January 1 — December 1, 2013
We enjoyed the most fabulous exchange with Lauren and Tony over the summer of 2013. Their house was everything they said, and more! Plenty of room for our family reunion - we had 7 people in the house and we did not feel at all cramped. The screened in porch was used EVERY evening and the teenagers loved the big den downstairs. The area of Hillsborough has an eclectic feel, with many gift shops, pubs and great food shops. The surrounding areas of Durham and Raleigh are also well worth a visit. The neighbourhood pool is large, safe and very well maintained and the tennis courts looked great - although we didn't use them (too hot for tennis!) We would thoroughly recommend Lauren and Tony's house for an exchange!
(this review had to be re-entered as my account accidently deleted it!) What a stunning home, in a perfect location for exploring Bath and the surrounding areas. So much space and so well appointed. We felt welcomed and cared for by our hosts!
We spent a lovely weekend in Hillsborough while attending graduation at UNC. Hillsborough's small downtown has great restaurants, and the countryside is beautiful. Lauren's home has everything -- including a huge screened in back porch for dozing and reading. We couldn't have been happier.

Dodge Dakota
The coil on my 97 dakota is getting no power and I cant figure out why all my relays and fuses same like they are good but still I can get any power to my coil to get my truck to fire
For us to be able to assist you, it is absolutely necessary for you to include the make, model, year and mileage of your car. (And tranny)
Explain no kind of power to the coil. 12v or no spark out of the coil? And how do you know, have you tested it with a meter?

A Dodge Dakota SRT 1997 96,000 miles with no power leading into the coil where I should have 12 volts I get 0.005 on my multimeter
Power to your coil comes directly from your SBEC )single board engine controller). It could be an auto shut doen relay. Check the voltage on the dark blue wire of you alternator with the key on. Let me know
I dont have dark blue wire going to my alternator I have dark green and dark green with black both showed zero
Sounds like the auto shut down relay isn't on. It is also turned on by the SBEC. Either it is bad or the SBEC. It is in the engine compartment and with a breather hose running to it. It also houses the voltage regulator and is a high failure item. Good luck
Are you talking about the auto shutdown relay or the sbec with the breather hose cause I checked the relay with a meter it is fine and my sbec only has wires going to it
The auto shut down relay is activated by the SBEC. If the relay was energized you would have power to your coil and alternator and 12v side of your fuel injectors.

Thread: 30/30 reticle

30/30 reticle
I've got a 6.5-20 x 50mm scope on my hunting rifle that I'm replacing for various reasons. It has a standard reticle. I've been researching scopes for the past 3 months and a friend just told me about Konus pro. He said he's sold about 100 and not one has come back. The reticle is etched in the glass. He shoots a 50 cal and it's holding up fine which is amazing considering it's a $100.00 6 -24 x 44mm scope. His leapold lost the cross hairs in two shots. 1200.00 in the garbage.
Question: I need the 30/30 reticle for rangefinding. How do you use it with a 6-24 scope. They say the 30/30 reticle is to be used on 4x to rangefind. Is a scope linear when turned to 8 power? Would I use half the thin reticle for a deer at 100 yards? (konus pro has a 6-24 x 44mm with a 30/30 reticle)

I've used what I call the Du-plex reticle for many years as a range finder. Its the common one where the cross hairs go from broad to narrow in the center. When turned to 8x a mature whitetail bucks chest will be bracketed between the terminations of the thick hairs(top to bottom) at 100 yds. When a doe steps out I crank it down to 7x. At 200 yds the bucks chest will be between the center cross and the end of a thick hair. At three hundred its half that. This holds true only with scopes that don't change the size of the cross hairs as you crank the power. All you need to know to make the system work are the backbone to brisket measurements of your quarry. Then go to the range and mark out those measurements on paper. Step back 100 yds and crank the scope till it brackets the marks. Then hunt with that setting.
Leupolds have a lifetime guarantee, so I hope your friend sent it back.

Nope...they wouldn't honor the warranty because a 50 cal took out the cross hairs. Don't ask me why. He sells large amounts of stuff each year...big buyer. That was a big mistake on their part. He's spreading the news.
I can't wait to try the scope....I read a review from the 2006 shot show...the guy said they were the sleeper pick of 2006.
Here's their website:
I really didn't think anything good came out of China but maybe I'm wrong. I know etched reticles aren't usually cheap. The "konus pro" line are the etched reticle scopes

Konus Distributor
Do you have a distributor name and or prices?
DaveP kywoodwrkr
My experience with chinese made scopes has been that the quality varies greatly. Some are very well designed, some not, but quality control is often a problem for all.
For example, I just mounted a Tasco 2x7 Worldclass on a rifle. It was stuck on 2 power. Finally took the adjusting ring off, found it had been assembled with the hole in the internal brass adjusting ring, that a bolt in the external ring was supposed to fit in, rotated out of sight under the scope body.
I pushed the ring into place, it now works fine, and the optical quality and repeatability are excellent. But how did it ever get past the most cursory inspection?
Nevertheless they are so cheap that I keep buying them. Last month my son got an illuminated reticule Barska 2x7 (no long range shooting here), mounted on a Rem 760, .30/06 and has already taken a deer and a hog with it. The same thing in an American, European or jap made scope would cost 4 times as much, at least.
Correction - Leupold's unlimited warrant is only for "gold ring" products. Green ring is limited to original owner and doesn't cover abuse, and the various tactical products have a seperate, different warranty. I'd also guess that the warranty fine print, which I don't have, excludes some use and abuse, maybe 50 cals specifically on that scope.

I believe they are distributing. Send an email to the konus website. Actually, I just saw a Barska that has a etched reticle. I think it's the new up and coming chinese thing....it may make a typical chinese scope bad reticle, bad adjustment problem go away.
The Chinese are making inroads in the scope business. There have been rumors that some Leupolds, parts at least, are made in China. And it looks like the Phillippines are now coming on. My 2 new Nikon Team Primos 3-9x40 scopes are made there. Not yet mounted but VERY bright, clear optics and a useable, non cluttering BDC reticule. Golden Monarch quality at half the (discount) price.
Japan seems about defunct. Of the entire Nikko-Stirling line only the Diamonds are made in Japan. Even the one on the cover of the NRA store catalogue is made in China!
And the European stuff is insanely expensive.
As far as reticules go nobody I know has ever lost one. Usually the adjustment mechanism fails from recoil shock or the seals crack, so I'm not worrying about them.I swear by Jupiter Optimus Maximus .... in the army of the consul Lucius Quinctius Cincinnatus and for 10 miles around it I will not steal anything worth more than a sestertius in any one day.
I Googled Elliot Brothers no results.
Any info. on distributors?
There is no e mail address on the Konu web site.
I always find the poo-pooing of Leupold (or other well recognized quality line) by the purveyors of cheap PRC scopes or by folks who do not carry the Leupold or other quality line to be suspiciously self-serving. Anything goes wrong with a Leupold, they WILL FIX IT, period. Best warranty out there and it will be fixed fast. I will willingly take that $1200 Leupold scope from the proverbial garbage off his hands and have it repaired. I challenge you to find a repair or warrantee service on these cheaper offshore (PRC) scopes other than they will send a new one (assuming they are even making your model anymore, or are still in business).
50 caliber recoil is big, but it you want to find durable, ask if it is warranteed for magnum spring airgun use. Much harder than any powder rifle. Very few scope manufacturers will specifically say it is designed for that. Leupold does say their 3-9X33 EFR and the VXIII 6.5X20 EFR models are OK for spring guns.
The rumor of PRC parts in Leupold is just that. Proof is lacking. By proof I mean documentable evidence, not gunshow BS, not gun rag writer's secret sources, or forum opinions. Origin of parts is required. Do you think major US manufacturers would sell gun and auto parts labeled "Made is PRC" or "Made is Korea" if they did not have to. If you could sneak PRC parts in, I am sure Nikon would love to say "Made in USA" or "Made in Japan," but they comply with the law (and their stellar optics reputation) and say "Made in PRC." Gun and car folks tend to like the concept of buying American (they may not be able to, but they talk about it... ) Again, please see the first sentence of paragraph one.
Etched reticles are not new. There are pluses and minuses, but a cheap etched reticles will glint and show refractions. A good one is superbe. They are durable, but so is a welded mil-dot.
I would certainly buy a Nikon or other brand name with a "Made in PRC" label if I liked it, as I can count on their reputation for service. However these gunshow discount specials with no US support network, or a distributor of the month with no track record -- forget it unless it was as a cheap throw-away or a test.
Remember that old adage of the bitter taste of junk far outlasting the sweet taste of quality. Find your balance and price point and go from there.

No set of dirt bike gear is complete without proper riding socks. The rights socks can help you stay more comfortable while riding, allowing you to get the most out of every trip you take with your bike.
The primary purpose of a sock is to wick away moisture. Off-road riding is a strenuous activity, and feet produce a lot of sweat – more than most other parts of the body, actually. Dirt bike socks are designed for the sport; they're typically tall and can effectively wick away a large amount of moisture.
On cold days, good socks can also keep you warm. Part of this has to do with wicking away the sweat. But part of it also has to do with the composition of the sock – the material and the thickness. You can take a moment to read the product descriptions to find out what a particular sock is made out of. And if you already know whether you specifically want something that is thick or thin, we have a filter on this page (left sidebar) that makes it easy to narrow the selection.
Good dirt bike socks also help you avoid blisters. If your foot doesn't fit snugly in your boots, that extra movement will cause blisters. Socks help reduce that movement. In this way, good socks don't only keep you comfortable while you ride; they also make sure you're comfortable afterwards as well.
If you're ready for new socks, check out our selection. We carry a variety with different styles and at varying price points. Pick up a new pair today!

Ok so we just had a LO and it was our 3rd and none of our other friends have any kids. Most of them are getting married this year (4 weddings in the next 6 months!) So needless to say we are ahead of the curve. Well now I am unexpectedly pregnant with number 4 right before this huge bachlorette weekend at the beach!! And the worst part is I am the one who made the BIGGEST deal about it!! I was just so excited because I'm a SAHM and was so excited for the weekend get away, and because I just had LO I was excited to drink too!!!!
But I don't want to tell them all because I have had losses in the past. I already used to antibiotic excuse to hide my newest LOs pregnancy for a little. I also don't feel like hearing all the "oh my god!!!!" "do you guys know what birth control is?!?" " thats soo many " and so on and so on.Ā The one good thing is I have an ultrasound that morning befor I go so I will know uf things are looking good.
So should I just fake it the whole time and pretend to drink? Or just tell them all.
Any advice??!!!

Wait for Green was formed in 2006 at Florida State University by original founding members Drew Dockerill (Lead Vocals/ Guitar) and AJ Larson (Bass). The band would combine funk, reggae, jazz, and alternative rock to create the signature Wait For Green sound. After playing numerous shows in the college town of Tallahassee, FL the band started to garner the attention of the 40,000 plus student population in the area, and in 2009 played sold out shows with Slightly Stoopid, Reel Big Fish, and The Wailers. Later that year the band was asked to play Sunfest held in West Palm Beach, FL along with an all-star lineup including 311, Slightly Stoopid,UB40, Pepper, Pennywise, Citizen Cope, G. Love, and many more. Just before their move to California the band would play their first international show in Playa Hermosa, Costa Rica headlining the ISA Billabong World Surfing Games.
In late 2009 Wait for Green made the move to Los Angeles, CA. Within the first months of their move the band was already playing some of the most well known LA venues such as The Roxy, El Rey, The Key Club, Viper Room, and Whisky A Go Go. While living in LA the band acquired Will Hopkins (Drums) who was studying at Musicians Institute. In early 2011 Wait for Green's song "Day One" was featured on the NBC show "Chase", making it their first major network placement. Wait for Green went into the studio to record their second full length album with producer Matt Laplant (Skindred, Fiction Plane) in the summer of 2011. The album combines their best work written after their move to California. The album drops November 22nd on the group's label Go For Broke Records. The band currently plays with two additional live musicians Kyle Barnett (Guitar) and Pier Salami (Keys, Programming).

Cablevision CEO: Pay-TV Is The "Milk & Eggs" Of His Business; Internet Is The "Soda & Chips"
As we noted earlier today, Comcast now effectively has exactly the same number of Internet customers as it does cable subscribers, and the Internet users will soon outnumber those who get their TV from Comcast. And while a pay-TV customer brings in significantly more gross revenue for a cable company than someone who is broadband-only, these companies are likely making more profit off their Internet users.

Google To Start Doing Its Mega-Personalized Ad-Serving Thing On TV, Too
As dominant as it is and has been for decades, TV advertising is something of a crapshoot. Neilsen ratings are still the gold standard for every network out there, especially since they now finally track time-shifted viewing. But Neilsen still uses their own proprietary tech, and works on a sampling basis. In an age when every set-top box and most of the TVs they're plugged into are themselves net-connected computers, there's a more granular and accurate way to measure viewers and to advertise to them — and Google's taking it.

Court Rules That Pay TV's Nasty Habit Of Bundling Channels Is Legal
Pay TV companies make bundles by bundling channels together in subscription packages, forcing customers to pay inflated fees for packages that are stuffed with channels they don't care about. The U.S. Court of Appeals could have done subscribers a solid by forcing cable and satellite companies to change their modus operandi, but it ruled that there's nothing illegal about the exploitative practice, upholding a judgment in a lower court.

New Year's Day Meal
The Traditional Southern New Years Day Meal:
NOTE: This was one of our very first posts made when we launched our website on January 01, 2012. It's a traditional meal here in the South and I hope you enjoy reading about it and trying some of our recipes.
A New Year… a time for new beginnings. What is it about being able to start off a new year?
Maybe you had a great year and hate to see it end – or – maybe you just can't wait for New Years Day to hopefully wipe the slate clean and just start all over again. Either way, there's just something special about New Years Day.
Here in the South, we try to start it off… with a plan. A plan that hopefully includes good health, good luck and good fortune. Oh yeah, and good times with family and friends.
Growing up, I always heard that it meant you would have "Good Luck" in the New Year if a MAN visited your house first on New Year's Day. I'm not sure where that came from. Maybe it was just a woman's way of thinking as she hoped the New Year might finally bring her a husband.
Secondly, you always had to serve up the Traditional Southern New Years Day Meal. What is that you ask?
Collard Greens
Black Eye Peas
Hog Jowl
Corn Bread
It's a simple meal, it's Southern, and it's really good. Click any of the above links to find out how to prepare and cook each one.
There are many varied stories about each particular part of the plate above. Each is suppose to represent good luck and fortune going into the New Year. Just how and when it all started will always be up for debate I guess. Nonetheless, I'll give it a go.
Collard Greens:
The collard greens are supposed to represent folding money. Collards are green, so is our folding money. It's all about wealth, prosperity and good fortune as the New Year begins. Some folks say the more collards you eat on New Year's Day, the more prosperous you will become during the year ahead.
I've posted a recipe for collard greens here on Taste of Southern. If you've read that, you will already know that I just personally DO NOT like collards. It ain't a secret in any way or form. I hope you'll read the post however, just to see how much I hate them and to learn why I made cooking collard greens the very FIRST post to start out our Taste of Southern website.
I will take a bite ever so often, mostly on New Year's Day, but as for eating a bunch of them… well, maybe that explains my life of prosperity. My mama loved them by the way.
Black Eye Peas:
The peas are also supposed to be a symbol of good luck. Again, the more of them you eat, the more prosperity you'll experience.
If you search the internet, you'll find various stories as to why this is supposed to be true. One of those is going back to Civil War times when the Union troops stripped the countryside of all stored food, crops, livestock and whatever else they could not carry away. Northerners it seems, considered black eye peas, field peas, and field corn to only be good for feeding animals… thus… they didn't steal it or destroy it.
As the story goes, this then was the only food, along with maybe some salt pork, that was available at the time and Southern soldiers lived off it for awhile. It was their good luck to have had it.
I've read that some people thought placing a coin in the pot of cooked peas was also part of the tradition. The person that found the coin in their plate was considered to be even more likely to prosper. Mama never did this at our house so I have nothing to go by in that respect.
Peas also swell when they cook. This again was a sign of increase.
Hog Jowl:
Hog Jowl is pork. You could use ham, bacon, tenderloin or fatback along with your meal.
The important thing is to include pork as the meat of the day as opposed to some other animal meat. Pigs it seems, root or forage in a forward direction. This moving forward is seen as a symbol of moving forward in the New Year. Serving chicken, or a winged animal that flies, would represent your fortune as possibly flying away from you. So, make it pork whatever the cut of choice might be. Mostly, it adds good flavor as a seasoning for your collards or black eye peas.
Hog Jowl is usually smoked, salted and cured. It's like bacon, only it has more fat than it has meat. You can slice it up thin, fry it and just enjoy it as a meat addition to your meal. Or, cut it into larger portions and add it to a pot of vegetables for flavor as a seasoning.
You'll probably need to boil it some ahead of adding your peas to the pot to extract more of its flavor. After you're done, you can just remove it all together prior to serving. Or, you may want to cut the boiled piece up, removing most of the fat and keeping the meatier parts and tossing them back into the pot.
Corn Bread:
Corn bread is just a good addition to any Southern meal. Folks will argue over whether it should be white or yellow. The yellow corn bread is thought to represent gold… thus adding more of a chance of good fortune and prosperity to the New Year.
Baking your cornbread in a round skillet forms a circle, like a cake. It's a continuous circle of prosperity.
A Poor Man's Meal:
Many would consider this type of meal to be a "poor man's meal." It was often thought that if you "Eat poor on New Years, you'll eat fat the rest of the year."
Whatever your reasons, eating this traditional New Year's Day meal is a great way to start off any New Year. It's just the good thoughts behind starting off another year with a hope for prosperity and good fortune.
You'll find complete recipes for each part of your Traditional Southern New Years Day Meal right here on Taste of Southern. And of course, we'll provide full photo and step-by-step instructions to help you prepare it.
Why not make this the year you start some new traditions at your house. Cook up our New Years Day Meal for your family. Just don't forget the Sweet Tea.
Let's Get Cooking!
I'd love to hear your thoughts on our New Years Day Meal menu. Is it a part of your family traditions? Please share your comments below. Thank You.
NOTE: This article first appeared on January 01, 2012 @12:25am. It was part of the the original launching of our Taste of Southern website that began on that date. Our Collards Recipe was the first recipe we created, and we only had about 5 other recipes completed and online when we made the official announcement to our family and friends that we had started a website about Southern Cooking. We've strived to add one new recipe each week and have been very pleased to follow the growth of our work. Thank You for your visit today. I hope you'll visit with us again real soon. God Bless You!

I love reading Taste of Southern. I, too, have black eyed peas & cornbread for New Years Day. I don't eat hog jowl. too fat. I substitute bacon or ham.
Keep up the wonderful articles.
Happy New Year.
Just love reading your stories, they bring back a lot of memories from my childhood. Happy New year
Hi Steve
Greetings and New year wishes from Tennessee. As a transplanted Yankee, I had lots to learn from my southern born mother-in-law.it worked well and I blended her lessons with my Polish heritage.
We do have black eyed peas which I generally make as hoppin John, a pork roast, potatoes, corn bread green salad. My husband doesn't like any greens! The polish part was Christmas Eve with sauerkraut, fish, ham, pierogi and a green pea side which are made from dried green peas and cooked very gently to keep them whole!
Wishing you all the best and keep up the recipes and newsletter…such fun!
Hi Steve,
Belated Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
Thank you for all the information about our New Year's traditional dinner here in the South. I knew some of them but am happy to learn the others. I will be cooking all the ones you mentioned.
I normally have turnip greens but will be having collards this year as my cousin gave me some from his garden already cooked and frozen. Black eyed peas and pork are always on the menu and I add stewed tomatoes, delicious with the peas! It will be a great day!
Love your stories and recipes and wish you a Happy, Healthy and Prosperous New Year!

I recently discovered a neat little blog (while participating in this series) that has become a regular in my reading: Three Men and a Lady. I asked Michelle if she'd like to participate in PDB's Friday Guest Interview posts so that I could introduce her to you as well!
This mom of two boys has a wonderful knack for interior design. She fills Three Men and a Lady with inspirational ideas and documents her own home design progress (isn't that striped entryway wonderful?):
Michelle has a beautiful, modern sense of style with an emphasis on refashioning the worn-down and old, bringing new life and meaning to each of her pieces.
I love her answers to PDB's four interview questions and you'll thoroughly enjoy the eye candy too (especially her grey and yellow living room)….

Un fotografo super excelente, muy profesional, tremenda persona, creativo con lo que hace y bien respetuoso. Me encanto el shooting y me senti super comoda. Fue una experiencia inolvidable.... MUCHAS GRACIAS
He is very professional.Love his style he take his time to deliver excellent quality.
The best service. I love it. For always my favorite photographer.
Excelente profesional. Muy creativo, diligente y sobre todo bien responsable. Lo recomiendo.
Jesus and his assistant Katrina were amazing! They were professional and timely during the whole time. Made suggestions during photo shoots and were also conscious of not stealing away all of our time from our wedding. During the hiring process Jesus was very nice and professional as well; and even accepts PayPal , which made it super easy for me to pay instead of having to mail money orders, which is how most vendors would like to be paid with destination weddings. Hands down Jesus is one of the best; especially having never met him until the day of the wedding. I was not disappointed at all.
Me encanto el shooting de Jesus Bernardo con el estilo Boudoir al igual que a mi esposo!
Muchas gracias te lo agradesco mucho! :D
la seccion fotografia fue de boudoir fue experiencia diferente muy bonita un trabajo excelente me senti comoda muy segura las fotos son muy profesionales todas las personas que las vieron cometaron lo mismo tremendo fotografo muy bien recomendado un trato muy bonito lo felicito por su trabajo
He was amazing and wonderful to work with. Since the moment we met he was completely professional, but made me feel extremely comfortable AND confident. His team is incredible and his final product is a piece of art. Way above and beyond my expectations! The album was jaw-droppping and my husband LOVED IT! Best of all I was more than satisfied.
Thank you!
Fotos are good, wish they were more
Excelent Job, very profesional.
Excellent service
An excelent photographer and person
Excelent Service and spectacular pictures!
As a non-traditional bride, I did not want the traditional the cookie cutter photographs that everyone has when they get married. As a result, Jesús was more than open to adjust to my needs and my husband's. I recommend him to any person who wants a professional and awesome work.
Keep up the GREAT work!!!

The purpose of this chapter is to examine various aspects of arms reduction between the United States and Russia that may emerge in the twenty-first century. The focus of this chapter will be on the strategic nuclear forces of these two countries and some of the potential prospects as well as the problems that might be encountered. At present, arms reductions are being accomplished in accordance with the START I Treaty. 1 Even so, Russia and the United States still retain a very large number of strategic nuclear weapons. Agreement on the terms of the START II Treaty has been achieved. 2 The U.S. Senate and the Russian Duma have ratified START II. Negotiations for START III lie in the future. 3 In spite of the apparent satisfactory political relationships between the two nations, either the United States or Russia each retain more nuclear weapons than those of all other nations combined. With or without further reductions in strategic nuclear armaments, there is a need to consider the interactions of the world's two largest nuclear powers under present and future political and military conditions. In this chapter attention is devoted to future bipolar conditions as they may prevail beyond START II into the twenty-first century.
Strategic nuclear inventories of the United States and Russia are shown in Figure 4.1 along with some possible reductions in the strategic nuclear warheads of the two countries. The situation as of January 1999 is shown first. The inventories are 7,958 for the United States and 6,578 for Russia. The terms of the START II treaty would be met with the forces shown next. 4 The upper bound suggested for the warhead

Angkor's grandeur on a minor scale: Dy Proeung's work
Quicker to walk around
What we say:
The question of overcrowding at Angkor Wat is becoming a serious one, and efforts are being made by numerous bodies to try to address it. One Cambodian artist has been doing his own bit too as his work offers a novel way of viewing Angkor: in miniature. Dy Proeung, 75, is one of the few artists to survive the Khmer Rouge regime and is today considered an old master and an important part of Cambodia's cultural landscape.
Before the horrors of the 1970s took hold in Cambodia, Proeung worked as an architect for the École Française de l'Extrême Orient (EFEO), which at that time was overseeing all of the restoration and conservation work at Angkor. During this time, he drew architectural floor plans and elevations for Angkor Wat, Ta Keo, Bayon and Banteay Srey temples. Fortunately, these survived the war and Khmer Rouge, unlike the plans made for the Baphuon temple while it was being dismantled in order to stabilise the structure.
With the end of the 1970s and liberation by the Vietnamese that finally turned to occupation, Proeung was free to undertake an extraordinary endeavour: a painstakingly precise recreation of some of Angkor's largest and most beautiful temples in concrete, and these can be found in a small overgrown courtyard on the east side of the river.
Either Proeung himself or a member of his family will be there to cheerfully guide you around these remarkable testaments to tenacity. They've certainly seen better days (the temples, not the family members), though that does little to detract from the novelty and fun of being able to look down on Angkor Wat without having to fork over 250 quid for a helicopter ride. Here, alongside Angkor Wat, you'll also find Banteay Srey, Ta Keo, and Bayon looming out from the undergrowth.
Proeung's work recently went on exhibition at the Hotel de la Paix, where Banteay Srey took centre stage. But he doesn't just satisfy his homage to the past with temple reconstructions, and visitors were treated to his recreations of intricate statues, vases, urns and lanterns, all of which are still available for sale through the hotel.
Perhaps it can never replace the Angkor experience, but for a few riel a visit to Dy Proeung's little garden of Angkorian delight, this is definitely a fun and worthwhile diversion. To get there simply follow the east river road, past the junction with Route 6 and turn right at the corner with the Catholic Church. The garden is half-way up the second block on the right hand side.Last updated: 4th February, 2015

Apple on Sunday rolled out a new commercial for the iPhone 5s entitled "Parenthood." There's no Steve Martin cameo but it does feature several heartwarming family interactions while showcasing a few kid-oriented iOS apps.
The commercial concludes with Apple's recent tagline -- "You're more powerful than you think." Apple began using the tagline in April with the ad "Powerful." The catchy tune playing in "Parenthood" is "Life of Dreams" as performed by singer-songwriter Julie Doron.
WIth respect to the commercial's tagline, you might recall a story we ran last month highlighting a lawsuit filed by a New York City street artist which alleges that Apple stole the "You're more powerful than you think" slogan from him. The artist, one James De La Vega, sent a cease-and-desist letter to Apple. As suggested by the video above, Apple doesn't seem too concerned.

Monday, January 17 is Martin Luther King Jr. Day, and there are lots of ways to celebrate and honor the life of one of America's most influential leaders in the Civil Rights Movement. Los Angeles is celebrating with parties and parades this weekend to commemorate Dr. King and his legacy, but Martin Luther King Jr. Day is not just a day of remembrance. Since Congress passed the King Holiday and Service Act in 1994, the holiday has also become a national Day of Service. We've included both celebrations and opportunities to serve in remembrance of Dr. King.
Celebrate this national Day of Service by giving back to your community in ways that interest you. Anyone with an interest in flying or in learning more about the world of planes should head to Tomorrow's Aeronautical Museum to take part in its Operation Hangar Cleanup. Volunteers will clean, paint and prepare the hangar at TAM's STEM lab, which will encourage students to learn about topics like plane engineering, wind tunnels, and video game design.

Philly Music 101: The wild world of Philly's modern rock scene
Philly Music 101 is our regular series guiding you through the wonderful world of the Philadelphia music scene: all of its passionate, loving participants, from artists to venues to studios and more.
The complex web of artist that make up Philadelphia's amazing music scene can be difficult to categorize. Ask any musician, and they probably won't want to be pigeonholed as purveyors of any single type of music, but sometimes genre communities are an easy step towards understanding and digging deeper into the well-rounded scene that we have today. With that in mind, Philly Music 101 is going to occasionally bring you genre spotlights – with the understanding that labels are of course limiting, and most of our fave musicians work outside the box.
The first segment of our genre spotlight will focus on Philly's flourishing modern and alternative rock scene that has seen musicians advance their way from rock bar stages to major venues to the pages of Rolling Stone. Continue reading →

Asia Pacific Infrastructure Ratings: Risks A Growing Concern
BMI View: The average Risk/Reward scores for the Asian infrastructure sector remain largely unchanged from the previous quarter. However, the risk/reward profiles for several countries have changed slightly, with greater risks being presented by several of the larger emerging markets and lesser risks by others. Overall, the potential for returns in Asia's infrastructure sector remains considerable, reinforcing the region's status as the world's most concentrated infrastructure and construction market.
The average Risk/Reward scores for Asia's infrastructure sector this quarter remain relatively unchanged from the previous quarter. There is still a substantial disparity in the demand for infrastructure throughout Asia. This translates into a significant divergence in rewards and risks among the Asia Pacific infrastructure markets, and a sizeable 40-point differential exists between the top- and bottom-ranked countries in our regional infrastructure ratings table. This wide dispersion presents investors with a range of rewards for different risk appetites.
The key findings from this quarter's update can be summarised as follows:

Recent Photos of This Tour
What You Can Expect
Upon arrival at Petrópolis, start off at the Imperial Museum, housed in the former summer palace of Pedro II, Brazil's second emperor. Follow your guide into this restored Austrian-style palace built in 1845, and get a good look at how Brazil's royalty once lived.
Walk by tapestries, antique furniture and jewels, and gawk at the imperial crown studded with over 600 diamonds and 77 pearls, weighing nearly four pounds (1.7 kg). See the golden quill used by Princess Isabel to sign a law that liberated Brazil's slaves in 1888.
Next, admire the Gothic architecture of St Peter of Alcantara Cathedral and visit the tombstones of Brazil's last emperor, Pedro II and his family.
Walk over to a quiet park and feast your eyes on the Crystal Palace, a ballroom of glass and steel with chandeliers, all built and imported from France, as a gift to Princess Isabel from her husband. Hear about the expositions and royal parties once held here.
Purchase lunch at a restaurant of your choice in town, and feel free to ask your guide for recommendations. Your tour ends with transport back to Rio. If you've opted for the upgrade, continue on to Cervejaria Bohemia, or Bohemia Beer Factory.
Optional Visit to Cervejaria Bohemia (Bohemia Beer Factory)
Top off your visit to Petrópolis with a stop at Cervejaria Bohemia, and take a high-tech, interactive tour to learn about Brazil's popular lager first produced in 1853. You're given a coded wristband which you can use to login at the factory and link to your social media account. Learn fun facts from touch-screen games and score points, and swipe your wristband to send information to your account, allowing you to share your experiences online in real time.
Your guide takes you through the factory's exhibits. Find out all about beer from the Mesopotamian era to present day, and understand the science and art behind Bohemia's brewing process. You'll get to create your own beer brand, and then drink up a glass of recently brewed, refreshing Bohemia beer.
Spend your remaining time playing interactive games or picking up souvenirs at the emporium. Or, head over to the bar and restaurant to try Bohemia's specialty beers along with tasty snacks (own expense), before returning to your hotel in Rio.

Quite a surprise to find a town of over 350,000 people on top of this mountain. Beautiful, although long, trip up the mountain, but our guide, Leo, was excellent. He knew his history and was enthusiastic to share his country's past. He was very attentive to his tourists and made sure they were well cared for. He explained all the different aspects of the museum we visited which made the experience interesting. Well worth the price!!
July 2015
Loved the tour to Petropolis. TT was the best tour guide ever! she entertained us and gave us a fun history lesson during the tour and made sure we had time to explore on foot while there. We never felt rushed. I would recommend this tour with TT as the tour guide.
December 2014
The tour guide was amazing, he had a very hard job as I was the only English speaking person there , it was done in error but luckily he spoke many languages. He was very attentive, and made sure he translated everything so I was still in the loop. He was very passionate about the history of Brasil.
July 2014
Great tour really informative
Guide was worth the price of the tour
All four tours were excellent however
Transport arrangements we're chaotic
At each hotel there were always heaps of people waiting on transport and the drivers/guides who had the names did not have signs with passengers names
January 2014
The tour was excellent. First, the pickup service made things a lot easier. Second, Carla, the tour guide, was fully prepared to give all necessary background and to explain the whereabouts of places we visit. Lastly, the schedule they provide was very accurate, regardless the heavy traffic in Rio.
December 2013
Worth the trip out; an hour and a half bus ride from Copacabana. The palace shows all the rooms as they once were when the queen and her son and grandson lived in Petropolis and the stories are pretty interesting. The lunch was not good (buffet which is about $15USD).
August 2013
Unbelievable city! Very good guide, savvy on the place. A must-do I would say. Beware the road to get there is across the mountains so lots of turns to be expected. Sit in the front of the bus (very comfortable) if you are "fragile" while traveling.
January 2013
Very good tour! Right amount of time in each attraction, free time to visit Santos Dumont house right after lunch; really nice!
A little confusing in the hotel pickup: we stayed 45 minutes in the bus going to other hotels and then we were about three blocks from our hotel again. But no big deal!
