Hope to get some advice and recommendation on which Freelancing sites (odesk, freelancer, guru etc) provides the best protection for Buyers/Employer.
I've had horrible experience in the past with Odesk (http://www.sitepoint.com/forums/showthread.php?987335-Odesk-getting-ripped-off) where I got ripped off by a contractor and only to found out that Odesk does not care about work quality, as long hours are logged properly (screenshots), it does not matter whether what they(contractor) did is functional or not. My website is in a mess, I was forced to make full payment (Odesk doesn't give you control of your own money, crazy right?), it's been a nightmare.
I found Realtyna (realtyna.com) on Elance.com which I might hire for a real estate portal project, how does Elance handles disputes in such case? I know they charge an insane amount of fee for arbitration (For jobs valued under $1000.00 the cost to file is $399.00 to be reviewed by a single arbitrator. For jobs valued $1000.00 and over the cost to file is $750.00 to be reviewed by a panel of arbitrators.)
I've had an agreement with the contractor on the Odesk case in our discussion where in the event that they could not deliver the website as per specification, they will refund the money, the contractor also written back and agreed with the terms. When things gone bad, Odesk told me that the "agreement" I had with the contractor can't be enforced and the contractor won't be held accountable for what they've agreed and promised.
An alternative is to pay your odesk contractor by the hour and do a daily check of what they do. And don't forget to set weekly limits.
I was using hourly contract, that was the problem. As long contractor log their hours accordingly (doesn't matter whether their work functions or not), they will be paid. Also you have no control over your own money either, my project was supposed to be completed in 7 days, the contractor charged me the full sum within the first 4 days without producing any result. When I file the dispute, Odesk says screenshots checks out so the Contractor got paid. When I ask about quality, Odesk told me if quality matters to me I should have chosen a Fixed job contract so I can pay when I see results. What a joke..
Any recommendation on which freelancing site that protects Employer?
On smaller projects and projects where you are not familiar with the contractor, I would recommend only using fixed price projects. The freelance jobsites are all setup so that the contractor doesn't get paid on these types of jobs before the you accept the work.
If you are looking for alternatives to oDesk, there are elance and freelancer.com.
I can't help but wonder if you checked out the individuals ratings before you assigned them to your project. When looking at those ratings, also keep in mind that if they have only had 10 jobs, their rating isn't really that reliable, even if the rating is high. Always, find someone with a high rating, as well as high numbers in completed projects. If you don't, you are putting yourself in pretty serious risk. By the sounds of how Odesk handled matters though, it seems negligent to say the least.
Yes you are right Odesk does not care about work quality, you have to take care of your work personally Odesk does contractor work.But nobody forced you to make full payment if you are not satisfied with work.
Alternate to oDesk is elance and freelancer.com, vworker.
Hi,Newbie here. I've been to Odesk and I don't like their system (sorry). What I could share is this site Staff.com, although it's still growing and it's not that popular like Freelancer or Odesk but their service is superb. Odesk has its own time tracking system and they (Staff) too has a unique time tracker that takes screenshots and tracks your time even if you're on break.
For contract work, I think the only one I would recommend other than oDesk is Elance.
But then, I am not quite sure if they do this:
If that is your concern, maybe you should check out Staff.com (the one mentioned in the above comment). They are for full time remote work though. Not sure if that is what you are after. But, since they have dedicated people who would assist you with connecting to an employee, I think that is enough protection.
Working on hourly bases on odesk.com I think is safe. On the other hand Elance is a good choice. What I use to do now I take local projects and they pay me fair amount and I am happy. So, I would suggest you can start your website and take projects.
Now a days so many people blame to odesk. Yes something going on so bad there . Especially, i dislike their price range . Any one can bid with low and low price. so new contractor try to bid with very low price for get the early jobs and doing low quality work.I thing comparatively Elance is the best.
Which freelancing site is more popular?
I have solely tried odesk and I felt it is one of the best freelancing sites. Actually, Odesk was my foremost sign up. oDesk is the marketplace for online workteams, with the best business model for both buyers and providers.
You should try eLance.com, it has c good buyer protection in place, but for a first time job you should try a provider with a small job.
It's interesting to see how hourly billing can be problematic for clients (I've always been against charging by the hour for my own services for other reasons). I know it's more difficult to do with a web development project than with a writing project, but setting up well-defined deliverables that can be paid in milestones does make a big difference. Breaking things down into "bite-sized" pieces allows the provider to prove that they are meeting their end of the agreement as things progress. They know they will get paid as they go along for achieving each of their client's objectives - which means they must be very sure they can actually do what they claim. This approach will give you better protection than any contract or even the use of escrow (although I advocate using both).
An "Agile" project management approach might be a good model to use the next time you set up a scope of work. It may lead to early delivery of a functional "product" that can then be refined as much as desired (or until the costs outweigh the benefits). Either way, you end up with something that works.
I am a freelancer doing jobs on freelancer and odesk. Most of the clients of mine are more than happy with me. You have to select a contractor after checking other employers testimonials. If you are trying it for the first time you have to try fixed price jobs on odesk. In my experience Odesk is best.
That's why we must be very careful in hiring someone from freelancing websites!
i agree with you
I don't think it has something to do with the freelancing site. You also have to remember that you are solely responsible for what have been engaging into, especially if it involves money. It doesn't matter which freelancing site or whether you have entered into an agreement with somebody. You just have begin small and know the contractor fully well before going big. What happens to you is that you've met someone not as skillful and honest as you think. If you're not happy with the results, then you've got to stop early on.
Well, Odesk & Elance are useful for only freelancer who love to work from home. But if you are working in office then you need long term clients...
Well, I am new on odesk and still not get any project on my profile but as I think they both are helpful way to make money.
You can leave a bad feedback to your contractor.

Well i'm still being kept busy at Uni, but i am making time
for KDE in my spare time. I have been compiling load s more
stuff via Telnet.
Yesterday Jono heard about the Linux expo in London and was
very excited at the thought of being able to set up a kde
booth there. He asked if i would like to help him out with
the booth, i said yeah and he made some phone calls. Anyway
we decided that it would be a good place to carry out the
KDE-Usability study on ppl who vist the booth and use a
machine ! I have been working on the web site, still not
complete as i need to polish up the questions :
Also tonight at uni me and Jono listened in to the kde-
multimedia meeting on IRC, to see what was being sorted out
for future developments of multimedia for KDE
Anyway better get to bed, i'm v.tierd

I thought the Breathless trailer was good, but lacking in that it really was a HUGE tease. Now we have word of a second teaser. Even though it's with Harry Potter, I guess it would be worth seeing in the theaters. I wonder if this one will be similar to the Breathless trailer in format or will be more like the EP1 trailer, with some dialogue and a bunch of random scenes all spliced together.
Anyways, I'm hoping it'll show the darker side that the middle episodes usually depict.
The other thing I wonder about is the EP2 DVD material. Will it have the full second trailer or totally different material?

When I was in college getting my graphic design degree, I experienced the situation where you know you are more talented than your professor and they kind of resent you for it. Even though you are putting out better work than anyone in the class, they tend to be more critical and discouraging than anything else. However, I would like to think that an accomplished, award-winning motion picture artist would be a little bit more professional than some old lady stuck teaching at a community college. Then again, it is human nature.
But it's also possible that the judges are just a victim of editing. My boss has starred on 3 reality shows as of now and has a fourth in development and he explained it like this: You can spend 55 minutes singing another person's praises and talking about how good and talented they are, then 5 minutes giving constructive criticism and outlining how they can improve and the editors will home in on the 5 minutes of criticism because it's seen as more dramatic. The editors decide what story they want to tell first, then they pick and choose, from the hundreds of hours worth of footage, in order to create that story. Documenting what "really happened" is not really that important.

Joe your post is 100% logical and makes perfect sense. But there is not an A-List pro in the country that would turn down an "Auggie" or other dog they think will bring them more wins and the best shot at a National.
Farmer runs up to 19 Open dogs a weekend.
Even though his truck is full, you approach Danny with a big time dog that he thinks he'll win another National with... he'll put Ethel in the front seat and make a hole for your dog and have 20 at the next trial. Applying your logic, Guthrie is going to think that is to many dogs and his dog won't get enough training. He'll pull his dog. Viola - back to 19 and you've just improved the truck as a whole.

While we are talking about life on the Bismarck please pray for the only plumber in Key West. Apparently his doctor's appointment did not go well. In fact it went so poorly it lasted four days. On the upside, with the lack of plumbers in Key West, I am re-evaluating my retirement options. How hard can it be? I have glued pvc before. I can solder a pipe and most importantly I can show up when called
Our worldly possessions removed from the Queen Anne's Revenge, I called Blackbeard and happily woke his drunken ass up. I told him we were out of here and the key was on the counter. He babbled something about making it up to me; I said yeah right and hung up.
Off to Key West for breakfast. We decided to start the day at Harpoon Harry's, a Key West classic. We were lucky enough to have Les Nessman for our waiter. Now I know what happens when you are not "on the air in Cincinnati". The breakfast was good but service was slow. Properly stuffed, it was time to walk downtown to the corner of Flemming and Whitehead Street to visit the most pilfered sign in America. Mile Marker 0. The beginning and the end of US 1. Properly awed and photographic memories created, it was back to the center of town to do some last minute shopping that lasted till lunch time.
Final meal in Key West was at the Three Amigos, home of the square taco. Taco's were square, the salsa bland and with a three hour drive ahead…..no tequila. The view was cool for people watching but the music was horrible….disco. Disco? Really, in 2013? Disco is dead. Thank God. Well apparently it is dead everywhere but the Three Amigos in Key West. Maybe the Three Amigos is just a cover name for the Bee Gees. Are any of them still around?
Time for the drive back to Miami, which was as beautiful as the drive down, with the exception of the crazy lady in the white Bronco who was doing stupid things all the way up US 1
Of course, before the flight home there is the Miami airport. The Miami airport is a lot of things but a model of efficiency is not anything it will ever be accused of. I will save the rental car return drama and skip to the more than an hour of my life I won't get back from waiting in the screening line. I am not going to blame TSA. It is not their fault when some pin heads (probably Congress) decide that two screening points on a Sunday morning in the cruise capitol of the east coast is good idea. Idiots.
An uneventful flight calumniating with a smooth landing during snow flurries. Welcome home. Great Food. Great Drinks. Great Memories. Great Family. Thanks for making turning the Big 5-0 much less of a blow.

My Italy-book Is Done And Ordered!
Posted 05 May 2009 - 04:52 AM
Those of you on Facebook will recognize it!
Thanks for all the encouragement you gave me there! Especially Barb Hughes!
And hugs to Vaughnde, who has left love on every single page I've uploaded in the gallery here!
For those of you who wonder what Shutterfly-books look like and what I think - this is my third.
I'm overall very satisfied with what they do, and I think their customer service is great!
I've had some problems with pages coming loose, wrong color of the spine and too much cutting - but thy've solved everything for me and sent me new ones at no cost! To Sweden!!!
They might be a little bit more expensive than some other places, but I think they're worth every penny!
As long as you remember to turn their color-correction (Vivid Pics) off, and keep in mind that they do indeed take a little bit off around the edges - their books are great!
I like the quality they have in their paper, the end-pages and their covers!
Here's a link: Italy 2007
Update, May 13th:
My book is featured in the Shutterfly Gallery!!!
Thank You - All of You - who has been kind enough to leave me comments there or just bothered to follow the link!
I think the traffic you've caused to my book made Shutterfly notice it!

Your positive comments and support means the world to me!
I'm trying to scrap my life up to date... LOL!
That's why I'm not uploading too many LO's here at the moment. Just getting all the credits sorted would take too much time...
Right now I've done almost 90 pages of a 200-page book on 2006, I've started a book on my Santorini-trip last fall (planning to give it to my friend when we go on our next trip together in September), I'm halway through a book on my sister's best friend's wedding, and I'm still working on my Africa-book from our trip in 2007!
Those are just my on-going projects - I have several more planned...
So, even if it might not show in the gallery - I'm scrapping up a storm at the moment!!!

I just happened to find someone here who has a printing business and he can stitchbind books. I gave him one of my kids yearbooks that was coming apart and I'm anxious to see how he fixed it.
Anyway, that might be an option for some of you ladies with non-stitchbound books; see if you find a local printer who can do that for you.
Just my 2¢
ETA: I just went and looked at your book - ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! Gorgeous!! It gave me quite a few ideas- what a piece of work, Thess.....

you will recall that trip and only remember the "good days", I know! My mom was able to visit Rome before she
passed, and always recounted her trip with enthusiasm and joy. You have brought that same attitude to your special
book of memories. I cannot wait to go myself, someday!
I hope you will bring your book to SLC so I can "see it" for real, after watching it's assembly page by page.... wonderful job! It brought
tears to my eyes to page thru the shutterfly version!

Christmas Tree Pickup This Week
Posted By News On @ 5:54 am In Today's Local News | Comments Disabled
The City of Washington's maintenance department will begin picking up Christmas Trees this week. Trees can be placed at street corners or on terrace areas. The city asks homeowners not to block in fire hydrants or obstruct visibility. The trees can also be taken to Central Park and placed in the fenced area at the southeast corner. Anyone interested in using the trees for animal or aquatic habitats are encouraged to do so.

Well, Santa (aka Hubby) must have thought I had been a very good girl this past year. He gave me a Canon EOS Rebel T3 camera. It also came with 2 lenses - EF-S 18-55mm f/2.5-5.6 IS II and EF75-300mm f/4-5.6 III
To say I am in well over my head is an understatement. My "experience" with cameras have been the Olympus Digital StylusTough point and shoot camera and other type of point and shoot cameras. I've always wanted a really good camera so that I could get some great action shots. After looking over the manual, I am thinking I need to find a class or someone with experience to teach me how to use my new camera.
Lots of you have posted camera info and I'm going to go back and search for those threads. Meantime, if anyone has any suggestions or tips on how to make my new ownership of a terrific camera go well, I'd appreciate it!!
Merry Christmas!!!

Adopt a dog or cat in search of a forever home
Our Sanctuary in Kanab, Utah, is home to more than 1,600 animals including dogs, cats, horses, burros, birds, rabbits, pigs and more. Most of them are soon ready to go to good homes with permanent or foster families, making way for new arrivals.
Many of our cats/dogs can be flown to major airports across the U.S. and Canada. Because some of our animals have special needs (either behaviorally and/or medically), we ask that interested adopters come to Kanab, Utah, to meet/adopt them.
Help save lives by adopting your next pet from our Sanctuary and check out our April Earth Day adoption special.

Sighted Red Leader X-wing at Glen Burnie Toys R Us, but I passed. I only wanted the figure(which, frankly wasn't anywhere near as nice as Dutch Vander or POTF Luke), but not for 29.99 plus tax. 1 beat-up silver CT on pegs...dept. head said somebody stole a bunch. That figures! All 4 Red Leaders there at 10:30 this am.
"In my experience there's no such thing as luck."
Wheaton TRU has their Silver Clones (I'd say 15 or so) on the pegs along with about 50 each of CW Ani & CW Yoda. Wheaton Mall Target had 1 Ack Med Whatever & that's about it. What a wasted lunch break
And Cherry Hill Road Target in SS had zippo as well.
Annapolis TRU got their Red Leaders and Silver Clones. I figure, hey, get the first, and the second's free -- good deal.
I would like to echo the common sentiment that the Red Leader figure is pathetic compared to all of the other, recent pilot figures (Dutch, POTJ Luke, Porkins, Biggs, etc.).
ClearNinja2000, have you bought the Red Leader? Can you confirm if the helmet comes off or not? Are Red Leader's hands strangely sculpted? Is there any feature about this figure that would have prevented them from calling it a Luke Skywalker figure or any other X-wing pilot for that matter? What makes it RED LEADER?
Originally Posted by Droid

If you remember all the in-flight scenes in the attack of the Death Star, all the pilots had different decorations on their helmets. Wedge's was mostly green, Biggs had the checkerboard, one guy had what looked to me like balck and red tiger stripes, etc.
To sum up, Hasbro took a really bad looking figure and slapped a little paint on it to make it loosely resemble the guy from the movie. They packed this with a rehash vehicle that comes with a cardboard R5 unit and they expect us to buy it. If the figure was detailed like Gold leader, I would gladly plunk down my $30 for this toy, but released as it is I can't see many of these being sold.

Levinson, professor of religious studies at the University of North Carolina-Greensboro, will present a lecture titled "Bernstein, Rorty and West: Reflections From a Festive Jewish Naturalist" at 4:30 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 12, in Dodds Auditorium, Robertson Hall.
He will discuss the views of three contemporary thinkers associated with American pragmatism: Richard Bernstein, Richard Rorty and Cornel West. Bernstein, the Vera List Professor of Philosophy and dean of the graduate faculty at the New School for Social Research, is the author of books such as "Beyond Objectivism and Relativism" (1983) and, most recently, "Radical Evil: A Philosophical Interrogation (2002)." Rorty, formerly the Stuart Professor of Philosophy at Princeton, is currently a professor of comparative literature at Stanford University. Rorty's "Philosophy and the Mirror of Nature "(1979) did much to revive interest in American pragmatism.
West, the Class of 1943 University Professor of Religion at Princeton, argued in "The American Evasion of Philosophy" (1989) for a novel interpretation of the pragmatic tradition. He will speak as the respondent to the lecture.
The event, designated as the Malcolm Diamond Memorial Lecture, is sponsored by the Department of Religion .

© estate of Fred Williams
In the late 1960s Williams was experimenting with a range of new ways of thinking about the landscape. Minimal landscape no. I relates to his Australian Landscape series and goes beyond reference to a particular regional location to a wider sense of the country as a whole.
The work was painted around the time when various forms of abstraction including Minimalism were of interest to a younger generation of artists. Always open to new ideas, Williams recognised the potential of a minimal response to landscape in the way that the application of very small dots in space could increase a sense of the magnitude and spaciousness of the landscape. He once described his increasingly sparse approach during this time as a process of allowing his pictures 'to breathe'.

I admit, even though I'm vain, I am not exactly a Makeup guru. Neither do I think my make up skills are fantastic so don't expect too much from me. But what I am with this post, is to share what I have observed over my years of cosplays. Introduction to Make Up that works best for cosplay and photographs.
1. Moisturiser
It is essential to remember that makeup is not meant to be good for the skin. No matter how organic and miraculous the manufacturer claim they are, it is something foreign to the body. So never apply foundation directly to the skin without at least a moisturiser to bar them off.
Moisturisers are also good for hydrating the skin, giving it the moisture boost it needs before cosplay. The key is to find a moisturiser that suits your skin.
If you can afford, a make up base would be a good inclusion. The base can help to provide the makeup with a smooth canvas.
2.Foundation & Concealer
The most important thing in makeup. Especially important for trying to pass off as perfect 2D character with no flaws on their skin. Foundation comes in a few format, liquid, cream and powder.
All in all, finding the right foundation is a tricky business but it all boils down to your personal needs. Do you have dry or oily skin? Do you need little coverage or a lot? These are the questions you should ask yourself before your purchase. I am no Make Up guru so I suggest you do your own research about it.
Also important is to get your colour tones right. Asians usually have olive/yellow undertones. It can get really silly and embarrassing when you use the wrong colour tones (pink undertone for asian skin looks weird). But that said, some cosplayers like to get foundations that are lighter than their actual skin tone to fake a lighter, more camera friendly skin colour. Which is totally fine in the context of cosplay, just that you probably won't have the chance to use that foundation outside of the hobby.
Also important would be concealer. Concealer is a type of makeup used to hide imperfections on the skin.And as we all know, nobody has perfect skin especially not cosplayers who are usually up the whole night slogging over their costumes. Find the right concealer can also be a tacky problem so make sure you do your research before your purchase.
3.Black eye liner
I personally prefer liquid eyeliner because the colours are more lasting and intense. As I have deep cut eyelids, pencil liners can't even last me 5minutes before they start smudging.
So even though liquid liners are more difficult to use, it is still my liner of choice. If pencil eyeliner works for you, just go a head and use them!
Black is my recommended colour because cosplay makeup is all about drama on the eyes. Brown just won't cut it for my Asian features.
4. Eye shadow
Many cosplayers try to get away with just eyeliner but it usually gives an overly harsh effect. Eye shadow can help to give the eyes a little more contour and depth and soften the look. It is also the most interesting part of make up!
As 2d characters usually look like they have no make up on, brown or neutral shaded eye shadows are the most useful colours for cosplays. They are also the easiest to apply imho.
If possible, get 2 - 3 of the brown/ neutral shade so you can play with gradients and shadows. If you don't wear makeup regularly, it might be good to just get/buy sample sized products. Especially with pigments, you can go really far with a tiny amount.
5. Fake Lashes
Because they make a hell of a difference. I've become so attached to them that I would rather not cosplay if I don't have them =(
These are my personal collection by the way. And I'm sure they have grown….
6. Eye Lash Glue
I found out the hard way this is one product you can't skimp. Forget the drugstore stuff or for Singaporeans, forget that glue from Chameleon/Aries/Sinma.
My personal recommendations are Duo Adhesive and the freebie lash glue from TheFaceShop. I started with Duo Adhesive and has always been happy with It's performance. Then I went to Korea, got a few pairs of lashes from TheFaceShop and fell super in love with the glue. Imho, they are even stickier than Duo but half as viscose
Yes, I'm hella lucky to find a photo with just the 2 of them in it. Thanks to Ashley =)
7.Lip balm
As I have mentioned in the video, Anime characters usually don't look like they have any lipstick on, so that is one part you can skip, depending on your character.
But remember to at least invest in a lip balm. As Cosplay will require you to take a lot of photos, it is essential to make sure your lips are not dry or chapped. A cheap alternative is Vaseline.
8. Blush
This is an optional product but highly recommended if you are doing feminine characters. Personally I can't live without blushers or bronzer but if you're one of those lucky people who doesn't look washed-out without them, then by all means skip it.
To draw an example, this is my Idamaria cosplay makeup, in and out of costume.

By NEMS Daily Journal
Recycling manufacturing buildings is as important in economic development as recycling consumer products for a different, perhaps better use, than the first time around.
The Town of Belmont will become the beneficiary of industrial recycling when Comfort Revolution, a New Jersey-based manufacturer of high-end sleep, began Monday making its products in the 432,650-square-foot building formerly occupied by Schnadig Furniture Corporation.
The project, which has been under discussion for months, will create 200 jobs within three years. The company and the Mississippi Development Authority made a formal announcement on Monday.
Company officials said the former furniture plant and Belmont fit its specifications for locating its manufacturing in the Southeast.
"We looked at sites throughout the southeast for the new plant but were most impressed with Belmont," said Comfort Revolution founder and CEO Michael Fux. "The outstanding quality of the workforce in Tishomingo County and the community's support made us conclude this is the best spot for our investment. We've wanted for a long time to produce products in the United States, and we're eager to get started."
The development authority, an arm of government operating within the executive branch, facilitates many kinds of economic development investments, ranging from auto manufacturers like Toyota to smaller firms like Comfort Revolution. Its goal is good jobs.
MDA provided assistance in support of Comfort Revolution through the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program, and Tishomingo County provided assistance for the project, as well.
Comfort Revolution describes itself as a "leading developer and marketer of mattresses, mattress toppers and pillows. The company's products are made with premium memory foam and Hydraluxe gel technology."
Comfort Revolution will join several other mattress and sleep product manufacturers in the region. Some but not all are in some way linked to the region's furniture industry. The Belmont plant, company officials said, will introduce some new products.
MDA, in working with regional, municipal and county development organizations, has proven an able "closer" for many investments. It has been involved since 2010 in at least 33 new or expanded existing investments statewide, several in Northeast Mississippi.
MDA, as is the practice with most development organizations, remains tightlipped about its work until a success is ready for announcement. Its work proves the value of government involvement in private-sector development, regardless of the size.

The Subcommittee on Coast Guard and Maritime Transportation will hear an argument that foreign carriers should not be permitted to collectively negotiate rates with domestic maritime service providers because it gives them an unfair advantage.
The Pacific Maritime Association has proposed extending the contract until July 1, 2022, with a 3.1 percent yearly wage increase over the base wage rate of $42.18 per hour.
The North Liberty, Iowa-based trucking and logistics company reported a net income of $14 million and operating revenues of $130 million for the first quarter of 2017.
Registration takes less than 1 minute.
Falling costs and the value of data are spurring renewed interest in physical asset tracking in container logistics.
Shippers, carriers and terminals swapped accusations in their filings with the Federal Maritime Commission that their positions on detention and demurrage charges are being mischaracterized.
The German ocean carrier is citing benefits from its planned merger with United Arab Shipping Company, but Reuters has reported a "snag" in those plans.

Hi, I recently picked up a leftover permit for zone 3 and was wondering if you guys know some decent public hunting ground that holds turkeys in the fall.
I have looked on the DNR website's list of grounds and noticed they mention if turkeys may be present, but not how common they are in each spot in relation to each other. I figured you guys might have some more insight.
I have been out a few times and managed to find some feathers but that's about it, no tracks or scratchings. Yet to see or hear a bird.
Any tips would be much appreciated!

Argh!!! I was in the middle of updating the Suneido website when the server started giving errors and I couldn't finish the update. Now stuff is "broken" and I can't fix it! DataPipe hosts our site, and for the most part they've been pretty good, but it's frustrating in this kind of situation to have to wait for their tech support to get around to looking at the problem. I'm tempted to set up our own server but I'm not sure our internet connection is up to it. We're in a research park so the bandwidth is shared. Can't really afford to get our own dedicated connection. Maybe someday.
I was feeling pretty good about things before this happened. The site has been up for over a year, and I've managed to average a release every month. And so far the releases have all been pretty fair quality, IMO.
Progress is always slower than I'd like, but I don't really feel like working more than the 60 or 70 hours a week I already put into it. Suneido has attracted a few regular small-scale contributors, but so far no one else has really got involved in a major way. Not that I had any naive notion that masses of open source developers would immediately flock to the project. "If you build it, they will come." doesn't really apply! There are a zillion open source projects and so far, obviously, Suneido hasn't convinced anyone it's worth major investments of time. Maybe that'll come, and maybe not. In the meantime, I'll keep plugging away. I just hope our website comes back!

Woman dragged into north Spokane home at knifepoint
SPOKANE, Wash. - Police responded to several 911 calls of a woman being dragged into a north Spokane home at knifepoint Thursday morning.
When police got to the home, located near Montgomery and Calispel, they found a man in the front yard with a gun in his waistband. He was uncooperative, so officers held him at gunpoint until he would cooperate.
Police searched the home, and while they didn't find the victim they did find drugs and weapons.
Two people were arrested on outstanding drug warrants.
"We did recover both a Taser stun gun and well as realistic looking, metal BB gun that appears to be a real handgun," Commander Brad Arleth with the Spokane Police Department said.
A neighborhood conditions officer said they plan to evict the tenants from the rental home.

Baruffio's wife

|"Are you a wizard or not?"
The title of this article is conjectural. Although it is based on canonical information, the actual name is conjecture and may be supplanted at any time by additional information released from canonical sources. If this occurs, please move this page to the appropriate title.
This individual was the wife of wizard Baruffio. Once, while trying to conjure furs for his wife, Baruffio mispronounced the spell, leaving her with a buffalo on her shoulders.
Behind the scenesEdit
- "N'oubliez jamais le sorcier Baruffio qui avait un défaut de prononciation et dont la femme s'est retrouvée avec un bison sur les épaules au lieu d'un vison."
- —Filius Flitwick.[src]
- In the original English version of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, Baruffio mispronounces "s" instead of "f" and ends up with a buffalo on his chest. On the French translation, Baruffio's incident is slightly different. It introduces another character: Baruffio's wife. Quoting from the French translation: "N'oubliez jamais le sorcier Baruffio qui avait un défaut de prononciation et dont la femme s'est retrouvée avec un bison sur les épaules au lieu d'un vison". (Loosely translated: "Remember wizard Baruffio who had a speech impediment and whose wife was left with a buffalo on her shoulders instead of a mink".). The translator, Jean-François Ménard, plays with the alliteration "bison"/"vison" ("buffalo"/"mink"). As it is usually women who wear furs, the introduction of a female character was necessary. This change in translation is maintained on the French language version of Pottermore when Baruffio is mentioned in the entry for The Standard Book of Spells, Grade 1.

Patty Duke's Third Act
COEUR D'ALENE, Idaho - Winning an Oscar is a dream for every actor who makes a movie. For one woman in North Idaho, it was a reality 50 years ago. And, as she enters her third act, the woman the world knows as Patty Duke is looking back on that historic night in 1963.
"The feeling I had was being in awe," she says, remembering that magical Hollywood night. "Bette Davis was there, Gregory Peck..."
In the midst of those legends sat a 16-year old girl, given name Anna Duke, who was about to become one herself. She was up against Hollywood heavy hitters like Angela Lansbury. A novelty because of her young age, Duke was an icon already because of the role for which she was nominated.
"The role itself - the dominating spirit of Hellen Keller as a child," Duke says, describing her role in The Miracle Worker. "The rage that is inside, because she's trapped in there. She exists. She's not just deaf, dumb and blind - there's a soul in there!"Patty Duke's Third Act
Her performance made Oscar history. When Oscar winner George Chikiris called her name, Duke became the youngest winner in Oscar history.
"If I had known then, I would have thought it was an out of body experience," Duke recalls. "I remember that I got all flushed. From my knees to the top of my head, it was all flushed and feverish."
She's since watched the clip of that historic win and describes her younger self.
"I love the emotion I see in that little girl, I hate the hair - and, I hate the dress."
When she finally got on stage, she kept it short and sweet. Her acceptance speech? A simple "thank you."
"I've been told my acceptance speech is among the most brief... in the history of the academy.
It was the end of a brilliant first act for a child actor turned rising star. But, when you win an Oscar at 16, what in the world do you do for an encore?
For Duke, it was television. Her next big role was the TV show which bore her name. She played the two starring roles on The Patty Duke Show.
"A lot of people thought it was a shame that I went to TV, but when you're 16 in 1960, there aren't many other places to go. So, we went into the tv series, that led into the television movies I did and I found a home there."
She was always busy, always working. But, the second act was marked more by darkness than success. Starting at age 19, Duke began suffering from extreme highs and violent lows. Though she wasn't diagnosed until she was 35, Duke lived with the shame of manic depression.
Before she got help, that disease brought out a dark side and led her to damage an old friend.
"There were times when I would get very violent. And, I was in an argument with my then-husband," she recalls. "Oscar was there and I was in a rage - and, I threw it. Not at him, but close by. And, of course, Oscar wound up in pieces. And, the shame... God forbid, anyone would ask me about Oscar."
In 1987, Duke gained the strength to share her diagnosis with the world. She wrote a book, detailing her struggle with mental illness; it finally lifted the shame.
"It was the first time a celebrity had come forward about it. It was, for me, a breakthrough."
She still spreads that message today, advocating for mental health and speaking to groups large and small. She's doing her part to erase the stigma of mental illness. And, the light has come back for act three. She's found life and love in Coeur d'Alene.
"When people say, 'you're just here in the summer, right?' I'm very offended! I go through the winters here just like everybody else."
Duke met Silver Valley native Mike Pearce on a movie set years ago. He was a real-life drill sergeant, tasked with preparing movie star Patty for a role. They fell in love, of course, and when it was time for a break from Hollywood, he brought his new wife back home to Idaho.
"It was supposed to be for a few years," she says. They've been here now for nearly 24.
Idaho is home now, but she does miss the work that comes more easily when you're close to Hollywood. You don't just give up being a movie star, after all.
"I would like to be doing anything," she says. "The gift doesn't die. It just takes different forms. The times I've been asked to play a grandma, I'm thrilled to get the job."
She's a real-life grandma, too. She has grandchildren in Idaho and in California. Her children have done very well for themselves. Her son, Sean Astin, is a bonafide star himself. And, she always has the companionship of an old friend named Oscar.
"He's out here now because you're here," she says of that statue she won so many years ago. "Normally he's in the kitchen, holding up the cookbooks. Next to the fish tank!"
Even after 50 years, he still looks good. He's whole again, thanks to the Academy.
"I have no idea if they put the pieces back together again, but its analogous my own journey. I was very broken. And it took much longer than it did for Oscar to make me whole again. That's what symbol he is to me."
It's the symbol of an historic career and the reasons she's now hearing from fans around the world.
"You know what's funny? None of them seem like strangers. When they write, I try to twitter back."
Yep, the great Patty Duke is on Twitter. She reaches out now to 10,000 fans who adore her, 140 characters at a time.
"That makes me feel so good!"
Talk about a career, coming full circle. This year's winners can only hope to sustain such adulation five decades after taking Oscar home.
"They come from Australia, Austria - how do they even know I exist?" she asks.
Then, to Oscar, with whom she's been through so much, she says simply, "This could have something to do with it. You're a good guy."

State police work the scene of a fatal accident near Sulphur on Friday. (James Anderson, State Police / Special to the American Press)
Last Modified: Saturday, December 15, 2012 5:37 PM
A 67-year-old Texas man died following a five-vehicle pile-up Friday afternoon north of Sulphur, state police said.
Sgt. James Anderson said the accident happened in the northbound lane of La. 27, where traffic was backed up at the Houston River Road intersection.
A Ford F-350 truck driven by 36-year-old Steven Horner, of Westlake, rear-ended a motorcycle driven by Richard Nogle, of Newton, Texas, and continued into the back of another truck, which in turn struck two more vehicles, Anderson said.
Nogle sustained fatal injuries as a result of the crash and was pronounced dead at the scene by the Calcasieu Parish Coroner's Office. All of the other drivers involved in the crash were wearing seat belts and each sustained minor injuries.
Toxicology samples were obtained for analysis. The crash remains under investigation and charges are pending against Horner.
Nogle was the sixth motorcyclist to die in a crash investigated by Troop D this year, Anderson said.
"Inattentive and distracted driving is dangerous and is a leading cause of crashes in our state," Anderson said. :It is important for motorists to pay attention to what is going on outside of the vehicle they are driving. More information on distracted driving may be found online at the federal government's official distracted driving website, www.distraction.gov.

Head: Red rabbit strip, 3/16 to 1/4 inch wide (cross cut is preferable), wound around the hook
1. Wrap the entire hook shank with the thread front to rear.
2. Get a white rabbit strip about 4 1/2 inches long, split the hair leaving a front tag of about 1 1/2 inches long and tie the "tail" portion of the strip onto the hook at the bend. Make 3 to 5 solid wraps, making sure to "form" the strip around the hook shank. Wind the thread to about 1/4 inch back of the hook eye. The tail should be about 3 to 3 1/2 inches long.
3. Wind the remaining 1 1/2 inch tag of white rabbit strip around the hook shank towards the front, stop about 1/4 inch from the hook eye, pull the fur backwards on each wrap to avoid clumping and create overlapping fur. Tie this down and trim off any excess, this usually gives 3 to 4 wraps.
4. Tie in the Krystal flash on top of the fly, don't use too much because it always gets stuck in the pike's teeth...
5. Tie in the red rabbit strip. Wrap 2 to 3 turns of the cross cut strip and split the fur to tie off. Cut the remaining portion of the strip off.
6. Whip finish and lacquer the head.
This fly is a creation of my good fishing buddy with some refinements from me, it imitates a wounded whitefish, I think?..Pike really like this one slow in lakes. Fish it very slowly, dry line in water up to 8 feet deep, sink tip (short sink tip=5 feet of type 4 sink rate) in deeper water up to 15 feet. Use a 10 to 12 inch long wire tippet tied onto a 6 to 8 foot piece of 12 or 14 pound mono line. Let the fly sink so that it rests on the bottom or near the bottom, make very short jerky strips (3 to 5 inches) until you retrieve most of your line. The take is often subtle if the fly is far away, and can be violent as you slowly raise the fly line and fly to get your next cast away. This approach seems to get bigger fish rather than small ones. In rivers, use a sink tip line and "swing" the fly erratically by making short violent strips and then upstream mends to cause the fly to change direction.
Hooks are debarbed because pike will fight real hard and build up lactic acid really fast. Quick releases are important...use a 9 wt rod so that you can bring the fish in quickly to a "cradle" rather than a nylon net. Barbless + cradle = your fingers stay away from the mouth of these toothy critters and it is easy to turn the hook over for the release.

Free trade | 5 years ago | May 18, 2001 | Michael Endelman traced back the file-sharing phenomenon to the tape-trading community.
"Contrary to what the media would have you think, music sharing didn't begin with Napster. It originated in the tape-trading community. Unlike bootleggers, who sell illicit live recordings and rare studio outtakes, or CD pirates, who just hawk low-budget knockoffs of commercial releases, tapers share their recordings of live shows gratis; they make copies for friends, fellow collectors, and even complete strangers. Recordings are exchanged, but never sold: this is the cornerstone of the purist and staunchly anti-commercial taper philosophy, and the number-one rule of tape trading.
"Now, as Napster begins to crumble under pressure from the recording industry, the tape-trading community continues to grow, free of the legal pressures that plague bootleggers, CD pirates, and online file traders. Bringing together the sonic fanaticism of audiophiles, the breathless promotion of fanzine scribblers, and the obsessive tendencies of archivists and museum curators, tapers see themselves as defenders of American music culture — collecting, cataloguing, and disseminating a body of music that would otherwise be lost forever. And although critics (and some record labels) say that tape trading encourages bootlegging and hurts CD sales, the taper community points to the success of artists like the Dave Matthews Band and Phish, who allow fans to tape their concerts and distribute the recordings, to prove otherwise."
Buttoned-up | 10 years ago | May 17, 1996 | Ellen Barry discovered the world of vintage jeans to be full of secrets.
"Ask how, or where, they find their stock, and vintage-denim dealers tend not to comment. Anywhere east of the Mississippi is commonly acknowledged to be a button-fly wasteland — zippered jeans were invented for New England winters, and old 501s are few and far between — but further information falls into the category of trade secrets. Press for specifics and you'll end up with a very nervous dealer on your hands.
" 'We can't divulge that information,' says Lisa Leaverson, who buys vintage for Urban Outfitters in Philadelphia.
" 'They don't tell me. Even if I knew, I wouldn't be able to tell you,' says a manager in Urban Outfitters' Newbury Street store, looking wary. 'Things like that are sacred.'
"In an industry that keeps its secrets to itself, Bobby Garnett has been one of the quietest for the longest. The word along Newbury Street is that no one, but no one, finds more denim. 'I heard he found Big Es for $20,' breathes Mercedes Roman, who is 19 and works as a clerk at the Boutique Unique. 'He's been in it for so long that it's his whole life,' says Strutters clerk Jay Sabatino, 25, with obvious reverence."
Making peach | 15 years ago | May 17, 1991 | Robert Morris found that Jimmy Carter had come to terms with his political fate.
"Today, almost 11 years after losing the 1980 presidential race to Ronald Reagan, amid reports that the Reagan-Bush campaign may have negotiated with Iranian officials to keep 52 Americans hostages until after the 1980 election, Carter says he believes a member of his own National Security Council betrayed him by leaking information to the Republicans.

Which Nano Reef aquarium setup? (biocube, Red Sea MAX, Nano Cube, etc.)
First of all I am a new comer to saltwater aquariums, although I have kept freshwater for around 3 years now. I want to start a little smaller and less expensive so I am going to be purchasing a nano reef. I am stuck between these options:
Red Sea MAX 34 Gallon
(Seems a little expensive IMO)
Oceanic 29g BioCube HQI Aquarium System
Nano Aquarium Systems & Aquarium Kit: Oceanic 29 gallon BioCube HQI Aquarium System
(looks nice, but the filter doesn't seem to be as powerful as the nano cubes)
Nano Cube, CF-QUAD (what is the difference between this one and the regular nano cubes?)
]Nano Cube Reef Aquarium Kits: JBJ Lighting Nano Cube 28-gallon CF-QUAD\
28 Gallon Nano Cube LED Intermediate Series
Nano Aquarium Systems & Aquarium Kit: JBJ 28 Gallon Nano Cube LED Intermediate Series Aquarium(looks nice)
In your opinion which is best, what are your reasons? In other words which one do you suggest for a beginner saltwater aquarist?
Please state your reasons! Thank you :)
I suggest none of the above. Plug and plays seem atractive for sure but down the roadwhen there usually sub par systems start too fail you are stuck with having to use the same sub par parts for replacement. I suggest research into buying the equipment piece by piece and get what you want the first time around.
I have heard many good things about the Red Sea Max set ups,
I had an Oceanic Biocube and it was crap. The ballasts for the lighting systems went kapoot in less than 6 months. What was even worse was that the customer support from them was non existent.Sailor
Aye Aye
I have a Bido 24 Cube and am having fantastic results and I am very happy with it. All the parts easily replacable, 3 large compartments in back of the tank. I got mine with stand for $199.00...With weekly water changes, I do not believe you need a protien skimmer for a unit as small as 24 gallons... Mine is thiving with a Manderin Goby and cleaner shrimp...
Terrible picture but gives you the idea. I got mine from Big Al's...

text: But POLITICO did confirm the governor has hired former Romney campaign manager Jill Neunaber to help run the new 501(c)(4). Curt Anderson, a confidant and political consultant at On Message, Inc. -- home of Jindal campaign strategist Timmy Teepell -- will also be involved in the nonprofit effort. http://www.nola.com/politics/index.s..._river_default Personally, I think Gov Walker is a better candidate. Though I will probably vote for the Libertarian candidate Gov Gary Johnson again

Cool. Several interesting stats. Romney got a small majority of college graduates (would be interesting to break that down a bit more into Scientists, Engineers, Ag majors and the like vs. History, Poly Sci, other "arts" etc.). One would probably expect that those whose financial position has improved over the last four years might vote for Obama, and that the opposite would be true for those worse off, but why did Obama have an 18 point advantage with those whose situation was unchanged? Would like to see who was in the "financially better" group too (how many are in the private sector, how many in the public).
Here is a REAL big one: 38% of the electorate identified as Democrat, 32% as Republican, and 29% as independent. The independents determine the election and even though the Republicans got a slim majority there, it wasn't enough to overcome the initial advantage of the Dems. A crucial lesson here should be that if ALL the Democrats get out and vote and ALL the Republicans get out and vote, and we split the independents equally, the dems will win every time. Let me say that again: if ALL the Democrats get out and vote and ALL the Republicans get out and vote, and we split the independents equally, the dems will win every time. That's why driving the independents away is a real problem.
So would General Motors be a Government Job ? so does that make them Government Motors

but then you turn around and say the President doesnt open or close a business :confused:
More thought from more top Republicans:
Top Republicans say Romney didn't offer specifics
Associated Press
LAS VEGAS — Top Republicans meeting for the first time since Election Day say the party failed to unseat President Barack Obama because nominee Mitt Romney did not respond to criticism strongly enough or outline a specific agenda with a broad appeal.
In conversations at the Republican Governors Association meeting in Las Vegas, a half-dozen party leaders predicted the GOP will lose again if it keeps running the same playbook based on platitudes in place of detailed policies. Instead, these leaders asserted, the party needs to learn the lessons from its loss, respect voters' savvy and put forward an agenda that appeals beyond the white, male voters who are its base.
"We need to acknowledge the fact that we got beat," Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal said in an interview. "We clearly got beat and we need to recognize that."
Little more than a week after Romney came up short in his presidential bid, the party elders were looking at his errors and peering ahead to 2016's race. Some of the contenders eying a White House run of their own were on hand and quietly considering their chances. New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie scheduled a private meeting on the sidelines with Haley Barbour, the former Mississippi governor who is widely seen as one of the GOP's sharpest political operatives.
Other potential White House contenders such as Jindal, Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell and Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker were outlining a vision for the party in coming elections.
"We need to figure out what we did right and what we did wrong, how we can improve our tone, our message, our technology, our turnout — all the things that are required to win elections," McDonnell said. "We are disappointed, but we are not discouraged."
In the hallways at the conference, the governors and their top advisers uniformly blamed Romney's loss on an uneven communications strategy. They said Romney allowed himself to be branded a corporate raider who put the interests of the wealthy above those of middle-income voters.
"We didn't have effective means by which to counter the attacks the Obama-Biden campaign took against Mitt Romney and his team," Walker said. "I just don't think you can let that go unanswered."
Jindal, however, attributed Romney's loss to a lack of "a specific vision that connected with the American people."
"His campaign was largely about his biography and his experience," Jindal said. "But time and time again, biography and experience is not enough to win an election. You have to have a vision, you have to connect your policies to the aspirations of the American people. I don't think the campaign did that and as a result, this became a contest between personalities and — you know what? — Chicago won that."

Sickening. Now I heard on the radio that another Abortion Clinic in CA is being investigated for having an ambulance called out 3 times in one day.
I think there is more Gosnell's out there than ANYONE would like to admit.
I wonder why the MSM is avoiding this trial?
Anyone hear about Reese Witherspoon though????

It is not being reported in the media outlets because abortion rights are central to the ideology of many people. This behavior is symtompatic of our current political atmosphere, where most issues are viewed as "us against them". People refuse to look inwardly at their party, ideology, or other affiliations, and refuse to criticize or report on extreme incidents and behavior commited by enablers/implementers like this for fear of empowering the opposition. This is an extremely sick example and should be a wake-up call that civilized, sensible, and thoughtful political discourse is dead in this country. Protecting ideology trumps everything else, and the end justifies the means.

Any thoughts on why Foxnews and CNN are both silent on the Byron Smith case (charged with first degree murder for killing two burglars in his home). Why would two 24 hour news organizations (term applied loosely) who spend 50% of their time talking garbage not even mention the case?
I must admit I havent followed the trial closely and after reading the synopsis of the trial in USA Today I am sick to my stomach...

text: As you head out to sail on the Sea of Galilee from the pier Tiberias, Genesaret, Capernaum National Park or Ein Gev, the spray refreshes you, gulls wheel overhead, and other "sailors" call out greetings. But the highlight is when your captain cuts the motor and you're surrounded by landscapes sacred for thousands of years. In your wooden boat, resembling ancient ones, you feel you've gone back to a time when people depended on wind and waves for their livelihood and their miracles. Here, Jesus walked on the water (John 6:19-21), calmed a storm (Matt. 8:23-26), and showed the disciples miraculous catches of fish (Luke 5:1-8; John 21:1-6). Many Jewish visitors also take the lake trip, heading out to where tradition says Miriam the Prophetess caused a miraculous spring to appear. Ask your travel planner or hotel staff to make your boat-ride reservation during your Galilee stay.

He was probably paid half a million, and then his life was ruined. The kid is pretty fricked in the head, all because of Star Wars. He didn't make tens of millions or anything.
At some point he should have just clocked one of them and i bet it would have stopped but whatever

I just read an article about how that movie pretty much ruined Jake Lloyd's (Anakin Skywalker) life. It said ever since the movie came out, pretty much every star wars fan hated it and hated Jake Lloyd. They said it was the worst performance in movie history. Apparently all the kids at his school would constantly tease him about it every time he walked in the room.

Go UFA Paul Kruger from the Ravens with the same money ya were gonna use for Bushmaster. Then go OT Lane Johnson Oklahoma at #15.
If we use our 1st rounder to replace one of our best players, we've not improved at all. If youre lucky, its a wash.
I think you use you early round picks to address current weaknesses,and hopefully the depth built with mid/late round picks can step in if you absolutely cannot sign bushmaster.

It's going to be easier to find an adequate rush linebacker in the 3rd round than a LT.
We'd look real stupid trying to cut a few mill corners when drew gets destroyed in backfield
Free agent OLB Paul Kruger amassed just 1.5 sacks in six games ahead of Terrell Suggs' 2012 return from Achilles' surgery, before closing out the season with 7.5 sacks across the final eight games with Suggs in the lineup.
Kruger also had 4.5 sacks in Baltimore's four playoff wins, all with Suggs aligned opposite him. It's worth debating whether Kruger's production was at least partially a product of Suggs commanding increased defensive attention. We fully expect 26-year-old Kruger to command a massive free-agent deal, but the sack statistics suggest he's more of a complementary than franchise pass rusher.

Of course we need a DNS server out the outside under our control, that should not be difficult to accomplish. The client side may be a bit more of a challenge.
If anything I got the gears turning on this. And in theory just about anything is possible. I just need more time in the day to work on this. Unfortunately most of this has to be done when I am at home due to certain restrictions at work. If I come across something I'll be sure to update.

Ex-governor of Alaska and ex-vice presidential canidate who refuses to just fade away quitely- what with her book tours, TV deals, and that stupid "tea party". Continues to voice her opinion on everything as if her opinion really matters anymore.
Why won't Failin' Palin just shut up and go away already! She didn't win the vice presidency (thank goodness) and she's not even a governor anymore.

Start the day with a visit to Yad Vashem the Holocaust memorial, with its astounding new historical museum, Hall of Remembrance, Children's' Memorial and other moving sites.
Proceed to Ein Karem. This picturesque village is full of winding lanes, enchanting architectural features and lush green gardens. There are seven monasteries and convents inspired by various traditions at Ein Karem. It is said that John the Baptist was born here and that Mary drank from the Spring of the Virgin, still bubbling from a cave at an abandoned mosque near the center of the village.
Continue to the Israel Museum, home to the most important archaeological discovery of the 20th century – the Dead Sea Scrolls. An impressive model of Jerusalem in 69 CE sets the stage before entering the special shrine that contains the Scrolls. Stop at the square opposite the Knesset, to view Israel's legislature and see the magnificent bronze menorah with its carvings depicting the biblical history of Israel and Zechariah's immortal words "Not by might, nor by power but by My Spirit..." (4:6).
Finish the day with a visit to downtown Jerusalem's Ben Yehuda and Nahalat Shiva pedestrian malls and meet Jerusalemites over a cup of coffee or a local dish at a cafe or restaurant, or stroll the open-air fruit and vegetable market, Mahane Yehuda. (Ask at your hotel about optional evening tours).
Overnight in Jerusalem
