Today is Yom Kippor for those of the Jewish faith and here is a small bit about this from the wiki.

Yom Kippur (Hebrew: יוֹם כִּפּוּר or יום הכיפורים‎, IPA: [ˈjom kiˈpur]), also known as the Day of Atonement, is one of the holiest days of the year for Jews. Its central themes are atonement and repentance. Jews traditionally observe this holy day with a 25-hour period of fasting and intensive prayer, often spending most of the day in synagogue services. Yom Kippur completes the annual period known in Judaism as the High Holy Days (or sometimes "the Days of Awe"). Children under the age of 13 are not required to fast from sundown to sundown.

More on this is here and I found the wiki pretty accurate:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yom_Kippur

It is typically a day of reflection. One goes to temple and ends the fast with a meal with friends and family.

Good yontif to all of you. I am not in strict observance of the holiday but am noting it in my own way. Cheers.

(the next holiday on the Jewish calendar is Sukkot or the celebration of the harvest).

This new online payment site (along the lines of paypal.com) called PAYBOX. It is in beta test phase right now and they are paying people (in their currency) to participate and review the site, fill out surveys and get the word out. You get 50.00 to join and then 5.00 for each new person that joins from your link up. I like giving my opinion on stuff and at this point they have not asked for any personal information from me--just acct ID and email info so I am ok with that.

Here is my link:

If you want to play around and see what this is...go for it and join from my link (awesome). Please don't flame me for posting this. If you are not interested, simply move along. Personally, I am opinionated and like to do surveys. I will decide what I want to do with this, when they hit me up for more information, which I am sure they will. Right now...when I click on things, my little balance keeps going up---which is totally fun to me! I might just delete my thing later. I have no idea how to cash out and how their currency translates so...will have to see on that. You do get paid for logging into the site each day...etc.

So...if you want to...cool; if you don't...cool too. Thanks for reading! Let me know if you do sign up from my link if you are already in there. We can compare notes.

Cheers!
