Task management software is a type of project management software that allows users to manage, share and track project tasks. This guide will help prospective buyers in the market for a new task management solution understand this type of software and make a more informed purchase decision.
Here's what we'll cover:
What Is Task Management Software?
What Type of Buyer Are You?
Common Functionality
Key Benefits of Task Management Software
Market Trends to Understand
Task management software tends to have fewer features than standard project management platforms. That's because it is intended to be used by entire teams, not just by managers or "power users." The focus of task management tools is strictly execution-oriented, centered on organizing and managing tasks. Thus, these solutions tend to be limited when it comes to budgeting or cost-estimating capabilities.
Task management solutions are used by individuals or a groups to collaborate with each other and accomplish shared goals. Various aspects of a task, such as the status, timelines, priority, update notifications and resource allocation, are handled by the software. It automates tasks and enables team members to plan and schedule multiple tasks according to the set deadlines.
To-do list in Asana
While most task management systems can generally be used in a variety of different workplaces, some systems are better suited to particular industries. For example, a software firm will likely want task management software that is optimized for an agile development methodology, such as Trello, while a construction firm will likely need an industry-specific system that offers greater project management functionality.
Also, the size of your organization and team plays an important role when selecting the right task management solution. Here are the few features you should consider depending on your buyer type:
Freelancer: These individuals use a task management solution to boost their productivity and ensure that deadlines are not missed. Key features, such as notifications, to-do-lists and mobile support, are essential for them. They generally don't require more sophisticated features, such as document version management, collaboration and file rights management.
SMBs: These organizations need a task management solution to manage a project and make sure that everyone is assigned responsibilities. Collaboration is their key requirement. Since multiple people often work on a single project, they need a collaborative workspace where team members can communicate and share files with each other in real time.
Here are some tools you can find in most task management applications:
To-do lists. Every task management application will offer to-do lists in some form. These display the tasks that need to be completed by an individual or by a team and are typically organized by project.
Audit trails. Many task management tools feature audit trails, which allow users to see a task's entire history and any modifications that have been made to it.
Mobile support. Most task management systems offer mobile support for smart devices—typically in the form of an app that syncs a user's information and tasks to their device.
Integrations. Some task management applications can integrate with email clients, such as Gmail or Microsoft Outlook, or cloud storage services, such as Dropbox or Google Drive.
Document control. Some task management solutions allow users to share documents directly through the application.
File sync and sharing. Some task management solutions offer version management and control features that provides access to the latest versions of documents. Also, past versions of documents are stored for future reference or to handle accidental data modification.
Task planning and scheduling. Task management solutions enable people to create team projects and assign them the responsibility for task completion within the stipulated timeline.
Notifications. Automatic notifications are sent to individuals or a team as soon as something happens. They can be about task completion, deletion or new feature of the tool. Also, these notifications can be customized with various options and triggers.

Improved employee productivity: Task management software clearly assign duties and responsibilities of a task to all the team members along with a deadline. This enables employees to focus on their tasks and ensure that they're completed on time. It also helps with task and time tracking, which allows team managers to know the exact task status at any given point.
Satisfied customers: Users can allow customers to access their task management solution to enable clear communication between them. Also, you can control the access to some features and offer customers as much visibility about the project as is mandated. This feature also ensures that customers and project managers are at the same level of awareness and lets them resolve issues in real time.
Simplified project management: The tool enables task managers to create subtasks within tasks by simply adding a checklist feature. This feature helps them easily manage their task and strike off each subtask upon completion. Also, filters allow them to view the status of multiple tasks based on the people, status, project, due date and priority.
Scalability: Most task management tools are priced under a monthly subscription based on the number of users who will need to access the system. If you expect your team to grow significantly in the near term, you should consider how much more the software could cost.
Open-source solution: There are also many free or open-source task management applications. While these can be a good solution for smaller teams, it is important to keep in mind that such software often offers no guarantee of support or regular updates. There can also be security concerns with free or open-source task management applications—something to consider if your team is sharing sensitive files.
Flexibility: With organizations operating across multiple geographies, it becomes necessary that people can access the solution anytime and from anywhere. The solution should also offer standard user functions across all devices including tablets, smartphones, desktops and laptops. They should be able to receive SMS and email notifications about pending tasks or about approaching deadline.
Our service is simple and 100% free to customers like you because software vendors pay us when we connect them with quality leads. You save time and get great advice. Vendors get great referrals. It's a win for everyone!

Oh Furuchi how you cease to amuse me to no end
My hero of the week, why?
simple he gave me my tsundere or is that just deredere(?) Hilda-chan!
I love the workings of his inner thoughts, his denial of his current situation and putting his mind straight which gives us a lovely Hilda-chan image. His determination is praise worthy, he won't waver it seems
The training still going strong with the humor, Oga and his Krillin bro posse moving on with their training.
I have to agree I expected Oga to do something rather cliche in order to break the rock but that wasn't quite so, maybe cliche for this series but not for shounen training regimes.
Where was the sheer will power and determination needed in order to break the rock?!
No we get other evil ways in order to get our result
and once again I'm totally amused by the gang, they really have come together quite well.

Penn Charter prevailed in the top two individual matches in last Thursday's squash season opener, but before junior Margaux Losty and sophomore Izzy Hirshberg even took to the court, visiting Shipley School had carried the day.
The Gators won six of the seven bouts in positions three through nine to emerge with a 6-3 team victory. The third individual win for the Quakers came courtesy of number five Ryann Shaffer, a senior co-captain for PC along with number six Emma Ebert.
Charter is launching the season without two longtime varsity mainstays, 2012 graduates Tara Harrington (Princeton) and Amanda Roberts (Yale). The Quakers also lost a little depth farther down the ladder, as number nine Suzy Bonn also moved on.
While Thursday's contest was the 2012-2013 debut for Penn Charter, Shipley had already played three matches, defeating Conestoga High School and losing to Springside Chestnut Hill Academy and Lawrenceville.
The early results didn't bode well for PC, as the Gators secured wins at the last four positions on the ladder and needed just one more individual victory to clinch the overall match.
Ebert lost in the sixth spot to a fellow senior, Zara Sternberg, 11-7, 11-9, 11-5, and one rung below another upperclassman, PC's Natalie Badawy, bowed 11-3, 11-2, 11-0 to sophomore Sara French of the Gators. Charter senior Rachael Garnick, a veteran softball player who only recently took up squash, performed better as her match progressed, but visiting number eight Chelsea Shanis, a junior, still came away the winner, 11-2, 11-8, 11-9. Gators senior Abbie Spector was an 11-8, 11-4, 11-6 victor in the ninth spot, where she faced Jordyn Schwartz, a freshman on the host team.
Shaffer, at number five, snagged the first win for the Quakers, beating Britt Lovett, a Shipley ninth-grader, 11-4, 11-7, 11-8. Shipley sewed up the team triumph in a bout between juniors at number three, where Anna Martin meted out an 11-5, 11-5, 11-9 defeat to Danielle Reisley of Penn Charter.
In the only contest to extend beyond the three-game minimum, PC junior Leigh Steinberg carried the first two segments in the number four match, 11-7, 11-8. Shipley senior Carli Ladda stopped her slide in the third round, winning 11-7, and she went on to nail down the next two games, 11-8, 11-5.
Although they couldn't reverse the outcome, PC's top two at least provided some entertainment for the home fans at the end of the day. Hirshberg overwhelmed Annie Lovett, the Gators' senior number two, 11-0, 11-4, 11-1, and in the premier position Losty outlasted sophomore Pinky Rowe in the opener, 12-10, and then won the next two games more easily, 11-3, 11-5.

Al Muhaddith – Shaikh Husain Hasan Sa`biyyah
Shaikh Husain Hasan Sa`biyyah
Summarized from Shaikh Salaah Fakhri's Arabic book "Qurratul `Uyoon" by Orfan Rabbat.
(Additions by Orfan Rabbat are between parentheses.)
Shaikh Husain Hasan Sa`biyyah was born in 1945 AD in Haifa, Palestine, and grew up in Beirut, a righteous youth uncommon among his peers.
Then he got acquainted with Shaikh Mukhtaar Al-`Alaayily, "ameen el fataawa", and studied under him for four years (together with Shaikh Salaah Fakhri). After that, they decided to dedicate themselves to the study of Islamic Sciences and asked their teacher's advice. Sheikh Mukhtaar directed them to Shaikh Saaleh Farfour's school in Damascus: Ma`had al Fath al Islaami.
After joining Ma`had al Fath, he made the acquaintance of Shaikh Mahmoud al Rankousi, may Allaah have Mercy on him. He accompanied him and used to attend his private lessons (at Dar el Hadeeth while still studying at Ma`had al Fath al Islaami). Later on, he also took the Naqshbandi way from Shaikh Mahmoud.
(As years went by, his time became more and more dedicated to the service of Dar el Hadeeth, until there came years when he would daily walk almost half through the city of Damascus, from his house to Shaikh Mahmoud's house after the Fajr prayer, to walk with him to Dar el Hadeeth.)

People age 65 and over in Henderson County are finding it harder to make ends meet. Living costs are higher, especially for healthcare; economic uncertainty continues. At the same time, life circumstances change due to illness, loss of spouse or growing needs for help with daily living tasks.
Social Security is the principal source of income and security for 50% of people age 65 and older receiving Social Security benefits. Social Security is the only source of income for one out of three persons age 65 or older in NC, according to the AARP.
In fact, 51% of people in North Carolina age 65 and older would live at or below the official poverty line without Social Security. Because of Social Security benefits, only 10% live at or below the poverty line.
In FY 2011, the average Henderson County Social Security annual benefit was $14,347 for a single person and the federal poverty level was $10,890. For a couple, the average Henderson County Social Security annual benefit was $23,287 and the federal poverty line was $13,609. The importance of Social Security as a source of income varies in Henderson County townships. The percentage of low income in Blue Ridge is 22% compared to 13% in Green River and 6% in Hendersonville.
Healthcare costs go up for people age 65 and older as they age. People can spend down their retirement savings quickly, especially during recessions. As people age, their savings are depleted. Premium costs of supplemental health and prescription drug coverage to Medicare provide critical protection against high medical costs. In North Carolina, the average health care cost for a person in good health based on Medicare Advantage is $4,260 a year. For a person in good health based on Medigap and Part D Prescription Drug Coverage, the cost is $4,900 per year. For a couple, the costs double because supplement family plans are not available.
Currently making ends meet faces an uncertain future if life circumstances change. The need for home and community-based long-term care can double or even triple a person's expenses. Because Medicare does not pay for home and community long-term care services, this increases the income needed to pay for basic living needs. According to the 2012 report, Elder Economic Security Initiative, in North Carolina the average low-end home and community-based long-term care services adds $6,994 a year to living expenses; average medium-end long-term care services add $18,512 a year to living expenses; and, average high-end services adds $32,400 a year to living expenses.
Here's a true story to put it into perspective:
"I worry about my mom living out in the country all alone, but that's what she says she wants. I'd like to believe everything is fine, but I feel a lot of uncertainty about her. I feel guilty…like I should be doing more. Before her fall, my mom seemed in charge of her life like always. While she was in the hospital, I found out she had many problems I knew nothing about. I guess if I had done the math I would have known she could not cover her bills. Dad died several years ago and mom's spent down the nest egg they saved. I never thought in a million years she would be in this position. Since her fall, she has $300 in prescription drugs and $900 in home care costs every month. Social Security is mom's only income; my brother and I are helping with the bills. Since my brother and I both work, the Council on Aging makes a big difference with daily delivered meals. Mom laughs and says the Meals on Wheels delivery man is older than Methuselah. Mom also gets help through a Medicare savings program through the Department of Social Services that helps pay her monthly Medicare premium. We are so thankful to the Council on Aging Partnership for Independent Living workers who helped set up both of these programs to assist her."
The Board of Social Services is concerned about county older adults having the choice to remain home and independent. How do living expenses change as an older person's health declines? What is enough income to stay at home and age in place? We understand the importance of Social Security as advised by the staff of the Council on Aging and Social Services who work daily with older adults through the Partnership for Independent Living.
Since 1960, poverty for people age 65 or older has dropped from 35% to 10%. Economists attribute this substantial decline in elderly poverty to Social Security. A rigorous report by the National Bureau of Economic Research documents this change. Over the years, Congress has made thirty major changes to Social Security in order to adapt Social Security to current social, political and economic conditions of the country. We can anticipate change #31 by Congress to accommodate today's difficult economic conditions. Hopefully, we will ensure efforts to promote economic health do not undermine the single most important source of retirement income and anti-poverty legislation for people age 65 and older.
Elderly finding it harder to make ends meet
People age 65 and over in Henderson County are finding it harder to make ends meet. Living costs are higher, especially for healthcare; economic uncertainty continues. At the same time, life circumstances change due to illness, loss of spouse or growing needs for help with daily living tasks.

|I load this bullet for several .223 caliber rifles and have been nothing but impressed with the accuracy and the on game performance. If your searching for a bullet to shoot whitetail deer with, look no further this bullet will do it all.

|By far my favorite all purpose go to for my pet load in 223 REM expands quickly and wide for fast kills on small game and holds together for hogs and whitetails , groups usually average .5moa at 200yrds with some measuring as low as .65 inch center to center 5rounds they fare alot better than the lighter weights when the wind picks up

|Excellent bullet designed from the match Bullet , excellent accuracy from1 in 9 barrels, sub MOA. Able to penetrate comp through small white tails, through both shoulders and exiting off side. Powders like H335 and H4895 and TAC produce sub MOA capable groups with velocities between 2800 and 3000 FPS from a20" barrel in 223 Rem.

|I use these 65 gr Sierra Game King's in 5.56x45 with 1/9 twist , a 22-250 AI and a 220 Swift both with 1/10 twist, with MV of 3000 (5.56), 3609(22-250 AI) and 3794 (220 Swift). These bullets have harvested at least 3 whitetails during the first 3 seasons I have used them. Most of them have dropped where they stood. Two made it almost 10 yards. All were shot between 25 to 268 yards. These have become my 1st choice for .224 game bullets; better than all of the competition's bullets put together. I have tried them all.

|Been loading and using for hunting deer / hogs. Awesomely accurate 1/2 MOA, and performs well on game. As I've gotten older, larger hard kicking rifles are no fun. These bullets fill the bill nicely.

|Great bullet, I have shot two deer with this bullet out of a Ruger American 22-250, with a 1-10 twist barrel, at around 3400 fps. It dropped one deer immediately and the other went about five yards and dropped. Both deer were at around 250 yards. This bullet shoots 1/2 MOA out of my Ruger American also. Excellent, excellent, bullet!!

|When you have a little tighter twist, this bullet really hums. Its one of my favorites for deer on down. I have used it for years and am always happy with its performance.

|400 yard neck-breaker for whitetails. I load for a Rem 700 XCR in 223. XX.x gr. of BL-C(2) for a calculated 2900 fps puts these in one hole at 100 meters. The WORST group I've shot with this load measured .432". This rifle shoots everything pretty well, but these bullets are amazing. 40 years of handloading and Sierra experience talkin here. 100 stars!

|Impressive performance in a budget $350 rifle. Savage axis. Nikon 3*9 scope. 65g spbt over 24.9g H 335 yields 2950 fps & .5 moa. Betting that is decent deer load to at least 150y.
|Bruce S of Spokane Valley, Washington
|August 24, 2013
|Suprise ... I was not expecting .4 moa out of my AR with these, The bench was wobbly with only a front bag which made the group that much more of a surprise. Handloaded with 25.0 gr. of H335 and these bullets have me convinced that I dont need to search for another load. Burris 3x9 E1 reticle, Matrix Aerospace upper and lower with a Centurian 16" barrel. Custom built by Jim at Three Gun Nuts. Awesome bullets indeed!

EDMONTON - Christmas is a-comin' and so are all those special goodies we indulge in once a year. Plates and plates of them.
While visions of sugar plums dance in our heads, there's an ever-growing population of allergic or sensitive nibblers, especially children, who cannot tolerate dairy, nuts, egg, egg yolk and/or wheat gluten.
Add to that the serious and rising issues of obesity and Type 2 diabetes, and a significant number of vegetarians, and it's clear that some different options are in order on the party scene.
Coming to the cook's rescue this year are a number of bakers and candy makers who already runneth over with Christmas spirit. Agnes Nemeth of Breadland, 11642 104th Ave., is baking gluten-free focaccia and gluten-free whole grain bread, as well as yeast-free speltbread and cinnamon buns, a spelt tiramisu and delicious pastries. It's all 100 per cent organic. Kinnikinnick Foods, 10940 120th St., has an in-house bakery and carries a large and growing stock of specialty baked goods, gluten-free flours, soups, pastas and other products for allergy sufferers.
Carol's Quality Sweets, 12519 102nd Ave., has a bevy of elves making sugar-free chocolate in all manner of seasonal shapes.
For gluten-free treats at the Old Strathcona Farmers Market, look for The Candyman, with an all-chocolate version of the magical gingerbread house, and their popular Christmas candy packs -- just chocolate, chocolate mint, chocolate with dried blueberries.
To make your Christmas preparations a little easier, and the meals a little merrier, we have a gaggle of recipes for people with special dietary needs.
For openers, here's a vegetarian appetizer inspired by the people at Planet Organic.
It's easy to make and can be refrigerated 24 hours ahead.
Vegan. No dairy, egg, egg yolk, nuts or gluten
Serves 8
- 1 pkg (400 g) firm tofu, pressed
- 1 small inner stalk celery, finely minced
- 1 small red onion, minced
- 2 green onions, finely minced
- 1 cup (250 mL) vegetarian whipped dressing
- 1 tablespoon (15 mL) grainy mustard
- 1 teaspoon (5 mL) curry powder
- salt and pepper
- 8 diagonal slices raw carrot
- 8 inner leaves of romaine heart or endive
Mash tofu with celery, onion, whipped dressing, grainy mustard and curry powder. Stir with a fork until well blended. Salt and pepper to taste. 30 minutes before serving, scoop into the inner heart leaves of romaine or endive, and spread on carrot slices. Dust with paprika.
No dairy, egg yolk, nuts, dairy or gluten.
Makes 36 cookies
- 3/4 cup (175 mL) sugar
- 1 teaspoon (5 mL) pure vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon (15 mL) instant coffee
- 1/2 teaspoon (2 mL) cream of tartar
- 4 egg whites, room temperature
Heat oven to 250 degrees F. Use nonstick cookie sheets, or line regular cookie sheets with parchment paper. In a food processor with a metal blade, process the sugar and coffee powder until the texture of the sugar becomes very fine. In a large mixing bowl, beat the egg whites and vanilla extract with an electric mixer at medium speed, until very frothy. Add cream of tartar, and continue beating at medium speed until soft peaks form. Increase beater speed to high, and gradually beat in sugar-coffee mixture. Continue beating until soft peaks form and mixture has a glossy sheen.
To pipe cookies from pastry bag: Fill pastry bag (or 1-gallon freezer bag), fitted with Number 6 plain round pastry tube, with meringue. Hold bag upright over prepared cookie sheets and squeeze out meringue, leaving pastry tip buried in meringue, until you have piped out a round about 11/2 inches in diameter. Lift up tip and stop squeezing. Leave 1 inch between cookies. Or, drop by tablespoonfuls onto prepared cookie sheet, leaving 2 inches between cookies.
Bake 1 hour without opening oven door. Turn off oven, and let meringues dry in oven 2 hours more without opening oven door. At this point, may be left in the oven overnight.
Remove the meringues from the cookie sheet with a spatula. Store in airtight container.
Dark chocolate and walnuts make these gluten-free cookies extra special for the holidays. Inspired by traditional German macaroons, this light treat is made of meringue and walnuts, drizzled with dark chocolate.
Gluten-free, low in sugar and fat.
Makes about 50 cookies
- 3 large egg whites
- 1/4 tsp (1 mL) each, salt and cream of tartar
- 1 cup (250 mL) sugar
- 2 teaspoon (10 mL) vanilla extract
- 2 cups (500 mL) California walnuts, chopped
- 1/2 cup (125 mL) chocolate, grated
- 3/4 cup (175 mL) dark chocolate, chopped
- 1 tablespoon (15 mL) 35-per-cent whipping cream
Preheat oven to 350 F (180 C).
In a bowl, beat egg whites with salt on medium high speed; gradually add sugar and vanilla and beat until stiff peaks form. Fold in walnuts and chocolate.
To form cookies, use a tablespoon, or a pastry bag fitted with 1-inch (2.5-cm) round tip. For each cookie, pipe about 1 tbsp (15 mL) of dough onto parchment-lined cookie sheet about 2 inches (5 cm) apart. Bake on middle rack for about 15 minutes, until cookies are puffed and tops appear dry. Let cool one minute on pan and transfer to rack cool completely.
Drizzle: Put chopped chocolate and cream in bowl and melt in microwave on high for 1 minute. Stir until completely smooth. Pour melted chocolate into a plastic freezer bag and cut a small hole from the bottom corner to make a piping bag.
Drizzle chocolate over macaroons.

LAKEVILLE — The Freetown-Lakeville Regional School Committee will conduct site visits for all four finalists for the district's school superintendent post.
LAKEVILLE — The Freetown-Lakeville Regional School Committee will conduct site visits for all four finalists for the district's school superintendent post.
That decision came Wednesday night after the committee interviewed the two final candidates for the opening.
Maureen Ward, superintendent of the Franklin-Hill Regional District in New Hampshire, and Linda Carrier, director of curriculum and instruction for the Monson School District, were interviewed the night after fellow finalists Westport Superintendent Carlos Colley and educational consultant Christopher Parker of Westport.
After questioning Ward and Carrier about their experience dealing with regional school districts, their comfort level lobbying for budget increases and how long they would remain as Freetown-Lakeville's superintendent, the committee decided to move forward with all four candidates.
Site visits by School Committee members at the finalists' current positions will be scheduled over the next two weeks and the committee hopes to have its findings in time for its next meeting Feb. 6.
During Wednesday's interviews, Ward called for having open lines of communication with members of the community when advocating for additional funding. Having started her teaching career in the early 1970s, Ward said she would like to work another six or seven years before retiring.
"When the time comes where I'm not successful in promoting education, then it's time to move on and do something else," said Ward.
She touted her extensive experience in regional school districts, including her current position, which includes two municipalities. She previously was an assistant superintendent in New Hampshire for a seven-member district. She said the key to being an effective leader of the schools in a multi-town district is to familiarize oneself with the various town leaders and establish a presence in the community.
"You need to become one of them," said Ward. "Someone who learns from them, not someone who thinks they know it all. All districts want what is best for their children. That's the common goal."
Carrier, who has a lengthy career in education including serving as the director of teaching and learning in Northampton and as a principal in the Westfield School District, said she is looking to settle into a position long-term.
"I'll stay as long as you'll have me," said Carrier. "My nomad days are over."
She favors transparency when petitioning towns for additional funding.
"You need to show folks 'Here's what we are requesting and here's why we're requesting it,'" said Carrier.
Carrier said she is a proponent of building up internal supports in an effort to keep special education students in district as opposed to shipping them out of the school system, which can be a costly venture. She said she takes pride in her ability to work collaboratively with school personnel and prefers staffers who have a desire to continue learning.
"I don't see myself as the person in the spotlight," said Carrier. "I see myself as the person that helps other people shine."

Danbury upsets Wilton in FCIAC girls lacrosse
WILTON -- The midnight hour appeared to have struck for the Danbury High girls lacrosse team in the quest for its first-ever FCIAC playoff victory. After holding a narrow lead for virtually the entire game against No. 4 Wilton, the Hatters found themselves trailing with time quickly running out.
Displaying the resiliency that has carried them all season, the Hatters dug in deep and mustered enough magic to beat both the regulation and overtime bells.
Molly Miller scored the game-tying goal with six seconds left in regulation and the game-winning goal with 2.3 seconds left in overtime -- both off feeds from Raven Winters -- as Danbury advanced to the FCIAC semifinals for the first time with an 8-7 overtime win at Wilton on Friday afternoon. With the victory, its first ever over the Warriors, Danbury will meet Darien in the semifinals Monday.
"It's huge for the program, getting past the first round of FCIAC's," Danbury coach Jaime Williams said. "The girls believed coming into this game they can beat anybody and I told them from day one, preseason conditioning, if they work hard it's going to pay off. It did today."
In a tight game that was never wider than a two-goal margin, Tegan Helms gave Wilton its first lead of the afternoon with 2:20 left in the second half off an outstanding pass from Annie Cornbrooks. Although Wilton won the ensuing draw, Danbury chased the Warriors down and regained possession. Winters found Miller cutting towards the cage for the tying goal.
"It's something we practice," Williams said. "We practice these plays day in and day out and situational things. The girls were able to execute. I was so proud of them that they were able to stay disciplined and make it work."
Overtime was played in two three-minute periods without sudden death rules. Wilton won the draws to start both periods, but couldn't get the looks it wanted and was called for a charge in the crease with 1:09 left in the second OT, giving Danbury possession. The Hatters called timeout soon after, running the clock down far enough to give Winters a chance to win it at the horn.
"I was debating on whether or not I should take it and I had second thoughts," Winters said. "I saw (Miller) and she was doing really well so passed it off and she got the shot."
The shorthanded Warriors, who endured the whole season without standouts Casey Pearsall and Megan Boepple, got goals from Sara Dickinson, Laura Knapp and Charlotte Noels. Winners of three of the previous five FCIAC titles, Wilton failed to reach the final for the second straight season.
"It really stinks because I thought we came together today," Pearsall said. "We dug in really deep and I'm really proud of the girls. It stings; things don't always go your way; it hurts for the seniors for that being one of their last games."
The Hatters were paced offensively by Pauline Kaplan. The senior scored Danbury's first five goals and won a number of crucial draw-controls against a variety of Warriors asked to do the job.
"This is a very good game for (Kaplan)," Winters said. "She's been doing great all season; she came out on fire and set us up really well."
The Hatters used a patient approach on offense that worked well in both keeping the clock moving and finding the perfect shot at the cage. Danbury held the ball without a shot for more than four minutes on two separate occasions, making life difficult for the Wilton defense.
"They just played an overall good game," Pearsall said. "They knew what they had to do, they were focused and they came in and got the job done. They are a good team."
The Hatters, winners of 10 straight, face an even tougher task in the next round.
"Darien is the top team in the conference and the state of Connecticut," Williams said. "It's the same thing; we're going to have to come out and limit our mistakes so they can't capitalize. We're going to have to come out strong to play against them."
Records: Danbury 13-3 (10-1 FCIAC), Wilton 12-5 (9-4).
Scoring: D--Raven Winters 5 assists; Molly Miller 3 goals; Lindsey Eanniello 3a; Pauline Kaplan 5g; W--Tegan Helms 2g, 2a; Sara Dickinson 1g, 1a; Annie Cornbrooks 1a; Laine Parsons 1g, 1a; Laura Knapp 1g; Charlotte Noels 1g; Makenna Pearsall 1g. Goalies: D--Ketsia Lefranc (6 saves); W--Hannah Wiltshire (6). Shots: D--18; W--19.

Creamy Chicken Marsala Pasta & a Giveaway
I love Chicken Marsala.
There is just something about the taste of that Marsala wine and the tenderness of the mushrooms that makes my mouth tingle.
When I came across this recipe I beamed.
Chicken Marsala mixed with pasta? Be still my heart.
I found this recipe on What's Cookin Chicago. Joelen has lots of great recipes, but this one grabbed me and made me make it. Recipes do that you know?
I served this to friends last week and they LOVED it. It's a keeper!
I did change things up a bit, like I always do. Not too terribly much though.
Creamy Chicken Marsala Pasta
adapted from a recipe at What's Cookin Chicago
2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts cut into bite sized pieces or strips
1- 10oz package of baby bella mushrooms, sliced
1 small onion, chopped
4 tablespoons olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
¾ cup Marsala wine
½ cup chicken broth
¼ cup half & half (or heavy cream)
1 pound pasta
1/2 cup grated Parmesan + more for serving
Salt & pepper to taste
Fresh basil, finely chopped
Season the chicken with salt & pepper. Cook the chicken in a large skillet with about 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Transfer to plate when done.
Boil the water and cook pasta until al dente.
While the water is boiling add another 2 tablespoons of olive oil to the pan then add the garlic, mushrooms and onions. Cook for 10 – 15 minutes. Put the cooked chicken back into the skillet. Add the Marsala, chicken broth and half & half. Bring to a boil then lower to a simmer. Cook until sauce has thickened. About 3 – 5 minutes.
Drain the pasta and reserve ½ cup of the cooking water. Add the pasta to the same skillet and add in ½ cup of Parmesan & the chopped basil. Cook until the pasta has absorbed some of the sauce (about 1 minute). Add in reserved cooking water if needed.
Season with salt, pepper and garnish with a sprinkling more of cheese.
Last post I promised a giveaway of Trader Joe's Sugar Chocolate & Coffee Bean Grinder didn't I?
I know not everyone lives near a TJ's. We've only had ours about a year and I love it. So many different and interesting items there, two of my faves being the Fleur de Sel Caramel Sauce and the Fig Butter. LOVE! But today we are talkin' about sugar that you grind, just like a salt grinder except delicious flakes of sugar goodness crackle down on your goodies.
I sprinkled some on my Stuffed Strawberries, but I can imagine this on cakes, cupcakes, in your coffee, on your toast...endless possibilities that I want you to experience...so I'm giving away THREE grinders to three lucky people.
To win leave a comment......WHAT WOULD YOU SPRINKLE THIS CHOCOLATE SUGAR ON?
I'll pick three winner on August 19th.
If you don't have a blog.....LEAVE AN EMAIL ADDRESS so I can get in touch with you please.
If you blog or Facebook this giveaway let me know and I'll throw an extra chance in for ya.

[ UPDATE 5:54 p.m. on Saturday] Three Native American Males Sought in Armed Robbery on Bald Hills Road
Just before 4 p.m., a man in Arcata called law enforcement stating that he had been informed by one of his workers that his marijuana grow on Bald Hills Road was being robbed. According to scanner traffic, the man stated that he had "20-30 workers" on the farm.
Later, according to the dispatcher, the grower received word that the robbers were three Native American males wearing bulletproof vests and carrying firearms. The suspects reportedly stole two of the vehicles on the farm–a white GMC truck with a shell and a black Explorer. One of the vehicles was attached to a trailer which contained marijuana. The vehicles were last seen headed westbound on Bald Hills Road towards Orick.
Below is the officers' safety BOLO that went out over the scanner.
UPDATE 5:54 p.m. on Saturday: A new BOLO that went out described the incident in slightly more detail. The white pickup is a 2001 Chevrolet lifted with a Burning Man's sticker and the black 1996 Ford Explorer with Washington plates. There was also a van. Note: this update had an earlier piece that we didn't manage to catch on tape. The BOLO also indicates that there was only one Native American seen and he had tattoos.

Phnom Penh
Earth : Asia : Southeast Asia : Cambodia : Mekong Lowlands and Central Plains : Phnom Penh
Phnom Penh is the capital and largest city of Cambodia, located at the confluence of the Mekong and the Tonle Sap rivers.
Despite being liberated from the Khmer Rouge by the Vietnamese back in 1979, Phnom Penh has long remained a bit rough. However, things are improving, though roads remain shabby, traffic chaotic and electricity strained.
The city is slowly gaining high rise buildings and traffic lights. The beauty that made it a 'Paris of the East' before 1970 is unfortunately well hidden, though there are few French colonial buildings remaining. The wide boulevards and promenades envisaged by the French have become parking spaces and market stalls: pedestrians are not in favour.
The most pleasant strolling is to be done along park-like riverfront, which hosts cafés and restaurants aplenty. Standard tourist sights are few, which makes the city a place to relax, watch the streetlife and absorb the local color. Phnom Penh is worthwhile destination for those who enjoy an 'edge' experience and can brave the downsides of reckless driving, noise, and poverty. Touts and beggars abound, the worst area is the tourist strip along the river. Be firm, though a polite refusal should work.
Weather is hot and humid, with showers in the late afternoon in the rainy season.
In 1975 Phnom Penh was choked with up to 2 million refugees from the war between the then U.S.-backed government and the Khmer Rouge. The city fell to the Khmer Rouge in 1975, who completely emptied it of civilians and allowed it to crumble for several years. The city's small class of skilled or educated professionals was systematically murdered by Pol Pot, or driven into exile. Cambodia's developing economy and institutionalised corruption have concentrated wealth into a new rich class that now supports Phnom Penh's new fancy hotels and restaurants. Increasing tourist numbers are also bringing about improving tourist infrastructure.
All of Phnom Penh's streets are numbered, some major thoroughfares also have names. The scheme is simple: odd-numbered streets run north-south, the numbers increasing as you head west from the river, and even numbers run west-east, increasing as you head south (with some exceptions, e.g. the west side of what was Boeung Kak lake). House numbers, however, are quite haphazard. Don't expect houses to be numbered sequentially in a street; you might even find two completely unrelated houses with the same number in the same street.
Get in
By plane
Phnom Penh International Airport [85] (IATA: PNH | ICAO: VDPP) is the largest airport in Cambodia, located 7 km west of the city. The following airlines operate service to/from Phnom Penh:
AirAsia (Kuala Lumpur, Bangkok), Asiana Airlines [86](Seoul-Incheon), Bangkok Airways (Bangkok), Cambodia Angkor Air (Ho Chi Minh City, Siem Reap), China Airlines (Taipei), China Eastern Airlines (Kunming, Nanning), China Southern Airlines (Beijing, Guangzhou), Dragonair (Hong Kong), EVA Air (Taipei), Jetstar Asia Airways (Singapore), Korean Air (Seoul-Incheon), Malaysia Airlines (Kuala Lumpur), Qatar Airways (Ho Chi Minh City,Doha) Shanghai Airlines (Shanghai), SilkAir (Singapore), Thai AirAsia (Bangkok), Thai Airways International (Bangkok), Tiger Airways (Singapore), Vietnam Airlines (Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, Vientiane)
The new terminal is a thoroughly pleasant and modern facility, and features a post office, bank (including ATMs), restaurants, duty-free shop, newsstand, tourist help desk, and business centre. As of April 2011 there is no more departure tax to be paid at the airport - all taxes are now incorporated into the ticket price. Taxis from the public taxi stand at the airport cost a flat US$9, and tuk-tuks cost US$7 officially. If you are willing to lug your bags outside the airport fence you can catch a tuktuk into town for US$5. For visitors on a budget without a lot of luggage, it's worth catching an official motorcycle taxi for US$2.
Duty Free prices in Cambodia seem to be horribly inflated - alcohol and cigarettes cost half as much at shops and supermarkets in the city, like the Lucky Supermarket - so stock up on alcohol (put it in your checked baggage due to liquid restrictions for carry on baggage) and cigarettes before you come to the airport. For example, 1L of Absolut Vodka is US$21 at the airport, and US$11 at supermarkets in the city. Electronics are also overpriced (but at least they're the genuine article) - and check out some of the antique shavers that are still on sale!
By bus
Cambodia is finally aiding its development through improving its roads. Since around 2008, asphalt has been blazing trails into unexpected and remote places making for faster, year-round accessibility. The main highways that run on either side of the Tonle Sap from Phnom Penh to Siem Reap, Battambang, Sisophon and Poipet (for Thailand) are both well paved and in good condition.
The quality of buses runs the gamut, with the less desirable buses being a few dollars cheaper than more comfortable buses (for example on-board movie). Safety standards are low and crashes (not always reported) are common with both 'quality' and 'cheapie' bus line alike.
The rather chaotic bus station at the southwest corner of the Central Market is the base for buses run by Mekong Express, Phnom Penh Sorya Transport, Capitol Tours, Giant Ibis, and GST Express.
Tickets are available at the bus station. Guesthouses and travel agents throughout the city will also arrange tickets for a $1-2 commission.
Some passengers have experienced valuables being stolen from their luggage when stored out of sight.
International services
Borders are not open 24 hrs: some night buses will wait at the border until it opens. If entering Cambodia, watch out for visa scams and avoid the Kumho Samco if coming in from Vietnam.
Buses arriving from Pakse enter the city at night (around 7:30 to 8:00 pm) via Monivong Ave, leaving tired and emotional travellers prone to being preyed on tuktuk touts. Watch out!
Domestic services
Phnom Penh is the domestic transport hub and direct buses run to just about every provincial capital, including far flung town like Pailin, Samraong, Banlung and Sen Monorom. The crowded peasant mover Paramount Angkor specializes in out-of-the-way towns, avoid it for intercity travel as it's the same price as more genteel companies but does not guarantee a seat.
More frequently visited destinations include:
By boat
Ferries connect Phnom Penh to Siem Reap and usually take 6 hr; tickets for foreigners cost US$32. Many, but not all, of these ferries offer the option of sitting on the roof, which makes for a much more scenic, albeit less comfortable ride than the bus; take sunblock, a hat, and enough water to last you for several hours just in case the boat gets stuck.The boat leave 7:30am. Fast boats leave every morning around 8AM from Chau Doc in Vietnam's Mekong Delta and take 5 hr to reach Phnom Penh. The boats make the return journey the same day and leave Phnom Penh around 1PM arriving in Chau Doc in the early evening.
There are 3 choices of boat to Chau Doc:
By train
There is a limited freight service running from Kampot to Phnom Penh on the Southern Line. Track repair is underway and passenger services on both the Northern (to Battambang and Poipet (for Thailand) and Southern (to Kep, Kampot and Sihanoukville) Lines are set to resume by 2013. Bamboo trains operate in various towns along the line, though the one most pushed to tourists is just outside Battambang.
Get around
Phnom Penh's main streets are in good shape; however some smaller streets and footpaths are rutted and pot-holed, clogged with garbage, stagnant water, parked motos, sleeping people and building materials. Many smaller streets bear either no or misleading signage, however Phnom Penh is logically laid out (see orientation) and navigating is not too difficult.
Motorbikes (but not self-drive cars)
Motorbikes can be rented for US$5-6 per day, sometimes through guesthouses. Traffic is chaotic and dangerous, even by Southeast Asian standards - wear a helmet and drive carefully. Two rental shops are in Monivong Boulevard - Lucky Bike Rental and New Bike Rental. Accept that paying US$1-2 police 'fines' is part of driving. Theft is common: park in designated guarded areas and pay a small parking fee or use a lock and chain, which should be provided.
Motorbike-taxis (motodops or simply motos)
Motorbike taxis should take you anywhere cheaply. A trip from Sisowath Quay to Central Market costs about 2,000 riel (US$0.50). Fares are higher at night and with more than one passenger. Often little English is spoken. No helmets are provided.
Taxis are growing much more common with well more than 100 meter taxis now operating in the city. They can be found in tourist areas such as the riverfront and Street 51 bar area in the evening. Easier, call one of the taxi companies for pick-up. Non-meter taxis still run throughout the city and can be found along the riverfront tourist area and near major hotels. Fares must be agreed in advance. Fares vary; your accommodation provider may help.
Tuk-tuks (aka remorque moto)
Tuk-tuks consist of a motorcycle with a cabin for the passengers hitched to the back. They are cheap (Per tuk-tuk: US$1-3 for a trip in the city, $7 to the airport) and plentiful. Negotiate the price ahead of time and make sure the driver knows how to get to your destination. Driving standards vary. Drivers in tourist areas usually speak some English, but if going to a destination that is not well known it is best to make sure the driver really understands. Drivers generally do not know their way around and may stop to ask for directions. Most tuk-tuk drivers can be hired for the day (~$20-$25) or half day (~$12-$15).
Cyclos are three-wheeled pedal cycle-rickshaws. They are slow, scenic, traditional and romantic, though waning in number.
Cycling can extend the horizons of the city. Ride slowly and be visible and predictable by avoiding quicking turn.
Walking can be a challenge. Remember little gives way to big here, pedestrians come last, even on the now cluttered, once grand, wide, French-built pavements! To cross safely, judge gaps in the traffic and proceed with care - give oncoming vehicles ample time to see and avoid you, or try to cross with the brightly coloured and revered monks. There is almost no street lighting off the major boulevards, and walking at night is not recommended. Traffic signals and pedestrian crossings are generally ignored by drivers.
Phnom Penh is notorious for its massive traffic jams, and rightly so. In addition, traffic is chaotic and motorcyclists seemingly suicidal. Therefore, most tourists consider driving in Phnom Penh a nightmare, and it is highly recommended that you stick to public transport and not try to drive yourself around.
France's Cambodian colony was acquired late, and was generally neglected. Consequently there are not many colonial-era buildings, and those which remain are largely decayed. Notable exceptions are The Grand Post Office Building, Central Market and Raffles Le Royal Hotel. Generally any building in good condition, old or new, will be behind a big wall and security guards.
Cambodia has a dual currency system, where the US dollar and the Khmer riel are used simultaneously. The Khmer riel is not usually used for large purchases. Cents of the U.S. dollar are not in use, so change below 1 dollar is always given in riel. Prices for most products and services worth above a couple dollars will be quoted in US Dollars, especially to foreigners. If you carry U.S. dollars, money changers are usually not necessary, except perhaps getting rid of extra riels before leaving the country. They are plentiful near the central market and display their rates on boards. The Cambodian Central Bank maintains the Riel at approximately 3900 - 4100 to the dollar, be wary if rates are outside this range. Most vendors will accept US dollars and Khmer riel interchangeably at a rate of 4000 riel to the dollar. Larger, more established businesses like supermarkets, set their own rates, which is usually between 4100-4200. If paying in US dollars, you will receive change in the form of riel instead of in coins. For example, if a vendor owes you $1.25 in change, you will either receive $1 USD plus 1000 riel, or 5000 riel. Paying in this form is also acceptable. When accepting money in change or exchange, inspect the bills. Marred Riel is acceptable tender, but the tiniest tear in a large US note (especially $50 and $100 bills) renders it unusable in Cambodia.
There are plenty of ATMs. They dispense US dollars and accept international cards. Canadia Bank ATMs are fee-free, as is the ATM inside the Mekong Bank at 220 Sisowath Quay. ANZ Royal bank charges US$4 per transaction. Union Commercial Bank plc charges US$2 per transaction (Feb 2011). Inside Capitol Guesthouse there is an ATM for Canadia bank where you can make a safe withdrawal. FTB is also fee-free - there is one opposite the main terminal on Sisowath Quay.
Cashing traveller's cheques can be problematic; even major banks may refuse to exchange traveller's cheques of above US$100.
Caveat emptor (let the buyer beware). Electronics will likely fail within days, fake watches abound, especially in the Central Market. Only upmarket places will accept plastic (normally with a 3% surcharge). Changing dollars into Riels is generally unnecessary, though the parsimonious will notice a small benefit. Small purchases with notes above US$20 can cause problems, though vendors will manage. Do not worry if a vendor runs off with your large note, they are finding change not robbing you.
Popular tourist buys include silk, silverware, handicrafts and curios (including Buddha figures), and made-to-order clothes (which are often of good quality). If you want to support businesses that are noted for supporting Cambodia's culture and heritage, look for the Heritage Friendly Business Logo from Heritage Watch, an organization that promotes the preservation of Cambodia's cultural legacy.
DVDs and CDs in Phnom Penh have a 20-30% failure rate; sunglasses from street vendors do not give full UV/polarized protection and will likely disintegrate within 2 weeks.
Antiques and home decor
The Cambodia Antiquities Law (1996) bans the sale, purchase and export of Cambodian antiques, and since 1999 the United States has banned their import into that country. Consequently, most of the "antiques" sold in Cambodia are reproductions.
The pirated books that children try to sell for US$5 need to be haggled down (they buy them for US$1). Spend a minute or so leafing through before buying; quality varies: pages can be in the wrong order or missing, or the book is not the one described on the cover.
Clothes and accessories
Throughout the city, but especially in the Russian Market, there are tailors willing to make custom made clothes. A man can get a medium quality custom made shirt for US$12, or a high quality custom made shirt for US$15. Definitely worth the purchase, as you'll never have a shirt that is as perfect of fit.
Handicrafts and souvenirs
Street 178, just north of the National Museum, is known as Artist Street and has many interesting boutiques.
Russian Market - jewellery
There are many booths that sell fake jewellery and synthetic gemstones in the Russian Market. Don't buy from a booth which cannot issue a certificate of warranty. Make sure you are entitled to a full refund if the item is different from what you were told. Don't buy a 5-carat, 'flawless' chicken-blood ruby for US$500 and think that you have hit the jackpot. If your instinct tells you that the price is too cheap, remember the saying, "If it's too good to be true then it probably is". Buy jewellery and gemstones from a reputable shop established for many years, with a reputation to protect. Cambodian Handicraft Association, (CHA), No 54 & 56, St 113, (across from the Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum), [89]. Handmade silk goods, jewellery, accessories and clothing made by women disabled from polio and landmines. If you ask, you will also be able to tour the shop, meeting the female workers and seeing where they study English. The products are absolutely beautiful and the majority of the silk is sourced from a local village, where it is all hand woven. The costs of running the project are covered by selling the artists' work in the shop, they receive no grants or aid.
Phnom Penh offers some interesting culinary treats not found elsewhere in the country. These include French-influenced dining and Thai, Vietnamese, and Indonesian dishes. Khmer street restaurant are also found throughout the city, where a typical meal costs 2-4 dollars. Pizzas, banana pancakes and fried rice are always easy to find. The riverfront hosts everything from stand-up stalls to fine French bistros. Stalls and street restaurants often lack hygienic practices: eating peeled fruit and vegetables and anything uncooked may have unintended consequences.
McDonald's is not yet in Phnom Penh; Kentucky Fried Chicken is. Additionally, there are two Cambodian fast food chains BB World and Lucky Seven, each having a handful of locations in the city. Central Market is a hawker food centre, food is cheap and the street eateries add to the area's bustling atmosphere.
Exotic treats
Duck embryo eggs are sold at the southwest corner of Sokun Mean Bun Street (Street 178) and Norodum Monivong Boulevard, in front of the green SSN building inside a large, high school compound. Also sold are days-old hatched chicks & frogs, all of which are eaten rather than just the legs. Skewered & grilled pigs ears, chicken claws, and gizzards are sold in the Central Market. Pigs intestines, cut into pieces & covered in sauce, costs US$1 for 100 gm. Grilled small crabs, lobsters, prawns are also sold in the market. Chicken feet are also sold in the open air restaurants along Street 154. Grasshoppers, crabs, worm-type animals and pupae are sold along Sothearos Boulevard from 184 Street to 178 Street.
Take the cross river ferry to sit on mats and eat cheap hawker food while watching the sunset over the city. The most recommended on this type are the Muslim restaurants at 86 St. north of Phnom Penh Hotel. Halal Foods Mumina on the north side of the street (in front of South China Airlines office) is recommendable. The guesthouses around this area are some of the cheapest offering rooms from US$4 per night. This area although in the farther north end is favored mostly by the French and Brits for their embassies are located nearby.
include Street 104, Street 278, and Street 108 around the Street 51 corner, which all feature restaurant bars, hostess bars, and guesthouses.
Phnom Penh has a wide variety of accommodation, ranging from budget guesthouses (about US$5-20) through good quality mid-range hotels (US$20-50) to extravagant palaces with extravagant prices to match.
A good range of accommodation is available around the city. The budget traveller centre was the area still known as Lakeside, near the now filled in Beoung Kak lake. The colony of guesthouses has been decimated but not eradicated. Remaining businesses are desperate for clients, which makes prices very cheap. Guesthouses 10 and 11 still exist and offer rooms from US$4/night and US$3/night respectively. Services include laundry, internet, money exchange, ATM and restaurants, including an excellent Indian.
Street 258 (near the Cambodia/Vietnam Friendship Park), Street 51 (near Wat Langka) and Streets 111 and 172 also have some good budget options.
There are a number of 4-5 star hotels in Phnom Penh.
Spas and salons
Stay safe
As in any big city, be wary walking alone at night.
Daytime bag-snatching is common; western and local women are often targeted, but men are targeted as well. When riding in a tuk-tuk keep your bag and camera towards the middle of the tuk-tuk to protect against bag snatching. When on a motorcycle taxi, keep your bag between you and the driver or in front of the driver. DO NOT carry/wear your bag on your back!
Scammers and conmen sometimes work the tourist areas such as the riverfront, Hun Sen Park and the Sorya Mall. A group of scammers operate around the riverside, targeting travelers. Their basic method is to start a conversation, make friends, claim to have a relative who is soon moving to your country of origin, and invite you to dinner at their house. Once you get there, they will apparently try to trick you into playing a rigged card game for money, and if that fails then they will give you stories about sick relatives and ask money for that instead. Worse yet, there have been reports of druggings in these situations, after which the guest is robbed blind and perhaps dropped at a hospital.
Stay Healthy
As in most developing world countries, avoiding cold, uncooked food is desirable to prevent stomach upsets. Salads are also suspect at times. Ice is usually OK as it is made from filtered water in factories.
Unsafe sex
HIV is carried by about one in eight of Cambodia's female sex workers. NGOs have got the HIV rate in the general population down from around 2% to around 1% over the past decade but emerging liberal behaviour coupled with ignorance of safe practices may reverse this gain.
Cheap SIM cards for GSM phones are available on almost any major street. A vendor should have an activated test card to be used to make sure your phone will operate on that network. Calls between mobile networks can be be spotty and Skype calls from abroad to mobiles in Cambodia are sometimes dropped, so be prepared to redial frequently. It's now easier than ever to buy a sim card in Phnom Penh, just have your passport and expect to pay no more than US$2. There are plenty of phone stalls around central market. Mobitel has the best coverage around the whole of Cambodia and seems to have cheaper calls. Be warned when sending and receiving international SMSs and calls as they only have about a 50% success rate of being received.
WiFi is available in most of the hotels that welcome western tourists and backpackers. Speed and reliability is on par with neighboring countries. There is no shortage of Internet cafés in Phnom Penh. Most are in the 1,500 riel/hour to 2,000 riel/hour bracket (~US$0.50)
Wireless and wired connections for laptops are available at a number of outlets. Most five star hotels provide high-speed broadband access, but at a premium. A number of cafés along Sisowath Quay including the Foreign Correspondents' Club (expensive), Fresco Café (under the FCC, also expensive), K-West Café (at the Amanjaya Hotel), the Jungle Bar and Grill, and Phnom Penh Café (near Paragon Hotel) and Metro Cafe (free).
The main, impressive French colonial style post office is located at the intersection of Street 13 and 102, roughly between Wat Phnum and the Riverside, also selling postcards. Another branch is more downtown, at the intersection of Sihanouk and Monivong Boulevard. Both offices offer full range of postal services, including PO boxes for affordable prices, and are open 7 days a week.
Postage for international postcards is 3,000 riel (as of March 2012) - very nice picture stamps are available, philatelists: ask for mix and match options. Letters and especially parcels to Phnom Penh's post office frequently go missing, or are not made available to recipients for up to one year.
Bring your largest pair of sunglasses: Phnom Penh is dusty year-round (even in the wet season) and riding in tuk tuks means a lot of the dust in your eyes.
Embassies and consulates
Ascertain that the doctor has a Western medical degree. If not, get out: local training is poor and treatment can be fatal. Local hospitals are generally basic, including Calmette Hospital - the city's largest. A doctor's appointment should be made at one of the international clinics, which can also arrange transfer to a hospital in Thailand if necessary. The following clinics and hospitals are up to international standards:
The cost of a blood test for malaria in Calmette Hospital is around US$27.50.
Get out
Sihanoukville, Battambang, and Siem Reap are within a few hours reach. Watch out for guesthouses profiteering on bus tickets. Several tour companies offer day-trips to Tonle Bati, which includes Ta Prohm, an Angkor-era temple not to be mistaken for the Angkor-area temple of the same name.
Rates at May 2012, from Mekong Imperial Int. Travel&Tours Co. Ltd. at #339 Sisowath Quay (Riverside) Tlf:0235550401/092341732/095793232, they do free pickup, it could be 1US$ cheaper to buy directly from the bus company station.
Slow boats to Vietnam (US$9-10) are a scenic alternative to the bus (US$10, 6 hr). The 8 hour journey begins at 7.30AM with a minibus to the boat, which then goes to Chau Doc in Vietnam, stopping for an hour at the border for immigration and a change of vessel. Faster boats (US$10) to Ho Chi Minh City take around 6 hours and depart 3-7 times per day. The journey can be also stretched into a 2-3 day Mekong tour (US$40-60).
Prices May 2012:
Buses to Don Det (US$19, 12 hr) leave at 6:45AM. The 27 hour journey to Vientiane costs US$46 and takes four different buses. The first leg is on the Don Det bus. Once over the border you'll spend hours on cramped minibuses heading to Pakse before the final strech to the capital. The border is slow and bureaucratic, with endless form-filling and small bribes ('fees') to officials, long walks hauling your luggage between windows (500 m), and no-one much to assist with enquiries. There have been reports of various problems on the onward journey to Vientiane, including Lao companies not honouring tickets sold in Cambodia to nocturnal groping.
Prices May 2012:
Through tickets to Bangkok (14 hr, US$15-26) are generally unproblematic. You will change buses at the border. Anything more than US$15 is a bit steep given that Phnom Penh to Siem Reap should cost US$5 and that Siem Reap to Bangkok should cost US$10.
Prices May 2012:

code Javascript function (fill
 with shuffled array)
Presupuesto €8-30 EUR
I need a javascript (+ jQuery + jQueryUI) function for an online exercise, which does the following things:
1. Take an array as an argument (e.g. a dialog: "Hey Bill", "Hey Joe.", "Can you pick me up at the airport tonight?", "What time?", "I should arrive at 6.30.", "Can´t make it until 7", "Ok, I´ll wait for you until 7. See you later", "See you.")
2. Save the first element of array in a variable. Shuffle the rest of the array.
3. Create two divs next to each other. The first one remains empty except for the first element (see #3, e.g.
Hey Bill
, the second one holds a
 with the
-elements from the SHUFFLED array, e.g.

 Can´t make it until 7

 Can you pick me up at the airport tonight?

 Ok, I´ll wait for you until 7. See you later

 Hey Joe.

 What time?"

 I should arrive at 6.30.",

4. The user should be able to drag and drop the sentences from the right
 into the left
 (as to be seen here: [url removed, login to view]). in order to reconstruct the dialog. Assign different CSS-classes to the even and odd
 elements in the left
.
5. There is a boolean, let´s call it orderCorrect, which is FALSE by default and turns TRUE in the moment the dialog has been put into the correct order in the left
.
6. You must not use [url removed, login to view](), as it wouldn´t work within Twine ([url removed, login to view])

Edith Fuhrmann Brandmann
Born: September 11, 1931
Kriesciatik, Romania
Edith's village of Kriesciatik was located on the border between Romania and Poland. Her Jewish parents owned a large ranch where they raised cattle and grew sugar beets. They also owned a grocery store. Edith had a brother, Jacob, and a sister, Martha. At home the family spoke Yiddish and German, and Edith learned Romanian after she began school.
1933-39: Our village was by a river, and I spent summer days by the water with my friends, swimming and playing. My mother would pack me bread and butter sandwiches and cherries. Sometimes I'd go to the forest with my best friend, Fritzie, to pick wild strawberries and flowers. During Easter, my parents made sure that we stayed inside because the local peasants would get drunk and sometimes attacked Jews, blaming them for killing Jesus.
1940-44: In 1940, a year after the war began, Romania became Germany's ally. I was 9 when Romanian police expelled the Jews from our village and sent us, on foot, to a place in Ukraine where Jews were concentrated. We were brought to a huge barracks where there were thousands of Jews. Nothing seemed organized. We learned that every day, 1,000 Jews were rounded up and sent to Ukrainian ghettos. When Father heard about this, he told us to stall until he could arrange our escape.
Edith's family spent more than three years sheltered by Jewish families in a Ukrainian village, and they survived the war. In 1959 Edith immigrated to America.
