Public transpotation from the seaport in Haifa, Israel to the town of Haifa[edit]
What transportation is available from the seaport in Haifa to the town of Haifa and how much does it cost? Asked by: 188.8.131.52 13:31, 13 October 2014 (UTC)
- Hello, the seaport is just in the center of the city. You don't take anything. But in any case you have all the kinds of transportation.220.127.116.11 10:52, 7 November 2014 (UTC)
Universal Studios Harry Potter[edit]
What is the ground transportation available to get into the park? Are there buses and if so, what is the cost and how is the traffice getting into the park? Asked by: Coralie Norwell~ 184.108.40.206 23:32, 29 October 2014 (UTC)
world war 2[edit]

- Try w:List of World War II prisoner-of-war camps in the United Kingdom? K7L (talk) 16:31, 2 November 2014 (UTC)
Please could you tell me of the cheapest flight to Toronto Asked by: 220.127.116.11 04:54, 5 November 2014 (UTC)
- Really depends on when you want to fly and from where. I assume you are asking about flights from Glasgow? Also do you want to fly direct or willing to change plans on the way? Take a look at Air Transat, usually have cheapish direct flights or flying via Reykjavik with Icelandair. In the end looking for the cheapest means checking a number of websites and try different dates and routes. --Traveler100 (talk) 05:15, 5 November 2014 (UTC)
- It bears mentioning that Pearson Airport is one of the most expensive in North America to fly into or out of. If by chance you'll be arriving from within the United States, it might be worthwhile to consider flying to Buffalo instead: you usually end up paying less than half what you would flying into Toronto from the same destination, which is more than enough to make up for the cost of bus, train or shuttle service from Buffalo to Toronto. -- AndreCarrotflower (talk) 13:48, 7 November 2014 (UTC)
Staying safe in Munich[edit]
I plan on going to Munich, Germany, in late May next year. I have already booked a hotel very near the main railway station (Goethestraße 13, around here). But the reviews on Booking.com generally say that part of the city is a bit unsafe, as it is so close to the railway station and there are strip clubs and sex shops right next door.
Now I don't mind the strip clubs or sex shops as such (although I'm not going to actually visit them). What worries me is that the railway station and the strip clubs and the sex shops attract aggressive drunken people and even criminals late at night, and I'm only coming back to the hotel to sleep at around 00:00 - 01:00 in the night. After arriving at the U-Bahn station, I'll probably go for one beer at some nearby pub and then going straight to the hotel to sleep.
Now I was in Munich a year and a half ago, in a hotel very nearby (Schwanthalerstraße 88), and had no problems, even though I also went back to the hotel to sleep late at night then also. But that's a bit further away from the railway station, and there were no strip clubs or sex shops there. Will the situation be any different this time? Asked by: JIP (talk) 19:25, 6 November 2014 (UTC)
I've stayed near the train station in Munich twice, and once quite close to where you'll be staying (the other time it was on the other side from the train station). Granted, it was for a grand total of 20-something days, but my take on this is that the train station didn't seem the least bit dangerous, at any hour of the day or night, and Goethestraße can be a bit gritty at times but didn't feel nearly as dangerous as the Champs Elysee in 2003 or most parts of Rome, and nothing terrible happened to me in those cities, either. Munich struck me as quite safe for a city its size, though like in any other city, you should keep your wits about yourself and not be complacent. But Goethestraße is really Ground Zero for inexpensive hotels; it's a happening, interesting street; and I wouldn't hesitate to stay there again for one second.
I hope that helps. Ikan Kekek (talk) 20:57, 6 November 2014 (UTC)
- I wouldn't be too worried either. I've been to Munich several times and have always experienced it as a relaxed and safe place, even at night. All big cities have areas that attract somewhat more shady visitors than others, but as long as you apply common sense and don't go searching for trouble, you're unlikely to get into any. I wouldn't hesitate to book a hotel in any are of Munich. JuliasTravels (talk) 21:36, 6 November 2014 (UTC)
The long of Kiev[edit]
What is the long of Kiev? someone told me is 100 handred km, that's right? 126.96.36.199 10:22, 7 November 2014 (UTC) Asked by: 220.127.116.11 10:22, 7 November 2014 (UTC)
living cost in kiev ukrane[edit]
What are the living costs in kiev for a month? (for a 3 student together)188.8.131.52 18:18, 9 November 2014 (UTC) Asked by: 184.108.40.206 18:18, 9 November 2014 (UTC)
Where in Berlin?[edit]
In July 2014 I was in Berlin, and I was on sightseeing bus to tour the city. I took some photos, among those some of some special windows (depicted). To complete my image description on the file page on Commons, I would like to add the location, such that it can be of more use, but I have forgotten where it is! I have some hints though from my other photos: 8 minutes earlier we passed the Humboldt univerisity on Unter den Linden, and 6 minutes later I have photos from the Reichstag, so it should be right in between the two. As I recall, I was taking the red line and I have tried to follow the same route using Google Streetview to re-locate the building. However, I have not managed to find these windows again, but I did notice that most of the Streetview images were from 2007 or 2008, so I suspect that possibly, this is from a building newer then 2008. These are the clues I have. I now hope for a Berlin Sherlock Holmes to help me out;-) -- Slaunger (talk) 21:51, 9 November 2014 (UTC)
Asked by: Slaunger (talk) 21:51, 9 November 2014 (UTC)
Restaurant in Tallinn?[edit]
Right next Saturday, I'm going on a day cruise to Tallinn, Estonia. I will be spending about 6 hours in Tallinn. I will probably stay the entire time in the centre and in the Old Town. What I'm most looking for is to eat at a restaurant. Can someone recommend a good restaurant in the centre or Old Town in Tallinn? I have been to Kohvik Moon twice, and found the food very good, but I understand it's so popular and small that I fear I won't get a table if I just walk in without a reservation. I have also been to Olde Hansa in the Old Town, and found both the atmosphere and food very good, but I fear getting the whole experience there will take up most, if not all, of my time in Tallinn. As for my food tastes, I like just about everything, although I don't like vegetarian food. I want my every meal to consist of some kind of meat or fish. I'd prefer traditional Estonian food, but if that's not available, then steaks, pizza, Asian food or hamburgers. Please don't advise me to go to the McDonald's right at the entrance to the Old Town. There's plenty of McDonald's restaurants in Finland already. Asked by: JIP (talk) 19:49, 11 November 2014 (UTC)
- You can go to pretty much any restaurant, I think. I am not aware of any places which would be a bigger tourist trap than Olde Hansa. You can get decent food for reasonable price in places like Mauruse Pubi on the border of the Old Town and Pizza Grande nearby. Kompressor is a very basic but good cafe serving enormously large pancakes (should they be considered Estonian fare?). Boheem Kohvik is known for modern recipes based on traditional Estonian ingredients. It is 10 min walk from the Old Town in the Kalamaja district, which I recommend you to visit anyway. --Alexander (talk) 05:00, 12 November 2014 (UTC)
- I ended up going to restaurant Sfäär in the centre near the harbour. It is a small, very nicely decorated place, with a surprisingly simple menu. Only five main courses, plus some starters, pasta and dessert. I had the veal. The meat was excellent, but it didn't quite satisfy my hunger. It only cost 14.50 €. JIP (talk) 18:43, 19 November 2014 (UTC)
- JIP: if you like, it would be great if you added a listing for Sfäär in Tallinn#Eat. :) -- AndreCarrotflower (talk) 22:52, 19 November 2014 (UTC)

JIP (talk) 18:43, 19 November 2014 (UTC)
Further Munich question: How to get to Unterföhring?[edit]
I have a further question about my upcoming trip to Munich in May next year. If I decide to go, there's an event I'd like to visit, in Unterföhring near Munich, on Feringastraße 2. How do I get there from Munich centre and back? There doesn't seem to be any U-Bahn or S-Bahn stations nearby, and I don't know how the bus lines connect to Munich centre. I'll probably be arriving at the event about 8 PM and leaving around midnight. Asked by: JIP (talk) 18:34, 19 November 2014 (UTC)
- The S8 stops at Unterföhring, short taxi ride from there will get you to Feringastraße. --Traveler100 (talk) 18:24, 20 November 2014 (UTC)
What to do in Stockholm on Christmas Day?[edit]
This year, I will probably be spending Christmas on a cruise to Stockholm. The ship arrives in Stockholm on Christmas Day at about 10:00 in the morning and leaves at about 15:00 in the afternoon. I will probably not go outside the city centre during the entire time. What is there to do in Stockholm on Christmas Day in that time? Asked by: JIP (talk) 17:35, 23 November 2014 (UTC)

"Don't bother just to be better than your contemporaries or predecessors. Try to be better than yourself." ~William Faulkner
I love librarians. My hometown librarians took good care of me when I was young. They knew to let me know when new horse books arrived or when old favorites of mine were being discarded and sold. They helped me get my fix.
Therefore, I was really excited when the Greenville Public Library in Ohio reached out to me for an interview. It's now up on their blog, Fourth and Sycamore.
I also have a guest post over at Milo James Fowler's site where I discuss why I write a bit of everything.
I'll be busy with Thanksgiving and family and loads of cooking next week, so I'll be scarce online. Happy Turkey Day to my fellow Americans, and happy almost-winter wishes to everyone!Read More
Shortbread makes me think of autumn, so it's only right to combine shortbread and pumpkin.
It's been a while, but I have talked about my shortbread/autumn association before. It puts me in mind of kilts and bagpipes and happy family times.
Pumpkin lends an orange tint and a very mellow and pleasant flavor. It's such a small amount that it doesn't make the pieces feel tacky, either.
The original recipe called for dark chocolate. That's just not my thing. I prefer white chocolate with pumpkin. Here, I mixed in white and semi-sweet chips. YUM.
Don't be fooled by the fact that this uses an 8×8 pan–the shortbread is thick, so it makes a good bit. I cut it small, like I would with fudge.
Like most any shortbread, these keep very very well. I imagine it would mail well, too, if you don't live in a place where it's still 100-degrees in November.
Modified from Dark Chocolate Pumpkin Shortbread from The View from the Great Island.

I survived World Fantasy Con and had an absolute blast. I managed to complete a Poem-A-Day and make slow progress on my Clockwork Crown copyedits even during the con, which made me feel like a real writer. Fun fact: real writers are also sleep-deprived.The good news is that I mailed in my copyedits Sunday morning. Now I have a back log of other smaller projects to get done before I start work on a Top Secret Project that has a very tight deadline. It doesn't look like I get to slack off for the holidays this year. I must do All the Things.
One of the nifty things about being at a convention is that you get told about good news. I knew I had a reprint story that had been requested for inclusion in Twelfth Planet Press's Year's Best YA Speculative Fiction 2013, but the full Table of Contents was announced the day I was mostly offline as I flew cross-country.
So I was pretty gobsmacked to find out I'm sharing the book with Neil Gaiman. And my story follows his. Gulp.

JBL VERTEC® Line Arrays And SOUND.COM Provide Winning Audio At Miss India 2009 Pageant
In one of Asiaâs most widely viewed events of the year, SOUND.COM of Mumbai provided a JBL VERTEC® line array system for the Pantaloons Femina Miss India 2009 pageant in Mumbai. The event, which selects Indiaâs three different finalists for participation in the Miss Universe, Miss World and Miss Earth international beauty pageants, was staged at the Andheri Sports Complex for a live audience of 4,000 fashion-industry and global media professionals. This yearâs Miss India pageant was broadcast live to more than one billion viewers across 72 countries.
Having provided live sound for the Miss India pageant in the past, SOUND.COM fully recognized the challenges of the event. âThe audio system needed to provide enough acoustical power and headroom to be heard throughout the venue and also needed to be clear enough to meet the live broadcast standards,â? said Warren DâSouza, Managing Director of SOUND.COM. âIn addition to providing live sound reinforcement, our team worked directly with Cineyug Worldwide and Sony Television to help deliver audio for broadcast.â?
Joining DâSouza onsite, the top-tier crew from SOUND.COM included Gilroy Valladares, Sunil Karanjikar, and Fali Damania for sound system setup, optimization & operation. Assisting backstage were Yusuf Shaikh, Yasin Shaikh & Ranjit Singh along with supporting technicians Piyush Singh & Kalpesh Ajare. The SOUND.COM team designed and set up a multi-array system for the event, selecting from the companyâs extensive rental inventory of JBL VERTEC line array elements. The main PA system for the pageant featured two pairs of line arrays per side, each containing eight JBL VERTEC VT4888 midsize line array elements. An additional six VT4887 compact line array elements per side satisfied out fill requirements. Additionally, four VT4880 full-size arrayable subwoofers per side complemented the system. VRX932LA compact constant-curvature loudspeakers provided front fill and flown center fill coverage, while VRX932LA speakers with VRX918S subwoofers were in use as an onstage side fill system. SRX712M monitors were used for backstage paging. Crown I-Tech 8000 amplifiers powered the system, while a Soundcraft Vi6 digital mixing console was utilized at the front of house position.
âThe selection of SOUND.COM for the Miss India 2009 pageant, one of the most widely-viewed broadcast events of the year, is quite an honor,â? DâSouza added. âThis event also underscores the increasingly sophisticated level of audio system technology that is becoming available in an emerging market like India. This allows event planners and show producers with high global standards to have their needs met in virtually any location.â?

Established in 2008, KOVAL produces organic whiskey, liqueurs and specialty spirits in Chicago's first distillery since the mid-1800s.

In making this decision, they vowed to make organic spirits from scratch (avoiding the common industry practice of purchasing and bottling pre-made spirits) and to change the way people understand whiskey by creating a new, signature style - using only the "heart" cut of the distillate - affording a brighter, cleaner take on whiskey.

Club fire charity to Great White singer: No thanks
A foundation working to build a permanent memorial at the site of a deadly 2003 nightclub fire caused by a band's pyrotechnics has asked the lead singer to take the foundation's name off a benefit concert.
Associated Press
A foundation working to build a permanent memorial at the site of a deadly 2003 nightclub fire caused by a band's pyrotechnics has asked the lead singer to take the foundation's name off a benefit concert.
The fire at The Station nightclub in West Warwick was started when pyrotechnics for the heavy metal band Great White ignited flammable foam that lined the club's walls and ceiling. It killed 100 people and injured more than twice that many. The 10th anniversary is Feb. 20.
The band's lead singer at the time, Jack Russell, announced on Tuesday that he would play a Feb. 7 benefit for the Station Fire Memorial Foundation in a club in Hermosa Beach, Calif., near Los Angeles. Members of the foundation learned of the show Wednesday, Victoria Eagan, the foundation's vice president, told The Associated Press on Friday. Members of the group did not wish to be associated with the event and immediately began working to get Russell to drop his use of its name.
"This is due to the resentment and animosity still felt by many of the families and survivors that our very organization represents," the foundation wrote in a statement. "We feel that the upset caused by his involvement would outweigh the amount of funds raised at this event."
In a statement to the AP Friday, Russell said he would honor the request and donate the money from his show to a different charity that he would determine soon.
"I am utterly saddened by the response of the foundation and the motives behind it," he wrote.
The foundation needs to raise more than $1 million to build and maintain a permanent memorial at the fire site, said its president, Gina Russo. The group secured the land last year and plans to release a design during a Feb. 17 ceremony at the site. It has so far raised more than $100,000, Russo said, and has several other fundraisers planned.
Great White held benefit concerts after the fire, Eagan said, and raised about $185,000 for the Station Family Fund, a charity that helped people who were severely burned, children who had lost parents and others. She said that at that time, there was backlash from some families, but board members decided people so desperately needed the money it didn't matter where it came from.
That fund agreed to allow the band to raise money in its name, and agreed ahead of time that band members would not be making money off the performances, she said. Their association ended in 2005.
Since then, band members agreed to pay $1 million to settle lawsuits brought by families of those killed, although they did not admit wrongdoing. The band's tour manager, Daniel Biechele, who lit the pyrotechnics, pleaded guilty to 100 counts of manslaughter. The brothers who owned the club pleaded no contest.
Russell and Great White have split and are arguing over who has rights to the name of the band.

TimeSplitters 4 is not in development right now, at least we have some closure regarding developer Free Radical Design today. Steve Ellis, one of three individuals who left Rare after the completion of GoldenEye 007 on the N64 and founded Free Radical Design, has shed some light on what happened to the UK-based developer – and why we never got Star Wars Battlefront 3, even though Free Radical basically finished it in 2008.
"It was a big thing, we were very excited and for a long time it was going very well," Ellis told GI.biz in an interview that focuses on the rise of Free Radical and how it eventually became Crytek UK. "That was a big deal for us because it meant putting all our eggs in one basket. It was a critical decision – do we want to bet on LucasArts? And we chose to because things were going as well as they ever had. It was a project that looked like it would probably be the most successful thing we had ever done and they were asking us to make the sequel to it too. It seemed like a no-brainer." But then things got a bit rocky due to a shift in LucasArts management. Key individuals left the company and suddenly things were looking grim for Free Radical's Battlefront 3.
"LucasArts' opinion is that when you launch a game you have to spend big on the marketing and they're right. But at that time they were, for whatever reason, unable to commit to spending big. They effectively canned a game that was finished." As of March 2008, Free Radical had a competent working build. "It was pretty much done, it was in final QA. It had been in final QA for half of 2008, it was just being fixed for release," Ellis concluded.

Thomas Sowell: The cynical politics of public budgets
The answer, of course, is that it would cut back on the medications for children. Why? Because that would be what was most likely to get the budget cuts restored. If they cut back on building statues of Benedict Arnold, people might ask why they were building statues of Benedict Arnold in the first place.
The example was deliberately extreme as an illustration. But, in the real world, the same general pattern can be seen in local, state and national government responses to budget cuts.
At the local level, the first response to budget cuts is often to cut the police department and the fire department. There may be all sorts of wasteful boondoggles that could have been cut instead, but that would not produce the public alarm that reducing police protection and fire protection can produce. And public alarm is what can get budget cuts restored.
The Obama administration is following the same pattern. The Department of Homeland Security, for example, released thousands of illegal aliens from prisons to save money - and create alarm.
The Federal Aviation Administration says it is planning to cut back on the number of air traffic controllers, which would, at a minimum, create delays for airline passengers, in addition to fears for safety that can create more public alarm.
Republicans in the House of Representatives have offered to pass legislation giving President Obama the authority to pick and choose what gets cut - anywhere in the trillions of dollars of federal spending - rather than being hemmed in by the arbitrary provisions of the sequester.
This would minimize the damage done by budget cuts concentrated in limited areas, such as the Defense Department. But it serves Obama's interest to maximize the damage and the public alarm, which he can direct against Republicans.
President Obama has said that he would veto legislation to let him choose what to cut. That should tell us everything we need to know about the utter cynicism of this glib man.
The sequester creates more visible damage and more public alarm than if the President were given the authority to trim a little here and a little there in the vast trillions of dollars spent by the government, in order to make a relatively small "cut" that still leaves total federal spending higher than last year.
Only in Washington is a reduction in the rate of growth of spending called a "cut." Moreover, costly boondoggles not covered by the sequester can continue and grow.
Obviously Obama wants public alarm, which he can use to help defeat the Republicans in the 2014 elections, so that Democrats can take back control of the House of Representatives.
When Obama was offered the authority to make the spending cuts wherever he chooses, anywhere in the government's multi-trillion dollar budget, it was the only power that this power-grabbing President has rejected.
Why? Because with this new power would go responsibility for the consequences of his choices. And responsibility for consequences is precisely what both the Obama administration and the Senate Democrats have been avoiding for years, by refusing to pass a federal budget, as required by the Constitution of the United States.
Democrats prefer to get the political benefits from handing out goodies, while Republicans can be blamed for not subsequently raising enough taxes to pay for the Democrats' spending spree.
If Obama succeeds in maneuvering the Republicans into positions that cause them to lose control of the House of Representatives in the 2014 elections, then as a President who never has to face the voters again, he would be in an ideal position to create a big spending liberals' heaven.
But it will be far from heaven for the economy, with Obama-appointed bureaucrats burying businesses in red tape and job-killing costs, while expanding the size and arbitrary powers of government. We could become the world's largest banana republic.
