St. Patrick's Day is this weekend, and we recently featured Instant Pot Corned Beef, so I wanted to remind you that Slow Cooker Corned Beef is also a delicious option for St. Patrick's Day eats! This post has so many good ideas for Slow Cooker Corned Beef, and we're featuring it again to get you in the mood for March 17. Corned beef is definitely not the most photogenic of foods, but if you're a corned beef lover like I am, I bet all these look good! And on Kalyn's Kitchen I recently posted The BEST Low-Carb Corned Beef Recipes, which has good ideas for leftover corned beef if you're lucky enough to get some.
Slow Cooker Corned Beef was something I made every year in the days before I had an Instant Pot. Now I'd have a hard time deciding which method I prefer! But no matter whether you use the slow cooker or the Instant Pot, I hope you get to enjoy some delicious corned beef on March 17!

The photo above is my own Corned Beef with Veggies and Horseradish Sauce, something I've made for many years in the slow cooker. I'll be making that again this year, although these days I'd probably make Roasted Cabbage with Lemon instead of cooking the cabbage in the slow cooker.
Slow Cooker Corned Beef and Cabbage from Foodie Crush has all the ingredients that make this Irish-American dish a classic.
I'm completely intrigued by this Slow Cook Thai Coconut Corned Beef and Cabbage from Belly Full, and I love these flavors so I'm sure I'd like it!
I love the idea of using rainbow carrots in the Slow Cooker Corned Beef and Cabbage from Rachel Cooks!

I love this Slow Cooker Melt-in-Your-Mouth Corned Beef and Cabbage from The Perfect Pantry, where the corned beef, potatoes, and carrots are cooked in chunks; then shredded cabbage is added at the end with and it's served with a maple white balsamic vinegar glaze.
Slow Cooker Corned Beef and Cabbage from Simple Nourished Living cooks the vegetables with the corned beef but adds the cabbage near the end.

I completely forgot St. Patty's day is coming up! I'll probably be eating out and washing it down with some green beer.
I agree, never too many recipes for corned beef!
Pam enjoy the green beer!
I just bought one at Costco and it has a slow cooker recipe on the package. But I do want to make horseradish sauce to go with it. I do one in the slow cooker almost every year and it seems like they are pretty fool-proof.
Brenda, a couple of these recipes had options I hadn't thought of, but I agree, corned beef is simple in the slow cooker.
I always make my irish corned beef and cabbage in the slow cooker. I add in carrots, 1/2 recipe of the potatoes and a bottle of irish beer. The cabbage goes in 1/2 hour before serving time. It is the easiest and most delicious way to make the dish.
ALLLLLLL the corned beef recipes! This is awesome! Thanks for including me!
Rachel, my pleasure! And Yaaaaay for slow cooker corned beef, right?
Thanks for including a couple of my corned beef recipes. I'm a total convert to Instant Pot corned beef, which is so tender (90 minutes in the Instant Pot, and natural pressure release).
Yes, I agree the Instant Pot method is also great.


Y&O travelers off West 9th Street to Dresden Avenue were greeted by Travelers Hotel signs, advertised in the streetcar quarterly as the finest destination in East Liverpool. Located on 4th Street, the Travelers Hotel was a stop on the Y&O loop beyond the Diamond. In 2007 the Crockery City Cafe is operated by Ray Trevelline and Mrs. Vicki Lane. Filled with historic photos and hotel memorabilia, the owners have preserved a vital segment of East Liverpool's past. East Liverpool Historical Society.
Since the above picture and text was published in 2007 in "Ghost Rails III Electrics" by Wayne A. Cole, p. 94, the Crockery City Cafe has closed. Vicki and her sister has opened a Cafe where the Oasis was located at the foot of St Clair, Lincoln and Broadway and the Travelers Hotel is shut down. However, the display mentioned here is still there (as of this date, Dec, 3, 2011).
This picture and the following ten pictures are pictures taken of pictures and displays in the Travelers Hotel.
This line was approximately 7 miles long running from Boyce Street turnaround loop in the East End of East Liverpool as shown in the above picture to a similar turnaround loop in Wellsville. In East liverpool the line would run down Mulberry Street to Ohio Avenue then down the River road to 2nd Street and up Market Street into the downtown. (Picture from WHS.

The people have spoken and I have definitely been listening. Just recently, I sent out a survey to all of you wonderful email subscribers about what YOU wanted to see on this little blog of mine. The response was clear.
A lot of you want to know how to make money online, be it through blogging or selling your own products or various other online businesses.
This survey sparked a movement that has been running through my brain for awhile now. REBRANDING!
Since I started the blog, I've slowly transitioned from a money/family/home blogger to a blogging/online business blogger because those are the topics that I'm really passionate about.
The overwhelming response of applause certainly makes the transition easier. You guys are incredible with your emails, questions, and comments. THANK YOU!
If you're in the process of rebranding your current blog or online business, then this post has an awesome free worksheet + checklist just for you!
Just enter your info below and I'll send it to your email.
Let's get on with this, shall we?
Rebranding shouldn't be a spur of the moment kind of decision as it deserves a bit of planning. Here are some of the reasons you may be thinking of a rebrand.
What's not working with my site?
What is working with my site?
One of the biggest mistakes I see is when bloggers change their niche but keep a domain that has a keyword for another niche. Let me explain.
Pretend you blog about knitting and the vegan lifestyle, and your domain is thisknittinglife.com.
If you decide to rebrand and only blog about the vegan lifestyle in the future, you really shouldn't keep the domain thisknittinglife.com because it has nothing to do with the vegan lifestyle! I'm constantly amazed at how often I see this happen!
You have dedicated readers who care about what you write and create. Let them know (you can even do this by writing a post like I'm doing right now) by saying, "Yoohooo! My site may being going through a few changes in the near future. I hope you're totally stoked because I think you're going to love it!"
UPDATE: This actually changed and I moved to AllisonLindstrom.com later on.
Sometimes a site needs to do a complete rebrand, which involves changing the domain name, redirecting posts, changing the design and logo, and changing all of the social media handles.
Other times, all a site needs is a little refreshing, like a new design and logo. Take a peak at this list to see what you may need to change.
Send an email to your subscribers on that day to let them know that the changes have taken place and that you're excited about hearing their feedback.
Also send them any freebies that you created for your rebranding (like I did with this totally awesome download up above...).
I also recommend mentioning it briefly for the next couple of times you post new content, either in a blog post or email marketing.
Not all of your readers or subscribers will see every announcement you make. It's helpful to repeat things a few times for everyone to receive the message.
If there's anything certain about owning an online business it's that the techie stuff doesn't always go as planned.
If you're doing a complete redesign and redirecting your old site to a new one, it's best to plan the transition during your slowest hours and be prepared for any minor meltdowns. Have your hosting provider on standby, friend!
I personally use Bluehost for my Wordpress sites and Squarespace hosting for my Squarespace sites (yes, I have a lot of sites to keep track of!). Bluehost has a great page here explaining how to redirect a domain. Squarespace has a great tutorial on moving your site to a new domain here.
Be sure to go through the legal steps to change any official business name or contact information.
If you're changing the business name you use to file taxes, you'll need to apply for another EIN and/or go through the process of changing all of your financial accounts. Also, don't forget to change the name on business documents, promotional items (business cards, etc.), credit card accounts, checks, and so on.
Lastly, have fun! Yeah, rebranding can be a little stressful but it's also really exciting so be sure to enjoy the process.
What should a blog include?
As you work through your rebranding process, it's important to ensure you have all the right elements of a good blog.
How can I make my blog interesting?
Don't be afraid to be different or specific. There are millions of bloggers out there and you only make your job harder when you choose to cover a broad topic like "lifestyle" blog posts.
I've had thousands of students in my blogging course and I even shared the top 5 blog niche ideas I see them choose here. But it's still not narrow enough!
Don't be afraid to narrow your focus towards a very specific category. This can be hard, I know. To make things easier, I have a comprehensive list of 160+ blog niche ideas that aren't boring.
How do you write a good blog entry?
Writing blog posts are easier to do if you have a list of elements you know you should include.
Still finding it hard to write? Yeah, I've been there. Here's my hack for writing blog posts when you really just hate writing!
Let me know how your blog rebranding goes! Are you excited? Nervous? Overwhelmed?


Now faith is [the] substantiating of things hoped for, [the] conviction of things not seen.
By faith we apprehend that the worlds were framed by [the] word of God, so that that which is seen should not take its origin from things which appear.
By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him; for before [his] translation he has the testimony that he had pleased God.
But without faith [it is] impossible to please [him]. For he that draws near to God must believe that he is, and [that] he is a rewarder of them who seek him out.
By faith, Noah, oracularly warned concerning things not yet seen, moved with fear, prepared an ark for the saving of his house; by which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which [is] according to faith.
for he waited for the city which has foundations, of which God is [the] artificer and constructor.
By faith also Sarah herself received strength for [the] conception of seed, and [that] beyond a seasonable age; since she counted him faithful who promised.
For they who say such things shew clearly that they seek [their] country.
but now they seek a better, that is, a heavenly; wherefore God is not ashamed of them, to be called their God; for he has prepared for them a city.
counting that God [was] able to raise [him] even from among [the] dead, whence also he received him in a figure.
By faith Jacob [when] dying blessed each of the sons of Joseph, and worshipped on the top of his staff.
By faith Moses, being born, was hid three months by his parents, because they saw the child beautiful; and they did not fear the injunction of the king.
esteeming the reproach of the Christ greater riches than the treasures of Egypt, for he had respect to the recompense.
By faith he left Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king; for he persevered, as seeing him who is invisible.
By faith he celebrated the passover and the sprinkling of the blood, that the destroyer of the firstborn might not touch them.
By faith they passed through the Red sea as through dry land; of which the Egyptians having made trial were swallowed up.
By faith the walls of Jericho fell, having been encircled for seven days.
By faith Rahab the harlot did not perish along with the unbelieving, having received the spies in peace.
quenched [the] power of fire, escaped [the] edge of the sword, became strong out of weakness, became mighty in war, made [the] armies of strangers give way.
and others underwent trial of mockings and scourgings, yea, and of bonds and imprisonment.
(of whom the world was not worthy,) wandering in deserts and mountains, and [in] dens and caverns of the earth.
God having foreseen some better thing for us, that they should not be made perfect without us.
looking stedfastly on Jesus the leader and completer of faith: who, in view of the joy lying before him, endured [the] cross, having despised [the] shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.
For consider well him who endured so great contradiction from sinners against himself, that ye be not weary, fainting in your minds.
Ye have not yet resisted unto blood, wrestling against sin.
for whom [the] Lord loves he chastens, and scourges every son whom he receives.
Ye endure for chastening, God conducts himself towards you as towards sons; for who is the son that the father chastens not?
But if ye are without chastening, of which all have been made partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons.
Moreover we have had the fathers of our flesh as chasteners, and we reverenced [them]; shall we not much rather be in subjection to the Father of spirits, and live?
For they indeed chastened for a few days, as seemed good to them; but he for profit, in order to the partaking of his holiness.
and make straight paths for your feet, that that which is lame be not turned aside; but that rather it may be healed.
for ye know that also afterwards, desiring to inherit the blessing, he was rejected, (for he found no place for repentance) although he sought it earnestly with tears.
and to Jesus, mediator of a new covenant; and to [the] blood of sprinkling, speaking better than Abel.
whose voice then shook the earth; but now he has promised, saying, Yet once will *I* shake not only the earth, but also the heaven.
But this Yet once, signifies the removing of what is shaken, as being made, that what is not shaken may remain.
Wherefore let us, receiving a kingdom not to be shaken, have grace, by which let us serve God acceptably with reverence and fear.
Be not forgetful of hospitality; for by it some have unawares entertained angels.
Remember prisoners, as bound with [them]; those that are evil-treated, as being yourselves also in [the] body.
[Let] marriage [be held] every way in honour, and the bed [be] undefiled; for fornicators and adulterers will God judge.
[Let your] conversation [be] without love of money, satisfied with [your] present circumstances; for *he* has said, I will not leave thee, neither will I forsake thee.
So that, taking courage, we may say, The Lord [is] my helper, and I will not be afraid: what will man do unto me?
Remember your leaders who have spoken to you the word of God; and considering the issue of their conversation, imitate their faith.
Jesus Christ [is] the same yesterday, and to-day, and to the ages [to come].
Be not carried away with various and strange doctrines; for [it is] good that the heart be confirmed with grace, not meats; those who have walked in which have not been profited by [them].
for of those beasts whose blood is carried [as sacrifices for sin] into the [holy of] holies by the high priest, of these the bodies are burned outside the camp.
for we have not here an abiding city, but we seek the coming one.
By him therefore let us offer [the] sacrifice of praise continually to God, that is, [the] fruit of [the] lips confessing his name.
But of doing good and communicating [of your substance] be not forgetful, for with such sacrifices God is well pleased.
Obey your leaders, and be submissive; for *they* watch over your souls as those that shall give account; that they may do this with joy, and not groaning, for this [would be] unprofitable for you.
Pray for us: for we persuade ourselves that we have a good conscience, in all things desirous to walk rightly.
But I much more beseech [you] to do this, that I may the more quickly be restored to you.
perfect you in every good work to the doing of his will, doing in you what is pleasing before him through Jesus Christ; to whom [be] glory for the ages of ages. Amen.
But I beseech you, brethren, bear the word of exhortation, for it is but in few words that I have written to you.
Know that our brother Timotheus is set at liberty; with whom, if he should come soon, I will see you.
Grace [be] with you all. Amen.

Greens announce health funding proposal
Australian Greens Leader and public health specialist, Dr Richard Di Natale, has today announced the Greens plan to phase out the private health insurance rebate and reinvest the savings in the public health system, including reinstating hospital funding now and for the long-term. "It's never easy to talk about withdrawing subsidies in an election year," said Senator Di Natale. "But the Greens have the courage to call the private health insurance rebate what it is – unfair, inflationary and inefficient.
Income tax proposal a cop out
Adam Bandt 30 Mar 2016
The Liberals are proving they're not up to the task of tax reform, again dumping their budget problems on state and territory governments, the Australian Greens have said.
"The Turnbull Government doesn't have the ticker to take on any difficult areas of reform so it's looking for an easy way out," said Greens Leader Richard Di Natale.
"Instead of having the courage to take on unfair tax breaks like negative gearing, capital gains tax and fossil fuel subsidies, the PM is surrendering on real reform.
That the following bills be introduced: A Bill for an Act to amend certain territory legislation to restore legislative powers concerning euthanasia and to repeal the Euthanasia Laws Act 1997, and for related purposes.
I present the bill and move:
That this bill may proceed without formalities and be now read a first time.
Bill read a first time.
That the Senate notes that:
(a) in the past 20 years, Australia has an excellent record of achievement in the prevention of disease through immunisation;
(b) in the most recent annual data records (2012), there were 1,897 adverse events following immunisation;
Cross-party push for Territory rights on dying with dignity
Australian Greens leader Dr Richard Di Natale has today reached across party lines to give notice of a co-sponsored bill that would overturn a 20 year old private member's bill by Kevin Andrews that banned the Northern Territory and ACT from legislating dying with dignity laws.
"This bill will help put dying with dignity legislation on the national agenda," said Dr Richard Di Natale.
"As a doctor, when someone gets a terminal diagnosis the feel very anxious about what their final days may bring - this legislation can give comfort at a time of great distress.
MedCan - Narcotic Drugs Amendment Bill 2016
I rise today to speak in support of the Narcotic Drugs Amendment Bill 2016.
Greens welcome passage of medicinal cannabis legislation
Australian Greens Leader Dr Richard Di Natale has today welcomed the passage of legislation to establish a national licensing scheme for the cultivation of medicinal cannabis.
"The Greens believe medicinal cannabis needs to be available to every patient who needs it and today we've seen the first piece of that puzzle pass into law," said Senator Di Natale.
Greens start national conversation to reduce drug harm
Australian Greens Leader Dr Richard Di Natale has been hosting a series of roundtables, including in Hobart, the Gold Coast, Sydney and Newcastle this week, with people working on the front lines of dealing with drug harm.
"Australia has one of the highest rates of illicit drug use in the world, despite our no tolerance policy. Treating drug use as a criminal matter, rather than a health matter, clearly isn't working," Senator Di Natale said.
Medicinal cannabis bill only the first piece of the puzzle: Greens
Australian Greens Leader Dr Richard Di Natale today cautiously welcomed the government's bill to establish a national licensing scheme for the cultivation of medicinal cannabis but warned that it still falls short of delivering for patients.
"The Health Minister has labelled its medicinal cannabis legislation the 'missing piece' when it is really just the first piece of the puzzle," said Senator Di Natale.
I rise today to speak to the issue of the Turnbull government's plans to increase the rate of the goods and services tax to 15 per cent and to broaden its base to include fresh food, education and health.

Chaos reigns at the Capitol
This article appeared in the Spring 2017 issue of The Classroom Teacher.
By JERI STONE | TCTA executive director
At this point in a legislative session, it's hard to predict ultimate outcomes. The two chambers of the Legislature seem far apart on many issues, though that's not unusual prior to the frenetic activity of the last weeks of a session.
It's really the longer-term future for public education that seems murkier in Texas. There was a time a few years ago when many were convinced that there was a coordinated effort to destroy the public schools through a combination of starving them out, offering and encouraging multiple alternatives, and hammering the "alternative fact" that they were performing poorly in Texas and weren't worthy of the state's children.
Now it's beginning to seem less likely that there's a thoughtful plan to cripple the public schools, and more likely that there are so many entities and factors operating independently of each other that chaos is the more plausible method, though the outcome may be the same.
Support public schools — but abandon them
Legislators run on a platform that includes improving local schools — but too often this doesn't actually mean supporting them by providing them with the necessary resources. After the significant reduction in school funding in 2011, there are many districts that have yet to recover their funding levels from before those cuts. While property taxes have continued to escalate, for years the increases in property tax collections have been siphoned off to the state's general revenue fund to support other causes. Yet the demands continue to increase, and both the scope of the schools' function and the results expected from them remain on the rise.
Beyond the damage caused by inadequate funding is the further retreat from public schools embodied in the march toward "choice" that includes non-public schools. Texas requires no level of accountability or even reporting from parents who are home schooling their children — nobody checks, what, if anything, these children are being taught and by whom. And private schools that support a voucher program have argued adamantly against introducing state accountability (those that oppose vouchers often do so because of the assumption that they would come under more state regulation). If the school system is watered down to the extent that parents can choose the neighborhood public school, or for the state to pay for a private school, or for the state to just give them money to spend on education that could even include home schooling, nobody is likely to be a winner.
Improve teacher quality — but "anyone can teach"
Probably the clearest indicator of the potential chaos on the horizon is teacher certification. Exemption from certification requirements is the second most frequently used exemption in District of Innovation (DOI) plans, after the school start date. Though most of the DOI plans focus on certification for career and technology teachers, districts are exempting themselves from the entire statute relating to certification. This could mean that, regardless of the rationale presented in the DOI plan, uncertified teachers could be hired for all positions except those for which federal law requires certification (special education and bilingual). And there are already many laws in place that represent a retreat from certification requirements, including emergency permits and the ability of charter schools to hire uncertified individuals.
There is not another profession that comes to mind in which certification can be waived, expedited, or just not required. Are there unlicensed nurses performing high level patient care? Untrained architects designing skyscrapers? Can you even get away with working at a hair salon without showing you have received the necessary training? The deprofessionalization of teaching is a huge concern that will have implications throughout the years to come.
Meanwhile, there is a legislative subcommittee on teacher quality that is just finishing up for the session, and at least two other entities are advocating much higher standards for teacher training. However, while advocating for these high standards, legislators are ignoring or not addressing the alternatives that already exist, the exemptions that are being granted weekly through DOI plans, and the growing population of professional, career educators who are just deciding it isn't worth it anymore and retiring or moving to other careers. The disconnect is worrisome and, ultimately, chaotic.
Ease up on standardized tests — but increase the stakes
After high-stakes testing reached such a level that parents began to rebel, the state dialed back on the number and consequences of tests. Yet efforts are ongoing in many sectors to continue the high-stakes aspects for schools and educators. There are still plenty of people in high places who demand metrics, whether it be A-F ratings or labels for individual teachers, campuses and districts. These are simplistic and unsophisticated mechanisms to keep score, and presumably somehow make sure the state is getting its money's worth.
If it were easy to assign a score or a label to a human, don't you think we'd all have a health score, or a psychiatric score, or a likelihood of success score? Yet those analogies are laughable, for the same reasons education scores should be.
With regard to the easing off on student consequences for high-stakes tests, we are grateful to the parents and public who intervened and effectively told legislators not to put their children through this charade. TAMSA (Texans Advocating for Meaningful Student Assessment) is a prime example of a grassroots organization of a bunch of smart people who recognized the farce, and demanded that their children not be subjected to it.
Unfortunately, the hard truth remains that if testing is high stakes for anyone, it's high stakes for everyone. Though your child may be able to graduate without passing a particular test, if legislation proposed this session ultimately passes, the pressure will still be on from those teachers and school administrators who will succeed or fail based on how your child does.
Pass new education laws — but ignore them
While legislators struggle with which new public education laws to pass, the District of Innovation shadow looms large. It's impossible not to wonder how many legislators have actually internalized the fact that they can pass whatever they want, and with relatively few exceptions relating chiefly to accountability and funding, districts can choose which new laws to follow and which to ignore by converting to District of Innovation status. We have reached the point already that when a member calls our legal staff with a question or problem, we must first check to see if the member works in a DOI so we can determine which laws are applicable in that member's district.
Forging ahead
Rather than dozens of different agendas at work through multiple mechanisms, from legislative proposals to TEA and SBEC rules, there needs to be a clear vision articulated that provides the framework for all schools. We need to be able to rely on the state, particularly at a time when school board members are being encouraged to look only at the performance numbers of their districts' students, to provide a baseline of good practices that are required of all districts. Variations and local control can operate outside that framework, and customize the process beyond that baseline as appropriate for their informed communities. Here's hoping that vision emerges and prevails before the chaos takes root.

_virt-who_ handles HTTP error 429 properly When the Subscription Manager load is too big, it might return HTTP error code 429 to rate-limit communication with the client. Previously, _virt-who_ did not handle this error code properly, resulting in sub-optimal behavior. With this update, _virt-who_ now handles HTTP error code 429 properly and retries the communication with Subscription Manager later.
Candlepin has recently introduced rate-limitation for host-guest associations. It returns HTTP error code 429 when the guests (including virt-who) are sending request too often. The clients should increase checking-in interval when they get this error code.
Support for this error code has been added in virt-who upstream and needs to be backported to RHEL-7. This affects lots of customers.
Is there somewhere I can find what the checking-in internal minimum is? I had mine set to 5 minutes previously. I've changed it to 1 hour just now to see if that resolves the issue but I'd really like the interval to be shorter than a hour.
There is a typo in the Doc Text: HTTOP -> HTTP, otherwise looks good. Thanks.

MEETING & ART POINT
60 million years ago in the 3rd geological period, the Toros mountain range was birthed, while pressure from the Anatolian plateau gave rise to highly active volcanoes that vomited and spewed lava across the region.
The accumulated ashes formed a soft tuff (volcanic rock) layer, which was then partially covered by a thin layer of lava. Formed by basalt, this abraded and cracked over time and penetrated the soft tuff, causing a distinctive abrasion.
With the additional effects of heating, cooling, and winds, cones with 'hats' molded from the basalt rocks began to form (and continue to do so today). The name "fairy chimney" was later bestowed on these formations by the early settlers who used them as homes. Meanwhile, the tuff layers that did not have a basalt blanket turned, thanks to erosion over time, into valleys.
Humans weren't the first "settlers." In the Persian language, Cappadocia means "land of beautiful horses," for which the region is still well known. As regards humans, Cappadocia was originally established by settlements some 9–10,000 years ago, but written history begins with the Hittites. Much later, it was an important center for budding Christianity, as evidenced from the engraved stone houses and churches. Indeed, it was somewhat of a sanctuary for early Christians.
Throughout its history, Cappadocia has been a center for trading colonies, acting as a trade and social bridge between countries, for example as an important point along the old Silk Road.
Nature, history, and art have integrated beautifully in Cappadocia. The geography of the area formed the distinctive fairy chimneys, and over the course of time people created houses and churches out of these, decorating them with frescoes that today allow visitors glimpses of the remains of distant civilizations. Indeed, these carvings and frescoes by the first Christians, together with their refuge of underground cities, showcase the harmony of humans and nature.
Göreme Open Air Museum was announced as a world heritage site by UNESCO.
The largest number of stone churches decorated with frescos is found in Cappadocia.
3 of the founders of the Christian Church, St. Basil, St. Gregory from Nazianus, and St. Gregory from Nyssa were from Cappadocia.
Cappadocia's underground cities, of which there are 30 known, provided refuge for 100,000 people.

WHY UÇHİSAR?
Cappadocia is a unique cultural, religious, and natural tourism area and a UNESCO world heritage site. Uçhisar Castle is positioned on the highest geographical point in Cappadocia, commanding impressive views of the whole area. As a result, we nestled Museum Hotel into the slopes below the castle to give simply majestic views of the area. Restored from thousand-year-old caves and dwellings, the majority of rooms and communal areas in our unique hotel feature a bird's eye view of the area.
Unlike other hotels in the region, Museum Hotel's singular positioning on the slopes below the castle means that our Lil'a restaurant, the terraces, bar, and our fabulous Roman pool all have amazing views of Cappadocia. Another benefit of our fantastic location is that each morning around 100 beautifully colored hot air balloons fly over and close by, which affords Museum Hotel one of the best places to watch this daily breathtaking experience.
A further benefit of our ideal position, even, is that guests are able to view both sunrise andsunset thanks to the 270° angle of our site. Only Museum Hotel at this special Uçhisar site is able to offer all these benefits.

My bind-911 server after few hours stop working and sending errors like below.
I have totally basic configuration. Listen on some ip and added one domain. Bind is in jail, jail is created from sources which host is built. Someone can tell me where can be a problem ?
It looks like you're trying to bind it to em0 and that interface isn't available. Did you configure it to listen on the host's IP address perhaps?
// in /usr/local/share/doc/bind for more details.
And process is still active. It stops working after few hours. Im wondering why.
I don't run BIND in a jail (it's already chroot(8)'ed so there's no benefit). But I can imagine it needs allow.raw_sockets.
More importantly, is that IP address bound to the jail?
I have no idea what's going on. Can i debug it somehow ?
It starts working when i enter service named restart.
You said that bind is already chrooted. You mean that basic installation include chroot for bind911 by default ?
You mean that basic installation include chroot for bind911 by default ?
Yes, just not enabled by default.

Q: Getting Ranges from a series of numbers from a table and storing all ranges in a string variable in PLSQL/Oracle Forms I have a table containing a series of numbers 1,2,3,4,5,11,12,13,14,15,101,102,103,104,105,510,511,512,513,515,516,517.
I want an PL/SQL Function so that I can get the ranges and then store all all the ranges in a single string variable in the following format.
"1-5, 11-15, 101-105, 510-517".
I have get a code to generate the rages in SQL*Plus, but it did not work in PL/SQL and forms. The procedure is given below:
  SQL> SET SERVEROUTPUT ON
  SQL> DECLARE
    2    v_list VARCHAR2(100);
    3  BEGIN
    4    SELECT listagg(RANGE, ',') WITHIN GROUP(
    5    ORDER BY min_num)
    6    INTO v_list
    7    FROM
    8      (SELECT MIN(num) min_num,
    9        MIN(num)

GBP – British Pound
The British pound sterling is one of the most heavily traded currencies on the foreign exchange markets. A staple of international finance, it is involved in 12.8% of daily forex turnover and is widely viewed as the quintessential base currency.[1]
According to the Bank of International Settlements' (BIS) Triennial Survey (2016), the pound ranks as the fourth-most-heavily-traded currency behind the United States dollar (USD), euro (EUR) and Japanese yen (JPY). It also accounts for nearly US$650 billion in average daily turnover.[2]
It's often referred to as the pound, Great Britain pound or British pound, and it's symbolised by a latin capital L (£). On the forex, it is referenced according to the International Organisation for Standards (ISO) code GBP.
The GBP is officially managed and regulated by central banking authority of the U.K., the Bank of England (BoE). The BoE is tasked with crafting monetary policy, promoting economic growth and issuing banknotes. Common BoE notes in circulation include the £5, £10, £20 and £50 denominations.[3]
The History Of The British Pound Sterling
The origins of the British pound date to the 8th century and pre-feudalistic societies of northwestern Europe.[4] Found predominantly in Anglo-saxon kingdoms, silver coins known as "sterlings" circulated as legal tender.
A specie-based monetary system prevailed in the U.K. until the mid-17th century and rise of goldsmith bankers in London. The goldsmiths extended loans, accepted deposits and issued banknotes redeemable for specie. The banking industry in London rapidly evolved and culminated in the creation of the BoE in 1694.[4]
Established by King William III, the BoE served as the first central bank in history and was commissioned with financing war efforts against France. In the 12 days after the bank's creation, £1.2 million was raised, half of which was earmarked to strengthen the British navy.[6]
Circa 1717, U.K. leadership decided to begin defining the pound's value in terms of gold instead of silver. However, it was not until the 1800s that the pound followed the German mark and became officially pegged to bullion at £4.25 per ounce. This arrangement lasted until the onset of World War I, when the gold standard was suspended to support military affairs.[7]
Following WWI, Prime Minister Winston Churchill reinstituted the gold standard in 1925. The policy proved to be short lived as the U.K. permanently abandoned gold-backed money in 1931. The onset of the Great Depression and the onslaught of World War II bolstered the need for levels of government spending not permitted by the traditional gold standard.
Following the conclusion of WWII, the pound once again became linked to bullion, albeit indirectly. In 1944, the U.K. joined a group of allied nations in the signing of the Bretton Woods Accords. Bretton Woods designated both the USD and GBP as global reserve currencies. Nonetheless, the pound was to be fixed to the USD, which was in turn pegged to gold. The Bretton Woods monetary system remained in effect until 1971, effectively dictating the value of the pound.[4]
Beginning in 1971 and through to the present day, the pound has experienced a collection of extreme ups and downs. The late 1970s brought uneasiness and International Monetary Fund (IMF) loans, sustained growth defined the 1980s and Black Wednesday ushered in the 1990s. Since 1992, the GBP has existed as a free-floating currency, independent of any pegs or fixing.[8]
Economy Of The United Kingdom
The U.K. features extensive diversity in the financial, manufacturing and export sectors. Considered ta global economic superpower, the U.K. exists as a combination of English, Welsh, Scottish and Northern Irish resources. From the oil fields of the North Sea to the financial district of London, U.K. economic prowess is renowned the world over.
Within the context of the eurozone, the U.K. ranks as the third-largest economy behind Germany and France.[9] Technically classified as a service-based economy, its gross domestic product (GDP) is especially dependent upon the banking, insurance and business-support sectors. In terms of GDP purchasing power parity (PPP), the U.K. ranks ninth in the world with an annual figure of US$2.925 trillion (as of 2017).[9] The agricultural (0.7%), industrial (20.2%) and service (79.2%) sectors are the three primary components of aggregate GDP.
Exports play a significant role in the U.K. economy, and in turn, valuations of the GBP. The U.K. stands as the 10th-largest exporter of goods and services abroad.[9] Outflows of manufactured goods, fuels, chemicals and foodstuffs head up the list of leading exports. Among the main destinations for these items are the U.S. (13.2%), Germany (10.5%), France (7.4%) and the Netherlands (6.2%).[9]
Due to geographic separation from the eurozone, the U.K. is a premier importer of foreign goods and services. As of year-end 2017, it ranked as the fifth-largest importer in the world, accounting for US$615.9 billion annually.[9] Machinery, crude oil and assorted food items serve as the main imports. Germany (13.7%), the U.S. (9.5%) and China (9.3%) are the top three providers of goods and services to the U.K.
Since 2000, economic times in the U.K. have been historically challenging. Far from the cyclical highs of the 1970s and 1980s, 2000 through 2019 brought a severe decline in GDP followed by relatively flat growth. Quarterly GDP ranged from 1.5% to -2.2%, due in large part to a sharp downturn in 2008 and the adopted austerity measures used to promote recovery.[10]
The 2016 vote for Brexit threw the economy into a state of flux. Existing trade agreements and duties established with the countries of the European Union (EU) came into question. This brought an abundance of uncertainty to U.K./EU two-way trade, jeopardising the future viability of the U.K.'s £274 billion in annual exports and £341 billion in imports attributable to EU nations.[11]
At its core, the U.K. is a medley of four unique nations; England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. In order to oversee the vast banking industry and diverse financial markets, regulators derive authority from the Financial Services and Markets Act of 2000 (FSMA).[12] Under guidance from the FSMA, the financial industry falls under the jurisdiction of three bodies:
Bank of England: The BoE is tasked with crafting policy toward the GBP, resolving disputes and making recommendations to lawmakers.
Prudential Regulation Authority (PRA): The primary objective of the PRA is to promote the safety and security of the banking industry as it pertains to the broader financial system. In addition, the PRA ensures fair competition in the market-oriented services provided by licensed firms.
Financial Conduct Authority (FCA): The FCA is commissioned with promoting efficient capital markets, fair competition and consumer protection.
Collectively, these departments regulate a vast majority of the financial system in the United Kingdom. However, other regulators such as Her Majesty's Treasury are also involved in preserving the integrity of the GBP and U.K. monetary system.
Major British Pound Sterling Currency Pairs
Held as the fifth largest currency in the IMF's reserve basket, the GBP is one of the world's seven majors. It is frequently traded in tandem with the USD (GBP/USD) as a major pairing.[13] The also pound garners the attention of traders as part of several minor pairs: the EUR/GBP, GBP/JPY and GBP/CAD. For adventurous forex participants, an exotic pairing with the South African rand (GBP/ZAR) is a common target for trade.
British Pound Sterling Bills And Coins
As the U.K.'s central bank, the BoE has the authority to issue banknotes accepted throughout the region. BoE bills are formally distributed in England and Wales, though seven banking institutions in Scotland and Northern Ireland are also permitted to issue banknotes:[14]
Scotland: Bank of Scotland, Clydesdale Bank, The Royal Bank of Scotland
Northern Ireland: Bank of Ireland, AIB Group, Northern Bank Limited, Ulster Bank Limited
Since 1696, the BoE has produced and distributed paper money throughout Great Britain.[15] Originally, the notes served as bearer bonds, convertible for gold deposits held in BoE vaults. Since that time, the notes have evolved from paper to polymer to provide enhanced security features.
Circulating bills issued by the BoE include the £5, £10, £20 and £50 pound notes.[3] On the face of each is a portrait of the Queen of England, with various historical figures illustrated on the backside.
Beginning in 1489 with the Sovereign, the Royal Mint has been commissioned with the production of all coinage in Great Britain.[16] Coins in circulation include the £5, £2, £1, 50p, 2p, 10p, 5p, 2p and one penny issues.
The British Pound Sterling Around The World
The pound serves as the official currency of U.K. members England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. Nine British territories also use the GBP: British Antarctica, the Falkland Islands, Gibraltar, the Isle of Man, Guernsey, Jersey, South Georgia, Saint Helena and the South Sandwich Islands. The GBP is frequently used side by side with a number of domestic currencies, but it does not serve as a peg.[17]
Where Is The British Pound Sterling Today?
In the aftermath of the global financial crisis of 2008-2012, the GBP experienced a period of extended volatility. In an attempt to restore pricing stability and confidence in the U.K. economy, the BoE implemented a 10-year plan of quantitative easing (QE). The comprehensive QE program was spearheaded by near-zero interest rates and aggressive bond buying.[18] To reduce a growing national debt, austerity measures were taken by the U.K. government and they included a reduction in federal spending and increased tax levies.
From a purely economic standpoint, the QE program benefited the U.K. Unemployment levels for 2008-19 dropped from 8.5% to 4%,[18] while GDP exceeded pre-crisis valuations.[19]
However, the GBP has struggled to regain its pre-2008 form. For the period of 2008-19, it has fallen by more than 40% against the USD and by almost 25% against the EUR. While the policies of QE and austerity are widely believed to have circumvented a depression, the GBP has suffered a prolonged devaluation.
The Brexit vote ushered in an era of uncertainty regarding the political future of the U.K. as well as the international status of the pound. Upon the vote to "leave" becoming official, the GBP experienced one of its worst days in recorded history and fell to a 30-year low.[6] The Brexit transition process brought little comfort to the pound and presented a number of unique challenges. Leadership changes, heated E.U. "divorce deal" negotiations and deep Parliamentary divisions repeatedly undermined the stability of the pound.

B2B Beat: Machines Marketing to Machines
Sean Callahan
The new movie "Terminator Genisys," like all the previous entries in this sci-fi series, features machines fighting machines to the death.
David Raab's slightly less cinematic presentation at 6Sense's InMarket event, which took place in San Francisco on July 8, made the case that machines won't necessarily fight with other machines – but they will soon will market to other machines. And in some cases, this scenario is already in full swing.
Raab, principal at Raab Associates, opened his presentation by describing how a contemporary Jane Jetson might find her way home from work in the near future. Ms. Jetson might take a seat in a self-driving car and do work on a digital device as the car piloted her homeward. On the way, however, the car might automatically interact – machine-to-machine – with a number of other devices, setting up a recharging stop, figuring out where to buy milk, and even consulting with Jane's Fitbit about why she should avoid getting a doughnut.
Raab said this kind of machine-to-machine communication is the coming reality. In fact, this future is already here in some quarters. "People are delegating more decisions to machines," he said.
Marketers, for example, are already marketing to machines when they design their websites to send SEO-boosting signals to Google's search algorithm. There will only be more of this in the future for marketers, Raab said. As evidence, he pointed to the current merging of marketing technology and advertising technology to form something he called "MadTech."
This new kind of marketing approach will bring the personalization of marketing automation together with the scale of ad tech. And it will heavily involve machines in negotiation with machines.
As the future arrives – and it will arrive quickly – marketers will need to be prepared, Raab said. Data will be increasingly important, and marketers will need to be able to integrate third-party data and identify individuals across channels.
The marketers of the (near) future won't give machines directions such as "if A, then B" and then sit back and reap the rewards. People will need to be much more involved in the ever-changing action, Raab said. He likened the future of marketing to a football game, where marketers will be continually running new plays based on the situation: running sometimes, passing others.
"The exact play depends on the situation," he said.
So in the machine vs. machine marketing cage match to come, the companies implementing the best technology won't necessarily be the winners. The people who can best learn from the machine interaction and put those lessons into action are the ones who will beat their competitors.

Corp. Joseph Maus, 105th Inf. 27th Division, 1918
Joseph Maus was born in Long Island City, New York on May 19th, 1898. He was the third child of Nicholas and Elizabeth (Kunz) Maus. He graduated from Public School No. 6 in Astoria, Queens and was a member of St. Mary's Roman Catholic Church in Jamaica, NY where he played on the parish baseball team "composed of young men from the parish". He and his father lived with his older sister Madaline and her husband John J. O'Farrell at 231 Jeffrey Avenue.
Mexican Border Service
When he was 18 years old, Joe first enlisted in the 71st Infantry Regiment of the New York National Guard on May 8th, 1916. From June to September of 1916, Joe served during the Mexican Border Campaign by defending the Rio Grande River near McAllen, Texas as part of the New York Division.

The 27th "Orion" Division
Following America's formal entrance into the Great War in April of 1917, the New York National Guard was called back into Federal Service on July 12, 1917. Joseph was mobilized into the American Expeditionary Forces on August 5, 1917 as a Corporal in A Company, 105th Infantry Regiment, 53rd Infantry Brigade, 27th "Orion" Infantry Division under the command of Major General John Francis O'Ryan. The 27th Division was one of only three AEF Divisions composed entirely of National Guard troops from a single state (New York), and was commonly called "New York's Own."
The distinctive insignia of the 27th Division combines a stylized "NYD" monogram for "New York Division" along with the 7-star constellation of Orion which plays on General O'Ryan's name.
Training at Camp Wadsworth
The 27th Division participated in a large send-off parade in New York City on August 30, 1917 before traveling by rail to the Camp Wadsworth training cantonment at Spartanburg, South Carolina. The Division remained in training at Camp Wadsworth for nine months before traveling to Newport News, Virginia where it embarked on the "Bridge of Ships" for France on May 17, 1918. It was at Newport News that Madaline and John visited Joe just prior to his departure and "made a new man on him".

Defensive Sector
After arriving in France, in early June the 27th Division continued to receive intensive training under the British Army in the areas of Picardy and Flanders.
On July 25, 1918 the division then relieved the British 6thDivision along the East Poperinghe Line in the Dickebusch Lake/Scherpenberg Sector in Belgium. Here it recieved its baptism by fire while holding the "Defensive Sector."

Ypres-Lys Offensive
In August-September 1918, the 27th Division engaged German troops during the Ypres-Lys Offensive which was an Allied effort to reduce the Amiens salient created during past German offensives of March-April 1918. The responsibility for the opening assault on August 31, 1918 fell to the 53rd Brigade including the 105th and 106th Infantry Regiments.

"The Glorious 27th" by Matania, 1919
On September 4, 1918 the entire 27th Division was relieved, transferred to the British 3rd Army command and was stationed in reserve near Doullens.
The Somme Offensive was then launched on September 24, 1918 with the objective of breaking the Hindenburg Line. As part of this operation on September 27, the 105th Infantry moved forward in attack and made initial gains near Quennemont Ferme, Guillemont Ferme, and fortified heights called "The Knoll", before being driven back by German counter-attack. On September 29th, the 105th Infantry attacked "The Knoll" again but was checked with heavy casualties. It was during this attack that Corporal Joseph Maus was killed in action, one of 1,609 casualties in the ranks of the 105th Infantry during the war.

Joseph Maus was my great grand uncle. Several years ago I hired a genealogist to help me trace my ancestry. During this process, we came across several other photos of Uncle Joe as well as the original Western Union telegram reporting his death. I would be happy to share these if you would like.

quite interesting, i am researching Troop I, 121st cavalry, new york national guard, buffalo, ny…….tey went to the mexican border also and later became the 102d mortar battery of the 27th division….i am interested in any added information that helps put this puzzle together.

Elizabeth Miller – my father John Ward was on the Mexican border in the 27 Division Artillery – some interesting facts – they went to the Mex border in wool uniforms. The heat was a big problem with many soldiers fainting from the heat. On this one day they were clearing fields in Texas with their bayonets so they could pitch their tents, soldiers were dropping like flies. My father tried to keep himself upright by using his rifle but to no avail. No one wanted to feint because they would find themselves strapped into a stretcher and might not be able to join their buddies for many days. He woke up strapped into a stretcher under a tree. The stretcher was on little stubby blocks about 3 inches tall. Snakes who were being driven out of the fields by the clearing were running under and over the stretcher, my Dad who was an Irish immigrant had never seen a snake and was terrified. (They don't have snakes in Ireland.)

thanks for that story…do you know any details about the personnel changes to the 27th, while still on the border? have any suggested research ideas? beth

Hello Elizabeth. Was your father (John J Ward) the same one that later served with the 101st Field Artillery during WWI? I am trying to track down any information about him because I believe that he is the same John J Ward that wrote a post-war statement for my great-grandfather, Charles Coffin Gurley (Watertown, Mass). He might not be the same Ward, since the handwritten letter states that John J Ward is a Sergeant in the 104th Infantry.

The Avon River is a river in Perth County, Ontario, Canada. The river was named after the River Avon in England when the town of Stratford was founded on its banks in 1832. The Avon River rises northeast of Stratford and flows southwest, entering the North Thames River near St. Marys. It was originally known as the Little Thames River.

Course

The river begins in a field northeast of the community of Shakespeare in Perth East. It flows west to the north of the community, south of Brocksden, and into Lake Victoria, a seasonal reservoir created by the Thomas Orr Dam, in Stratford. The Avon River continues west through the community of Avonton in Perth South, and heads south through the community of Avonbank. It then empties into the North Thames River, as a left tributary, between the community of Motherwell to the north and the town of St. Marys to the south.

Q: How do you make login query for every api call and how to handle response with rxjava? So I'm using RxAndroid, Retrofit2 and Room trying to do as the flowchart below. It's quite a complex asynchronous operation and I'm struggling with it. I'm new to Rxjava and I've spent hours reading about it but it still feels very abstract to me.
I need to login into the server and get an access token before trying to fetch data from the server, then log out after I've received a response. So I need to chain the operations somehow and use the result from the previous request, but I also need to be able to handle any errors in the chain. Not sure how to handle chaining in RXjava, I've read some people suggest flatMap, but I'm not trying to combine any data.
I'm trying to follow a MVC pattern. I have one class for API calls and one class for handling the database.
Flowchart:

A: You can use Http Authenticator or Interceptor to do login call before every API call.


This photo was taken by photographer Rebecca Bonner. She was the requested photographer for the Guiry marriage proposal at the DJC. Rebecca had no idea initially that she would be taking a photo of an International Jet airplane, but once she had it she sent to us, thinking we might be able to use it. And she was right! Thanks, Rebecca! We love the shot.

Western Port Angeles Harbor
Hazardous Waste Site | Port Angeles, WA | Early 1900s to present
Port Angeles Harbor was once dominated by large sawmills, plywood manufacturing, pulp and paper production facilities, as well as marine shipping/transportation, boat building and refurbishing, petroleum bulk fuel facilities, marinas, and commercial fishing industries. Since the early 1900s, pulp and paper mills and other industrial facilities discharged effluents into Port Angeles Harbor. These discharges have resulted in harbor sediments contaminated by heavy metals, dioxins, PCBs, and petrochemicals. While the Washington State Department of Ecology is the lead agency for the cleanup of Port Angeles Harbor, the Port Angeles Harbor Natural Resource Trustees have assessed the injuries to natural resources in the Western Harbor. Potentially responsible parties for the Western Harbor include: Nippon Paper Industries USA Co., Ltd; Merrill & Ring Inc.; Georgia-Pacific LLC; The Port of Port Angeles; The City of Port Angeles; and Owens Corning.
What Were the Impacts?
The Trustees evaluated contamination of intertidal and subtidal sediments over the entirety of Port Angeles Harbor. Eleven sediment studies between 2002 and 2013 revealed hazardous substances at concentrations above state and federal standards, indicating potential injuries to benthic organisms, fish, shellfish, and birds. The distribution of hazardous substances corresponds with the locations of historical industrial activities and wastewater discharge sites identified within Port Angeles Harbor.
Port Angeles Harbor provides critical habitat for Puget Sound Chinook salmon, steelhead trout, bull trout, and Hood Canal summer chum salmon, listed under the Endangered Species Act, as well as a diversity of shellfish, fish, birds, and mammals that use shoreline habitats. Sampled fish and shellfish specimens from the harbor have been found to have elevated concentrations of metals, dioxins, PCBs, and petrochemicals in their tissue. The Washington State Department of Health has restricted shellfish harvest and posted an advisory against consumption of crab from the Harbor.
What's Happening Now?
March 2021 Proposed Consent Decrees and Damage Assessment and Restoration Plan
On March 26, 2021, the U.S Department of Justice announced two Consent Decrees proposing a total $9.3 million settlement to restore for injuries to natural resources caused by hazardous waste pollution at the Western Port Angeles Harbor site.
The Consent Decrees provide a total settlement value of $9.3 million. One Consent Decree would resolve the liability of the Port of Port Angeles, Nippon Paper Industries USA Co., Ltd., Merrill & Ring Inc., Georgia-Pacific LLC, and Owens Corning for $8.5 million. The other Consent Decree would resolve the liability of The City of Port Angeles for $800,000.
NOAA and other members of the Port Angeles Harbor Trustee Council also released a draft damage assessment and restoration plan. The plan included an assessment of the injuries to the environment from the pollution. It also proposes an ecosystem-based habitat restoration program that would restore the pollution-impacted resources with $8.5 million of funds from the settlement.
May 2021 Final Damage Assessment and Restoration Plan
The trustees released a final damage assessment and restoration plan which proposed the establishment of a regional restoration program to select and implement future restoration projects. The program will provide funding for ecosystem-based restoration actions to be implemented by local restoration partners. The trustees will cultivate, solicit, and evaluate opportunities for restoration, and provide funding for selected projects.
Final Damage Assessment and Restoration Plan: Western Port Angeles Harbor (PDF, 72 pages)
The trustees will update this case page, and the Washington Department of Ecology's Western Port Angeles Harbor NRDA page, with more information about progress as the program and projects start to move forward.
June 2021 Approval of Consent Decrees and Initial Compensation
Following completion of the final plan, two consent decrees were lodged in federal district court. The consent decrees were entered by the district court judge on June 9, 2020, completing the NRDA settlement process for the Western Port Angeles Harbor.

I know, I know, I need to get an actual good camera so I can take real pictures of things. There were gorgeous classic cars lined up along Court Street all day today, but the timing was such that we got to see them in action, because they were filming a car chase as part of Men in Black 3.
The scene that we got to watch was done by stunt doubles, and involved classic cars & taxis driving rather normally, and then the heroes (presumably -- or maybe villains?) darting through on a motorcycle, chased by what look like police. They did this exact same thing three times (while members of the crew called out that we couldn't take flash pictures and cross the street, occasionally tacking on the fact that it was stunt doubles on not actors, possibly out of bemusement toward the assembled crowd of onlookers).
After watching the third take, we cautiously made our way to the subway, stepping over cables and briefly talking to a man standing on the steps who said he was an extra. On a whim, I asked if I could get my picture with him.
I sort of can't wait for this movie to come out so I can look for my random extra-man friend.
