PEORIA, Ariz.—Today was an important one for the most popular ex-Phillie of the moment, Cliff Lee. He threw his first bullpen session for the Seattle Mariners this morning, after undergoing minor foot surgery this winter. He threw about 45 pitches, and said his foot felt fine.
Of greater potential interest to Phillies Zone readers, Lee reflected beforehand on his time in Philly, and the December trade. Before sitting down and writing the story, I thought I'd pass along some of what he said.
Was he aware how strong of reaction the trade caused in Philadelphia, and how much fans seem to miss him?
"I think that the fans and Philly wanted me and Halladay there, but it's out of my control, out of my hands. I'm here now, so…Yeah, I guess in a way that makes you feel good that the fans wanted you here."
How long did it take him to get over the shock?
"A couple days, whatever. It's not like I was that out of whack about it. It just caught me off guard, really..It just goes to show that you never know what's going to happen in this game, and that's part of it. You're at the mercy of the team. That's the nature of the game; there's no way around it. So you've got to try to stay positive no matter where you're at, and try to help the team that you're on win. That's it. There's really nothing you can do.
What did he remember most about being a Phillie?
"Probably just enjoying my time with teammates, the staff there. I enjoyed it. It was a good group of guys. It was a lot of fun, it was something I'll remember forever."
Looking back, what did he remember about that transcendant World Series game 1 performance at Yankee Stadium?
"I don't know. It was just one of those games where it seemed like everything went my way. Everything that could have happened positive did. The behind-the-back play was just a reaction-type deal. I don't know, it just seemed like the stars where aligned or something. I don't' know what was going on there, but it seems like everything that could gone good did.
"It was just something that happened. I was confident and calm, and I felt like I put the work in to get ready, so I just went out there and let it all hang out, and that's what happened. It was just one of those days when I was able to throw pitches that I wanted to throw in the spots that I wanted to throw them. Everything was just kind of clicking that day, I don't know."
So it's kind of hard to explain?
"Yeah, it really is. I really don't know how to explain it except that everything was working."
Would he leave open the possibility of returning to the Phils as a free agent after this season?
"That's a long way from now. Right now I'm a Mariner and it's hard to sit here and talk about another organization or whatever. For right now, I'm a Mariner and I'm going to make the best of the situation. I'm excited about the guys we've got in this clubhouse, and it looks like we're going to be a pretty good team.
Who has he kept in touch with since the trade?
"I talked to Werth several times throughout the offseason. Victorino a little bit. That's really it. I didn't have a whole lot of the guys' numbers. I wasn't expecting the last time I saw everybody to be the last time I'd see them in a while. If I would have known it was going to happen this way, I probably would have gotten a few more phone numbers.

I have been an Amatuer for 11 years. In the 11 years I have trained 3 male labs with only one all age dog who has Jamed, finished 4th in an Am and Jamed an Open, Shooter is now 9 years old. This past year I decided it was time to get a new pup and decided to buy a pup from Watermark Retrievers - a Pike & Lauri litter. Being 11 years older and still working I decided to put my pup Rowdy with Greg Lister. I knew Greg had success over the years winning Blue with Derby dogs and putting titles on all age dogs.
This past weekend Greg won Blue with Rowdy at the Missouri River Trial. So far Greg has handled Rowdy to 9 points in 5 Derbys.
I would like every one to know what a great teacher Greg has been to Rowdy and myself. Training professionally for 40 years Greg has put together a technique all his own when it comes to training retrievers. He also had some great teachers Tommy Sorenson of Missouri being one of them His standards are high with your dog progressing only when he believes your dog has mastered his last lesson. If your looking for a young dog trainer or an all age trainer you will be very happy with Greg. He does have openings. Thank you Greg for all your work and dedication in training my boy Rowdy. Look forward to the years ahead with you as my trainer.

will provide you with a written pre-qualification letter. This shows realtors
and home sellers that you are a serious buyer, and can give you leverage when

This can be the hardest or the easiest part of the process! Today more than ever,
buyers have access to thousands of homes for sale on the internet, often being
able to see a home's features through slide shows or virtual tours. Buying a

take a lot of the hassles out of home buying as they know the area, are trained
in negotiating and often can spot potential problems in a new home before you go
to contract. Their ability to help you in each stage of the contract phase can
take a lot of the worry out of home buying. I would be happy to refer you to a
reputable local Realtor.
However you choose to find your home, the best rule of thumb is to see the home
purchase as an investment rather than buying with your emotions. Make a list of
the features you want and DON'T want in your new home. Remember that the

reduce a price simply because it appears that the buyer is well prepared to make
the process quick and painless.

'The Quarters' in the grounds of Alresford Hall, near Colchester, was used as a picnic, fishing and boating lodge by Constable's friend and patron, Major-General Francis Slater-Rebow and his family. Slater-Rebow's father-in-law built the lodge during the 1760s in the fashionable Chinoiserie style at a time when garden pavilions were frequently used for informal parties.
Slater-Rebow commissioned this cabinet picture and a larger companion picture, Wivenhoe Park, Essex (National Gallery of Art, Washington) during Constable's visit there in July 1816. He returned to paint both works in late August–September. In a letter of 21 August 1816 to Maria Bicknell, Constable mentioned the 'two small landscapes for the General' and that one was a 'scene in a wood with a beautifull little fishing house, where the young Lady (who is the heroine of all these scenes [Mary Rebow]) goes occasionally to angle' (Beckett II, p. 196). He wrote again to Maria on 30 August describing his reception by the Slater-Rebows, who made him feel 'quite at home. They often talk of you, because they know it will please me … I am going on very well with my pictures for them' (ibid., pp. 198–99).
Constable first made a detailed drawing of the subject (Royal Institution of Cornwall, Truro), which he used as a basis for preparing the painting. He showed the contrast between the natural landscape of the woodland and the artificiality of the oriental pavilion. He closely observed details during a late summer afternoon, such as the shadows of the trees, the reflections on the still water and the swallows in the sky (A. Inglis, '"The Quarters" behind Alresford Hall',European Masterpieces: Six centuries of paintings from the National Gallery of Victoria, Australia, Melbourne: National Gallery of Victoria, 2000, p. 136).

I think President Obama started to get really scared last week when Actress Lindsey Lohan publicly announced she was going to vote for Governor Romney instead of the President. I am sure he was as stunned to hear he was loosing the young Hollywood type vote, as I was to learn that Lindsey Lohan is allowed to vote in the first place????? I was shocked and awed!
Maybe she just filed her estimated quarterly taxes?

But when you wrote,
No wonder everyone wants to move to web apps.
I initially thought you were being sarcastic: Because of course then, "this application may from time to time act like the web application it really is, and have unpredictable latencies or unreliable operation, ..."
But perhaps you were earnest, and were saying that people perceive web applications to be more reliable. Well, perhaps they can be a smooth experience, where your connection (and server) is fast, low latency and reliable. But in general it's not going to make the issue go away... Firefox is one of the few applications that crashes for me on OS X. :)
f/1.8, which means the shutter of the camera can open very wide, letting in a lot of light but at the same time giving a narrow "depth of field", so that someone's face can be in sharp focus but the background be entirely blurred.
Well, an f/1.8 lens wide open allows you to maximise shutter speed, so presumably you're talking about very low light/slow film situations. (N.B. you have a typo, s/shutter/aperture/).

Tuned In: 12-episode '24' returns to Fox in MayJanuary 13, 2014 8:29 PM
PASADENA, Calif. -- The clock begins ticking again on May 5 when Fox airs the two-hour premiere of "24: Live Another Day," a 12-episode, limited series.
The show will still cover 60 minutes in each episode but will then skip a few hours here and there -- maybe poor, beleaguered Jack Bauer (Kiefer Sutherland) can finally take a nap.
"With [past seasons of] '24' we could never see the other side of the shore," said returning executive producer Howard Gordon on the benefit of having to come up with fewer episodes. "Here we are able to imagine the other side."
The new season, set in London, picks up four years after the 2010 series finale that saw Jack on his own as a fugitive. Chloe O'Brian (Mary Lynn Rajskub) is back, but she and Jack are at odds.
"At the beginning of this show they are pitted against one another by a set of circumstances," Mr. Sutherland said. "It's also something that will evolve over the course of the show."
Other returnees include Kim Raver as Jack's love interest, Audrey Raines, and William Devane as Audrey's father, James Heller, a former U.S. secretary of defense who now is the U.S. president.
Yvonne Strahovski ("Chuck") joins the cast as a CIA agent who's trying to track down Jack.
"Jack has disappeared, and he's hunted when the show begins," said executive producer Manny Coto. "When Chloe enters the picture, we will learn she has been damaged over the past four years and she has turned against the government, and for wont of a better term, she is almost a more radical [Edward] Snowden-type character."
And, of course, there's the threat of terrorism.
At one point there had been talk of a "24" movie, which followed a different story entirely and could still happen. But a reboot of the TV series with another lead character also sounds like an option.
"There are a lot of fantastic new characters," Mr. Sutherland said. "I always said from the beginning of the show I felt the star of the show was this concept. Very much like 'Law & Order' and 'CSI' had so many different branches, the format allows certain characters who have a moral objective within a world that may not be very moral is fantastic drama. And so if an audience were to latch onto a younger character that would be helping my character and you would reboot the show through that character, that's certainly an option."
More midseason on Fox
In addition to "24," Fox will roll out period comedy "Surviving Jack" (8:30 p.m. March 27), starring Chris Meloni ("Law & Order: SVU") as a tough dad in the 1990s (cute show but similar to ABC's "The Goldbergs"), and a reboot of Carl Sagan's "Cosmos."
Fox's "Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey" (9 p.m. March 9) revisits the PBS series, but this time it's executive produced by Seth MacFarlane ("Family Guy") and hosted by Neil DeGrasse Tyson. The series, also executive produced by Mr. Sagan's widow, Ann Druyan, explores the discovery of the laws of nature and a vision of the cosmos. Although Mr. MacFarlane and Fox may seem like an odd fit -- episodes will air a day later on National Geographic Channel -- Ms. Druyan said it makes sense given that she and Mr. Sagan used to write for the mainstream Parade magazine.
"I think there's tremendous overlap between the 'Cosmos' audience and the Fox audience," she said. " 'Cosmos' is about opening the door to the widest possible audience to entertain them, to uplift them, to make them feel the awesome power of the scientific perspective. I don't see any contradiction here."
Fox chairman of entertainment Kevin Reilly talked up the end of pilot season and Fox's plans to go into production on series year-round, rattling off a list of programs that are in various stages of production before pilot season begins in earnest. That includes a "Smallville"-like "Batman" origins story, "Gotham," that introduces Bruce Wayne at age 12 along with junior Joker, Penguin and Catwoman characters. Mr. Reilly said the show, only ordered to pilot so far, will staff up its writers room in mid-February in anticipation of a series order, something that usually doesn't happen until May or June.
Mr. Reilly also confirmed that "Glee" will end with its sixth season during 2014-15.
DiMeo goes 'Wild'
Paul DiMeo, who attended Point Park University (then Point Park College) from 1977-79 and worked as a stage manager at the Pittsburgh Playhouse, is one of the stars of National Geographic Channel's "Building Wild" (9 tonight).
City slicker DiMeo, best known as the designer with black glasses who was prone to crying on ABC's "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition," partnered with woodsman/fabricator Pat "Tuffy" Bakaitis in the construction business Cabin Kings. They design and build cabins for guys in off-the-beaten-path locations, and now Nat Geo films the process for "Building Wild."
"I was working mostly with children on 'Extreme Makeover,' " Mr. DiMeo said after a Nat Geo press conference. "Now I'm working with older children!"
The guys who want the cabin have to help build it, but there are hundreds of fewer hands at work on these projects than on "Extreme Makeover."
"We're doing it with eight carpenters as opposed to 2,000 or 4,000 volunteers," Mr. DiMeo said. Episodes are filmed over six days as opposed to nine on "Extreme Makeover."
In other ways it's similar, Mr. DiMeo said. "I always try to fit what I do for who I'm doing it. You listen to what people like."
"I try not to cry, right?" Mr. DiMeo said to Mr. Bakaitis during a Nat Geo press conference.
"You do your fair share of crying," Mr. Bakaitis replied.
Starz prepares 'Outlander'
Starz is readying "Outlander," based on the 1992 Diana Gabaldon novel, for a likely August 2014 debut and previewed clips from it at the TV critics winter press tour. Four episodes have been filmed so far from the show's 16-episode first season.
"Outlander" executive producer Ron Moore ("Battlestar Galactica") and star Sam Heughan showed up wearing kilts, an ode to the show's Scottish setting.
"We all know who wears the pants in this relationship," joked co-star Caitriona Balfe.
"Outlander" follows the story of Claire Randall (Ms. Balfe), a married combat nurse from 1945 who time travels without explanation back to 1743 where she is forced to marry Jamie Fraser (Mr. Heughan), a Scottish warrior.
Ms. Gabaldon gave the TV series her blessing, voicing her support for Mr. Moore's approach and complimenting producers for sending her scripts and soliciting her opinion on occasion. She'll also have a cameo appearance in an episode.
"I'm not reinventing it," Mr. Moore said. "It's a matter of adapting it. There is an audience for it, a dedicated base of fans who love these books and I take that obligation seriously. I want to give them their story but I do have to translate it into a different medium. But in the writers' room we always start with the book. What's the book version of events? And then we go from there."
To say the book series has fans is an understatement. Starz showed footage of fans -- mostly middle-age women -- at a book convention carrying homemade signs and professing their devotion to the romantic story.
"I don't think I was aware of the magnitude of the fans and how enthusiastic they were," Ms. Balfe said. "It's a dream role."
Ms. Gabaldon said fans have been dying for a screen adaptation of the story for years.
"They want to be Claire," she said, before gesturing to Mr. Heughan, "and they sort of want to lick him."
Local reality TV stars
Pittsburghers continue to pop up on reality TV shows, including two announced Friday.
Jake Corrick, 21, from Belle Vernon is among the competitors on Syfy's "Jim Henson's Creature Shop Challenge" (10 p.m. March 25) about folks who compete in making movie monsters.
The network describes Mr. Corrick as a student and sculptor.
MTV's "House of Food" (10 p.m. March 31) features former Pittsburgher Amanda Shaw, 24, a 2008 graduate of Pittsburgh Allderdice High School.
She has lived in Los Angeles for a few years but has no interest in being an actress. She applied to be on this foodie show because of her family's love of cooking.
In "House of Food," a group of aspiring chefs with no formal culinary training live together and take culinary school classes. No one is kicked out, but only one person wins an apprenticeship at the end of the season.
"Before this I didn't do much cooking," she said, "but my family is really big into cooking. I was more into doing retail [work] until moving to California and then I started really wanting to cook."

This past weekend I bought Building A Retriever, Drills & More by Carol F. Cassity. This is the New Edition (Expanded and updated) of the book Drills For The Retriever Hunt Test Enthusiast. And I have been thumbing through it since I bought it. It really seems to be a good book and I'm looking forward to making the time to read it.
Carol was one of the first "Retriever" people to contact me when we moved to Florida and I've thrown birds for her group and trained with them on a couple of occasions and Carol is a member of this forum.
I've been told that Copies are now available directly from Carol ( email@example.com ) and that Dog's Afield and several other distributors will have the copies in a few weeks. I really like the humor in the book and that each drill contains the Difficulty level, the purpose, the materials needed, procedure, potential problem(s) and solution(s) chart and diagram(s) of the drill. And I like that Carol has given credit to those that devloped these drills when she can.

Where to lay your head
Many visitors come to Phnom Penh with the intention of staying for a month or three for volunteer work, fellowships or other programmes that require a medium-to-long-term stay. Others come for a short visit and fall in love and decide to stick around for a while. Because the Cambodia visa situation is very permissive, it's a fine place to stop and stay for a few months. You can go old... Read our full review of Staying in Phnom Penh for a few weeks … or longer.
Facing directly onto the Tonle Sap river at the confluence with the Mekong and Tonle Bassac rivers, these properties have great views across the waters and down on to thriving Sisowath Quay.
Sandwiched between the much more expensive Amanjaya and Bougainvillier hotels, and surrounded by pubs and restaurants, Cozyna offers a great location, great views and even better prices. The bright, mid-sized rooms have large, wooden furniture, as is the custom here, but are spotlessly clean and tastefully, if minimally, decorated. The staff are wonderfully helpful too. While the front rooms have... Read our full review of Cozyna Hotel.
Bursting out in a blast of modernist white from within a sandwich of more traditional-looking Phnom Penh riverfront properties, The Quay is easy to miss as you walk past. Slap-bang in the middle of riverside's busy main thoroughfare, this boutique hotel is well placed for sightseeing, close to the Royal Palace and a 10-minute wander to Central Market and Wat Phnom. Great views — if you can... Read our full review of The Quay Hotel.
Set just above the popular sports and music bar Paddy Rice, Adore has rooms decorated in contemporary Khmer style, with great river views at the front. Given the location and quality, they represent seriously excellent value. All of the light and airy rooms are scrupulously clean, furnished to a high standard, with wide, comfortable beds, and all of the conveniences that you would expect,... Read our full review of Adore.
Primarily aimed at the aid community and business traveller market, Amanjaya offers high quality rooms with outstanding river views. The striking pale-yellow hotel stands out on the corner of a major intersection, a touch of relative opulence amid large swaths of more budget-oriented accommodation. The hotel's 21 wood-floored, spotless rooms are decorated in mostly tasteful contemporary Asian... Read our full review of Amanjaya Hotel.
With many of the rooms decorated in Neo-Shanghai style, the Bougainvillier straddles a slightly uncomfortable place between taste and ostentation, but we think it pulls it off. The suites overlooking the river are massive, heavy, dark wood furniture affairs which survive because of the space and light coming in through the French doors on to the balcony. They are, however, immaculate, as are the... Read our full review of Bougainvillier Hotel.
The first in the very popular chain of hostels that now also has sites in Sihanoukville and Siem Reap, One Stop Hostels excel in providing contemporary, comfortable spaces in which almost everything seems to have been thought of. The air-con dorms are always spotless, and each of the solidly-framed, wide bunks has its own socket and light fitting. Large lockers with padlocks provide plenty of... Read our full review of One Stop Hostel.
On the northern riverside end, beyond the great dividing line of Street 108, Pillar Hotel offers decent-sized, comfortable and stylish rooms most of which have good views down the river. They were in the throes of installing a lift into the five-storey building when we last visited in late 2015, so that butt-frightening climb to the top will soon be as easy as pushing a button. Roll over for a... Read our full review of Pillar Hotel.
For our purposes this area covers from the north side of Sihanouk Boulevard, north to Pochentong, west to Nehru and east to the river. This encompasses much of the commercial heart of Phnom Penh including Phsar Thmei and the Palace.
We were blown away when we came here and found a refined, stylish, beautifully laid-out hostel. In fact, the only thing that gave away that it might be a hostel and not a classy boutique hotel was the great pile of shoes outside. There were a lot of them. This place may be new, but the word has already spread far and wide it would seem. Space age and spacey beds at SLA. Inside the reception... Read our full review of SLA Boutique Hostel .
Smart, almost airport-like design brings you in the doors of this super-contemporary hostel, with slightly cramped, but beautifully designed air-con dorms with all of the amenities you would expect, such as individual power outlets for each bed and personal lockers in each room. Unlike a lot of places, they also offer double beds so travelling couples don't have to pine at each other across the... Read our full review of Aura Thematic Hostel.
Cool sophistication and a relatively quiet location are pretty much all you need to know about this gorgeous little hideaway, tucked down a narrow alley just off Street 19. Hidden behind a large, wooden gate and plenty of greenery, Blue Lime offers a sense of seclusion which is amplified around the tree-lined infinity pool in the cool and shady garden. This is the kind of place that will be hard... Read our full review of Blue Lime.
A warm but professional welcome, plenty of art deco design features, and a relatively central location, despite being secluded down a short and quiet little side street all contribute to making Manor House an enviable spot. The rooms are well-sized and elegantly laid-out, though we felt a little pricey considering. On the other hand, it's hard to over-estimate the relative quiet that you find... Read our full review of Manor House.
Despite being within walking distance of many of Phnom Penh's central historical highlights, the lovely Pavilion has an atmosphere of refined seclusion and offers spacious rooms priced at less than what you'd expect, given the quality of amenities and service on offer. A rare restored French-era building. The hotel has something of a pieced-together quality, thanks to various neighbours... Read our full review of The Pavilion.
Set in the heart of Phnom Penh's colonial district and within a short walk of both the Royal Palace and the riverfront, The Penh offers smart rooms in a superb, tucked away spot. The location is superb. This lovely little hotel — formerly the Boddhi Tree Aram — is down a busy, slightly stinky alley, filled with food vendors, playing children and gambling old men that leave no room,... Read our full review of The Penh Guesthouse.
Set across more than half a hectare of prime real estate in central Phnom Penh, The Plantation hides behind a white wall on Street 184, spitting distance to the Royal Palace, National Musuem and cafe chic Street 240. Rooms are at once functional and stylish, with crisp colours punctuating an otherwise serene neutral palette. You won't get the personal attention of the smaller hotels in the... Read our full review of The Plantation.
A great location, spotless if unvarnished rooms, and a busy restaurant downstairs are in the attractions for Bright Lotus. The rooms have air-con, TV, private bathrooms with hot water, and a narrow shared veranda that curves around the building. The mattresses were quite spongey, so this is not the spot if this is an issue for you. Here, you're within a short dive of the riverside, FCC, the... Read our full review of Bright Lotus 1 Guest House.
Circa 51 is a lovely, shady family-run hotel in an historical early 1960s-era building renovated with care and attention to detail, and plenty of character. With a swimming pool and eclectic decor, it makes for something a bit different in the Cambodian capital if your budget stretches to midrange. Not a bad spot to while away a few hours. Walking into Circa 51 you could almost believe you've... Read our full review of Circa 51.
We loved the easy charm of the staff here, and the rooms were more than a pleasant surprise given the price and location. If you worry that you might miss something from Phnom Penh's vibrant nightlife on Street 51, this is a good place to base yourself — do not walk this home at 03:00 though, seriously. It's also only a two-minute walk to Central Market, placing you slap bang in the middle... Read our full review of Happiness Guest House.
Tucked away on a quiet road just off Norodom Boulevard, the Kambuja Inn has a collection of good-sized, good value rooms, many with two large double beds, making this a great option for those travelling with young children. And its reputation is such that all 11 rooms were fully booked the last time we went to check it out, at a time when everyone else was praying for guests. It's a little bit... Read our full review of Kambuja Inn.
Stunning, out of this world, design in a gorgeous 1960s building transports you instantly from the grimy streets outside to a world defined by class and elegance. It's quite the transition. La Maison d'Ambre comes from the family of Cambodian-French fashion designer Romyda Keth, whose Ambre clothing helps Phnom Penh — and now Siem Reap — women stand out from the crowd in all the best... Read our full review of La Maison D'Ambre.
A stalwart, Narin has been around since virtually before time began, and though it's not brilliantly located, unless you plan on spending time hanging aroundPhsar Orussey, it's still very popular with backpackers, probably because its rooms are reasonable and the staff friendly. Also, a night's stay is about the same price as a few hours at an internet cafe. The rates are good and a pleasant,... Read our full review of Narin Guest House.
This is almost as down to earth as it gets, but in a charming, not-especially grungy kind of way at a laid-back family-run affair spread across three floors. The top floor is the most Cambodian you're likely to find these days where, inside wooden walls, the sombre fan-cooled rooms are spacious and clean. But they are basic. That's why they're cheap. Don't come here if you're looking... Read our full review of Seng Sokhom Guest House.
Despite its less than salubrious surroundings and, in fairness, a few of its less than sober guests, Sundance offers very decently turned out rooms and a pool with clean efficiency, a charming smile, and pretty good value. Choices, choices – tourist breakfast or unidentified street food? Street 172 is fiercely resisting the rush of modernisation that is overtaking the rest of Phnom Penh, but... Read our full review of Sundance Inn and Saloon.
Super-smart style, a relaxed vibe and great staff are just some of the reasons this place was fully booked out the last time we went to take a look at it. The first time we saw it, it was one of those happy little accidents when we were looking for something else, but on stumbling in we were instantly taken with the snazzy little cabanas and air of elegant indolence around the pool. We had to go... Read our full review of The 252.
The Artist is an interesting spot offering simple but specially designed rooms featuring fun artwork, a strong aesthetic sense, and a warm touch of quirk. It combines a sense of style with good value and a great, central location with easy access to everything on a relatively quiet stretch just down from the National Museum. Simple comfort and stye. We love how it all comes together, even... Read our full review of The Artist.
Romantic design, efficient service, and a gorgeous rooftop bar and pool with killer views are part of the draw here, at this stylish, locally-owned hotel. Frangipani Royal Palace Hotel is very much in the classical style, with an elegant, white lobby and breezily spacious rooms, and is part of a successful chain created by a trio of local entrepreneurs, including a number of establishments in... Read our full review of Frangipani Royal Palace Hotel.
Still popular with backpackers, Okay Guesthouse offers 30 clean and spacious rooms and has done away with their old dorms. They still offer a decent price for what's on offer, especially in view of the location. All the rooms now have private bathrooms, and some have air-con. The difference between the $10 and $12 double rooms is a window on the outside world. Almost always busy with... Read our full review of Okay Guest House.
Traditionally Phnom Penh's expat and NGO enclave, BKK1 is also home to a fast-developing accommodation scene. BKKS 3 is a little earthier, some might say grungier, while Tonle Bassac is rapidly developing into a hip little enclave.
Tucked away down at the bottom of BKK1, south of BKK market, House Boutique is a lovely hotel in a breezy, modern building inspired by Phnom Penh's most famous architect and father of the New Khmer Architecture movement, Vann Molyvann. A delightful hideaway. The air-con rooms are as stylish as the exterior would lead you to expect — local designer Vannary San is responsible for their lovely... Read our full review of House Boutique.
Tucked a little out of the way to the south of the city, Rambutan Resort is a stylish and classy retreat from the hustle of uptown Phnom Penh. While it's certainly in a quieter part of town, it's still only a short ride away from the capital's major attractions. An urban retreat from the urban crush. The decidedly boutique hotel, which pitches itself as gay-friendly, has just 19 rooms set... Read our full review of Rambutan Resort.
St 63 Hostel offers immaculate, well-designed air-con dorms with solid wooden bed frames, and a lot of attention to often under-considered features like a shelf beside each bed, alongside a reading lamp, socket and somewhere to safely charge your mobile devices. Set on the fringes of BKK1, it's also a great spot for branching out across the city while enjoying plenty of nearby shops, bars and... Read our full review of St 63 Hostel.
One of Phnom Penh's seminal party hostels, Top Banana continues to offer top value, with a great location, more than decent dorms and solid prices. Set on the second and third floors of a three-storey building on the corner of Pasteur (Street 51) and Street 278, it's a bit tricky to find, and then requires you to climb up several steep, metal staircases that wind around the building, adding to... Read our full review of Top Banana Guesthouse.
In the heart of trendy BKK1, there is little that hasn't been thought out in this large, modified villa. The dorms are all air-con, with firm mattresses on the solid wooden bunks. Each bed has its own light, socket and shelves, while the lockers are big enough to handle even the biggest backpacks. The bathrooms were spotlessly clean -- indeed, they were the loveliest smelling ones we've... Read our full review of Envoy Hostel.
One of the longest-running hotels in the area, Golden Gate is not the loveliest spot in the world, but it is reliable in a kind of sturdy, no-nonsense way. Street 278 is home to a slew of hotels with the word Golden in their name, and rumour has it they're all owned by various members of the same extended family. Of all the Goldens, this one is the nicest, though the others are quite similar and... Read our full review of Golden Gate Hotel.
In a classically-styled building, safely hidden away behind high walls, Jasmine Hotel, which used to be known as Monument Hotel, gives off an air of exclusivity that is not reflected in the price. Although it's small, there are certain things Jasmine Hotel likes to do big. There's the impossibly large entrance gate, and the ear to ear smiles from staff as you walk in. Even better, they... Read our full review of Jasmine Hotel .
A stylish set-up on the edges of BKK1, without BKK1 prices, Kolab Sor has nine floors of smart, modern rooms with a masculine feel that any business traveller or wandering tourist would feel comfortable in. They are genuinely excellent value for money. It sells itself as a boutique hotel, and with 52 rooms does technically fall within that description, however it has more the feel of a corporate... Read our full review of Kolab Sor .
TEAV Bassac Boutique Hotel offers sharp rooms with a modern Cambodian aesthetic and more amenities than you'd expect if you can snare an online deal, with top service from professional staff the icing on the cake. The location is a just a few minutes' walk from the funky dining scene on Street 308, as well as an interesting local market, the White Building and, a little further away, the... Read our full review of TEAV Bassac Boutique Hotel.
A well-established and popular destination, Villa Langka may well be one of the greenest spaces in central Phnom Penh. Dense palms surround a 1960s-style, mid-century French mansion and elegant pool, which is a hit with guests and the many expats who bring their kids here to swim and play on weekends. There are now two separate buildings. The old, main building has spacious rooms decorated in... Read our full review of Villa Langka.
There's more than a touch of romance to this elegant boutique hotel in the middle of Phnom Penh's smartest area, BKK1. If you're after spotlessly clean, mid-range lodgings, then Hilary's Boutique Hotel offers 26 beautifully appointed, classic Khmer style rooms, plus a pool, on-site restaurant and super-friendly service. The gate to look for. Creating an air of seclusion and getting... Read our full review of Hilary's Boutique Hotel.
Another Phnom Penh party hostel stalwart, with plenty to rest, sustain, guide and plain entertain you, Mad Monkey is a super-funky hostel with $6 dorm beds, great food and fun rooftop bar. It's set in two buildings so you can escape the monkey madness from time to time if the urge takes you. Come for the cheap dorm, stay for the food. The private rooms — priced from $16-29 per night... Read our full review of Mad Monkey Hostel.
An airy spaciousness pervades at Pandan, with big, smartly turned out rooms and a welcoming, wide open downstairs area. The rooms are absolutely spotless, and felt comfortable and well thought through, though some may feel that they lack character. Anyone who needs plenty of hanging space will be particularly pleased — this is too rare a commodity in many, even upmarket, establishments. The... Read our full review of Pandan.
Stylish, modern and a little bit hip, Patio Urban Resort is designed for those who want to combine sleek comfort with proximity to one of Phnom Penh's better areas. A little pricier than others, the design-inclined may well be happy to overlook this. Tucked down a small cul-de-sac just off Street 51 by Wat Langka, Patio has a gorgeous rooftop swimming pool, and it's worth noting that this... Read our full review of Patio Hotel and Urban Resort.
The Willow is a charming and unpretentious spot, offering just a dozen air-con rooms in a large house shaded by a series of tall trees — hence the name — with plenty of quirky design details, original artwork and a stunning ornamental spiral staircase. Located just a short walk from the newly thriving Bassac Lane area, it's a solid option if you want to spend a little more than a backpacker... Read our full review of The Willow Hotel.
This covers everything north of Pochentong, including the area around Wat Phnom.
There's a good vibe here, no matter what time of day you wander in, with a large hang out area and a pool (a pool!) tucked in behind a bright white wall. The smart, spotless building looks like anything but a hostel, but that's what it is, and they seem to lay on enough entertainment as though to prove the point. Two blocks from Wat Phnom to the north of Phnom Penh, it's no more than a $2 tuk... Read our full review of Eighty8 Backpackers.
Phnom Penh's most iconic hotel, Raffles Hotel Le Royal has a storied history going all the way back to 1929 when it first opened as Hotel Le Royal. It was a little less chic then, but today the building breathes a deeply sophisticated old world charm, with its stylish blend of art-deco, colonial and Khmer design, attention to detail, and impeccable service. The very definition of cool... Read our full review of Raffles Hotel Le Royal.

MANUFACTURER: Leupold
Review This Item
The LEUPOLD Mark 4 ER/T 4.5-14x50 Rifle Scope, M5, Front Focal H-27 Reticle (110084) is designed to let you take advantage of the reach and power of today's high-power hunting and extreme long-range target rifles, by keeping the reticle a constant size relative to the target at all magnification levels.
The Xtended Twilight Lens System optimizes the transmission of low-light wavelengths, so you see the details of low-light scenes in greater, brighter detail than with any other riflescope available. DiamondCoat 2 provides the best abrasion resistance Leupold has ever offered - exceeding even military standards. It offers unsurpassed durability while boosting light transmission for greater brightness, clarity, and contrast.
The Mark 4 Extended Range/Tactical riflescope features a 30mm maintube that offers incredible strength and allows for the greater range of windage and elevation adjustment. Side focus parallax adjustment for fast, easy parallax focusing from 50 yards to infinity, from any shooting position.
The Mark 4 ER/T series offers multiple adjustment styles with audible, tactile click windage and elevation adjustments. This model scope comes with M5 adjustments, which are calibrated in Mils for easy metric conversion.
Developed by Horus Vision, the H-27 reticle is an optically precise reticle which has a uniform grid etched on glass. The optically ergonomic design and layout of the reticle features a built-in rangefinder to provide the rifleman a clear picture and numeric information about the target.
Designed specifically for shooting at unknown distances, the yardage and rangefinder values stay exactly the same across the entire range of magnification. This means zero, point of impact, distance values, rangefinder values, windage values, and lead values will not change when you increase or decrease the power setting. From the heat and dust of the Australian Outback, to the cold and ice of Alaska's interior, to battlefields around the world, the Horus reticle has been field-tested to perform under the most demanding conditions.
With the reticle in the front focal plane of the ER/T, the reticle magnifies with the image so you can estimate range using Leupold's Mil Dot or TMR reticles at any magnification setting.
The Mark 4 ER/T 4.5-14x50 M5 Rifle Scope includes flip-open lens covers. The riflescope is backed by Leupold's Tactical Optical Products Warranty.

Just imagine Roger, WI may have 2 republican senators come 2012!
BREAKING: Sen. Herb Kohl to retire
By: CNN's Paul Steinhauser and Ted Barrett and Deirdre Walsh
Washington (CNN)Three Democratic sources confirm to CNN that Wisconsin Democratic Sen. Herb Kohl will retire after serving four terms in the Senate.
A Democratic source tells CNN, "The DSCC [Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee] has made sure that all these decisions were made and announced very early in the cycle. Democrats are confident that we can keep the seat."
Democrats currently hold a 53-47 advantage in the Senate, with 21 Democrats and to independents who caucus with the Dems. But the recent Democratic track record in Wisconsin isn't good.
During the 2010 midterm elections Republicans won two Democratic-held seats in Wisconsin as well as the governorship. Then-incumbent Sen. Russ Feingold was also unseated after serving three terms in the Senate.
Thirty-three Senate seats are up for re-election in 2012. Democrats must defend 23 of them.
Kohl currently serves on three key Senate committees including Senate Appropriations; Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs; and the Senate Judiciary Committee.
The National Republican Senatorial Committee released a statement following news of Kohl's impending departure saying, "Senator Kohl's retirement, just like his Democrat colleagues who stepped aside before him, immediately presents another key opportunity for Senate Republicans next year. It also further dilutes the ability of national Democrats to go on offense, while they fight to maintain their dwindling Senate majority."

When it comes to crap food, everyone has a guilty pleasure. For some, it's a bag of Cool Ranch Doritos downed in a stoned haze; for others, it's a pint of Ben and Jerry's mindlessly emptied during the latest episode of The Bachelor. Regardless of what poison you pick, it's likely to come with a hefty side of self-loathing.
For the cult of McRib, to which I belong, things are different. For us, McRibs are lusted after and devoured openly, with pride. We embrace our inner fatty-fatty-bo-batty and track the availability of the limited-time-only "barbeque pork" sandwich using an online McRib locator. It is that good.
Feeding the frenzy is the fact that the McRib has never enjoyed full-time status on the McDonald's menu. This makes us want it even more, and executives at the Golden Arches know this, teasing fans with back-to-back "Farewell Tours" in 2005 and 2006.
Luckily, the McRib has turned out to be the Cher of sandwiches. Earlier this month, McDonald's announced that, on November 2, the mythical pork-product sandwich will come out of retirement and return to the Golden Arches for a six-week run at 14,000 slop-food outlets.
Then a delicious rumor hit the Phoenix office — some Massachusetts locations had McRibs early. I dropped everything. Knowing that the McRib is often elusive, I headed to Saugus, where a McDonald's sign had changed its McRib status from COMING to HERE overnight. Oh, McJoy!
First, I hit up the Route 1 Northbound drive-thru for an order of five McRibs. A slow, dramatic un-boxing revealed a sandwich that was much larger than I remembered, and quite a bit messier. It's probably not safe to drive and eat a McRib, but I did anyway.
I steered with my knees as I took my first bite in about a decade. It was damn tasty — a pleasantly spongy ground-pork-and-preservatives patty, slathered in barbeque sauce and slipping and sliding out of a fluffy bun. It's topped with sour pickles and raw onions, which, in addition to providing a foil to the sauce's tangy sweetness, ensure that you will taste your McRib throughout the remainder of the day.
After shoving the rest down the gullet, I reversed direction to get more McRibs at the Route 1 Southbound McDonald's. I buried the remaining sandwiches in the backseat, wiped the sauce from my face, and ordered two more with a big smile.
Maybe this re-emergence will lead to a double-decker McRib, or McDonald's will take a cue from Internet hoaxsters and develop McRibbles, a McNugget-like variation on the sandwich. But for now, I'm happy to scarf down this blissful package of mystery meat, sauce, and pickles — while it lasts.
McDonald's, rolling out McRibs at locations nationwide on November 2.

I want to call some attention to today's politics. Here are a few examples of where accusations were made and later proved to be false, but by the time the truth was known, folk stopped listening. And each and every time, the subject just changed to a new smear attempt with no one saying, I'm sorry...I had this wrong. There is so much of this coming from the right that most people don't buy it anyway.
Fast and Furious
Death Panels
Bengazi (sp?)
And many others
These folks need to be held accountable but also need to be given credit when they get it right, but they don't need to be smeared with lies for political gain.

Cute Wireless Bras with Support
Wireless bras provide shape and support without the use of an underwire. Wireless bras are extremely comfortable. They make a wonderful choice for lounging, resting, or sleeping. Bits of Lace offers many wireless bra selections in different style and fabric combinations to suit every woman's needs.
Boasting supreme comfort and no rubbing from an underwire, this style of bra is very useful for highly active women. Usually regarded as the bane of many women's existences, the underwire in a bra can potentially poke, pinch, and leave marks after wear. Wireless bras support the breasts without clinching. They give you a great natural shape and also can offer mass sex appeal. One of the benefits of these bras is that you won't feel like you are even wearing one, and they offer a double layer of support due to the wire being absent.
Coming in all colors and fabrics, like cotton, microfiber, and lace, they are always stylish and sexy. Because of the light build of these bras and the limited number of parts, they can wick away sweat quickly and leave you feeling comfortable, where other bras would fall behind. These bras are also offered by many well-known brands like Hanky Panky and Antia.
All in all, bras made without wires are extremely useful and versatile. Crafted with genuine care to support your back and front, while still not inhibiting your movements like most other bras, these bras are sure to impress.

Deeplinks Blog posts about DMCA Rulemaking
A new bill introduced in Congress today aims to resolve the restrictions that complicate phone unlocking, and it's doing it the right way. While other proposals would apply temporary "bandaid" fixes that fail to address the underlying problems behind the restrictions, this bi-partisan proposal from Representatives Zoe Lofgren, Thomas Massie, Anna Eshoo, and Jared Polis, gets to the root of the issue.
Contact your representative today to ask them to join in supporting this bill.
Today EFF joins a broad coalition of over 40 groups and individuals in sending a letter calling on Congress to create a permanent phone-unlocking exemption to the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) and to start the process of reforming the anti-circumvention provisions of that law. The coalition represents not just public interest groups, but startup companies, industry organizations, academics, and others.
How the US Trade Rep Ratchets Up Worldwide Copyright Laws That Could Keep Your Devices Locked Forever
This month, the former U.S. Assistant Secretary of Commerce Bruce Lehman, sometimes referred to as the architect of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act ("DMCA"), spoke at a Silicon Valley conference that brought copyright experts together to discuss the impact of that law 15 years later.
At the conference, Lehman admitted the law was the product of a deliberate end-run around the democratic process. Lehman was an advocate for several hardline proposals to criminalize digitial rights management (DRM) circumvention. Unable to sell the proposals domestically, Lehman pressed the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative (USTR) to propose them at the UN World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) instead. Many have accused Lehman of using the treaty process to avoid Congress. What was Lehman's response to those accusations at the event? "I would say that they're right."
The White House has come out today in support of legalizing the unlocking of cell phones for use on different carriers, saying it makes "common sense" that "all consumers deserve that flexibility." The statement came as a response to a recent petition that received over 114,000 signatures.
Legal protection for people who unlock their mobile phones to use them on other networks expired last weekend. According to the claims of major U.S. wireless carriers, unlocking a phone bought after January 26 without your carrier's permission violates the Digital Millennium Copyright Act ("DMCA") whether the phone is under contract or not. In a way, this is not as bad as it sounds. In other ways, it's even worse.

Portacaval shunting is a surgical treatment to create new connections between two blood vessels in your abdomen. It is used to treat people who have severe liver problems.
Shunt - portacaval
Portacaval shunting is a major surgical procedure. The procedure involves a large cut in the belly area (abdomen). The surgeon then makes a connection between the portal vein (which supplies most of the liver's blood), and the inferior vena cava (the vein that drains blood from most of the lower part of the body).
The new connection diverts blood flow way from the liver. This reduces blood pressure in the portal vein and decreases the risk of a tear (rupture) and bleeding from the veins in the esophagus and stomach.
Normally, blood coming from your esophagus, stomach, and intestines first flows through the liver. When your liver is very damaged and there are blockages, the blood cannot flow through it easily. This is called portal hypertension (increased pressure and backup of the portal vein). The veins can then break open (rupture), causing serious bleeding.
Common causes of portal hypertension are:
When portal hypertension occurs, you may have:
Portacaval shunting diverts part of your blood flow from the liver, and improves blood flow in your stomach, esophagus, and intestines.
Portacaval shunting is most often done when transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunting (TIPS) has not worked. TIPS is a much simpler, less invasive procedure.
Risks for any anesthesia are:
Risks for any surgery are:
Complications from this procedure include:
People with liver disease are at a much higher risk for complications after surgery.
Patients with severe liver disease that is getting worse should be evaluated for liver transplant.

Lawmakers look to create Beer Commission
Would promote Wisconsin breweries and beer business in the state
MADISON, Wis. - Beer and Wisconsin are synonymous around the nation. Now state breweries are the focal point of a new piece of legislation that aims to make Wisconsin the best of the best in the country.
It's pretty simple.
Beer is big business in the badger state. Wisconsin generates 8 point 6 billion in beer production revenues and its created more than 60-thousand jobs.
The New York Times says Wisconsin is one of two state in the nation that has more bars than grocery stores. Local brewers say it makes sense to have a commission to promote their business.
"I have been in this for three generations I am a Wisconsin guy born and raised here in Madison Wisconsin," said Carl Nolen, the president and CEO of Wisconsin Brewing Company in Verona, that opened its doors last fall.
"Wisconsin is known for supporting local industry much like the milk marketing board and the dairy industry," said Nolen.
Nolen says only 7 percent of beer consumed in the state comes from a Wisconsin Craft Brewery.
"The purpose of a beer commission is really for the purpose of education and what it means when you support a local brewery you are supporting a local farmer, you are supporting raw materials produced in our state it's all about job creation," said Nolen.
"What I'd like to see is the state of Wisconsin become the Napa Valley of the beer industry," said Gary Tauchen, the representative who is proposing the bill that would establish a beer commission that focuses on promoting Wisconsin beer and breweries.
He says Wisconsin ranks in the top 5 in the country for beer consumption so it just makes sense.
"I thought there should be something we can do to help take beer to the next level. So I came up with the idea of the beer commission, which could work out of the department of ag trade and consumer protection and utilize the state fair as a funding source. It gives the players in the industry an opportunity to work together," said Tauchen.
Back at the Brewery Nolen says the commission is a great idea and since great tasting beer is in high demand these days promoting Wisconsin's local offerings is the way to go.
"It's our heritage and culture. We should be proud and find the opportunity to promote safe use of our products in moderate consumption. I think that is what this beer commission is going to do it's an entity that is going to be focusing on the good that comes from beer," said Nolen.
Tauchen says he is confident the bill would eventually pass but he does not think it will pass before the end of the session but he is starting the conversation now so the legislation can be taken up right away in the next session.
Wisconsin has 87 local breweries.

MOOREVILLE – Down by a basket to Velma Jackson with under five seconds remaining in the 3A North championship, Booneville got the ball in the hands of their star player.
Kenny Paul Geno shot a 3-pointer from the wing to win it at the buzzer, but the ball banged off the rim as the Falcons claimed the title, 42-40.
Velma Jackson slowed the game from the outset, holding the ball for significant amounts of time in an attempt to ground the high-flying Blue Devils. Powered by Quinndary Weatherspoon's game-high 19 points, the Falcons stayed in front the majority of the game leading up to the thrilling finish.
"We try to slow (the game) down because we don't play a lot of guys and I use that as a strategic measure to keep them out of foul trouble, shorten the game and make the defense have to work," Velma Jackson coach Anthony Carlyle said. "(Boonevile) is well coached and we knew we had to come in and make it tough for them."
The Falcons (18-8) led by one-point after the first quarter, but extended their advantage to as many as eight in the second behind the 3-point shooting of Kendarius Murry and Weatherspoon.
Antonio Crump hit a shot from behind the arc and Geno, who led Booneville with 18 points, scored from the paint to keep the Blue Devils (25-5) within striking distance trailing 25-20 at the half.
Door left open
Booneville was held at bay until late in the fourth when an Isaiah Witherspoon basket tied the game at 36 with 2:15 left.Murry hit two from the line to retake the lead, but a couple of costly misses with less than 10 seconds remaining gave Geno his chance at the end.
"We knew coming in that it was going to be a tough environment," Carlyle said. "Booneville has some of the greatest fans that I have seen in the state of Mississippi."
Murry contributed 11 points for Velma Jackson, while Jack Nichols had 11 for Booneville.

This tread is meant for Schiit Lyr users to share experiences regarding tube rolling on the amplifier in question. There are some experiences in other threads, but sparse postings makes it difficult to keep track on experiences and interpret a consensus of what kind of tubes make what kind of effect on different headphones.
Therefore, it would be nice if those having first hand experience with the Schiit Lyr could post their experiences in this thread to facilitate a knowledge base for potential owners, new owners and existing owners.
If the same experiences were presented in lines of:
Tube: (state full tube nomenclature)
Source used: (state DAC, CD-player, other)
Headphone: (state headphone used)
Impressions: (state what you perceive the combination gives in terms of "sound")
Kind regards,
an enthusiast waiting on his new Lyr and seek an easy reference / knowledge base for tube rolling.

You'll have plenty of time for cozy winter hugs with this simple dish of pork roasted with sweet potatoes, pears and fresh sage.
Choose orange-fleshed sweet potatoes with dark brownish-orange skins. These sweet potatoes are moist, sweet and add beautiful color to recipes.
Bosc pears are firm even when they are ripe, they hold their shape when cooked. Anjou pears work well, too.
To accurately check the temperature of the tenderloin, insert a meat or instant-read thermometer into the thickest part. Pork is done when the thermometer reads 145°F. Let stand 3 to 5 minutes before slicing.
