The enchanting land of Sunda stretches from the Sunda Strait in the West to the borders of Central Java in the east. The region is primarily mountainous, with rich green valleys hugging lofty volcanic peaks, many of which surround the capital of the province, Bandung. The history of West Java is a story of trade, spices, and the rise and fall of powerful kingdoms.
In the late 1500´s the region was ruled from mighty Cirebon, which still survives as a sultanate today, although a shadow of its former glory. West Java was one of the first contact points in Indonesia for Indian traders and their cultural influences and it was here that the Dutch and British first set foot in the archipelago.
The oldest human inhabitant archaeological findings in the region were unearthed in Anyer (the western coast of Java) with evidences of bronze and iron metallurgical culture dated back to the first millennium AD.
The prehistoric Buni (the present-day Bekasi) clay pottery were later developed with evidences found from Anyer to Cirebon. Some artifacts (dated from 400 BC - AD 100) such as food and drink containers were found mostly as burial gifts. There is also archeological evidence in Batujaya Archaeological Site dating from the 2nd century, and according to Dr Tony Djubiantono, the head of Bandung Archeology Agency, Jiwa Temple in Batujaya, Karawang, West Java was also built around this time.
Recorded history of West Java administration was started from the fourth century with the existence of Tarumanagara kingdom. Seven inscribed stones written in Wengi letters (used in the Indian Pallava period) and in Sanskrit language describe most of the kings of Tarumanagara.[4] Records of Tarumanegara's administration lasted until the sixth century, which coincides with the attack of Sriwijaya as stated in the Kota Kapur inscription (AD 686).
The Sunda kingdom then came into the ruling power of the region, the reference to which were found in the Kebon Kopi II inscription (AD 932).
An ulama (holy man in Islam) known today as Sunan Gunung Jati settled in Banten Girang, with the intention of spreading the world of Islam in this still pagan town. In the meantime, the Sultanate of Demak from Central Java grew into an immediate threat to Sunda kingdom. To defend against the threat, Prabu Surawisesa Jayaperkosa signed a treaty (known as the Luso Sundanese Treaty) with the Portuguese in 1512. In return, the Portuguese was granted an accession to build fortresses and warehouses in the area, as well as trading agreement with the kingdom. This first international treaty of West Java with the Europeans was commemorated by the placement of the Padrao stone monument at the riverbank of the Ciliwung River in 1522.
Although the treaty with Portuguese had been established, it could nptSunda Kalapa harbour fell under the alliance of the Sultanate of Demak and the Sultanate of Cirebon (former vassal state of Sunda kingdom) in 1524 after their troops under Paletehan alias Fadillah Khan had conquered the city. In 1524/1525, their troops under Sunan Gunung Jati also seized the port of Banten and established the Sultanate of Banten which was affiliating with the Sultanate of Demak. The war between the Sunda kingdom with Demak and Cirebon sultanates then continued for five years until a peace treaty were made in 1531 between King Surawisesa and Sunan Gunung Jati. From 1567 to 1579, under the last king Raja Mulya, alias Prabu Surya Kencana, Sunda kingdom declined essentially under the pressure from the Sultanate of Banten . After 1576, the kingdom could not maintain its capital at Pakuan Pajajaran (the present-day Bogor) and gradually the Sultanate of Banten took over the former Sunda kingdom's region. The Mataram Sultanate from Central Java also seized the Priangan region, the southeastern part of the kingdom.
In the sixteenth century, the Dutch and the British trading companies established their trading ships in West Java after the falldown of Sultanate of Banten . For the next three hundred years, West Java fell under the Dutch East Indies' administration. West Java was officially declared as a province of Indonesia in 1950, referring to a statement from Staatblad number 378. On October 17, 2000, as part of nationwide political decentralization, Banten was separated from West Java and made into a new province.

Domestic airlines serves to Bandung every day. Buses from Central Java and Jakarta arrived in Leuwi Panjang. Several trains operate from Jakarta , Yogyakarta and Surabaya to Bandung. Alternatively you can use rental service from neighboring cities to visit Bandung.
People & Culture
The native people are called Sundanese. Sundanese are friendly folks who value tradition. However in some big cities, like Bandung, the capital of West Java , other ethnic groups begin to dominate as well.
Many people visit Bandung, the capital of West Java province, to pamper their taste buds. You'll be amazed with what Bandung has to offer. From various food sold on street vendors to haute cuisine, every visitor will be able to find something to their liking here, in Bandung.
Sundanese (the people living in West Java are called Sundanese) has tempting refreshments. Sundanese food tends to be bland yet tasty unless you add sambal dadak (chili and other ingredients grinded together) to your food. If you're looking for more spicy taste, just add this sambal dadak with nasi timbel (steamed rice formed into a roll inside a banana leaf) and other specialties. This mouthwatering treat is too good to be missed! Usually sour vegetables soup (sayur asam) is accompanied by nasi timbel.
Sundanese people eat vegetables a lot. Sometimes they even eat raw vegetables (called lalap or lalapan) like cucumbers, tomatoes, coriander leaves, eggplants, cabbages, lettuces,and so on. Lalapan is usually accompanied by sambal dadak.
Probably one of the most well known dish, timbel, consists of nasi timbel, lalapan, sambal dadak, a piece of chicken (fried or roasted Sundanese style), fried beancurd, fried tempeh, a slice of jambal (salted fish). If you want to, you can add gepuk (slices of beef, mixed in traditional herbs, then fried), pepes (main ingredients such as fish, chicken, mushroom, etc. mixed with crushed and blended herbs, folded into a banana leaf, then steamed until they're ready to eat), sauteed greens, and others. Nasi timbel is a favorite among locals and visitors. Batagor baso tahu goreng (literally means, fried meatballs & beancurd) is one of the most well-sought specialty. Made from blended fish and beancurd, with a special peanut sauce, batagor?s popularity remains constant.
People with sweet tooth might fancy pisang molen (literally Sundanese Food means, molen banana), Indonesian traditional pastry filled with banana and cheese. For a variation, try brownies kukus (steamed brownies). Es cendol, made of blended/grinded rice, palm sugar, and coconut milk, is delightful on a hot day. While for a colder day, you might want to taste bandrek or bajigur.
Bandung also offers various milk products most notably, yoghurt. Basically there are two kinds of yoghurt in Bandung the thin one, and the thick one (French style).
Hot snacks ala Bandung are widely sold throughout the city. Among them are gehu-toge tahu- (beancurd with beansprouts and vegetables filling), pisang goreng (fried banana), cireng-aci goreng- (fried tapioca), and many more. You might be interested in trying other snacks such as, nangka goreng (fried jackfruit), peuyeum goreng (fermented cassava, fried), nanas goreng (fried pineapple), and so on. Ketan bakar (roasted sticky rice) and jagung bakar/rebus (roasted/boiled corns) are also recommended.
Nasi goreng (fried rice), although not originally from Bandung, is also a favorite. The ingredients vary, according to people's preference. Sometimes the rice is mixed with seafood (usually shrimps, pieces of cuttlefish, pieces of crab's flesh), chicken and vegetables, mutton and vegetables, salted fish, and so on.
Cakue, a dish made of flour dough then fried, also worths a try.
Bandung also has other kinds of restaurants, like Padangese (food from West Sumatra , very spicy in taste), Javanese (sweeter in taste), Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Western, Indian and a lot more.

Davenport's 2-hitter lifts Fairfield American
HARWINTON -- During Fairfield American's run through the district, divisional and sectional tournaments to reach the best-of-three state championship series, players have had less-than-shining moments here and there. But these individual players' abilities to bounce back in the next at-bat or time in the field have complemented their overall strength and consistency all around the diamond.
Now add a rebound performance by a pitcher to Fairfield's arsenal.
Sam Davenport's resiliency on the mound -- following an outing on July 19 against Norwalk, the first game of the Division 1 finals, in which he gave up eight runs in four innings -- lifted Fairfield to within one win of the state championship and a berth in the New England regional in Bristol next weekend. The Americans beat South Windsor National 10-0 in five innings on Saturday afternoon at the Harwinton Sports Complex and improved to 11-1 behind Davenport's two-hitter.
Davenport struck out six and walked one. He induced nine ground-outs. Few were hit sharply; all were fielded and thrown cleanly and always to the appropriate base. Davenport threw hard, but his secret was masterly location, his knockout the effective mixing of his fastball and breaking pitch.
"His curveball made us look out of it," said Steve Curtis, manager of South Windsor (12-1), which had been on the long end of nine victories through the mercy rule, which is invoked when there is a lead of 10 runs or more at any point after the fourth inning has begun.
Catcher Vince Camera's bases-loaded single drove home the Americans' ninth and 10th runs, creating the mercy-rule victory.
"The first inning is the hardest," Davenport said. "In my last outing, I had a rough first inning (seven Norwalk runs). I wanted to do well after that. (Third baseman) Brian Kiremidjian made a real nice play and (shortstop) Brian Howell had a couple of nice ones. Everyone did well. We did it together."
Fairfield manager Michael Steed praised Davenport's work ethic in practice.
"He did a fanstastic job," Steed said. "He's got great stuff. Every pitcher is going to have a bad outing at any level of baseball. Over the last week, he worked hard on his mechanics. He worked on getting the right arm slot."
Fairfield scored four runs on four hits and two errors in the first inning. Jamie Flink, Howell and Ian Bentley each stroked doubles in that inning. Kiremidjian's double in the fourth knocked in two runs. The Americans' capitalized on South Windsor's five errors.
With two outs in the bottom of the second inning, a Fairfield American batter hit a line drive that directly struck the face of South Windsor third baseman Zach Hoffman, cutting him below the eye and drawing blood. The game was delayed for 13 minutes as paramedics tended to him. He was sent to Charlotte Hungerford Hospital in Torrington for treatment and observation. After being struck, he made an attempt to reach the ball that struck him before collapsing in pain.

Aims & Scope
The aim of the journal is to provide an international forum for the exchange of ideas and promotion of basic and clinical research in acupuncture, electro-therapeutics, and related fields. The journal was established in order to make acupuncture and electro-therapeutics a universally acceptable branch of medicine through multidisciplinary research based on scientific disciplines. The final goal is to provide a better understanding of both the beneficial and adverse effects of these treatments in order to supplement or improve existing methods of diagnosis, prognosis, treatment, and prevention of diseases in both Western and Oriental medicine.
The journal will accept original basic or clinical research papers, worthwhile reviews on safe and effective therapeutic methods, applications, limitations, theories, or principles of acupuncture and electro-therapeutics, including electro-analgesia or any method of treatment through the application of various types of electric or electromagnetic field stimuli as well as electrical and nonelectrical diagnostic methods. The journal will also consider serious research on any related methods of treatment such as Shiastsu, moxibustion, herbal medicine, and standard and experiemental stages of Western medicine, with physiological and pharmacological studies. We accept clinical, experimental, and theoretical studies, particularly on the early diagnosis and safe and effective treatment of intractable medical problems, such as intractable pain, dystonia, Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, cancer, and cardiovascular disease. In general, submitted papers must be based either on the documentation of data through scientifically proven or accepted methods, or on the explanation of new theories in the field with critical evaluation of such ideas. For example, papers may present data such as the effects of acupuncture on the cardiovascular or nervous systems using blood chemistry, hemodynamics, enzymes, and other biochemical or pathophysiological, Bi-Digital O-Ring Test, nerve conduction velocity, threshold stimulation for pain, somatosensory evoked potentials or any other electro-physiological method that is scientifically acceptable. Papers not dealing directly with acupuncture, electro-therapeutics, or the related methods of diagnosis or treatment mentioned above will also be considered if they have important implications for either improving diagnostic methods or treatment, or elucidating the underlying principles or the history or medicolegal aspects of these fields.
The paper should have the following sections:
1. Title of Article
2. Names of authors with academic degrees followed by institutional affiliation
3. Contact information of person to contact (name, academic degree, address, telephone #, fax #, and email)
4. Tentative date of manuscript received by editor's office and tentative date of acceptance in parentheses
5. Abstract (preferably less than 250 words)
6. Keywords (6 pertinent keywords)
7. Introduction
8. Materials & Methods
9. Results
10. Discussion
11. Conclusion
12. Acknowledgment
13. References
Every paper must have this basic format. Any paper without experimental or clinical research setup shown by good schematic diagrams or actual photographs with captions that are easy to understand and that provide information about how the research was carried out will not be accepted. Materials & Methods should have enough information to reproduce the research by other scientists. For these materials and methods, if electrical or electromagnetic field stimulation is used, they should provide electrical parameters as well as electromagnetic field parameters and wave forms of the stimulating electrical pulses or electromagnetic field pulses.
After suggested revisions for improvement, once the paper is going to be officially accepted for publication, please adhere to the guidelines below:
Include a cover letter, and insert "Acupuncture & Electro-Therapeutics Research Submission" in the subject line of the email. The cover letter should contain the name, address, telephone #, fax # and email address of the author responsible for correspondence. Follow the General Manuscript Form guidelines below to prepare the manuscript, figures, and tables.
When the manuscript is accepted for publication, the author(s) will be required to provide 2 hard copies of the final manuscript and a high-resolution PDF file.

Why you should travel by train for an unforgettable vacation
Travelling by train is becoming the new favourite method of travel for people who like to do so in style and comfort.
Travelling by train is becoming the new favourite method of travel for people who like to do so in style and comfort. Many people consider travelling by air to be the most luxurious and efficient way to travel, but the fact is that today, travelling by train offers its patrons a level of comfort and economy that no other form of travel can match.
For people who are travelling but are not bound by the constraint of time, travelling by train is the best possible way to travel in comfort while spending only a fraction of the cost required by airlines for the same trip. The distinct advantage that travelling by train offers is also the number of amenities available. Today, a lot of trains offer travellers a whole host of luxury amenities that can often make it seem as if they are travelling to their destination in a hotel room.
Travelling by train is a great option for all those people who want to go on a vacation for a number of reasons. Cars only have a limited carrying capacity when it comes to passengers and/or luggage. There are also concerns regarding rising fuel costs, the fear of road accidents and the inconvenience of getting stuck in traffic. Travelling by train, on the other hand, offers virtually no such limitations. The number of people who wish to travel together by train is limited only by the number of tickets which they are willing to pay for. Trains give vacationers the opportunity to travel in comfort, with seating options varying from relaxing seats for short journeys to berths that allow travellers to rest and even private air conditioned cabins where they can enjoy the full luxury treatment with catering and housekeeping services, as well as complete privacy, something that cannot be assured while travelling by road. Most trains run as per a strict schedule and are not subject to issues, like traffic jams.
Airlines only operate between specific destinations, with fare prices often beyond the reach of the common traveller. This is further exacerbated by the fact that most airlines often introduce a sharp raise in their prices as the date of travel approaches, making it a very expensive affair overall. Trains, however, are one of the safest and most economical methods of mass transit that allow vacationers the opportunity to not only see the vast panorama of changing scenery outside their window, but to also step out or open a window should the need arise. This, combined with the fares being a percentage of what travellers would have to pay, as well as a great deal of flexibility regarding the amount of luggage they can take, makes train travel the best choice to make. Tickets can be comfortably booked online, as almost every train service is represented online. It allows patrons to finalise all the details of their travel, from the type of seat to meal choice, as well as make the payments from the comfortable environs of their own home, making travelling by train a highly preferred option for an unforgettable vacation.

If you are age 55 or over and have at least 5 hours a week to volunteer, consider going back to school as a "grandparent." The Office for Aging's Foster Grandparents volunteer in general classrooms to work one-on-one with children in elementary schools, Head Starts, day care centers and middle schools across Broome County. The grandparents are making a difference by providing love and encouragement. They share in classroom activities such as reading books together, practicing the alphabet and solving math problems.
There is no income requirement to join and no prior experience in a classroom is needed! However, if you are income-eligible, you could receive a stipend of $2.65 for each hour that you volunteer, plus travel reimbursement and a free lunch at school each day. Call the Foster Grandparent Program today at 778-2089 to find out more about how you can enroll!
Foster Grandparents receive:
Stipend of $2.65 per hour (for income-eligible volunteers only)
Reimbursement for travel costs
A meal at their volunteer site
Paid time off (up to a predefined amount each year)
An annual physical examination
Paid orientation and on-going training
The opportunity to socialize with other Foster Grandparents
The opportunity to make a difference in our community
If you are income-eligible, you will receive a stipend of $2.65 for each hour that you volunteer, plus travel reimbursement and a free lunch at school each day. If you are not eligible for the stipend, you are still entitled to the travel and lunch reimbursements.
By law, the stipend you receive is not taxable and it cannot affect any other benefits you get. For example, it cannot be part of the calculations of your income for public housing or food stamps. It cannot be included in determining if you are eligible for HEAP or benefits from the Veterans Administration.
The Foster Grandparent Program assists children with special needs who need additional help to succeed in the classroom. The program works by matching these children with a caring volunteer, the Foster Grandparent, who works with them to reach goals set by the children's teachers. The program also makes it possible for low-income older adults to make a meaningful contribution to their community by providing the economic support they need to volunteer.
Because it's an opportunity to do truly rewarding work. As one Foster Grandparent recently said:
"Initially I was interested because I needed to supplement my income, but after I started I fell in love with the children. I feel loved, appreciated, needed, and missed when I'm not there. I feel I have the opportunity to give love and approval to children who really need it."
All applicants to the Foster Grandparent Program must complete criminal history background checks, including: FBI fingerprinting, Sex Offender Registry check, and NY State Unified Court System check. There is no cost to the applicant for these checks.

Charlie Pierce has the definitive take-down of Ross Douthat and his budding bromance with Rick Santorum. Here's a taste:
[C]an we please have a better definition of "populism" than the one embodied in Rick Santorum, which can be fairly summarized as, "Gulling the rubes so that I'm in a position to lower the corporate tax rate to zero and eliminate the estate tax, all the while maintaining my position as a 'ho for what's left of the K Street Project"? Thank you.
[Douthat Quoting Jonathan Chait now] 'Think of disaffected blue-collar workers, downscale white men who love guns, hate welfare, oppose free trade, and want higher taxes on the rich and corporations.'
Okay, I'm thinking of them. I think I've met two of them in my entire life. Most of the ones that I've met will settle for the first three things there and figure that, well, hell, the whole system's rigged and we'll never get tax the rich boys at what they deserve to be taxed, but as long as my money's not going to Them, life's good here at deer camp. They're the salt of the earth. They've also been the prime suckers for 30 years of bait-and-switch politics that sent all their money zooming to the top, a politics that produced, among other blights, Rick Santorum. What Ross is asking here is whether Rick can bring the big con home one more time.
Yep. That's the con. It's also a con that continues to tempt certain corners of the Democratic consulting class who think if they can just get these non-existent good ole boys to believe they aren't giving it all away to the you-know-whos, they'll be eager to vote for the Democrats. Sometimes you have to wonder who it is that's being conned.
