EDITOR’S LETTER
C ty Life GUIDE
July - Auguest 2010 / Issue 3
write this column having just unsubscribed from 10 e-newsletters that clutter up my inbox every morning. Getting organizes is one of my two New Year’s resolutions, you see, and less stuff coming in means less stuff I have to respond to, file or trash. I’ve also cleaned up my Facebook account (that is, deleted unwanted friends) and delisted from Twitter. In hindsight, I’m thinking the social-networking fervour that was such a defining characteristic of the Noughties was all about the quantity, not quality, of communication. It’s high time we all gave some serious thought to how we make use of the whizzbang means of communication we’re all now such willing slaves to. For example, I can’t stand it when I call someone, leave a message and then they email a reply 30 seconds later. What, is ringing back really that much of an effort? No doubt, in time, some sort of etiquette will develop around the use of new technologies, but in the meantime, discover how you can avoid joining the ranks of the cyberboors with the ‘New Rules for Highly Evolved Humans’ (page 30). My other resolution for 2010 is to achieve some sort of work-life balance. I want to find my sense of joy again. I want to go on holidays without getting the guilt’s that I’m not at my desk. When people ask how I am, I want to say “very good” not “incredibly busy”. And I’m hoping that if I can cut out procrastinating I might get home before Late night more often. [An hour pause while I do a Google search on ‘procrastination’ and read about how it’s a recognized psychological disorder characterized by, among other things, spending hours aimlessly surfing the web at work.] Where was I? Ah yes, staying focused. If you’re as motivated as me to get a life, you’re sure to find at least one useful tip in ‘Leave Work Five Hours Early’ (page 41). Here’s hoping we can all start leading productive but well-balanced lives in 2010, now the dark clouds of the Global Financial Crisis are rapidly receding.

SOVANNA Restaurant Arriving at Sovanna Restaurant we did at 7pm on a Friday evening, we were lucky to tag a table only about a hundred tables away from the best seats - the sprawl of luminous pink or blue tables and chairs looking out onto a quiet side road just off Sihanouk Blvd. Yet sitting on vinyl and chrome collapsible wedding chairs, in a packed oblong room way back in the overheated rear of the restaurant with just a woeful side fan for ventilation, but this lively restaurant had a good reputation. Plastic chopsticks at the ready, we had quite a wait for our food – ordered by my companion using her top, inside track local gastronomic knowledge - while waiters in jaunty miniature red bow ties bustled past me, wafting plates of grilled cuttlefish, whole fried catfish and earthy bowls of tripe over our table. Eventually, after what seemed like an hour but was probably only about fifty eight minutes, our starters arrived. Griddled beef, charred on the outside, yet sweet, red and bloody inside and sitting next to the usual plastic plate of salad on ice. My friends prepared a dipping bowl of lime and fresh ground black pepper and then he did the same for himself but adding a dollop of the ubiquitous prohok and a fistful of chopped peanuts. The beef was so good that, like Oliver Twist, I asked if I could have some more, please. After that came the “plea”, a cold salad with citrus marinated fish - raw like sushi - hiding beneath a complex tangle including star anise, chilli, garlic, shallots, the brightest of bright green leaves, and chi ma-hao, a triangular leaf which my Khmer dining partner translated as “fish cheek” - it smells like mint and lemongrass - all sitting in a shallow pool of something looking vaguely familiar. I dipped a spoon into the puddle, raised a portion to my nose, and sniffed. “Brohok”? That ‘only in Cambodia pungent and fermented mudfish, rice and salt sludge known as “Brohok”? I glanced at my companion who was licking her lips knowingly. “Brohok” - the arch enemy of barang taste buds – it was. And yet it tasted rather good in the plea. Sovanna didn’t seem like somewhere for the “machoo Khmer” elite to arrive flanked by armored elephants, nor somewhere for idiotic drunken motodops. In short, it caters for those in the middle the expanding Khmer middle class (mostly this means whole families and even sometimes a couple of Khmer women dinners) having a jolly old time, and that’s probably why it’s doing so well.

Ritchy and Phil
Angel Garcia
Michelle Manzo
‘’Michelle manzo, who has a very appealing voice and a feel for jazz, clearly has a great future ahead of her. We’ll be hearing a lot from her.’’ SCOTT YANOW (jazz journalist, author of nine best-sellers on jazz music) ‘’She is the only singer I know that can bridge the gap between Celia Cruz and Sarah Vaughan’’ ( Bob Belden, jazz critics ) Born and raised in Miami, Michelle Manzo heard Cuban music while she was growing up. Her family used to get together and play percussion instruments and sing. Michelle had a special interest in classical music, she plays piano, mostly self-taught. When she graduated from high school, she studied jazz in the university of
Miami school of Music, the moved to New-York City, beginning working as singer rather quickly and developing musical relationships whit many musicians. Michelle currently performs in English, Spanish and Brazilian languages. She won an award at a songwriter’s festival in Taiwan for a song that she wrote, based on a Buddhist poem. She was recently chosen to sing the world premiere of two new Dave Brubeck compositions. She finally sang in the musical biography of Celia Cruz. Her voice is as sensual as musical, relying on a strong technique and huge feeling. She is definitely the right vocalist to open Studio 182’s jazz sessions and launch this and only this first and only jazz-club in Cambodia.

They provide quality music mixed with emotion and humor, offering a huge and often renewed repertoire from jazz to recent pop style. Within only a year, they also set up a gipsy jazz acoustic duo, Les TontonsBaraingueurs (referring to famous French movie), in which Ritchy plays the guitar and Phil plays the clarinet. They created the band named Khmarang, mixing Khmer traditional musicians and European influences. They performed for prestigious events (Nagaworld, Raffles Royal Hotel, Sofitel Angkor ) and are now consultants for the launching of the first jazz-club in Cambodia: The Studio 182, on to top of famous Phnom Penh restaurant Topaz. Ritchy has traveled on French and European roads for more than twenty years: as a drummer first, for several bands (The Dogs, Jimmy Z-who played saxophone with Eurythmics and Rod Stewart, No jazz, San Severino ), then as both drummer and singer with his own bands: The Soul Brothers, a tribute to the Blues Brothers which performed as guest in big concerts (B.B King, Ben Harper, Wilson Pickett, Al Green, Chris Rea ), and an eighteen musicians big-band dedicated to Frank Sinatra.

Symbolic statue of Hang ...But not many people delve into questioning what statues on the city’s Boulevards and major corners represent any geographical locations or even mythological symbol...
By Tharum Bun and Cheng Lita
C
ambodia’s capital attracts tourists by its historic mansions, France’s legacy, which once turned Phnom Penh into Paris of the East. But not many people delve into questioning what statues on the city’s Boulevards and major corners represent any geographical
locations or even mythological symbol. Each stone-made statue placed at its specific location comes with a reason, the same to how Phnom Penh was founded by grandmother Penh, when the wealthy widow discovered five Buddha statues in the hole of a big Koki tree that came onshore of Sab River (Tonle Sab). Four bronze and one stone Buddha statues became symbolic of
then temple Wat Phnom Daun Penh, now Wat Phnom. And the the legend is now the legacy. 145 years after the birth of Phnom Penh, it’s now the country’s largest city, and new skyscrapers change the cityscape to catch up with major cities in Southeast Asia thanks in part to political stability and economic growth in recent years. There are times when local residents
and foreign visitors to the city stumble upon a statue of mystical swan-like bird, namely Hang. According to York Seang, a lecturer at Royal University of Phnom Penh, Hang is a symbol of the king of the bird that is the most beautiful bird of all, although the real symbol that we all can see is goose. It represents best of the best. Years ago, the Hang symbol appeared in
coins as the national currency to spur economic prosperity. That said to financial sector today as banks embrace the golden Hang for their company logos, a hidden message of strength and trust to their customers. Far from the business world, this iconic symbol means peace in Buddhism. In Buddhist temples, Hang-depicted flags calls for serenity. While peace
and prosperity mean so much to Cambodians, the mythological bird Hang is also a symbol of vehicle. And for Cambodia to move fast forward with the region, it needs a tranquil transportation. The Hang can be spotted here and there in various parts of Phnom Penh for city dwellers to interpret. Photography: Vibol Phan Edited: SreyLeak Bun

attractions Luang Prabang
>>>Luang Prabang For reasons that are soon become apparent, Luang Prabang is often described as the ‘Jewel in Laos Crown’. Even though the town is well and truly on the tourist trail, it has nonetheless managed to preserve its natural splendor and inherent charm, exuding a missed-out-on-modernization vibe. The majority of the city’s sights can be reached on foot, so getting a map and making your way to the many temples (33 to be exact) is a good way to soak up the surroundings and observe the way of the Lao people, and the large monk community. The wonder of the ancient temples is apparent at first glance; the gentle and unassuming nature of the locals, given the chance, will also leave a lasting impression.. Luang Prabang is not a destination for those who want to spend their evenings getting messed up and days recuperating from the previous night’s shenanigans. That’s not to say it can’t be fun and as wild as you want to make it. Luang Prabang is decidedly morning orientated – the majority of the locals are in bed for 22:00, rising at 05:00. Staggering home with last night’s clothes on while this is happening is not such a great idea. There are, however, a few small establish
ments that stay open pastmidnight where conversation and beer flow in harmony. >>>Vientiane For many, Laos is the highlight of their Southeast Asia trip as it has been saved from the mass tourist trail that has led to her neighbours –Thailand and Vietnam. This relatively undeveloped nation is located between rugged mountains and the fertile low lands of the Mekong, and is touched by both European and Asian cultures. The city’s man-made structures are as distinctive as the areas of natural splendor. Modernity has yet to infiltrate this sleepy capital, where temples and religious affiliations blend with the rural foundations of the city. The majority of the city’s sights are situated within relatively close proximity of each another due to the fact that an urban sprawl has yet to materialize within the city. >>>That Luang A symbol of Laos’s nationhood and the country’s most sacred Buddhist monument, That Luang was built in the 16th century under the rule of King Setthathirat. A symbol of the main stupa appears on the country’s national seal. After being destroyed by the Thai invasion in the 19th
century, the monument was later restored to its original design, with inclusion of many references to Lao culture and identity, hence its status as a symbol of the nation. Each level features different architectural designs with encoded Buddhist doctrine. The impressively gilded structure is situated about four kilometres northeast of Vientiane. >>>Patuxai Patuxai (literally Victory Gate or Gate of Triumph), formerly the Anousavary or Anousavari Monument, is situated in the centre of Vientiane. Built between 1962 and 1968, the Laotians built it as a mark of respect for all those who fought in the struggle for independence from the French. Ironically, the monument bears a slight resemblance to the Arc de Triomphe, although the attention to detail and intricate design is typically That Luang in Vientiane

Laotian, boasting four rather than two archways. The view from the top is spectacular. Built with cement that was purchased from America, with the intention of constructing a new airport, the locals sometimes refer to the monument as the ‘vertical runway’. >>>Bokeo Bokeo is the smallest province in Laos and visitors might have a difficult time looking for a decent large and busy bar to drink in. Bokeo’s spotlight is focused more on its traditional ways rather than lights and sounds of the night. However, several restaurants along the Mekong River are perfect spots to socialise and drink with an impressive view of the Mekong River before and after the sunset >>>Champasak One of the most visited provinces of Laos; Champasak has a population of around 50,000 and is formed by Pakse, Bolaven Plateau, Paksong, Champasak and Si Phan Don (Four Thousand Islands). Bordering Thailand and Cambodia, Pakse sits at the confluence of the Mekong and is the provinces capital. The Champasak cultural landscape, including the Wat Phu Temple compound, is a well-preserved planned landscape more than 1,000 years old. It was shaped to express the Hindu belief of the relationship between nature and humanity, using an axis from mountain top to river bank to lay out a geometric pattern of temples, shrines and waterworks extending over some 10 km. >>>Xieng Khouang Xieng Khouhang consists of six districts Muang Khoune, Muang Phonsavanh, Muang Nong Hai, Muang Kham, Muang Mork, and Muang Phou Koud. Situated in the southern most remote provinces of Laos, the area was part of the Ho Chi Minh Trail, where troops, supplies and artillery where smuggled out of northern Vietnam and through the mountains on the eastern edge of the country, and into southern Vietnam Wat Phou in Champasak

Butterfly Farming The exhibit consists of a netted tropical garden with hundreds of free-flying butterflies, all of which are native species to Cambodia. The enclosure is South East Asia’s largest butterfly exhibit and provides residents and tourists with an interactive and visual environment to learn about butterflies. Butterfly farming is the breeding of pupae for sale to local butterfly exhibits or for export to zoos and live exhibitions overseas. Butterfly farms are situated in close proximity to areas of natural forest and provide an alternative, sustainable income to rural communities.Butterfly farms have been established in many tropical countries worldwide - includ-
Pupa Cage
ing the Philippines, Costa Rica, Uganda, Kenya and Tanzania. Most types of agriculture in tropical countries require forest clearance and this habitat destruction is a major cause of species extinction. Butterfly farming requires intact forest, thus providing an economic incentive to conserve habitats. As butterflies are bred and reared in enclosures with limited extraction from the wild, farming has a negligible impact on the health of wild populations. Butterfly farming allows the local community to diversify their income generating activities and to work at home around childcare and domestic duties. It also raises awareness
among residents and decision makers of the benefits of conservation. At ABC have provided training for farmers from villages in the Siem Reap Province to farm native species of butterflies. This training also provides our farmers with a vital botanical knowledge of their surrounding area and an awareness of the importance of conserving natural habitats. In butterfly farming a small netted enclosure is prepared. It is planted with the food plant for the target species of butterfly. A female butterfly is caught and placed in the breeding cage to lay her eggs on the food plant.The freshly laid eggs are harvested by the farmer and placed in a pest free container,
The freshly laid eggs are harvested by the farmer and placed in a pest free container, where they will hatch after 10 - 14 days.
where they will hatch after 10 - 14 days.Upon hatching the caterpillars, or larvae, will be transferred to their particular food plant in the farmer’s plant nursery. The growing larvae are tended by the farmers until they are ready to pupate, approximately 14 days after hatching. At pupation, larvae attach by their abdomen to a suitable leaf or stick and shed their skin to form the pupae. At this point the pupa are harvested by the farmer to be sold. To ensure sustainability and unnecessary collection from the wild, the farmer will retain a proportion of pupa to provide the next generation of adults for the breeding cage.
CITYLIFE possibilities
Taking a Tour At ABC it is possible to experience butterflies feeding and flying very close at hand and to witness the complete life cycle of many species. The butterflies (in pupae form) are farmed sustainably by people from villages in the Siem Reap Province. ABC friendly and knowledgeable staff will greet you on your arrival and will explain the background to the project and about butterfly lifecycle and ecology.

The Third Largest City
K
ampong Cham is the capital of the province of the same name and the third largest city in Cambodia. With its Mekong River location and relatively close proximity to Phnom Penh (123km) and Vietnam, Kampong Cham has always been an important trade and transportation hub. The highway from Phnom Penh is in excellent condition-you can get here in just under two hours by road or by the bullet boats that are a main mode of transportation between towns on the Mekong River. Either way it’s a nice fide, with views of the rural countryside or river area, depending on which way you go.
Haong Waterfall
The site is a mountain that features a cliff and waterfall. Inaccessible at one time, it has become a popular tourist destination in Kampong Cham province. There might be no other place like Haong in the province, where visitors can see real nature. Those who have visited will never forget the jungle and the beautiful waterfall thpt is perfect for swimming. Buddhists often come there to pray to the Buddha statue and to seek blessings from the monk who lives there. According to local authorities, there are 1,800 hectares of jungle at Haong. Some of the trees have been cut by local
villagers to clear land to farm. Haong is in Memut district on the border of Tambe district, about 90 kilometers east of the provincial town. The road to Haong is desolate, so it is recommended that visitors either take a tour there or travel with a group of people. At one time, Haong was entirely jungle. Then a monk named Prak Mony arrived there, and Haong began to change. Today, monks live there and a pagoda is being built. A visit to Haong is an unforgettable experience.
Nokor Bachey Temple Nokor Bachey temple is a cultural and historical site.
It is located 2.2 kilometers from Kampong Cham provincial town along National Road 7, about 122 kilometers northeast of Phnom Penh. Visitors traveling from Phnom Penh will see the gate to the pagoda on the right. The temple was built in the middle of the 11th century, during the reign of Suryavarman II and King Ouphey dedecating to Brahmanism. The temple is about 200 meters inside the gate. The site is accessible to almost all types of vehicles.

Nintendo 3DS gets official, includes 3D camera
Mac mini updated with HDMI, aluminum unibody, and SD card reader
Nintendo is showing it off at its E3 press conference. The company that Mario built is trumping up how superior its glasses-free technology is better than others, “a solution that lets you take 3D gaming along with you wherever you go” according to Reggie. The upper screen is surprisingly only 3.5-inches, not the wider that we’d expected. There is a slider on the side that lets you tweak the 3D effect, seemingly enabling you to adjust its depth based on your distance from the screen -- or turn it off entirely. As with the current DS, the bottom is a touchscreen, and is not 3D.
Would you look at that, some love for the seemingly abandoned desktop crowd. Apple has today unveiled a freshly redesigned Mac mini, which benefits from a unibody aluminum exterior and more grunt under the hood. Prices start rolling at $699, where you’ll get a 2.4GHz Core 2 Duo CPU, 2GB of RAM, and a 320GB hard drive. HDMI-out is finally included, along with an SD card reader, 802.11n wireless, a Mini DisplayPort jack, and what Apple claims is a doubling of graphics performance thanks to an NVIDIA GeForce 320M chip inside. Then again, when you double a little, you still end up with not much. The newly polished nettop is a minimalist 1.4 inches tall, but manages to fit all the power circuitry inside, which means (yay!) there’ll be no power brick to spoil your hipster desk space.
That’s what looks to be an analog stick on the side there, as well, that Nintendo is calling a “Slide Pad.” There is a gyro, motion sensor, it’s compatible with DSi games, and has two cameras enabling 3D photos. Still no release date or price, but Nintendo is showing off two colors, red and blue, and they’re said to be playable on the show floor. You can be sure we’ll be running there right now.
Don’t fret if you were looking to drop the optical drive, Apple retains the config option that allows you to add in a second HDD in lieu of its DVD burner. You can grab two 500GB plate spinners, Snow Leopard Server (we thought Apple only had one OS version?), 4GB of RAM, and a 2.66GHz Intel chip for $999. Finally, the new enclosures will come with user-accessible memory slots courtesy of a removable panel at the bottom of the case. Neat that the designers didn’t take the unibody idea too literally.

Cool cars of There’s sure to be a car released this year that guns your engine, no metter what your tastes.
2010 CITROEN DS3
The surccess of the modern Mini has alerted car makers to the market for small but luxurious cars, so expert to see a lot more vehicles like Citroen’s DS3. This premium luxury hatch will be available with a choice of fuel-efficient petrol or diesel engines. Key feathures include an optional premium sound system and a built-in deodoriser. It’ll cost about $30,000 when it goes on sale in late ‘10.
PORSCHE 911 TURBO
The 911 Turbo is Porsche’s flagship and it just got a whole lot quicker. A bigger engine and an all-new transmission make this the fastest car in the Porsche catalogue. The all-wheel-drive grip helps get all that power to the road, with the 911 sprinting from 0 to 100km/h in 3.4 seconds. For the first time, Porsche has put F1-style gear levers behide the steering wheel. It’s available mid ‘09 and costs about $300,000.
BMW X6M
This will likely be the weirdest car of 2010. As if the BMW X6 - a car that merges a coupe body with a 4WD - wasn’t weird enough, those crazy Germans have created a new monster. One fitted with a twin turbo V8 (with an epic 408kW and 680Nm). The X6M is the world’s fastest 4WD - even faster than the Porsche Cayenne Turbo - with a 0 to 100km/h time of 4.7 seconds, not bad for a 2.3 tonne vehicle. Priced from $180,000, it is due in showrooms in early 2010.
AUDI TT RS
Meet the TT RS, the fourth version of the TT to be introduced in three years, it’s powered by a turbocharged 2.5 - litre five cylinder (no, that’s not a typo) that has the world’s best engine growl. It’s only available with a stick shift because Audi doesn’t yet have an automated transmission that it can fit in a car this small that handle this much grunt (250kW and 450Nm). Despite having to charge gears manually, Audi says it can reach 100km/h from rest 4.6 seconds. It’ll cost about $140,000.
FIAT 500 ABARTH
Fiat’s engineers have given the Abarth’s tiny 1.4 - litre engine 20 per cent more power (118kW and 230Nm, if you’re the number type). They’ve also uprateda the brakes, fitted sportier seats and wheels, and tuned the suspension. A 0 to 100km/h time of 7.4 seconds doesn’t sound impressive, but it sure feels quick in a small car. This pintsized pocket rocket it expected to cost about $35,000 when it arrives midyear.
RENAULT MEGANE TURBO
In late ‘10, Renault is wheeling out its much anticipated successor to the Megane RS hot hatch, and rival to the Volkswagen Golf GTI. Renault are old-school enough to have stuck with a regular sixspeed manual (not a tricky double-clutch thingy) and the 2.0 turbo engine outputs an impressive 184kW and 340Nm. It’s expected to be priced at about $45,000.
BENTLEY CONTINENANTAL SUPERSPORTS
Decadence on wheels is the best way to describe the fastest Bentley ever made. The continental Supersports is based on the GT coupe that was introduced six years ago, but it has been the gym. No, actually, it’s been to the Institute of Sport. Its twin turbo 6.0-litre W12 engine (that’s two V8s back-to-back) has more power (463kW and 800Nm) and the body has shed almost 100kg by using lightweight wheels, sports seats and ditching the back seats altogether and replacing them with a luggage net. Even though it’s still a rather lardy 2240kg, it completes the 0 to 100km/h run in just 3.9 seconds. It’s on sale in the first half of 2010 for in excess of $500,000.
JAGUAR XJ
The new, even more upmarket Jaguar Xj promises to the world’s most comfortable limousine. Expected midyear, the Xj is competing with the the Maserati Quattroporte and Porsche Panamera, and has a price to match ($193,800 to $362,800). Powered by a 3.0-litre turbo diesel or a range of 5.0-litre V8s (in regular or supercharged guise) the Xj will make sure you get to work on time. It also has one of the coolest gadgets of the year: the screen on the dashboard can display two views at once. The driver only sees the navigation while the front passenger can watch a movie.
VOLKSWAGEN GOLF R
In the generation Golf R-the successor to the R32-a 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder sits where a bulky V6 used to be. But R32 fans need not despair: the new engine is even more powerful (199kW and 350Nm). Indeed, the Golf R is the fastest Golf ever, completing the 0 to 100km/h dash in just 5.5 seconds, a full second quicker than the old model. It’ll be priced from about $56,000 and probably arrive midyear.
MERCEDES-BENZ SLS GULLWING
The legendary Gullwing Mercedes is making a return after a six-decade absence, and there’s much more to it than doors that flap open like a seagull’s wings. Powered by a 6.2-litre V8 with a seven-speed twin clutch automatic transmission, it can reach 100km/h in 3.8 seconds and has a top speed of 317km/h. True, the Gullwing has less power and torgue (420kW/650Nm) than the SLR but it’s 200kg lighter. Expect to pay about $650,000 when it arrives mid-year.

DON’T LIE WITH YOUR FACEBOOK PHOTO Are you considering a Facebook “face-lift”? You know, posting a vintage photo from when you still had hair? Or are you thinking of getting a professional head shot to make your profile look more polished? You may be telling people more than you think. Facebook is a window on the soul. If you’re needy, neurotic or vain, people will notice. That’s the upshot of a recent socialpsychology article titled ‘Narcissism and Social Networking Web Sites’.
NEVER BROADCAST
YOUR RELATIONSHIP
STATUS
Laura Buffardi and W. Keith Campbell of the University of Georgia recruited undergrads to complete the Narcissistic Personality Inventory. Then they enlisted a separate set of students to examine the first group’s Facebook pages and speculate on their personalities. According to Buffardi, participants who used sexed-up photos were judged to be attractive and highly “agentic” (ie. Competent and capable).
THE DEMISE OF A RELATIONSHIP Can be lengthy, dramatic, and downright ambiguous. When you and your maybe-likely-soon-to-be ex cease to be an item and revert to singlehood, when should revise your online relationship status? Just because Facebook offers boil down to be choices offered in a pulldown menu. Sharing such news is best done in person. Researching faceto-face encounters in the ‘60s and ‘70s, American psychologist Albert Mehrabian concluded that information about “feelings and attitudes” comes seven per cent
“However, they were also seen as narcissistic which we speculate was not their intention.” Just by looking at photos, strangers we able to correctly peg the narcissism scores of subjects with excessive self-regard. Stick with a recent, normal snapshot unless you want to look like a tool. David Downs
from words, 38 per cent from tone of voice, and 55 percent from body language and facial expression. An indicator that’s confined to “Single”, “In a relationship” or “ it’s complicated” is missing 93 percents of that crucial information. Using such shorthand to declare a breakup is like announcing you’re going to sleep by pounding the lamp with a hammer. It gets the point across, but you’re likely to leave a mess behind. At best, changing your status is an indelicate way to inform friends about a delicate matter. (If you’re making the change to update a

former significant other, it’s downright passiveaggressive and you deserve to be permanently solo.) A more prudent way to go: remove the relationship status line altogether. That way, you can tell people who matter in a more personal, emotion-enable medium. Douglas Wolk
DON’T FOLLOW MORE PEOPLE THAN FOLLOW YOU
IF YOUR CALL DROPS, OUT CALL BACK SMALL TALK’S A bithc, but sometimes pleasantries are necessary, especially over the telephone. When the first calls were made in the late 1870s, someone had to invent a greeting that didn’t rely on visual cues; without a formal introduction or a handshake to kick off conversation, there was no way to tell you were connected. Alexander Graham Bell was a fan of answering the phone with “Ahoy, Ahoy” but, strangely, the phrase didn’t stick. ( Yes, that’s where Mr. Burns got his greeting.) Within a couple of years, “Hello”(the preferred salutation of
Bell’s rival Thomas Edison) became standard. “Telephone talk has discrete boundaries at points of opening and closing, “Says Julia Gillen, a lecturer in digital literacy at England’s Lancaster University. And those conventions are imbued from the crib. In Gillen’s study of language learning in young children, she found kids’ earliest play with telephones would “tend to begin with ‘hello’ and end with ‘goodbye’ “. So what should you do if spotty coverage lops off the call before the closing bookend? (“Well, I really should get going.
I’m trying to…”) Even if there’s not much left to say, the redial button is obligatory. Otherwise, the likely effect is either confusion (think colleagues or parents) or insult (think boss or partner). “Communication is not just about accomplishing tasks, “says Gregory Shepherd, dean of Scripps College of Communication, Ohio. “It’s about managing relationships.” So call back to say goodbye , even if you had them at hello…hello? RACHEL SWABY.
NEVER UNFOLLOW SOMEONE JUST BECAUSE THEY
UNFOLLOWED YOU How humiliating: you tried to send a direct message to a remember of your Twitter coterie but couldn’t because they quit following your tweets. Should you repay the snub by unfollowing your former follower? Not so fast. The relationships as either communal or exchange. In a communal relationship, participants are
concerned with one another’s welfarethink of family and close friends. An exchange relationship is all about what you get out of it, the kind of amicable alliance one forges with a client or bartender. Which kind of association did you have with the person who dumped you? If you follow someone primarily because you
feel friendly, it’s a communal relationship. In this case, the appropriate thing to do is to continue following. After all, you care about the individual; if you expected a quid pro quo, you didn’t have much of friendship to begin with. In face, a 1996 study found that people in communal relationships were more likely than
those in exchange relationships to view demands or offers of reciprocity as a betrayal. If, on the other hand, the ex-follower isn’t a friend, you have an exchange relationship: a mutually beneficial trade in links, information, and follower counts. Funny thing is, the unfollowing doesn’t really change that. Sure, you can’t count
the person as a follower, but you can still get perspective and yucks in 140-character bursts. Meanwhile, you contribute to their influence and follower tally. And while having a huge network is good for the ego, being in the know beats being popular any day. Mathew Honan.

Free Time DELETE UnWANTED POSTS FROM YOUR FACEBOOK WALL
Your father was right: you will be judged by the company you keep. So when your uni pals litter your Facebook wall with sexist jokes or embarrassing tales of drunken misadventure, people may think you’re like them. And with good reason: association does appear to be a reliable indicator of guilt. A 2005 study sponsored by the US Air Force analysed a Department of Defense database containing simulated profiles of thousands of people, including terrorists who weren’t identified as such. Special software sniffed out links and interaction among the profiles. Lo and behold, these associations unmasked the malicious actors. Such guilt-by-associated with them by time and space,” says Judith Donath, director of the Sociable Media Group at the MIT Media Lab. “But sites like Facebook collapse groups of people you know from different circumstances. “In other words, online social networks merge your barely overlapping social Venn diagram into concentric circles- with you in the bullseye. The only way out is to police your wall, even asking friends to remove incriminating pics that weren’t meant for public consumption. “You might damage a friendship,” Donath says. “but that’s one of the costs of the collapse of social circles.” Then again, you could migrate to MySpace. Nobody pays attention to anything written there MATHE HONAN
NEVER BCC ANYONE.
DON’T BLOG OR TWEET ANYTHING THAT HAS MORE THAN HALF A MILLION HITS
You come across something hilarious online and want to pass it along to your friends. But are you hopping on a trend that’s past its expiration date? Answering that question isn’t as simple as you’d think. Just ask Jonah Berger, a professor at the university of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School who has been studying how trends rise and fall for almost a decade. In his most recent work, Berger looked at changing fashions in baby names. Examining a century’s worth of data, he and his colleges discovered that the quicker a name came into vogue, the quicker it went out. Because fads are perceived negatively, parents tend to shun names that have seen a sharp increase in popularity. “ If it came out of nowhere, it might not persist that long,” he says. [In Berger’s opinion, the same holds true for Internet videos. Andy Samberg and Justin Timberlake’s ‘Dick in a Box’ clip catapulted to prominence in December 2006. For a couple of weeks, it stormed the Web and seemed to be reposted everywhere. Then it disappeared. If you posted it in late January, you would have looked like a rank newbie. [ “The things we forward, tweet, or post send a message about who we are,” Berger says. “And you don’t want the message to be that you’re behind the curve.” [ Before you share something, you have to analyze what Berger calls. “The velocity of adoption.” If that hilarious Web video has been percolating below the radar, posting it will make you look good even if it’s racked up big numbers in just a month, don’t risk your reputation. If you something has fewer than half a million hitseven if it’s been around a while –go for it. Otherwise, skip it, no matter how recently it entered the ether. JOSHUA DAVIS
DON’T TYPE BRB. JUST GO AND COME BACK
TEXTING IS OK WHILE THE COMPANY OF OTHERS Traditional mores say that texting when you’re is rude. But is it really? Just look at today’s teenagers tomorrow’s arbiters of behavior. For them, SMSing one person while hanging out with another is normal and expected; it may even be an inclusive gesture. Cultural anthropologists who have studied teen texting agree that it isn’t just about instant gratification. According to Mimi Ito, an expect on the mobile phone habits of Japanese teens, texting those who couldn’t be there lets everyone feel they’re part of a larger social network. Indeed, may draw no distinction between socializing in person or by phone, and they see no reason to favor one over the other. Teenage manners rarely offer a model of etiquette, but here they reflect a great technological divide. This is the first generation to grow up with ubiquitous mobile access, and young folks are bound to carry the attitudes they’ve developed into adulthood. Like it or not, current teenage-texting habits will soon be the general norm. Here’s a rule of thumb for those of us playing catch-up: feel free to text while talking or dining with friend but only if you’re trying to include someone who isn’t there. If your movie is to shut out people you’re with, you already know the answer. Public environments where stranger are present bring up other issues. It’s teen nature to want to text your pals during a movie, but the bright displays on modern phones pose a serious distraction to those around you. In this sense, public texting could be compared to public smoking: is it intrusive in a way that will annoy people near you? If so, thumbs down. Christoper Null
YOU CAN REINVENT YOURSELF ONLINE The old days sure were a blast, when the only thing flowing faster than the Wild Turkey was the stream of phone-cam shots of you and your entourage tearing up VIP lounges. But now that you’ve got a real job, your intemperate posts, incriminating photos, and rep as a party animal aren’t really something you want your boss to know about. If you online persona has become a digital albatross, it’s time for a makeover. You don’t have to move to the Caribbean or fry your fingertips with lye. Instead, think like a corporation: rebrand. Just as Anderson Consulting metamorphosed into Accenture when its namesake got tangled in accounting scandals, you can declare indentify bankruptcy and start fresh. “Online, people are discovered for who they really are, which is exactly what happens with brands, “say Andy Bateman, a CEO at corporate-identity specialist Interbrand. Bateman cites four keys to successful rebranding: > INDIVIDUALITY. Figure out specially what distinguishes the new you from the old. “Successful brands focus on what makes them distinct and relevant.” > AUTHENTICITY. You can’t fake core values. They need to be genuine aspect of your personality. “If you choose a course of action that’s not authentic, you won’t be able to keep it up.” > COMMIMENT. This is no one-shot deal. You have to make a lasting turnaround. “Commit and never waver.” > COMMUNICATION. Broadcast the new you. Delete your Facebook profile, start a blog with a fresh domain, revise your username throughout the Net, and post relentlessly to create a massive new Google footprint. And if none of that works, well, we hear it’s sunny in Bali. Mathew Honan

Free Time Singapore Sling Actually sling is old mixed drink which made with strong spirit (like gin), water and sugar. This drink is no so popular today. This mixed drink continue now to its famous version - Singapore Sling. One of the simplest recipe of Singapore Sling we found in one of our Salvatore Calabrese book. We notice that is not original version, but this recipe is so use. 40 ml gin 20 ml cherry-brandy liqueur 20 ml fresh lemon juice Soda Shake (except soda) and strain into collins glass. Add soda. Garnish with a lemon wedge and red maraschino cherry. It is so dry cocktail with bitternes of cherry. The taste of this Singapore Sling depend on cherry-brandy. I use cherry-brandy liqueur by BOLS. Also I use famous Cherry Heering Liqueur by Peter Heering with great results. The “Original” Singapore Sling is more compose drink. This version is average from two recipes from The Essential Bartender’s Guide by Robert Hess and Vintage Spirits and Forgotten Cocktails by Ted Haigh with a hint of The Essential Cocktail by Dale Degroff :) . The Bramble The Bramble Cocktail was created by famous english bartender Richard “Dick” Bradsell in the mid 1980s. This cocktail is very popular in England. This modern cocktail has strong classic base. The original version include gin (preferable plymouth), lemon juice, sugar syrup and creme de mure (blackberry liqueur). 45 ml Plymouth gin 20 ml fresh lemon juice 15 ml simple syrup 20 ml creme de mure (blackberry liqueur) Build gin, juice and syrup over crushed ice in a olf-fashioned glass. Stir, the pour over liqueur. Garnish with a lemon slice and two raspberries. The Bramble Cocktail is very interesting so sweet but refreshing drink with great blackberry and gin palate.

THE SEVEN AGELLESS PRINCIPLES
1. Awareness and active engagement Be self aware by looking closely at your diet, and stress and activity levels, and taking the time to change bad habits rather than ‘ falling asleep at the wheel’. 2. Clear and realistic goals Slow ageing isn’t aimless meander. You have to be clear and realistic about what you’re prepared to do, when and how. 3. Accentuate the positive Rather than a ‘ scary’ process that inevitably leads to decline, ageing should be seen as a positive growth experience. 4. Make choices that are sustainable Slow solution are long-term solutions for ongoing problems-they are never a quick fix or fad.
5. Don’t be exclusive The key to slow ageing is not a single antioxidant or exercise regimen. It’s about understanding the options. 6. Support is our there Even when you sit in the driver’s seat, it helps to have a navigator, whether it’s a doctor, dietitian, trainer, friend or family member. 7. Do what’s right for you There are no generic answers to ageing, so do the right thing for you, at the right place, and stick to it.

Sticky Tape What it might do: Pull out a splinter HOUSEHOLD HELPER #4
So says the team of doctors, nurses and pharmacists behind the helpful tome 1801 Household Remedies: Trustworthy Treatments for Everyday Health Problems (Reader’s Digest, $59.97). They say that if part of the splinter, no matter how small, is sticking out from the skin, sticky tape might remove it. Simply stick the tape on and press down gently then, as you lift the tape, pull gently. Small splinters will lift right out. If you’re not too sure how big the pieces is, grab a torch and shine it against the skin (you may need to dim the lights). This will help you to see exactly how deep the splinter is embedded.

Avocados What is the nutritional value of avocados?
Q
”Does avocado have good or bad fat? How many should you eat in a week? How many calories (kilojoules) does an avocado have and what are the other food values of an avocado?” Lesley
A
“Most fruit and vegetables are very low in fat. Avocados – a fruit not a vegetable – are the exception, and some people avoid them on this basis as they consider them ‘fattening’. Here’s what you need to know: * While avocados are around 25% fat, only a small part of this is saturated fat. This high ratio of unsaturated fats to saturated fats – around 4:1 – makes avocados good for heart health. If you are of normal weight or underweight, you can eat them freely. * While the kilojoule value of avocados is high compared to other fruit or vegetables, it is low compared to butter, spread or cheese – foods which it commonly replaces on bread. For people watching their weight, using avocado as a replacement to other fatty spreads is a sensible choice. Weight for weight, avocado has less than a third of the kilojoules of butter, as well as containing much healthier fats. One tablespoon of avocado contains 150kJ compared to the same amount of butter, with 460kJ. * It is important, however, to remember that eating whole avocados on a regular basis can contribute to a kilojoule overload. So if you’re watching your weight, take care. An average avocado provides over 1600kJ. * Apart from the heart-friendly unsaturated fats, avocados are rich in vitamin E, a powerful antioxidant that protects against heart disease and various forms of cancer. Avocados also have folate, (a vitamin which protects against birth defects and heart disease), potassium, and other vitamins and minerals, making them a healthy choice. * There are no recommendations on how many avocados should be eaten in a week. You can live nutritionally without them so how many you can eat depends primarily on your weight. Yes, avocados are relatively high in kilojoules and fat, but they contain valuable nutrients including heart-friendly fats. As an alternative to butter or spread on bread, they are a good choice. But because of the high kilojoule density of avocados, people watching their weight should be mindful of how many they eat.”
Tomato intolerance What can be used instead of tomatoes in cooking?
Q
”My husband and children have a tomato intolerance. I really miss lasagne and other quick and healthy meals which have canned tomatoes in them. Do you have any ideas on what I could use as a replacement?” Karen
A
We asked Bronwen King, a chef and registered nutritionist, to help out: “While I can’t think of a single commercial product that could successfully replace canned tomatoes in savoury dishes, I do have some helpful suggestions. * Make large quantities of tomato-free pasta sauce. Freeze in portions and use instead of canned tomatoes in recipes such as pasta sauces and lasagne. * Make your own savoury plum sauce. Reduce the sugar in a normal plum sauce recipe. Use this in cooking instead of tomato paste on pizzas, for example. * Use a traditional (sweeter) plum sauce instead of tomato sauce.
Milk
Coconut cream vs evaporated milk
Tea/coffee and dry skin
Dried milk powder is much cheaper, Which is healthier – lite coconut cream but is it as nutrious as fresh milk? or evaporated milk?
Are decaffeinated coffee and tea diuretics?
Q
Q
Q
”What’s the nutritional difference ”I recently purchased some cocobetween fresh milk and dried milk which nut-flavoured lite evaporated milk to use has been reconstituted? Is the calcium still instead of lite coconut cream. One has a active?” higher fat content and the other a higher sugar content, so which one is the healthiGlenda est?”
A
You will be pleased to hear that reconstituted powdered milk has the same nutritional value as the fresh varieties. Powdered milk is fresh milk (normally whole or trim) which has been dried. During the drying process, the water part of the milk is evaporated off and dried milk particles are left. To stop the milk from clumping, a natural product called lecithin is added. Powdered milk can be reconstituted by adding water, and then it needs to be treated in the same way as fresh milk and stored in the fridge. All nutrients including protein, phosphate, calcium, magnesium, potassium and vitamin B12 remain active in the milk powder and are still active when water is added back.

”Can you tell me if decaffeinated coffee and tea are diuretics and would cutting all tea/coffee, whether decaf or not, help my dry skin?”
Dietitian Amanda Johnson re-
sponds: “Coconut-flavoured lite evaporated milk is around 98.5% fat-free. It does contain some sugar but the amount present is relatively low (around 2 tsp per 100mls). It can be used as a substitute for coconut cream in recipes such as creamy pasta dishes, soups and curries and just by simply replacing the coconut cream with the lite evaporated milk you’ll find that the kilojoule and fat content of your meal is much lower. Lite coconut cream is a little higher in kilojoules and fat than the coconut-flavoured lite evaporated milk, but contains hardly any sugar. It is a much better option than the standard coconut cream and can also be used as a substitute in a variety of recipes. If you are using lite coconut cream just remember it does still contain some fat, so avoid using excessive amounts if you’re watching your fat intake. Both of these options are a great alternative to coconut cream, which is high in fat (particularly saturated fat) and kilojoules. Whether you choose the coconut-flavoured lite evaporated milk or the lite coconut cream is really a matter of personal preference and it may well depend on what works best in the particular recipe you are preparing. It is the overall balance of the diet that is important, and by choosing products that are lower in sugar and fat, you’ll certainly be on the right track.”
Jeni Pearce, dietitian, responds:
“High consumption of caffeine (over five cups of strong tea or coffee) by people who don’t regularly consume that much caffeine will have a diuretic effect, which means the kidneys will produce more urine. This can have a dehydrating effect overall. Decaffeinated drinks can still contain small amounts of caffeine – but they must have at least 97% of the caffeine removed. The amount remaining will vary depending on the process used. Even though decaf drinks may contain some caffeine, you couldn’t drink enough to produce a diuretic effect from the caffeine. (But remember: if you drink vast quantities of any liquid, you’ll need to ‘go to the bathroom’ more frequently.) Maintaining hydration is recommended for healthy skin as well as overall health. We need to drink regularly on hot humid summer days; but remember that the same goes for winter time if you are in a heated environment. So if

A: I think the most thrilling time when my friends and I went to massage together.
A: I had a wonderful time listening to Khmer music and attempting to dance Khmai at a Khmer nightclub. It was wonderful to see the variety of fashions, the dresses, jewelry, and hair styles. I was amazed at the graceful and exotic dancing and the visible joy the couples seem to have, although their faces reflected a high degree of concentration. It was a night to remember and I have certainly made it a point to return.

Horoscope Virgo (23 Aug - 22 Sep) Strong undercurrents from other people are making you feel a little on edge. It seems everyone’s behaving oddly as though the sun’s gone to their heads. Even you’re acting a bit out of character. However you should be able to smooth over any brewing trouble with soothing words that just roll off the tongue. Those dulcet tones could prove very useful in July when someone special is seduced by your pleasing manner. But charm disguises a burning inside which is demanding release. You can easily deliver on the passionate promises you utter. There’s no escaping when you switch on the charm offensive.
Sagittarius (22 Nov - 21 Dec) You’re feeling wonderfully energized as the month starts, leaving others in your wake as you bounce from one task to another. Watch out for ego clashes with other strong personalities who want the limelight too. Mid July sees you embroiled in heated exchanges with individuals for whom you can barely disguise your passion. Pluto in your sign harmoniously connected with Mars and Venus sends your pulse racing and your mind conjuring up all sorts of thrilling escapades for yourself and your amour. You are a born traveller and philanthropist and now is a great time to in indulge both of these.
CANCER (22 Jun - 22 Jul) You’re full of life this month, but what exactly are you achieving from all this activity? There’s a chance you’ll be getting little in return for all your gallant efforts. This can be frustrating but a bright idea at the end of the month will help you find a solution to this. You’re likely to feel all hot and bothered this July, but try not to let the sun go your head. Just remember that keeping call means keeping calm. The best advice for you is avoid mid day burn out and instead make the most of warm balmy nights which is much more your style. Evenings are your time so get plenty of siestas in order to make the most of those midnight fiestas.
Leo (23 July - 22 Aug) July sees you at your most charming. Smooth talk comes easily and you’re quite happy to use it on any unsuspecting individual you take a shine to. You adore attention and there’s no shortage this month, but you’re generous with praise too and people will love to bask in the warm glow you’re emitting. It’ll leave you walking on cloud nine and everyone is going to know about it! You’re in for some summer sizzle this July with an equally fiery partner and there could be a connection with foreign places too. Perhaps a holiday romance or a romantic interlude with someone from abroad is on the cards. Either way you’re in for a good time.
Taurus (20 Apr - 20th May) You start the month focused and wanting to be taken seriously. Others will be convinced by your methodical approach making this an ideal time to deal with officials like bank managers, accountants and bosses. Things will soon lighten up for you, an encounter with someone who ‘lights your candle’ perhaps. Expect life to get really hot when your ruler Venus teams up with fiery Mars and Pluto promising fireworks mid July. You can be sure this situation will remain steamy and by the end of the month when Venus links with unpredictable Uranus you could find yourself acting in a way that surprises everyone as well as you.
Capricorn (22 Dec- 16 Jan) The month begins with a feeling of harmony and balance and you are feeling a bit more confident about your financial circumstances. You feel at ease expressing your deeper feelings to loved ones too. However as the month moves forward the possibility of some tension between your work and domestic life increases, but any challenges you face could be a positive way of clearing the air and therefore making progress in both these areas. If the tension in the air does boil over you can be consoled by the fact that it’s all a storm in a tea cup and will settle soon.
Libra (23 Sep- 22 Oct) You’re determined to set the world on fire in July. You’re feeling hot and ready to take the plunge with someone special. The passion and ferocity of Mars and Pluto join up with your ruler Venus this month giving you the power to set pulses racing. No one will be able to resist your confidence. This is an important month in an important year for you. With expansive Jupiter in your sign (it only happens once every twelve years) it’s time for you to make the most of each opportunity that comes your way. Expect to be seeing more of the world and letting the world see more of you.
Scorpio (23 Oct - 21 Nov) A powerful and meaningful connection with someone is on the cards, whether you know them or not already. Your ruler Pluto in harmony with Mars and Venus means love and passion in equal measures. You’re a force to be reckoned with and when you set your sights on your ideal partner there will be no stopping you getting them, whether they like it or not! I doubt anyone would argue with you even if they could, it’s a huge ego boost to be so utterly adored. You may also be tempted to take a big financial risk this month, but practice caution if you can because there’s no guarantee of a settled outcome.
Aries (21 March - 19 Apr)
Pisces (19 Feb - 20 Mar)
The summer heat could go straight to your head in July. With fiery Mars in your sign tempers and temperatures are set to soar into the stratosphere. A difficult aspect from Mars to the area of your chart ruling home and family could see you clashing with your nearest and dearest. A better way to channel this energy is into love and sex especially in the middle of the month when your ruler forms a devastating link with romantic Venus and passionate Pluto. By the end of July your energy levels will settle to a more constant and manageable pace, perfect for getting on top of any practical issues.
July is a good month to pour your energy into sorting out money matters and embarking on schemes that will see your cash working harder for you. Thinking of all the adventures you could soon afford to go on will be more than enough of an incentive to get wise with your dough - money equals freedom for you this month. Be careful not to fall for the charms of sweet talkers who aren’t exactly what they are making themselves out to be. Overall you can expect to be putting in a lot of effort this month and working hard in a lot of areas in your life but things will settle down toward the end of July.
Aquarius (20 Jan - 18 Feb) Arguments with siblings, close friends and partners are possible this month and any trouble that does occur could simple be little more than hot air and bravado from all parties concerned. Day to day activities and getting about your normal routine, things you normally take for granted, could be fraught with complications and upsets in July. Try not to be everywhere at once or race about trying to achieve too many things; no one is expecting miracles so stop trying to perform them. Relationships have taken a serious turn recently, and this will become a focus of the month, but you should start seeing the situation more clearly.
Gemini (21 May -21 Jun) Keeping a watchful eye on the cash flow can be dreary, especially when your friends our out making the most of summer. It can feel as if you’re missing out on all the fun. But don’t despair because when you’re off on a bigger better holiday than everyone else you’ll be glad you saved your dough. You can expect to feel the heat this summer in more ways than one. Your ruler Mercury is involved in a dramatic link between some very sexy planets - Mars, Venus and Pluto. So you will soon find your love life reaching boiling point by mid July. Your intellect is sharp now so use the benefits of this by using bits of information you have to your advantage.
