The Washington Post
WASHINGTON — For most people, once a year is enough for the cooking, togetherness and gut-busting feast of Thanksgiving.
Zach Patton and Clay Dunn have celebrated with friends and relatives twice a year since 2009. Patton, a senior editor at Governing magazine, and Dunn, online director at Share Our Strength, write the Bitten Word blog, for which they regularly test recipes from food magazines.
The Thanksgiving project started in 2008 after they first published a postmortem of the holiday dinner they had created from magazine recipes. The menu included a dry-brined turkey from Martha Stewart Living, Brussels sprouts hash with caramelized shallots from Bon Appetit and roasted potatoes with figs from The New York Times — not technically a magazine, but close enough.
They published their recap in early December. The hitch in that strategy: "Readers would have preferred to see those ahead of time," Patton said.
In 2009, the experimental meal shifted to late October and became a full-blown party for about 20, which the couple christened Fakesgiving. They borrowed the name from a friend who hosts a Thanksgiving eve meal.
Flash-forward to the menacingly cloudy Sunday before the arrival of megastorm (nee Hurricane) Sandy: Patton and Dunn found themselves scurrying down a fire escape here, past the dried special-effects blood from the previous night's pre-Halloween revelries, to retrieve a turkey from the grill in their back yard.
Even before tasting the bird (Cook's Illustrated), Patton, 33, and Dunn, 34, were pleased. Cooking the turkey outdoors freed up room in the oven to finish or reheat some of the other 18 items on the menu. "Yesterday was an eight-hour cooking day," Dunn said.
It was a kind of orderly chaos. A printout of an Excel spreadsheet organizing the food and prep schedule hung on the refrigerator door, a short distance from the stove, where Patton's mom, Brenda Lewis, stood over a pot of creamed greens (Martha Stewart Living).
"They are the impresarios," said Lewis, a retired college administrator from Tullahoma, Tenn., "and we are the sous-chefs."
Also assisting was Patton's sister, Cassidy Papadopoulos, in from Annapolis with her husband, Dean. She took the lead making the paprika-spiced mayonnaise to accompany Patton and Dunn's own fried Brussels sprouts — one of several dishes not from a food magazine.
Papadopoulos, who will host the family's actual Thanksgiving at her house, had to make the dip five times to get it right. First, it was too hot in the kitchen for the mayonnaise to set. Then the olive oil flavor was too pronounced. So it continued. Still, most everything was going smoothly by late afternoon as guests started to trickle in to the couple's airy apartment.
"They never seem flustered," said two-time Fakesgiving guest Ryan Fitzpatrick.
Not even when the introduction of wet Brussels sprouts into a Dutch oven caused hot oil to splatter up and onto Patton's dress shirt. Lewis swooped in to attack the stain, further adding to her accomplishments, which included putting together the flower arrangements and ironing the linens for the three candlelit tables in the dining room.
Unlike at other Thanksgivings, no one was asking when the food was going to be ready. Everyone knew the drill. The dishes needed to be photographed for future Bitten Word posts before they could be eaten. The freshly fried sprouts and pitchers of gin apple cider, another Patton and Dunn concoction, kept the guests occupied.
As the volume in the living room rose, perhaps proportionally to the volume of gin apple cider consumed, Dunn and Patton continued their work in the kitchen. They carved the turkey and sprinkled it with parsley. They artfully tossed pomegranate arils on a platter of winter squash with spiced butter (Bon Appetit) until the seeds not-so-artfully fell into one of the stove top's gas burners. They poured relishes and chutneys into trays and bowls of varying shapes.
One by one, the dishes took their places on makeshift buffet areas: an enclosed radiator and a low storage cabinet covered with butcher paper. Ratio-wise, the number of foods to try and mouths to feed was almost even. But Dunn wasn't worried about excessive amounts of food leading to many leftovers or stomachaches.
"This is more about tasting all the different things than getting disgustingly full," he said.
The key is to take small portions of everything and then go back for what you like the most, according to Sue Davis, a friend who has been at all four Fakesgivings.
That seemed to be the approach of all the guests, who tucked in after Dunn and Patton quickly ran down the roster of what they had made.
This year's magazine recipes came from eight sources: Fine Cooking, Martha Stewart Living, Everyday Food, Food & Wine, Cook's Illustrated, Bon Appetit, Food Network Magazine and Saveur. Patton and Dunn decided on their menu by shuffling recipe-name index cards.
"This is not how I would pick a menu" for most other occasions, Patton said.
The selections met with his mother's approval nonetheless. "In some ways, I think the dishes are more compatible than they have been in previous years," Lewis said.
"There's not a throwaway this year," said Drew Porterfield, who has been at the couple's Fakesgiving three times. "They're all pretty good."
Patton's sister wasn't surprised to hear how many people liked the sweet potatoes with bourbon and maple from Bon Appetit. She said she knew it was going to be good as soon as she started putting together its coffee-based glaze. She took particular pride, because it was the first time she got to be in charge of a dish from beginning to end.
Other success stories were less expected. Dunn and Patton had been prepared to pan a tortilla-chip-and-chorizo stuffing from Food Network Magazine. It turned out to be a sleeper hit. On the other hand, Saveur's oyster-and-sausage stuffing sounded better on slick paper; Dunn was not a fan of its fishy taste, while Patton said it probably didn't justify the $30 spent on its bivalves alone.
An informal poll turned up other favorites, such as Lewis' creamed greens, a mushroom-and-leek bread pudding from Ina Garten via Food Network Magazine and a dark, complex sorghum-sweetened chocolate pecan pie from Martha Stewart Living.
Then there were the Brussels sprouts, which more than one person compared to popcorn.
"I've stolen that already" for real Thanksgiving, Brian Johnson said.
Much like Bitten Word followers, Fakesgiving attendees look to Patton and Dunn's feast for inspiration. When asked about favorite dishes from previous years, the answer was nearly universal: The 2011 salted caramel six-layer chocolate cake from Martha Stewart Living. Eyes practically rolled back in ecstasy. Owen Ryan and Trevor McLaren enjoyed the cake so much they considered serving it at their recent wedding. In the end, they decided not to burden their caterer with the nearly half-day project.
Most of Patton and Dunn's friends have to read about the Fakesgiving taste tests on the blog like everybody else. It's a delicate dance deciding who gets to come, Dunn said. After all, if a regular can't make it one year and a newbie comes instead, who gets the seat next year? Several of this year's guests took pride in never having missed a party; others said they specifically arranged their plans to be able to attend.
"It's an amazing tradition," McLaren said.
He might have just secured his 2013 invite.

Bonds thoroughly enjoyed being among the 14 living members, including Hank Aaron and Bonds' godfather Willie Mays, who assembled the day before the 75th All-Star Game.
"Yeah, and there are some younger guys coming to make it more impressive. I just hope these guys are around to see it. There's going to be Alex Rodriguez and some other young players that are going to come up in a couple years," Bonds said.
"And 'Crime Dog' McGriff. He's close, isn't he?"
Fred McGriff is at 493, but so far this season has hit just two in a part-time role for the Devil Rays.
"Don't matter, man. You've got a whole second half. He could still come back another year and DH and walk away. You never know," Bonds said.
Alex Rodriguez has 367 home runs at age 28. Frank Thomas is behind McGriff at 436.
What's that, Honey? Bonds had his daughter, Aisha, with him at the Century 21 Home Run Derby.
"She said, 'You can't hit a home run every time,'" Bonds
said. "I said, 'Yes, I can.'"
But not this time. Miguel Tejada won.
Third timer: Bonds seems to dominate the All-Star scene and is on almost everyone's mind. Albert Pujols of the Cardinals is one of his fans.
"You don't often get the opportunity to play in an All-Star Game with Barry Bonds and I've got a chance to play [one] three of the four years I've been in the league," Pujols said.
Pujols, who has never batted second for the Cardinals, was in that spot Tuesday night.
"That's why it's the All-Star Game," Pujols said. "Anybody can hit second. Anybody can hit fourth or fifth."
Teammate Edgar Renteria, who usually bats second for the Cardinals, was in the National League leadoff spot for the second straight year. But the lineup was loaded.
"It's unbelievable when you see Jeff Kent hitting eighth," he said.
Cigar break: NL manager Jack McKeon has been so busy he's barely had time to enjoy one of his trademark cigars.
"I just walked to the park so I could have a good, long smoke and I'm going to walk back to the hotel tonight so I can have a good, long smoke," McKeon said.
McKeon, 73, is the oldest manager in All-Star history. Connie Mack was 70 when he guided the American League in the first Midsummer Classic in 1933.
This week's job has kept him hopping.
"I didn't realize the talent I'd have or all the extra duties I'd have," he said, "but I'd like to do it again."
You bet. That means you've been to the World Series.
Age on stage: The NL had three players over 40 -- Roger Clemens at 41, and Randy Johnson and Barry Larkin at 40.
Bonds? He'll turn 40 on July 24.
Last year the AL had three players over 40 with Clemens, Edgar Martinez and Jamie Moyer.
Final word: Ex-relief star Goose Gossage made a case here for more closers, even setup men, to go into the National Baseball Hall of Fame. Dodgers closer Eric Gagne agrees the role deserves more recognition.
"Baseball has been played for a long time, but a closer's role has been defined for, what, just 25 or 30 years? It hasn't been a long time but it's a little bit different," Gagne said.
"The longer we play the game, the more people are going to recognize that closers really are a big part of winning a ballgame. People have their own opinion on that and some of them don't think closers should get that much recognition. But I think when I step on the field I'm pretty important to the team."
Even if few other people recognize them, Gagne knows the set-up man is the secret to his success.
"That's the reason I'm out there on the field, because the guy in front of me did his job and that's really important," he said.
Gagne was hoping to have a shot at a save in this Midsummer Classic.
"Yeah, maybe face (Hank) Blalock again in the ninth inning," he said.
Last year, of course, the Rangers' Blalock drilled a two-run homer off Gagne to give the AL a 7-6 victory at Chicago's U.S. Cellular Field.

Jaymac - first of all, welcome to the forum! I'm afraid that most of us here in the U.S. would be hard pressed to advise you on Scottish agriculture. We do have some members located in France and (I believe) Scotland so perhaps they will read this and chime in.
If you can't fix it with a hammer, you've got an electrical problem.
My wife says I don't listen to her. - - - - - - - - Or something like that!
Don't know to much about peat either but,this should be interseting.Maybe I"ll learn something.I'd love to go to Ireland and Scottland.I think I'd better get a job first. Kevin

Cheers jaymac
When a question like your comes up from the US, the suggestion usually is made to check with the local agricultural extension service. Maybe the Scottish Ministry of Agriculture can provide some help.
I have a friend that comes from Wales and he says people used to bury thier dead in the bogs,that it would preserve the bodies like mummies.He also said some bogs are about the thickness of a mattress and float on water,so be careful.He says he never remembers anyone groing anything in them,just cutting peet for fuel or mulch and packing materials.

Farming the Sour Soil
In Maine we would try Blue Berries. I don't know if that is a big crop there, but I bet they or Cranberries or several other lowland type crops would do well. If not many people grow them it would be great produce to introduce.
Welcome Grear to hear about your farming there. Do you have any tractors? If so what are they?

Part of life is falling down, living is getting back up.
My sister and brother in law live in Scotland, but are in Africa for a couple of years... I could swing by and talk Cubs if I ever get over there.
I would say be careful on the dang hillsides, don't want any tractor tipping stories.

(this kind of references to a certain blogger in my top 10 of course)(hmm sounds kind of cheesy, doesn't it?)
So check out my list of 10 and the "2 words of the season" and my "3rd thought in the morning" (both very much DIY related!)
Ever since seeing the Miu Miu's, sparkles have been on my mind!
Glitter on the heels, glitter on the back of the shoe, the whole shoe glittered.. It's not only a great DIY for this season it's actually a lot of fun doing!
These are my favorite glitter shoe tutorials:
Diy Glitter shoes by Burda Style (they covered the fixating of the glitters as well!!)
Le fanciulle diy sparkly boots and glitter heel
DIY Glitter Converse by Love Meagan
My 3rd thought in the morning: (thought 1; Coffee, Thought 2; food)
(BLESS) jean pocket tutorial: Miss at la Playa
Shinni still has some of the best DIY's ever and shows us in very well made tutorials how to do it. Her DIY's are very well executed and are my absolute reference in how-to-go-about-things (like studding and ripping jeans) and that makes her my number 1.
2) Love Aesthetics
I really like the cut&sew DIY's and those Prada's are bloody Brilliant!!
So many good DIY's!! well executed and good tutorials!!
Love the collages and the studded trench is just asking to be made!
p.s. they even have a book!
9) Once the Foxy Man now Discount Universe
I still check the old posts from the foxyman on a regular basis, the finger tip glove diy is amazing and the blog is the best diy inspiration! The Discount Universe (blog and store) is also possibly the best inspiration out there when it comes to diy's! Best studded everything out there!! and if I had $$$ I would buy everything!
Also very well executed diy's that will come in handy for future projects, like the chain harness, chain collar necklace, the bunny ears and bracelet.
me :)
well I'm not really part of my own list..
diy miu miu tights
diy embellished tights
Of course there are blogs that should have made my list and didn't this time (stupid number 10)like Outsapop and Chic Steals which are massive DIY resources!! So check them out too!
ps. the person who counts the amount of the word "DIY" in this post gets a cookie ;)

Kris Allen - Kris Allen
On his third full-length album Horizons, singer/songwriter Kris Allen sharpens his songcraft and brings a more boldly openhearted spirit to his soulful brand of pop-rock than ever before. With his past work including a 2009 self-titled debut featuring the platinum-selling single "Live Like We're Dying," Allen's first independently released album finds him reaching a new level of sophistication in his melody-minded songwriting while fully tapping into his natural grace as a singer and guitarist. For Allen, Horizons began with the spontaneous writing of "Beautiful & Wild," one of the album's most gently powerful tracks. "That song came to me as I was falling asleep, and I got up and started writing and realized it was different from anything I'd ever done," says the 29-year-old Arkansas native of "Beautiful & Wild," a song partly inspired by the birth of his first child in the summer of 2013. "It wasn't trying to be a big pop song or to please anybody else—it just felt very organic and personal and straight from the heart, and that ended up shaping the rest of the record for me." After writing much of the material for Horizons at home on his front porch in Arkansas, Allen headed to Nashville to team up with Charlie Peacock (the Grammy Award-nominated musician/songwriter/producer who's previously worked with artists like Switchfoot, The Civil Wars, and Brett Dennen). Once he'd fine-tuned his songs with the help of Peacock and several other co-writers—and worked to weave together such elements as graceful R&B grooves, rootsy country/folk-rock riffs, and sublimely catchy pop hooks—Allen took to Peacock's studio, where Horizons was largely recorded live. "We did most of the songs in just a few takes instead of going through and making sure every single thing was completely perfect, which I think gives the album a different kind of energy than the records I've done in the past," says Allen. As Peacock points out, the ease of that live-recording process had plenty to do with Allen's pure talent as a performer. "His vocal phrasing and timing are the stuff of the great music of the last 50 years," Peacock says. "And his songwriting is similar, in that it's also natural and unforced and very much linked to the simpatico between his singing and guitar-playing." Still, Peacock encouraged Allen to take greater control over his artistry by pushing beyond his comfort zone and moving into previously unexplored territory, especially when it came to writing lyrics for Horizons. "One of the coolest things about working with Charlie was that he got me to write some songs that I was reluctant to write, but that turned out to be some of my favorite tracks on the album," says Allen. Among the topics that Peacock urged Allen to address: the serious car accident that he and his then-pregnant wife Katy suffered in January 2013, a head-on collision that left Allen with a broken arm and unable to play guitar for months on end. Drawing inspiration from beloved artists like James Taylor and Paul Simon, Horizons is built on intensely intimate and inward-looking songs that ultimately take on a universal dimension, thanks entirely to Allen's warmth and ingenuity. After opening with the bright guitar and breezy rhythms of "Young Love," the album encompasses everything from the beautifully moody piano ballad "Lost" to the handclap-driven and harmony-soaked pop escapism of "Everybody Just Wants to Dance." Tracks like the sweetly stomping "Don't Set Me Free" showcase Allen's soaring vocals, while "Prove It To You" features a smoldering, string-accented duet with Nashville songstress Lenachka. And on "Beautiful & Wild"—the quietly stirring, mandolin-kissed number that originally set Allen's songwriting in motion—Horizons sees Allen twisting melancholy into hope with lyrics like "There's probably no saving us/But I wrote this song to try." Lifelong passion for music has played a key part in helping Allen achieve such a richly textured selection of songs with Horizons. Born in Jacksonville, Arkansas, Allen grew up singing in church, learned to play viola at age eight, and quickly joined the all-state orchestra. "My dad was a singer and musician, so music was always a big deal in my house," Allen recalls. "When I was 13 I picked up my dad's guitar and started playing, and after that I never really stopped." Soon becoming obsessed with musicians ranging from Stevie Ray Vaughan to Stevie Wonder to Garth Brooks, Allen wrote his first song at 18 and self-released an album when he was 22. In summer 2008, he auditioned for the eighth season of American Idol and—after dazzling audiences with such performances as his keyboard-accompanied rendition of Bill Withers's "Ain't No Sunshine"—emerged as the season winner. With "Live Like We're Dying" premiering several months after his Idol victory and eventually climbing to the top 20 on the Billboard Hot 100, Allen followed up his self-titled debut with 2012's Thank You Camellia. While Allen acknowledges that his writing has become more refined and cohesive since he first started dreaming up songs as a teenager, he also notes that a certain dynamic has stayed with him through the years. "I've never been one to shy away from catchy songs with big choruses," he says. "I always want people to connect with my songs right away and sing along right from the first time they hear them." And with Horizons marking his first release since departing from the label system, Allen says he found a whole lot of joy in pairing that pop sensibility with uncompromising artistry. "There were times when I was nervous about doing this independently, but I stuck to my guns and made it on my own," he says. "It's been a totally new journey and there's so much more freedom to making music now. In the end I'm the one who has to be happy with the record and make something that means the world to me, and that's exactly what I did."

Hodges is really good. He is a 4-3 fit all the way but I said that about Navarro Bowman a couple of years ago. He would be a great pick in the third round and we can take Foster out on 3rd downs.Personally though, I rather draft a FS in the third and get a SLB in FA.
Ace Sanders decided to declare today. If no Tavon Austin or Bailey, I would LOVE to settle for Ace in the 4th round. Elite KR/PR and will do wonders from the slot position.
What is your point? I was wrong? Ok. You win. I was wrong.

NEW YORK — When reporters from the New Yorker, "NBC Nightly News with Brian Williams," "Good Morning America," the Associated Press and, yes, The Washington Post have all convened upon one event, it must be important. An appearance by the president. A press conference about dignified matters, with plenty of throat-clearing and questions taken at the end. Something worthy of those camera crews schlepping pounds of gear.
Nope! It's puppies, 63 of them to be precise — the stars of Animal Planet's ninth annual Puppy Bowl. Journalists spent two days writing about puppies and taking video of other people taking video of puppies. Come Sunday, many more of them will be tweeting about those puppies. And here those puppies are, being discussed in a five-page web article and the 80 column inches of paper that several trees died for, as some readers will be sure to remind us. And many of you may be rolling your eyes.
But the rest of you will eat it up, because puppies — these puppies especially — are so very cute. So cute that in the nine years since the Puppy Bowl first graced our screens, adorable has become a television genre, an Internet phenomenon and a cash cow for both. Cute cannot be dismissed.
And thank goodness it wasn't in 2005, when Animal Planet executives green-lighted a crazy idea: to film puppies playing football as counterprogramming to the Super Bowl. It may have sounded like a lark, but they said yes. And now they are reaping the rewards: The Puppy Bowl attracts a larger audience every year, with 2012's show attracting 8.7 million unique total viewers during the 12-hour marathon. It was the highest day of web traffic ever for Animalplanet.com, with 5.5 million page views and 1.4 million videos streamed. It also ranked No. 1 for social television in cable last year, and according to AdWeek, ad revenue is up 19 percent over last year.

How Couples Meet and Stay Together (HCMST), Wave I 2009, Wave II 2010, Wave III 2011, United States (ICPSR 30103)
Principal Investigator(s): Rosenfeld, Michael J., Stanford University; Thomas, Reuben J., City College of New York; Falcon, Maja, Stanford University
How Couples Meet and Stay Together (HCMST) surveyed how Americans met their spouses and romantic partners, and compared traditional to non-traditional couples. This study was conducted in three waves. During the first wave, information was gathered about both the respondent and their partner including age, level of education, parents' level of education, religion, and their political party affiliation. Respondents were queried on their relationship status (married, boyfriend/girlfriend, sexual partner, romantic partner) as well as the gender, ethnicity, and race of their current partner. They were also asked about their living arrangements with their partner such as whether they lived in a house, apartment, etc. Additionally, respondents were asked the country, state, and city the respondent and/or the respondent's partner resided in most from birth to age 16, whether the couple was currently living together or had ever lived together, and whether the couple attended the same high school, college/university, or grew up in the same town. Information was collected on the legal status of the relationship (marriage, domestic partnership, or civil union), the city/state where the partnership was legalized, and how many times the respondent had previously been married. Respondents were also queried about how often they visited with relatives, which gender they were most attracted to, their earned income in 2008, and the length of their current relationship. Finally, respondents were asked to recall how, when, and where they met their partner, how their parents felt about their partner, and to describe the perceived quality of their relationship. The second wave followed-up with respondents one year after wave 1, and information was collected on respondents' changes, if any, in marital status, relationship status, living arrangements, and reasons for separation where applicable. The third wave followed-up with respondents one year after the second wave, and collected information on respondents' relationships reported in the first two waves, again including any changes in the status of the relationship and reasons for separation. This version of the data is being released in two parts, with part one a public use and part two a restricted use. The public use release contains the addition of nine variables including demographic information such as race, household income, whether the respondent was born outside of the United States, whether their zip code was located within a rural area, and where the respondent spent most of his or her time living between birth and 16 years old. The restricted use version contains the previous variables as well as FIPS codes for state of marriage and state of residence, town or city where the respondent was raised, and variables revised by the Principal Investigator (Q24 and Q35), consisting of respondent answers to how they first met their partner and the quality of their relationship in their own words.

SOMERS, Conn. (AP) — Authorities say a man serving time for drug possession has died of an apparent suicide at a prison in Somers.
The Department of Correction says the 48-year-old man from Bridgeport had been serving a 3 ½-year sentence for possession of less than four ounces of marijuana or another controlled substance.
Authorities say staff conducting routine checks at the Osborn Correctional Institution found the man inside his cell around 3 a.m. Tuesday with a piece of bed sheet tied around his neck. Medical staff began life-saving measures, and he was taken to a hospital in Somers where he was pronounced dead.
The man had been alone in the cell.
The man entered the corrections system in June 2010. His name was withheld pending notification of family.

Thanksgiving: Friends, family, food, fire. Football.
And Fantasy Football.
If you're anything like a certain Patch editor, a portion of Thursday will be spent monitoring the progress of a one C. Johnson and a one A. Morris, all the while wondering why R. Gronkowski had to be on the field as the Patriots scored their 59th point against the Colts on Sunday.
But in addition to what has now become three NFL games on Thanksgiving Day, this time of year also brings with it football rivalries between schools at both the high school and collegiate levels.
Monroe's Masuk High School won't be playing on Thanksgiving, as they faced off against Newtown on Wednesday night.
But without further ado, here's a preview and listings for the three professional games on Thanksgiving Day:
—HOUSTON TEXANS (9-1) at DETROIT LIONS (4-6)
- CBS—12:30 p.m.
- Will Texans quarterback Matt Schaub follow up on his 527 passing yards (good for a tie for second most in NFL history)? Or will running back Arian Foster lead their offensive charge from the ground like he's done pretty much all season?
- Will Calvin Johnson prove to America he's still the best receiver in the game? Will the Lions, who've lost their last two games, end their losing ways?
—WASHINGTON REDSKINS (4-6) at DALLAS COWBOYS (5-5)

- How about Robert Griffin III? Is there anything he can't do? Coming off a four-touchdown performance last week against an abysmal Philidelphia Eagles team, the writer of this article can only hope A. Morris has more of a role in the Redskins offense during this week's NFC East showdown.

This writer won't pretend to know anything about college football—after all, recent alumuni from the University of Vermont weren't granted the opportunity to cheer for a football team which remains undefeated since 1974—so here's a list of some of the more prominent collegiate games analysts say are worth watching:

Visit the land of miracles - Galilee, the Jordan River, the Mount of the Beautitudes and Tabgha, or venture to Nazareth, home of the young Jesus. See the largest hanging gardens in the world at the Bahai Gardens of Haifa. The Panorama Center in Central Carmel offers some of the country's best women's clothing stores. For antiques and crafts, head to the boutiques on Massada Street. South of Haifa, the artists' village of Ein Hod offers hand-blown glass, pottery, silver, gold, and crafts. From French to Continental to Middle Eastern cuisine, dining choices abound. Fresh fish and grilled lamb dishes are the highlight. The best dessert is homemade kanafeh, a traditional ancient dish of baked sweet cheese, pistachio and honey.
As shore excursions to be offered in this port are not yet confirmed, below is a list of those offered previously. We make every effort to have excursions finalized at least 240 days in advance of sailing, and often sooner, so please check back regularly.
This comprehensive full day tour offers a wonderful opportunity for sightseeing in Jerusalem, one of the world's oldest continuously inhabited cities. Boarding your coach at the pier, you'll first enjoy a scenic drive from Haifa into the hauntingly stark Judean Hills, traveling along the same route used for centuries to reach Jerusalem.
The capital of Israel, Jerusalem is famous for its timeless beauty and was once considered the center of the world. As you navigate your way through this amazing city, you will pass some of Israel's most notable landmarks, such as the Hebrew University, home to 2005 Nobel Prize winner Professor Emeritus Robert J. Aumann, the Israel Museum, the Shrine of the Book, the Knesset (Israel's Parliament) and the State Supreme High Court.
From here you will continue on to Mt. Zion, lying to the south of today's city walls. Upon arrival, you will visit the Room of the Last Supper, where according to tradition Jesus' last meal with his disciples and the descent of the Holy Spirit took place. Located on the ground floor is the Tomb of King David, one of the places most visited and venerated by the people of Jewish faith. Next, it's on to the Dormition Abbey, a massive yet serenely beautiful structure topped by a high domed bell tower, a conical dome and corner towers. According to tradition, this Benedictine basilica is built over the place where Mary, the mother of Jesus fell asleep.
Your morning is capped off with a relaxing buffet lunch at a local hotel, and then it's time to begin your walking tour of the old city. Entering via the Jaffa Gate, your walk will take you past some of the most sacred sites in religious history. As you make your way along a route that flanks the colorful bazaar, you'll observe the Christian Quarter, which rests beside a part of the famous Via Dolorosa, believed by many to be the route Jesus followed as he carried his cross to Calvary. Amongst the sites you will view is the golden-topped Dome of the Rock. With its stunning blue and gold ceramic tiles, this amazing shrine is considered the third holiest site in Islam. You will also view the famous Western (Wailing) Wall, the holiest site in the Jewish world because it is believed to have been closest to where the Holy Ark once stood. A visit to the Church of the Holy Sepulcher is also included. Perched on the hill known as Golgotha, the Church marks the site of Jesus' crucifixion, burial and resurrection.
Re-joining your coach, you'll enjoy a drive past the city walls and through the Kidron Valley, viewing the Church of All Nations at the Gardens of Gethsemane, as well as the sacred churches on the Mount of Olives: the Church of Ascension, Pater Noster, Dominus Flevit and the Church of St. Mary Magdalene. A final panoramic view over Jerusalem's enchanting Old City is provided before it's time to travel back to the ship in Haifa.
Please note: The sights on this tour are not wheelchair accessible and therefore, it is not available to wheelchair guests. There is a substantial amount of activity, including strenuous walking and some steep steps to negotiate and is not considered suitable for those guests with mobility concerns. Lightweight clothing, caps and flat, comfortable walking shoes are suggested. When visiting the religious sites, your head must be covered and conservative attire is required.

Post subject: Recommend a Broadband Router?
Hi All,
The WiFi performance of my broadband router (Belkin F5D7630) at home has become distinctly flaky recently. The connection doesn't get reported as being dropped but that is the effect, as web pages stop loading and pinging computers on the internet fails. Connections via LAN are still fine. I am unaware of anything in our set-up or environment that has changed and could cause this. It is the same for every device we connect to it, so we are pretty sure it is the router. It is operating in a locally clear section (ch 4) of the 2.4 GHz band but I have no means of detecting non-WiFi radio noise. It is over 6 years old, so if it is failing, it has done its time and I'm considering a replacement.
My requirements are: Built in ADSL modem, Gigabit LAN ports and good WiFi performance. Preferably, I'd like: Concurrent 5 GHz band operation and USB printer sharing.
I'm thinking of a Netgear DGND3700v2 N600, as it meets all the criteria and it reviewed well (good WiFi performance) in a British computer mag that has a strong hardware slant. However, for just about every model of router, there seems to be a significant number of people on retailer and technical sites who have bad experiences. I can't work out whether router manufacturers produce a significant number of lemons or that users expect WiFi not to be attenuated by the likes of thick, reinforced concrete in their houses.
So please help: Can you recommend a broadband router?

If your ISP is BT..I'd would suggest you consider their Home Hub 3..
My trusty Netgear died on the day I was ringing them to renew my contract.. I asked them for HH3 to be sent as well..
on my netgear I was getting 10 meg down and reasonable wireless.. with the HH3 I am now getting 17.5 down and the wireless is excellent (even getting to my old dead spots with full connection).. it has all the bands including n.. and if you by one from then its £29.+ £7 P&P..

Well I've been using the netgear 3700 router for 9 months now without any issues at all and wifi coverage seems to be excellent in all rooms both upstairs and downstairs. It's a 1920's house with thick walls and i'm surprised its so good. In the bedroom furthest away from the router (and on a different level) I found that it required a netgear usb dongle to work properly. I already had a wireless n dongle from a competitor but this gave a very flaky performance. What I really like about this router are the two USB 3 ports - one at the back of the router and one on the front but hidden by a rubber flap. This means that you connect an external hard drive and a printer at the same time. The router was expensive but I keep finding that you get what you pay for.

I'm experiencing exactly the same symptoms. The router's modem shows the connection as fine, but it's almost like the DNS lookup just can't be arsed. Nothing on the internet resolves.
Had this Netgear DG834G V4 since 2008. Never had a problem. Then about a month ago I noticed the download speed had gone from 720k/sec to 2,100k/sec
The router is syncing at 23Mbps and it used to be 7.6Mbps.
I've been re-booting the router every day for a month, even tried flashing and restoring factory settings.
Am moving to a new pad and getting fibre, so have just stuck with it for now due to all the hardware being replaced anyway.
Will be interesting to see if there is a resolution to your issue.
I think, therefore I compile

nordle, are you saying that you are getting 3 times the speed you used too? - If you are then it could be that the router can't cope with the increased speed - I have that issue going upto 10 meg, the routers wan would lock up 6.5 meg.

Yes, there was a (roughly) 300% speed increase overnight.
In theory, the Netgear DG834G V4 router has a modem which is compatible with ADSL2+
I've also tried the latest (2010) firmware.
There was some third party firmware too, but in the end I decided to just stick it out.

When my Netgear 834GT failed I switched to a Billion BiPAC 7800N. While I've always been a Netgear fan I am three miles from the exchange and the Billion is supposed to be one of the best routers for long lines and the Netgear 3700 is reported to have drop out problems with anything less than perfect lines. I can not say if this is true for the Netgear but the Billion has been absolutely rock solid since I got it last November.

I bought a BT Business Hub off eBay for about £10. Infinitely better than the tripe my ISP issued to me, and better than the BT Home Hub I have.
I found lots of them brand new and boxed on eBay because I suppose people start subscribing to the service but don't want to change from their existing router - so they sell the free issue router. However, unless you actually have a business account with BT, you do have to do a minor hack because it is pre-programmed to connect with BT's business service. I hacked mine OK. It is all here :-
I don't like BT, but their hardware is good.
