm – instead of making a costly full-time hire and risking the employee not working out, you can take a "trial run" with the employee on a contract-to-hire basis. Not only is this option less risky for the employer, but it also allows them to see firsthand if the employee is able to handle the workload as well as if they're the right culture fit. Then, once the contract is up, and assuming there's still interest, it should be an easy transition to convert the contractor into a full-time employee.
So when you partner with a trusted staffing firm, like PSCI, it's a win-win-win scenario. You'll be saving yourself time, money, and the stress that comes along with full-time hires.
But we know we may not have covered it all and may have missed some things. What other benefits can employers expect to reap by partnering with a staffing firm?


Imagine there is a Bank that credits your account every morning with $86,400.
However, it carries over no balance from day to day and every night the bank deletes whatever part of the balance you failed to use during the day.
Every morning, it credits you with 86,400 seconds. Every night it writes off, as lost, whatever of this you have failed to invest to good purpose. It carries over no balance and it allows no overdraft.
Each day it opens a new account for you. Each night it burns the remains of the day. If you fail to use the day's deposits, the loss is yours.
There is no going back. There is no drawing against the "tomorrow." You must live in the present solely on today's deposits. So invest it wisely each day to get from it the utmost in health, happiness, and success!

Friends are very rare jewels indeed.
They make you smile and encourage you to succeed. They lend an ear, they share a word of praise, and they always want to open their heart to us.
Show your friends how much you care. Send this to everyone you consider a FRIEND. If it comes back to you from someone else, then you'll know you have a CIRCLE OF FRIENDS.


Hurricane Florence, a Category 4 storm, "is expected to be an extremely risky major hurricane through Thursday night" and has triggered a hurricane watch for all of North Carolina and part of SC, according to the National Hurricane Center. Hurricane watch zone is shaded in pink.
People across the region rushed to buy bottled water and other supplies, board up their homes, pull their boats out of the water and get out of town. Forecast models suggest that more than two feet of rain could fall over the higher elevations of the Carolinas and Virginia, which would generate risky flooding downstream. In other words, this hurricane will basically stall - pounding the same parts of the Carolinas over and over again.
The National Hurricane Center says a new report from an Air Force Reserve Unit hurricane hunter aircraft indicates that Hurricane Florence's top sustained winds have decreased slightly to 130 miles per hour, with higher gusts.
In coastal areas of the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic, heavy surf and elevated water levels are expected to arrive by Wednesday morning, and rainfall could begin by Thursday morning. "We all share the same goal and that is to take care of the citizens of Stokes County and protect as much personal property as possible". "Further strengthening is anticipated, and Florence is expected to be an extremely risky major hurricane through Thursday", the NHC warned.
The hurricane center warned that the life-threatening dangers associated with the storm were three-fold: first, life-threatening storm surge along the coast, followed by freshwater flooding both along the coast and further inland due to "a prolonged and exceptionally heavy rainfall event", and damaging hurricane-force winds.
Watches were already in effect Tuesday for a storm surge that could reach up to 12 feet at high tide on a stretch from Cape Fear to Cape Lookout in North Carolina, forecasters said. It could reasonably occur anywhere between the mountains and the coast.
U.S. President Donald Trump on Tuesday signed declarations of emergency for North Carolina, South Carolina and Virginia, freeing up federal resources for storm response. Heavy winds are likely. "We are sharing information with local officials so they can prepare".
But while wind speed offers an easily quantifiable way to rate unsafe storms, forecasters are warning people not to fixate on that, saying that saltwater from the storm surge and freshwater from heavy rains pose a serious threat, no matter what the top winds are when the hurricane makes landfall.
From the livestock industry, one environmental impact from the storm could be from the lagoons, or lined earthen pits, that hold treated manure. Inland areas may be somewhat spared in this scenario. But that part of the East Coast rarely sees any major hurricanes. No hurricane has made landfall as a Category 5 in this region on record.


Alexandru Mihai Grumezescu » Ocinum basilicum and Mentha piperita essential oils influence the antimicrobial susceptibility ofStaphylococcus aureus strains.
Alexandru Mihai Grumezescu, Carmen Mariana Chifiriuc, Ioana Marinas, Crina Saviuc, Dan Mihaiescu, Veronica Lazar, Ocinum basilicum and Mentha piperita essential oils influence the antimicrobial susceptibility ofStaphylococcus aureus strains. Letters in Applied NanoBioScience, 1(1):14-17, 2012.
Essential oils extracted by microwave assisted hydrodistillation technique from Ocinum basilicum and Mentha piperita were characterized by GC-MS. An adapted diffusion method was used in order to assess the potentiator effect of the essential oils on the susceptibility of Staphylococcus aureus clinical and reference strains to some of the currently used antibiotics, i.e. clindamycin, ciprofloxacin, tetracycline, gentamicin, penicillin and erythromycin.. The Ocimum basilicum and Mentha piperita essential oils, exhibited a strong, strain specific influence on the antibiotic susceptibility of the tested strains.


After years of study and evaluation, the current plan, as envisioned by Israel, Jordan and the Palestinian Authority, is to construct a 112-mile (180 km) partially covered pipeline across the Wadi Araba (Arava), a desert region between Israel and Jordan that stretches from the Gulf of Aqaba in the south to the Dead Sea in the north. The canal would likely straddle the Israeli-Jordanian border, but remain almost entirely on Jordanian territory. Because of the Wadi Araba's hilly terrain, water traveling through the pipeline would initially have to be pumped between 500 and 550 feet (150 meters) upward before dropping 1,900 feet (600 meters) via natural elevation decline on its way to the Dead Sea.
Theoretically, enough Red Sea water flowing into the Dead Sea could restore most of its water level over time. Moreover, hydroelectricity generated from the water coursing down the gradient would power a large desalination plant. Potable freshwater could then be delivered to urban areas, such as Jordan's capital Amman, to relieve existing shortages. In addition, the canal's supporters argue that construction could spark more joint Israeli-Jordanian-Palestinian tourism and development projects in the Wadi Araba region.
His Majesty King Abdullah will today inaugurate the 4th Petra Conference of Nobel Laureates, where participants will share their insight into pressing issues in the economic, scientific and cultural fields. The event attracts this year the participation of some 280 personalities, including 30 Nobel Prize winners.
King Abdullah will also deliver a speech at the inauguration of the event, which will witness the official launch of a $10 million Middle East Science Fund.
Among the participants this year are Senegalese President Abdoulaye Wade, Arab League Secretary General Amr Musa and Tibetan spiritual leader the Dalai Lama. Nobel Prize winners taking part in the event come from the US, UK, Germany, Taiwan, Canada, Israel and the Netherlands.
The fund, which will be based in Jordan, will operate under the umbrella of the KAFD, in cooperation with the US-based Elie Wiesel Foundation. The Petra conference is organised by both organisations.
Participants will also discuss the global finance crisis, food security, bridging the gap between the advanced and developing countries, and challenges facing them, in addition to issues of development and youth, the attendees will also consider the best learning and teaching strategies which are already being implemented in education worldwide.

So much of the Giants' temporary stay at the Yale Bowl was unmemorable. Yet the players have a hard time forgetting their 26-20 overtime loss to the rival Jets on Nov. 10, 1974, as one play encapsulated the frustration of those two dismal seasons.
Yes, gimpy-kneed Broadway Joe, who hadn't scored a rushing touchdown in five years, faked a handoff to Emerson Boozer, rolled to his left and limped in untouched from the 3 to tie it at 20 with eight minutes left in the fourth quarter.
Namath then threw the winning 5-yard touchdown pass to Boozer 6 minutes, 53 seconds into the extra period as the Jets won the first NFL regular-season game decided in overtime.
Namath, who completed 20 of 34 passes for 236 yards, and Giants counterpart Craig Morton, who connected on 21 of 32 passes for 237 yards and two touchdowns in his first home start after being acquired from the Cowboys two weeks earlier, starred in the passers' duel.
But it was Namath's bootleg call that made the difference.
Namath later said he kept his plans to himself, telling neither the coaching staff nor his running back that he would keep the football. Cornerback Eldridge Small was the closest Giant to Namath as he crossed the goal line, futilely racing from the left with free safety Spider Lockhart trying to close the gap from the other side.
As he scored, Namath, known for his fragile knees, raised one hand and waved off the defenders, warning them not to hit him. Astonishingly, both pulled up.
"The last thing you expect Joe Namath to do is keep the ball on a bootleg," running back Steve Crosby said.
Actually, both teams had chances to win before Namath sealed the victory in overtime.
Kelley dived to his right at the goal line to deflect the ball away from Jerome Barkum on a third-and-5 from the Giants' 12 and Jim Stienke blocked Pat Leahy's field-goal attempt with 16 seconds left in regulation.
In overtime, the Giants' Pete Gogolak missed a 42-yard attempt wide left, though the kicker argued both on the field and after the game that the football had gone inside the upright.
"It was the level of frustration of close, but not close enough," Hughes said.
The Giants were coming off a 33-27 win at Kansas City the previous week, but the loss to the Jets started a season-ending six-game slide that left them at 2-12.

Liga MX Power Rankings: Leon continue dominance, Tigres tumble after Azteca loss
Nine straight wins from Leon have turned the Clausura into a spectacular race at the top. Despite their 29 points, they're only three above Tigres, who tripped up at the Azteca on Saturday. Leon's dominance is doubly impressive considering their mid-market payroll. That's precisely why, this week, we'll look at every team's total squad market value (according to Transfermarkt) to determine whether they're over or underperforming in the Clausura 2019.
Previous rankings: Week 11 | Week 10 Week 9 | Week 8 | Week 7 | Week 6 | Week 5 | Week 4 | Week 3 | Week 2
Total squad value: $33.86 million. Los Esmeraldas rank as Mexico's 11th most expensive team, which, as mentioned, makes their impressive streak even gaudier. Led by the tournament's top goal scorer Angel Mena ($2.28 million) and goalkeeper Rodolfo Cota ($2.62 million), the team has vaulted into a contender for the title this season.
2. CLUB AMERICA
Total squad value: $83.68 million. Defensive midfielder Edson Alvarez ($8.55 million) is in line to become Mexico's latest European export, if statements made by his coach are to be believed. Just a few months after Diego Lainez made an eight-figure transfer to the Spanish league, Alvarez will be bolstered by a strong performance this season, including his role in the 3-0 win on Saturday versus UANL Tigres.
3. NECAXA
Total squad value: $29.53 million. Another team with a tiny payroll making a big splash this season. Winger Brian Fernandez ($2.28 million) has been an utter steal for the Hidrorrayos, scoring 14 goals in 26 games dating back to the Apertura 2018. With their recent surge, Necaxa sits fifth in the league, just two points off third place.
4. PACHUCA
Total squad value: $57.46 million. Though offers from European clubs have cooled somewhat, offensive centerpiece Victor Guzman ($8.55 million) remains a big part of why Los Tuzos have been successful this season. Their 3-2 win over Toluca has pushed them into playoff contention with 20 points on the season.
5. MONTERREY
Total squad value: $92.91 million. By far, Los Rayados boast the league's highest market value. Due to their inflated payroll, expectations reign high in Monterrey, and their third-place standing at the moment gives them a good chance to make a run for the title. Notwithstanding, their latest result, a 2-2 draw against Cruz Azul was disappointing.
6. CRUZ AZUL
Total squad value: $59.62 million. After a disappointing start to the season, Cruz Azul has rebounded in a major way, winning three of their last five. Usually reliant on big foreign talent, it bears noting that the three players with the largest economic worth on Cruz Azul's team are Mexican: Orbelin Pineda ($8.55 million), Roberto Alvarado ($5.70 million) and Elias Hernandez ($3.99 million).
7. TIGRES UANL
Total squad value: $81.74 million. Always among Mexico's most expensive payrolls, Tigres' top three players in that regard (Carlos Salcedo, Guido Pizarro, Javier Aquino) dwarfs two entire teams (Veracruz, Morelia). That should provide some comfort for a quick upswing after their 3-0 drubbing at the Estadio Azteca.
8. PUMAS UNAM
Total squad value: $36.82 million. On Sunday against Chivas, Pumas picked up their first victory since February, keeping whatever faint hopes of a playoff run alive. Under Bruno Marioni, the team has shown more fight, but results have been middling at best.
9. SANTOS LAGUNA
Total squad value: $54.38 million. Despite having a deep roster, Santos is seemingly fixated on winning the CONCACAF Champions League ahead of the Liga MX this season. Their showdown against Tigres in the continental semifinals is highly anticipated -- in their last four winner-take-all meetings, Santos has eliminated UANL every time.
10. ATLAS
Total squad value: $31.07 million. Atlas' most expensive player is defender Omar Gonzalez ($2.28 million), a solid performer since coming over from Pachuca. Two of the next six players on that list are injured, a good reason why the Guadalajara club has struggled mightily in the Clausura 2019 thus far.

11. CHIVAS
Total squad value: $45.49 million. Despite a payroll in the top half, Chivas' season has been an absolute disaster from the start. Jose Cardozo has been fired after a string of disappointing results against rival teams, and Alberto Coyote will have a short time to turn things around for a potential playoff run in what's left of this season.
12. TOLUCA
Total squad value: $36.71 million. Faced with a rebuild following a pair of playoff appearances in 2018, Toluca's Clausura 2019 season has been riddled with inconsistency and disappointing results in the domestic league as well as the CONCACAF Champions League. Amazingly, they're still just five points off the playoff pace with five games remaining.
13. PUEBLA
Total squad value: $29.71 million. Only three teams have a higher total market value than Puebla, which makes their performance this season a surprise. Under new coach Jose Luis Sanchez, Los Camoteros have been nearly unbeatable. The team has lost just once in last seven games with "Chelis".
14. QUERETARO
Total squad value: $34.77 million. 18-year-old attacking midfielder Marcel Ruiz has seen his value skyrocket after a great rookie year ($4.56 million). However, the team has been slow to react after a horrid start that saw manager Rafael Puente fired early on. In their last five games, Los Gallos have gained seven points... for a total of seven points on the season.
15. CLUB TIJUANA
Total squad value: $33.40 million. Still alive in the Liga MX and the Copa MX, Tijuana is on a shortlist of clubs that can aspire to a double this season. Whether that's realistic or not, it's impressive to see such a quick turnaround with manager Oscar Pareja despite inheriting basically the same roster as seasons past.
Total squad value: $25.42 million. Only two players on their squad are judged to be worth over $2 million (Aldo Rocha and Sebastian Ferreira). Filling out the team are several bit players who have underperformed throughout the entire season.
17. LOBOS BUAP
Total squad value: $23.14 million. The specter of relegation long gone, Lobos' form has relaxed over the last few games, as evidenced by their crushing 4-0 defeat to Puebla in their local derby on Sunday. However, it behooves manager Francisco Palencia to get his team back to winning, as they'll be in the relegation fight again next season.
18. VERACRUZ
Total squad value: $23.26 million. The league's (second) cheapest payroll never stood a chance. Twelve matches in, Los Tiburones have still not won a single game, and can only stay up with a sizable payment to the rest of the league's owners.

Sam Houston wins 18th straight, rolls past Tarleton 45-27
Oct 30, 2021, 7:46 AM | Updated: 7:52 pm
STEPHENVILLE, Texas (AP) — Eric Schmid threw five touchdown passes to lead FCS top-ranked Sam Houston to a 45-27 victory over Tarleton on Saturday night.
It was the 18th-straight win for Sam Houston (7-0, 5-0 ASUN-Western Athletic Conference) dating to the 2019 season, the longest current streak in Division I. The Bearkats have also won a record 17 games in the 2021 calendar year, surpassing Yale (1894, 1889), Chicago (1899), and North Dakota State (2019).
Schmid was 25-of-37 passing for 298 yards, with three touchdown passes going to Ife Adeyi and one each to Noah Smith and Chandler Harvin.
Cody Chrest had nine catches for 137 yards for the Bearkats. Ramon Jefferson added 179 yards on the ground on 23 carries.
Chrest's 43-yard diving catch set up Schmid's 26-yard touchdown pass to Harvin on the next play, and the Bearkats stretched their lead to 38-14 late in the third quarter.
Steven Duncan completed 25 of 43 passes for 403 yards and threw three touchdown passes to lead Tarleton (4-4, 0-1).
It was the Bearkats' first game in Stephenville since 1975.

Q: How to get position of edge weights in a networkx graph? Currently there is a function in networkx library for getting positions of all nodes: spring_layout. Quoting from the docs, it returns:

dict :
A dictionary of positions keyed by node

And can be used as:
G=nx.path_graph(4)
pos = nx.spring_layout(G)

I would like something similar to access the position of an edge-weight for a weighted graph. It should return the position of where the number for edge-weight would be placed, preferably at the center of the edge and just above the edge. (By above, I mean "outside" the graph, so for a horizontally-placed square graph's bottom-most edge, it would be just below the edge).
So the question is, is there anything in-built similar to spring_layout for achieving this? And if not, how to go about it yourself?

A: You can use nx.draw_edge_labels which returns a dictionary with edges as keys and (x, y, label) as values
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import networkx as nx

# Create a graph
G = nx.path_graph(10)

# Add 2 egdes with labels
G.add_edge(0, 8, name='n1')
G.add_edge(2, 7, name='n2')

# Get the layout
pos = nx.spring_layout(G)

# Draw the graph
nx.draw(G, pos=pos)

# Draw the edge labels
edge_labels = nx.draw_networkx_edge_labels(G, pos)

.
Now you can see the variables edge_labels
print(edge_labels)
# {(0, 1): Text(0.436919941201627, -0.2110471432994752, '{}'),
#  (0, 8): Text(0.56941037628304, 0.08059107891826373, "{'name': 'n1'}"),
#  (1, 2): Text(0.12712625526483384, -0.2901338796021985, '{}'),
#  (2, 3): Text(-0.28017240645783603, -0.2947104829441387, '{}'),
#  (2, 7): Text(0.007024254096114596, -0.029867791669433513, "{'name': 'n2'}"),
#  (3, 4): Text(-0.6680363649371021, -0.26708812849092933, '{}'),
#  (4, 5): Text(-0.8016944207643129, -0.0029986274715349814, '{}'),
#  (5, 6): Text(-0.5673817462107436, 0.23808073918504968, '{}'),
#  (6, 7): Text(-0.1465270298295821, 0.23883392944036055, '{}'),

Now to get the position of say, edge (2,7), you just need to do
print(edge_labels[(2,7)].get_position())
# Output: (0.007024254096114596, -0.029867791669433513)

You can read more about the documentation here.
If you want to extract the x,y coordinates of all the edges, you can try this:
edge_label_pos = { k: v.get_position()
                  for k, v in edge_labels.items()}

Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee president Avtar Singh Makkar said that religious committee is ready to face any situation in Haryana and would not tolerate any attempt by anyone to take over the charge of gurdwaras in Haryana.
Speaking to media persons after presiding over function at Mata Gujri College, Fatehgarh Sahib Makkar said some Haryana Sikh leaders had issued statements that that they would take control of the gurdwaras in the state on September 15 and set up a separate organisation to run these. Makkar warned them and said the SGPC would oppose any such move at all costs. He alleged that Haryana government was trying to divide the Sikhs in the state and suppress their voice. The party was doing so to garner Sikh votes in Haryana, he added.
Makkar said last year some supporters of the Jhinda group had tried to take over the Chhevin Patshahi Gurdwara in Kurukshetra, following which an FIR had been registered, but no action had been taken so far. He said Haryana Congress leaders had also assured that they would not allow the forcible takeover of gurdwaras by those demanding a separate SGPC.
Makkar said that he held meeting with Haryana Sikhs at various places.
Makkar presided over a seminar on SGPC-Cambridge Scholarship and higher education at Cambridge University at Mata Gujri College, Fatehgarh Sahib. The seminar was organized by the Directorate of Education, SGPC in which Dr Indi Seera, Director (H.R.), Cambridge University, U.K was the key speaker. Dr Seera was honoured by Makkar and SGPC Director Eduction Dr Gurmohan Singh Walia. SGPC secretary Joginder Singh and Mata Gujri College principal Dr J.S. Sidhu was also present on the occasion.
