We continued ''The Making of Harry Potter'' tour at the Warner Bros. Studio by making our way through ''The Big Room'', which features models, props, stage sets, wardrobes, and other items from the Harry Potter films.
The Order of the Phoenix exhibit featured clothing worn by various members of the Order. Shown here are outfits worn by Ron Weasley (played by actor Rupert Grint) and Harry Potter (played by actor Daniel Radcliffe). A few details from the informational placard that accompanied the display:
The Order of the Phoenix
As Lord Voldemort and his Death Eaters rose to power, they found strong opposition in the Order of the Phoenix – The legendary secret organization founded by Dumbledore. Comprised of highly skilled wizards, the Order resisted the Dark Lord during his first reign of terror, and then fought alongside Hogwarts students and professors during the epic battle of Hogwarts in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2.
'''It's a secret society,'' said Hermione quickly. ''Dumbledore's in charge, he founded it. It's the people who fought against You-Know-Who last time.''' – J.K. Rowling, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix

Physical characteristics
Spotted Flycatchers lack any striking features. They are grey-brown in colour with an off-white breast, streaked with darker grey and a streaked forehead. Young birds are very spotted with pale brown on the back and head. Spotted Flycatchers have a thin, squeaky song and call which is distinctive but not very noticeable.
Habitat
Almost throughout west Palearctic, from Mediterranean and steppe through temperate and boreal to edge of Arctic zone. Absent, however, from open areas devoid of trees and bushes and from densely forested, arid or exposed mountainous areas, although breeding freely up to 900 m and sporadically to 1500 m. Dependent on availability of raised perches, especially in such deciduous trees as beech, oak, and chestnut, and lesser extent conifers such as pine and larch. Requires ample accessible space for catching flying insects present at adequate density, and accordingly has adapted readily to avenues, parks, gardens, orchards, and other man-made habitats.
Other details
Muscicapa striata is a widespread summer visitor to Europe, which accounts for less than half of its global breeding range. Its European breeding population is extremely large (>14,000,000 pairs), but underwent a moderate decline between 1970-1990. Although there were declines in a small number of countries during 1990-2000, the species was stable or increased across most of its European range, and declined only slightly overall. Nevertheless, its population has clearly not yet recovered to the level that preceded its initial decline. Consequently, it is evaluated as Depleted
Feeding
When it is colder and the abundance of flying prey is low, they forage high in the tree canopy, hovering by the leaves and moving about in the very top of the trees. On warmer days they feed on flying insects which they catch by pursuit, especially Flies, Aphids, Beetles, Ants, Bees and Wasps. Spotted Flycatchers are rarely seen on the ground but will occasionally hop to pick up food.
Conservation
This species has a large range, with an estimated global Extent of Occurrence of 10,000,000 km². It has a large global population, including an estimated 27,000,000-45,000,000 individuals in Europe (BirdLife International in prep.). Global population trends have not been quantified, but the species is not believed to approach the thresholds for the population decline criterion of the IUCN Red List (i.e. declining more than 30% in ten years or three generations). For these reasons, the species is evaluated as Least Concern. [conservation status from birdlife.org]
Breeding
On natural or artificial ledge, or in niche, requiring firm support below for loosely built nest, good view for incubating bird, and, often, overhang above nest for shelter: on tree-trunk supported by twigs; in creeper or in shallow crevice of tree or wall; on top of flat branch; on top of stacked wood, etc., piled against wall; in old nest of other bird. Spotted Flycatchers will also readily occupy open-fronted nest boxes or other artificial sites. Nest is a loosely built cup of fine twigs, rootlets, dry grass, moss, and lichens, lined with hair, feathers, and fine fibres. One or two clutches of 4-6 (2-7) eggs, some decline in clutch size through season. Incubation period is 12-14 days, tended by female. Young fledge after 12-16 days.
Migration
Long-distance migrant with all races moving to sub-Saharan Africa, majority wintering south of equator. Many birds are still on passage in central Africa, including areas south of equator, in October-November, spending only December-February in southernmost wintering areas. In spring this is one of the latest migrants to return to northern breeding grounds¾early June in extreme cases. Autumn recoveries in Europe and North Africa indicate migratory divide at c. 12°E: birds from Britain, Ireland, and western Europe initially head south-west to SSW through western France and Iberia; birds from central Europe and Fenno-Scandia head SSW to south-east through Italy, Greece, and Aegean. Despite migratory divide, passage through Mediterranean, North Africa, and Sahara on broad front (both seasons), and south European birds presumably head more directly south, with little or no division. Autumn departure begins late July, chiefly from August. Movement through Mediterranean region mid-August to mid-November, chiefly September-October. Reaches East Africa October-November, and South Africa late October to December. Passage north starts late February or March. Passage through North Africa and Mediterranean region chiefly from mid-April, continuing to end of May. First arrivals in northern Europe in mid- or late April, but mainly in May, continuing to end of June.

Y/N? This or Xbox?
PROS Airsoft
1. It's an airsoft gun, so here are some things:
2. This is only 1/3 the price of an Xbox
3. I can play with this **OUTSIDE**, and get EXERCISE and FRESH AIR, rather than being coupe up in the basement
4. Airsoft is WAY more realistic
CONS Airsoft:
1.Can't play everywhere
2. Requires more maintenance
PROS Xbox:
1. I can play games
2. My friends have it and I can play
3. It would be fun to play with friends while sitting on a couch
CONS Xbox:
1. More $$$
2. Only be able to use it 1/2 week (moms/dads house)
3. Can't play all day
4. Not outside, not great for health

The Whirling Dervishes (or those that are not just tourist entertainers) are more correctly called the Mevlevi Order. They are a Sufi order founded in Konya (then the capital of the Anatolian Seljuk Sultanate), by the followers of Jalal ad-Din Muhammad Balkhi-Rumi, a 13th-century Persian poet and theologian.
Participants in a Sama Ceremony are called semazens and the whirling is a form of dhikr - a means of contemplating and focusing the senses on God. In 2005, UNESCO proclaimed the 'Mevlevi Sema Ceremony of Turkey' amongst the 'Masterpieces of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity'.

Found in a box of my old papers, good old British Postal Order for £3, purchased 5th June 1992 @ Clarence Road Post Office, Leighton Buzzard. I can't remember why I bought it, couldn't have been that important though. Is it still worth £3 I wonder?

“During an engagement Major R. W. Hannah, M.C., R.F.A. (Wellington), maintained the ammunition supply and conducted the advance of his battery with the greatest skill and resource. He kept in touch with the infantry, in spite of the difficult state of the ground and intense enemy shelling, and, though wounded he remained on duty. Major Hannah set an example of courage and initiative, which had a splendid effect on his men, and he has been awarded the D.S.O. His war service began in Samoa and later he came to England, obtaining a commission in the R.F.A. in the middle of 1915. He is an old boy of Wellington College, and second son of Mr. Robert Hannah.” [1]

Jonathan Watson in a scene from "Yer Granny", a new comedy by National Theatre of Scotland, directed by Graham McLaren.
I took this at a photo call at the Beacon Arts Centre in Greenock, last week.
The play is based on an Argentinian comedy, 'La Nona' and is about to tour Scotland and Northern Ireland.

here is an "Out of Order" sign that attempts to teach the users something about their machine relationship. In this case, the machine was functioning, but it required an unusual approach to making it work. Why not post that on the sign, instead of this sign? This is more meta-signage, and a more useful lesson perhaps.
The machine in question was a swimsuit drying spinning contraption, in the USC men's locker room.
