This is and will be updated as and when we get 'NEW' questions via emails from Guest's.
Can You Have Someone Pick Us Up From The Airport And How Much Will It Cost?
Airport transfer rates are NOT included are mentioned on our website. For your easy reference please see http://www.thekebun.com/bungalows-rates/airport-transfers/. We would like to say here that it is very important that you not only give us your flight arrival time but also your flight number. There has been numerous times we have been waiting at the airport not knowing that the flight was actually delayed or even that the guest had missed the fight.
We Are Coming On A Very Late Flight. Is A Transfer Still Possible?
Yes. But feel free to be amused when you see me at the airport in my pajama's.
We Are Departing On A Very Early Flight. Is A Transfer Still Possible?
Yes. But excuse me if I am grumpy on the drive to the airport. 3.00 am transfers are not funny.
How Far Is The Farm From The Airport?
It will take 45 minutes to the farm, less in light traffic. The distance is 38 kilometers.
How Far Is It To Kuching City?
28 kilometers or 30 minutes away.
Can You Please Confirm Your Rental Rates?
Our accommodation rates are as you see published on our website. Should and if there are changes you will be informed via email but even if there are any increase the rate you initially booked at will be honored.
What Happens If We Decide We Don't Want To Drive?
If you are unsure then please reconsider your intention to stay with us. We will not accept any responsibility should you tell us at the very last moment. Please note that some cars are a manual stick as noted on the car photo's on the website with 'A' for 'Automatic' and 'M' for 'Manual'.
I need to remind you that coming to stay with us does not mean you will be dusting off your long forgotten driving skills nor does it mean that we welcome any stunt drivers who feel the need to trash our personal cars to the maximum.
How Do I Pay A Deposit?
We have always trusted our Guest's and never ask for a deposit or advance payment. However some Guest's feel more comfortable by paying upfront or don't like carrying too much cash. In this case you may ask me for my personal bank details for a direct transfer.
Do I need an international driving license?
Tourist are allowed to drive with their regular driving license for a maximum 3 month's from the date of their arrival
Do You Accept Credit Cards?
Our business is too small to qualify for a merchant account with any bank. Further there is no land line available to use with such a card processing machine. We only accept cash (or bank transfers.)
Please make sure that your bank has been informed that you are travelling and will be using your credit/debit cards. There have been a number of times Guests have arriving and finding they cannot use their cards.
What Vaccinations Do I Need?
Guest often have the impression on the internet that Borneo is a disease ridden island. Malaria and Dengue are very rarely reported in Sarawak, much less in Kuching. But if you feel you need to protect yourself then please take which ever vaccinations you think you need. For your information there have never been any reports of Rabies on the whole island. My personal recommendation is that you at the minimum get a Tetanus Vaccination.
What Is Your Check Out Time Since We Have A Late Flight?
We do not have a fixed check out time. If you have a late flight out then we will be more than happy for you to check out as late as needed UNLESS there is a check in to the same accommodation earlier to your departure. If this happens we will advise you as soon as possible.
How Do We Get To You?
Give us your time and place. If you are flying in please give us not only your arrival time but also your flight number. If you are coming from elsewhere like the city please let us know at least 24 hours before hand.
If you want to make your own way let us know too and we will provide you with the directions. Our farm does not have any signage to point anyone the way here and we keep it that way that is private.
Do I Need Mosquito Nets?
Although there are mosquito nets provided with all the beds, we ourselves have never used them.
Are There Many Mosquito's?
The farm is mostly surrounded by the jungle and there will always be a mosquito or two usually at dusk and on rainy days.
How Do You Control The Mosquito's?
We smoke the accommodation in the evenings with coconut husks. Apart from that mosquito coils are provided which are also pre-lit before you arrive. These last usually 8 hours. Please use these as and when you wish if ever needing more to be continued lit. In addition we have made many water features around the farm and utilize frogs and bats to keep the insect population down.
Should We Bring Our Own Repellent?
How Much Do You Charge For Children?
Children under 10 are complimentary to a maximum of 2 children for every couple. Additional children will incur additional charges as per website mentioned.
Do You Provide Laundry Service?
Although no mention is made on the main website we still will take in your clothing and wash them IF you request as such. There is no charge for this although most guest will tip the lady who does not only the laundry but also keep the accommodation clear and clean everyday. Alternatively you will have access to the washing machines in the laundry room below Olivia's Bungalow but PLEASE do not overload the machine.
Do We Need To Bring Our Own Soap & Shampoo?
No, these are provided for all lodgings. But please bring your own if you wish so.
Do We Need To Give Tips?
There is no expectations for tips. But if you feel that the staff have done you a service which you feel deserves a tip then please do so by giving the tip directly to the staff concerned.
Are There ATM's In Kuching?
Kuching is a small modern vibrant city. The nearest ATM's are at the PETRONAS petrol station or at the hyper supermarket (E-Mart) both 20-25 minutes away. There are of course many ATM's located in the city itself and as mentioned there are 3 ATM's at the airport.
Do The ATM's Dispense USD's?
Sorry to disappoint you but the last time I checked Sarawak is not a state of America. Hence the ATM's dispense Malaysian Ringgits only.
Do I Need To Book For Trips?
No. The only challenge in relation to booking for trips is when you might want to visit a National Park and want a guide. The good ones we recommend are usually booked ahead of time but there is no need for a guide in most National Parks. Other things that need bookings are the Kuching Wetlands Cruise and Kayaking. You can book for these directly using the mobile phone which we will provide which have the numbers preset. These contacts speak and understand English.
Do You Cater To Vegetarians?
Yes, we do. And let us take this opportunity to remind you to let us know of any dietary requirements at the time of your booking. Please note that we can cater to a gluten free diet if needed. Please make known your diet requirements when making the booking.
What Kind Of Food Do You Prepare?
You eat what we eat unless there is a special requirement you might have. We try our best to make sure that the produce is at all times mostly grown and from the farm. There will always be vegetable dishes, fish from our ponds ,meat and occasionally prawns or crabs depending on what we catch. Please make known your diet requirements when making the booking, not at the very last moment when the meal is already served.
Where Do We Have Our Meals?
You will be sent the meals to your accommodation unless we inform you that we will be serving dinner at the main kitchen. Lunch at 12.00 PM and Dinner at 7.00 PM unless otherwise specified. In the case of the Longhouse you take the meals there at the adjoining dining house.The Bungalow's, Longhouses, Little Kabin & Guest House rentals come with ingredients to prepare your own breakfast. PLEASE TAKE NOTE In cases where and when you are out for the day kindly let us know if you are returning. Otherwise we will assume you are not having the meals and will not prepare. If you are on the farm and want either meals then let us know at least an hour before as we prepare meals fresh and this takes time.
Is There Wifi?
There is free WiFi at the converted cow shed located at the front but not at the moment in other area's of the farm. Be warned that the signal is weak (best in the morning or late night) but good enough for checking emails but not strong enough for Skype. The Wifi has been located to the front Chill Out Shed formerly the Cow Shed is recognized as 'The Kebun' (no password).
Is There Cell Phone Reception?
Yes. There will also be a cell phone provided to you for the duration of your stay. And a friendly reminder to not abuse this with calling overseas unless you advise us in case of emergencies. Please remember to bring the cell phone with you when you go out in case we need to contact each other for whatever relevant reason.
Can We Explore On Our Own?
It is best that you explore the surrounding area on your own. We have our personal assigned complimentary cars you can borrow, just fill in the fuel which is at your own expense. Also PLEASE top up the fuel tank for the next guest. There will be a Garmin provided which has already been set with the usual sights. A map is also provided in the car. Don't forget to bring along our in-house guide book for your easy planning. PLEASE NOTE to not mess with the settings of the Garmin in particular clearing the 'Favourites' which is important for each Guest use. It takes us a lot of time to re-program everything in.
Are The Trials In The National Parks Safe And Easy To Navigate?
Yes, the trials in all the National Parks are safe and well marked.

If you need a driver, the rate is usually at RM100.00 per day. Give us as much notice as possible so as that we can let the freelance guide/driver know. Please pay them directly.
Is Self Driving Safe?
Kuching drivers are very laid back and take their time. All our Guest's who drove so far have had no issue's at all.
Are There Baby Cots Provided?
There are 1 baby cot each in the Bungalows & the Longhouse complete with it's own mosquito nets.

Is There A Television?
Yes. There is a television is each Bungalow as mentioned on our website. There are no televisions in the longhouse anymore because of complaints of inconsiderate guests who turn the volume too high even when there are other guest's in the same longhouse late into the night. You are more than welcomed to come to the old cow shed (which we also call the chill out area) to watch television.
Do We Need To Take Anti-Malaria Medication?
If you feel you should and have been advised by your doctor then please do. I have lived in and near the jungle for most of my adult life and have never been infected by malaria.
Can The Tap Water Be Used For Brushing Our Teeth?
None of our teeth have fallen off and all our teeth are in good nick so far and we have not heard any complains from the farm animals in regards to their teeth falling out because of the water. It would be safe to assume the tap water is safe for brushing your teeth. In case you still want to feel safe help yourself to the mineral water (complimentary), the water from the dispenser or even if you are feeling adventurous brush your teeth facing the sky (applicable when it is raining very hard)
How Do We Find You When We Are On The Farm?

This will help cut down our workload in needing to mop and dry the floors everyday.
Are Meals Included In The Rates?
All meals are included in the rate when taken on the farm.
What Time Are Meals Served?
Lunch and dinner are served at 12.00 pm and 7.00 pm respectively and are delivered to you unless the times have been arranged otherwise.

If you do not help to wash up then please leave the dirty dishes outside because wasted food will always attract rats and other jungle creatures

As mentioned on our website the main longhouse has 5 rooms for which sleeps from 1 to 3 each. The Headman's Longhouse sleeps 4.

We Want To Book The Longhouse But Am Worried That It Will Be Very Crowded
As far as The Longhouse is concerned we will only have a maximum of 2 families at one time because there are only 2 cars allocated for The Longhouse.

Op-Ed Contributor
The Dead Center
By ROBERT B. REICH
Published: January 29, 2004
The dismal fifth-place showing by Senator Joseph Lieberman in the New Hampshire primary on Tuesday serves as both reminder and motivator to the other Democratic presidential candidates on what it will take to win in November. For so long now, everyone has assumed that recapturing the presidency depends on who triumphs in the battle between liberals and moderates within the party. Such thinking, though, is inherently flawed. The real fight is between those who want only to win back the White House and those who also want to build a new political movement — one that rivals the conservative movement that has given Republicans their dominant position in American politics.
Senator Lieberman's defeat on Tuesday could be a good indicator of which side is ahead. To their detriment, Mr. Lieberman and the perennially dour Democratic Leadership Council have been deeply wary of any hint of a progressive movement, preferring instead an uninspired centrist message that echoes Republican themes.
On the other extreme is Howard Dean, who could be called the quintessential "movement" Democrat. His campaign is both grass-roots and reformist, and is based on the proposition that ordinary people must be empowered to "take back America." Similar threads can also be seen in the campaigns of Senators John Edwards and John Kerry. (Full disclosure: I've been helping Senator Kerry.) It was no accident after last week's caucuses in Iowa that a beaming Senator Edwards told supporters they had "started a movement to change America."
I hope that Mr. Edwards and the others will stay on message — and movement. After all, Democrats have seen what the Republican Party has been able to accomplish over the years. The conservative movement has developed dedicated sources of money and legions of ground troops who not only get out the vote, but also spend the time between elections persuading others to join their ranks. It has devised frames of reference that are used repeatedly in policy debates (among them: it's your money, tax and spend, political correctness, class warfare).
It has a system for recruiting and electing officials nationwide who share the same world view and who will vote accordingly. And it has a coherent ideology uniting evangelical Christians, blue-collar whites in the South and West, and big business — an ideology in which foreign enemies, domestic poverty and crime, and homosexuality all must be met with strict punishment and religious orthodoxy.
In contrast, the Democratic Party has had no analogous movement to animate it. Instead, every four years party loyalists throw themselves behind a presidential candidate who they believe will deliver them from the rising conservative tide. After the election, they go back to whatever they were doing before. Other Democrats have involved themselves in single-issue politics — the environment, campaign finance, the war in Iraq and so on — but these battles have failed to build a political movement. Issues rise and fall, depending on which interests are threatened and when. They can even divide Democrats, as each advocacy group scrambles after the same set of liberal donors and competes for the limited attention of the news media.
As a result, Democrats have been undisciplined, intimidated or just plain silent. They have few dedicated sources of money, and almost no ground troops. The religious left is disconnected from the political struggle. One hears few liberal Democratic phrases that are repeated with any regularity. In addition, there is no consistent Democratic world view or ideology. Most Congressional Democrats raise their own money, do their own polls and vote every which way. Democrats have little or no clear identity except by reference to what conservatives say about them.
Self-styled Democratic centrists, like those who inhabit the Democratic Leadership Council, attribute the party's difficulties to a failure to respond to an electorate grown more conservative, upscale and suburban. This is nonsense. The biggest losses for Democrats since 1980 have not been among suburban voters but among America's giant middle and working classes — especially white workers without four-year college degrees, once part of the old Democratic base. Not incidentally, these are the same people who have lost the most economic ground over the last quarter-century.
Democrats could have responded with bold plans on jobs, schools, health care and retirement security. They could have delivered a strong message about the responsibility of corporations to help their employees in all these respects, and of wealthy elites not to corrupt politics with money. More recently, the party could have used the threat of terrorism to inspire the same sort of sacrifice and social solidarity as Democrats did in World War II — including higher taxes on the wealthy to pay for what needs doing. In short, they could have turned themselves into a populist movement to take back democracy from increasingly concentrated wealth and power.

Review Details
GE SmartWater FXUTC Undersink Water Filter Replacement Cartridge
Product Rating:
Product Review (submitted on February 9, 2009):
Installation is very quick and easy. The filters easily last six months when used for drinking water from the tap, water and ice from the fridge. Water in Pueblo, Co. is very hard and has a bad chlorine odor. Sometimes it even smells fishy. The filter removes all this and more I am sure. Just an excellent product.

ESSEX JUNCTION, Vt. (AP) - Vermont beekeepers say they face mite infestations, extreme temperature swings and the possibility of colony collapse. But a San Francisco State University professor says a new threat has arrived in Vermont: zombie bees.
Beekeeper Anthony Cantrell says he discovered the bees infected by a parasitic fly in his hive in October. Professor John Hafernik says they're the first of the zombie bees identified on the East Coast.
Hafernik told a meeting of Vermont beekeepers on Tuesday that a fly attaches itself to the bee and injects its eggs, which grow inside the bee. Hafernik says this is presumed to cause neurological damage resulting in erratic, jerky movement and night activity, "like a zombie."
Vermont Agricultural Production Specialist Stephen Parise says they are not sure if Cantrell's bees are an isolated occurrence.

overall it was fine and suited our purposes for one night, but it was a shame they felt they had to charge us an extra 5 euros each to store our bicycles in their garage. this felt like gratuitous moneymaking, for something that cost them absolutely nothing. other than that, it is a decent, functional hotel, with nice staff, and was near the train station which was what we wanted. they couldn't offer us an alarm call which is something they need to sort out...

Illinois Policy Institute
April 15, 2014
Chicago politicians have exploited city-worker pensions for nearly two decades. They've used the city's pension systems as slush funds and pension benefits as bargaining chips to further their own agenda, with seemingly no regard for Chicago's fiscal health. Now those pension systems are nearly insolvent and the city is heading toward bankruptcy. Chicago is facing an onslaught of credit downgrades, billion-dollar budget deficits and grim comparisons to Detroit. Chicago's deepening crisis will soon force politicians to decide between two paths. The first is to use tax hikes to prop up a failed system run by the same politicians who bankrupted it. The second is to give workers control over their own retirements and to make the tough choices necessary to bring about real retirement security for Chicago's city workers. The Illinois Policy Institute's proposal follows the second path.

Good as ever, of course.
I like the tribal culture you're developing here; it's always nice to see different cultures and subcultures in sci-fi, and I like thinking about how these people relate to urbanized "mainstream" Cardassians as you present them. They are certainly convincing, and I look forward to seeing more comparisons with the culture Dukat is used to.
Thanks! I figured that in a version of Cardassia where the government never took a repressive turn, that much greater diversity was pretty much a given. The other really awesome thing about writing this is just how LONG a time span Cardassian history covers, in comparison to ours. The Cataclysm occurred 500 years ago, and is like medieval/renaissance history in terms of chronological distance. Entire histories and traditions were born (or added to) in that time, yet they were probably at an Earth early 22nd-century level of technology then.
I figured in that kind of world, you'd have some people who chose to maintain their tribal lifestyles for any number of reasons...and I think the experience of the Cataclysm reinforced their decision, as far as they were concerned. When the deserts spread, they simply migrated with it; their lifestyle was adapted to it already and not disrupted like that of the city dwellers.
That said, they haven't forgotten the other part of their heritage, either. That's why they passed down the language as a sort of inheritance for all of their children, and they don't see the city dwellers as inferior. After all, you can't put down your own cousins!
Dukat as a character continues to remain engaging, though I am anxious to see what happens to his family. Of course, for all I know he'll never find out....
The fog of war really sucks for those who are in it. :-/
And I'm glad you like AU Dukat. I hope you feel like he has the same genetics, even though he's been raised so differently and made such different choices!
Sorry my review is so short; I have very little internet time at present. Next week, I can write something more substantial.
Not a problem!

Transportation in the north country might be described as a three-legged stool: airplanes, highways and freight rail are the channels by which products are shipped.
But the regions freight rail system is often overlooked by municipal leaders as a foundation for economic development, Donald C. Alexander said Tuesday during a regional rail conference at the Watertown Elks Club, co-hosted by the Jefferson County Local Development Corp. and National Grid.
Highlights discussed during the daylong conference, involving about 60 private and public sector leaders, included the goal of rebuilding the 46-mile rail line from Newton Falls to Carthage; securing state grant funding for rail projects; and the pros and cons of using rail for companies.
Mr. Alexander, CEO of the JCLDC, said the conferences goal was to start an ongoing dialogue with stakeholders in Jefferson, Lewis, St. Lawrence and Franklin counties about how to improve the regions aging rail infrastructure. Launching a regional rail committee was seen as a possibility.
Im hoping well raise the level of visibility of freight rail to an area of importance equal to air and highway systems, Mr. Alexander said.
Raymond F. Hessinger, freight rail bureau director for the state Department of Transportation, spoke about the need for public officials and manufacturers that use rail to collaborate on projects and understand each others unique needs.
Companies use three main factors to decide how to ship products: service, cost and speed, Mr. Hessinger said. Rail has an edge when it comes to providing quality, inexpensive service for moving commodities in bulk quantities.
Its certainly not the fastest way to get your goods there trucks are probably going to do it faster, he said. But if youre shipping a lot of heavy materials, rail is going to be the type of transportation choice youre going to typically make.
Two main railways operate lines that stretch through the north country. CSX Transportation Co. operates a line from Syracuse to Massena, which passes through Fort Drum. To the east, Calgary-based Canadian Pacific Railway operates a line from Montreal to New York City that crosses through the Adirondacks.
Public sector officials should seek to develop priority sites for the type of rail shipment that companies will be attracted to in the future, Mr. Hessinger said. Officials should also be sensitive to the fact that there is often a disconnect between the interests of public officials and businesses that are seeking to use rail.
The railroads interests and our interests arent always 100 percent aligned, he said. Theyre in the business to make money, but we tend to lay down a public policy agenda. Sometimes they fit together, sometimes they dont. But you need to talk through those differences and find those opportunities where two interests are alike.
It is also critical for railways that operate short lines such as the 46-mile line that used to be operated by Mohawk, Adirondack and Northern Railroad Corp. to have infrastructure that supports todays 286,000-pound rail cars, Mr. Hessinger said.
A $9.9 million state grant was secured in 2012 by the St. Lawrence County Industrial Development Agency to rebuild the lines old infrastructure. A 15-year payment-in-lieu-of-taxes agreement that will lower the cost of doing business for the railway needs approval from taxing jurisdictions in Jefferson County to break ground on that project. Last year, St. Lawrence and Lewis counties OKd separate PILOT agreements that were needed.
Applying for state grant funding from the DOT is now a highly competitive process, Mr. Hessinger said. Anywhere from $10 million to $20 million is expected to be earmarked in the Legislatures budget this year for rail projects. But the DOT typically gets applications that collectively amount to roughly five times more than available funding.
Donald W. Rutherford, CEO of the Watertown Local Development Corp., told Mr. Bessinger that the agency is now exploring funding opportunities to make rail sidings accessible to prospective businesses at the City Center Park off South Bellow Avenue. The agency is debating whether it would be worthwhile to rehabilitate an existing rail spur at the park, even though it doesnt have specific plans for a tenant to move in.
Can we apply for the funding to move the rail siding now, and then use that as a marketing tool to attract a tenant? Mr. Rutherford asked.
Mr. Hessinger, in response, said that it could be challenging to secure a state grant for a rail project if a specific developers plans arent included in the funding application.
The work could be eligible for funding, but it could be difficult without knowing what your developers needs are on that site, he said. Developers have different needs, in terms of what rail facilities theyre looking at. We want to make sure the work fits with a company thats moving into that site.
Other speakers at the conference were Robert Celenze, manager of startup and integration, CSX Transportation; Eric P. King, an installation transportation officer at Fort Drum; Evan Eisenhandler, executive director, New York Operation Lifesaver, Albany; Mark C. Hall, town of Fine supervisor, St. Lawrence County Industrial Development Agency; Cameron Charles, director of operations, Interstate Commodities Inc., Troy, and Norman L. Barkley Jr., director of regulatory affairs and safety, Slack Chemical Co., Carthage.

POLITICS AS USUAL by Lincoln Chafee
Governor-elect Lincoln Chafee has to be looking around at his closest advisors about now and saying: ŌĆ£I wanted this job, WHY?ŌĆØ
ChafeeŌĆÖs backside has yet to create a dent in the governorŌĆÖs chair and already he is getting it from all sides.
He is getting whacked around on talk radio about his promise to overturn Governor CarcieriŌĆÖs executive order on illegal immigration. He is getting hammered about his pledge to support same-sex marriage, even though that would take legislation that hasnŌĆÖt been introduced yet and would probably have problems passing in the Senate.
Honeymoon? Fuhgeddaboutit!
The man is going to be governor for the next four years. We, the people elected him. And donŌĆÖt start in with all that nonsense about how he won with 36 percent of the vote. We held an election and he got more votes than any other candidate for governor. He won. Learn to live with it.
DonŌĆÖt worry, he is going to get enough things wrong over the next four years that there will be ample opportunity to beat him over the head about any number of issues, things we can already see coming down the road and things that are going to hit us seemingly from out of nowhere.
But letŌĆÖs at least give him a chance to screw up, or at the very least, let him get inaugurated, before we all pile on him.
People tell pollsters they are sick and tired of the petty bickering between Republicans and Democrats and government operating on the basis of partisanship rather than for the good of the people.
Well, now we have an Independent in the State House, one who is demonstrating that he will pick people (and the ideas that come with them) from both Democratic and Republican backgrounds. He deserves a shot to see if he can make it work.
n However, on the rescission of the executive order, he is going to have to come up with a good answer (or at least a better one than he has supplied to date) about what he wants the State Police to do when they encounter an illegal alien in the course of an investigation or on patrol.
He has said the law must be obeyed, so that would mean turning all illegals over to ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement), but that is exactly what the executive order does and that is what the Latino community was up in arms about, even more than they were about E-Verify.
I didnŌĆÖt pay a lot of attention to Chafee when he was mayor of Warwick, but I did follow him pretty closely when he got to the U.S. Senate. I really donŌĆÖt see where he got this reputation as an ultra-leftist, an uber-liberal, a super-progressive.
Yes, he was a bit liberal for the national Republicans when he was in the Senate, but that barely qualifies him as the equivalent of a moderate Democrat. He is somewhat liberal on social issues like abortion and gay rights, but if you ask him, he will tell you he is a conservative on fiscal issues and a deficit hawk.
That could very well give him what I call a Barack Obama problem down the road.
The people who already donŌĆÖt like him probably are never going to come around to his side ŌĆö especially the people who seem to hate him with a white-hot passion that I just donŌĆÖt understand, because to me he doesnŌĆÖt seem like the kind of guy to arouse radical emotions one way or the other. He is quiet, mild-mannered and his proposals are overall pretty modest and centrist.
By the same token, the people who bought, and liked, the idea that he is a wild-eyed leftist radical who is going to come in and set Rhode Island on fire, the people who WANT him to be the kind of governor that his detractors are afraid he is going to be, I believe are going to be bitterly disappointed.
As a result, he might not be able to please anybody, which is the position Obama seems to find himself in right now. Maybe he should get on the phone and talk with his buddy the president about what it is like to be in no-win political situations.
Chafee might not bash the state employee unions the way Carcieri made his Republican bones doing, but I donŌĆÖt see him giving them the keys to the state treasury, either, no matter what picture of a union lackey his political foes try to paint.
Both his critics and his friends are going to find that Chafee will bend, but when you try to push him to the breaking point he will dip into reserves of Yankee stubbornness and start to push back. He is stronger than a lot of people give him credit for being.
Speaking of no honeymoon, I donŌĆÖt get why the Senate is coming in for a special session this week to confirm the nomination of seven judges that Governor Carcieri sent up almost as an afterthought on his way out the door.
Confirmation is a done deal. You know that once a nominee is posted for a committee hearing on advice and consent, their confirmation is automatic. The Judiciary Committee hearings are going to be what they always are for prospective judges: bum-kissing love fests. After that, the full Senate will be its usual rubber-stamp.
Why would the Democratic Senate do a Republican governor that kind of favor instead of letting the new governor make his own choices? Why not make Chafee owe them one right out of the box? HeŌĆÖs the guy whoŌĆÖs going to be there for the next four years,
Carcieri has already had more than an ample opportunity to put his stamp on the judiciary, why let him pick seven more judges virtually as a kiss goodbye?
Everybody on all sides always vociferously deny that deals are made in the selection of judges, but this kind of action makes you question that.
I tried to ask Senate President Teresa Paiva Weed about this last week, but my message was never returned.

The Famous Hoxsey Formula -
Hear about Hoxsey on Coast to Coast AM?
Ingredient descriptions:
Red Clover Blossom (Trifolium pratense)
Actions: Antineoplastic, alterative, depurative, expectorant, antispasmodic, antiseptic.
Common Use: A very useful remedy for skin problems, especially safe for children, it is also commonly used in the therapy of chronic skin problems such as psoriasis. The expectorant and anti-spasmodic action of red clover make it a natural alternative for coughs and bronchitis, and especially in whooping cough. As an alterative with exceptional blood cleansing properties, red clover is indicated in a wide range of problems when approached in a holistic sense. This herb is also included in the Hoxsey formula.
Licorice Root (Glycyrrhiza glabra)
Actions: Expectorant, demulcent, anti-inflammatory, adrenal agent, antispasmodic, mild laxative, alterative, antibacterial, antimicrobial, antitoxic, tonic, pectoral.
Common Use: In China, licorice root has been called "The Great Detoxifier." It acts on the endocrine system and the liver as an anti-hepatotoxic. Also as an expectorant and anti-inflammatory it may be useful in coughs and bronchitis. A recent study found that licorice root actually stimulates the production of interferon, that critical chemical in the immune system that could benefit the body in response to many immune response deficiencies. Licorice root also possesses estrogenic activity, and is said to be beneficial as a uterine tonic and to induce normal ovulation. This herb is also included in the Hoxsey formula. 5 to 30 drops 2-3 times daily. Caution: Excessive and prolonged use of licorice root can cause sodium retention and potassium depletion. Potassium supplementation (75-100mg daily) prevents this problem. Not recommended if nursing or pregnant.
Buckthorn Aged Bark (Rhamnus cathartica)
Actions: Laxative, diuretic, bitter tonic, alterative, cathartic, hepatic.
Common use: This herb is a mild and yet reliable laxative, stimulating the action of both the stomach and bowels very favorably. Also as a bitter tonic to ease digestion. Do not exceed dosage. Not recommended if nursing or pregnant.
Burdock Root (Arctium lappa)
Actions: Alterative, depurative, diuretic, bitter, tonic.
Common Use: This root is well known for its blood cleansing properties and is used in innumerable herbal medicines and blood remedies. Experiments on burdock have shown it to lower blood sugar, and destroy fungal and bacteria cultures. Japanese researchers at Nagoya University found in burdock (aka Gobo root in Japan) a new type of desmutagen, a substance that is uniquely capable of reducing cell mutation in either the absence or the presence of metabolic activation. This new property is so important, the Japanese scientists named it the B-factor for "burdock factor." In general, it is claimed burdock will help restore the body to a state of integration and health. Burdock is also included in the Hoxsey formula and Rene Caisse's Essiac formula.
Stillingia Root (Stillingia sylvatica)
Actions: Alterative, depurative, expectorant, diaphoretic, sialagogue, astringent, antispasmodic.
Common Use: This plant is an excellent alterative acting primarily on the lymphatic and secretory systems. American Eclectic physicians in the 19th century used it in cases in which an alterative could be recommended. Another area of application is in bronchitis and laryngitis, especially where it is accompanied by a loss of voice. As an astringent it may be used in a number of conditions, but especially for hemorrhoids. This herb is also included in the Hoxsey formula.
Poke Root (Phytolacca americana)
Actions: Alterative, emetic, antirheumatic, stimulant, anticatarrhal, purgative, tonic.
Common Use: Poke root has a wide range of uses and is a valuable addition to many holistic remedies. The root has a very favorable influence on the glandular system, inciting and increasing its action. It regulates the liver and bowels and cleanses the blood and is therefore highly valued in conditions due to impurities in the blood. It is often used as a remedy for upper respiratory infections, coughs, tonsillitis, laryngitis, swollen glands and mumps. It is an excellent aid in cleansing the lymphatic glands throughout the body and is especially helpful in mastitis. Poke root also has a use in rheumatism. This herb is also included in the Hoxsey formula. CAUTION: In large doses Poke root is a powerful purgative and emetic (causes vomiting). Use With Care. Not recommended if nursing or pregnant.
Barberry Root Bark (Berberis vulgaris)
Actions: Bitter tonic, cholagogue, hepatic, laxative, antibilious, anti-emetic.
Common Use: Believed to be an excellent remedy for correcting liver function and promoting the flow of bile. Indicated for inflammation of the gall bladder, gall stones and jaundice (when due to a congested state of the liver). As a bitter tonic with mild laxative effects, it is believed to strengthen and cleanse the system. Also said to be effective in reducing an enlarged spleen. This herb is also included in the Hoxsey formula. Do not use if nursing or pregnant.
Oregon Grape Root (Berberis / Mahonia aquifolium)
Actions: Alterative, hepatic, cholagogue, laxative, anti-emetic, anticatarrhal, tonic.
Common Use: Oregon grape is similar in action to golden seal and barberry (they all contain berberine). It acts as a tonic on the liver and gall bladder and can be useful in chronic and scaly skin problems, which can be caused by systematic imbalances. Also known to be helpful for stomach and gall bladder conditions, especially where there is associated nausea and vomiting. This herb is included in the Hoxsey formula.
Cascara Sagrada Aged Bark (Rhamnus purshiana)
Actions: Gentle laxative, bitter tonic, hepatic, mild purgative.
Common Use: Considered one of the most useful among the popular botanical laxatives, cascara's mild and yet effective action on the bowels makes it a favored mild laxative. It acts by increasing the muscular action of the intestines, toning and cleansing them. This herb is also included in the Hoxsey formula.
Prickly Ash Bark (Xanthoxylum americanum v. sp.)
Actions: Stimulant, tonic, alterative, carminative, diaphoretic, sialagogue, febrifuge.
Common Uses: Prickly ash may be used in a way that is similar to cayenne, although it is slower in action. It is used in many chronic problems such as rheumatism and skin diseases. Any sign of poor circulation can be benefited by the use of this herb, chilblains, cramp in the legs, varicose veins and varicose ulcers. Due to its stimulating effect on the lymphatic system, circulation and mucous membranes, it will have a role in the holistic relief of many specific conditions. This herb is also included in the Hoxsey formula.
Wild Indigo Root (Baptisia tinctoria)
Actions: Antimicrobial, anticatarrhal, alterative, febrifuge, antiseptic.
Common Use: Wild indigo is an herb to be considered wherever there is a focused infection, especially infections and catarrh in the ear, nose and throat. It may be used for laryngitis, tonsillitis, pharyngitis and catarrhal infections of the nose and sinus. Taken internally and as a mouthwash it will help with mouth ulcers, gingivitis, and in the control of pyorrhea. Also used effectively to treat enlarged and inflamed lymph glands, the action of this plant exerts a vital influence, aiding in metabolism by stimulating the elimination of accumulated waste in the body and encouraging normal organic activity. This herb is also included in the Hoxsey formula. Use With Care. Better long term in formulas.
Kelp (Laminaria species) or Bladderwrack (Fucus vesiculosus)
Actions: Alterative, antirheumatic, antibacterial, antibiotic, cardiac tonic, antioxidant.
Common Uses: One of the richest sources of micro-nutrition, minerals, and trace minerals, kelp is especially high in iodine and potassium. It has proved most useful in the relief of underactive thyroid function and for alkalizing blood chemistry. The extensive research done on this remarkable seaweed has shown it to have antibiotic, antioxidant and antibacterial properties. Kelp also has the ability to protect against environmental toxins, increase circulation and help lower cholesterol, among other benefits.

Top Prospect Dylan Bundy, Outfielder Jeremy Nowak, Infielder Ty Kelly Selected to Represent the Carolina League in Annual All-Star Game
Frederick, MD – Baltimore Orioles' top prospect Dylan Bundy, along with Ty Kelly and Jeremy Nowak, were named 2012 Carolina League All-Stars and will participate in the annual All-Star game, held this year at Winston-Salem on Tuesday, June 17th.
It's the first time since 2010 the Keys have had at least three players sent to the annual showcase event, which features the Carolina League All-Stars taking on the California League's own crop of All-Stars. Past Keys selections include current Orioles Jake Arrieta (2008), Zach Britton (2009), Nick Markakis (2005), Brian Matusz(2009), Nolan Reimold (2006), and Matt Wieters (2008).
Highlighting the group sent to Winston-Salem is Bundy, who at 19 years old is the youngest player selected to the Carolina League All-Star team. Named by ESPN's Keith Law as the best prospect in Minor League Baseball, the Sperry, Oklahoma native holds a 3.00 ERA through three starts in the Carolina League.
Considered by Baseball America as the Orioles' best prospect, Bundy now holds a combined 1.00 ERA and 0.533 WHIP through 11 starts with both Delmarva and Frederick. This is Bundy's first professional season after being chosen fourth overall in last year's draft. Bundy was the Baseball America, USA Today, and Gatorade Player of the Year for Owasso (OK) High School. Bundy's brother Bobby was the Keys lone all-star selection in 2011.
Kelly was the lone Keys player selected as a starter and will play third base. Rated by Baseball America as having the best strike-zone discipline in the Orioles organization, Kelly's .426 on-base percentage is third-highest in the Carolina League while his .321 batting average ranks fifth. Last year while with Delmarva, Kelly was named a South Atlantic League All-Star and in 2009 was named a New York-Penn League All-Star with Aberdeen.
Nowak, whose .316 batting average ranks seventh in the Carolina League, will be making his first-ever all-star appearance. The Cheektowaga, New York native leads the Keys in hits and has been on base or has recorded an RBI in a staggering 45 of 50 games this season.
The league's All-Stars were voted on by members of the media, coaches, and general managers.

TSA Expanding Eligibility for Expedited Security Screening to More Travelers
Good news for air travelers that want to use the fast lane at the security checkpoint. The Transportation Security Administration is opening enrollment to its popular TSA Preêprogram to the general public beginning this fall.
Currently, only select Frequent Flyers of participating airlines are invited to apply. Members of U.S. Customs & Border Protection's trusted traveler programs such as Global Entry may also use the special screening lane where one is allowed to leave on their shoes, belts, and jackets and keep laptops in their carry-on bags.
Soon, any U.S. citizen will be able to apply online before visiting an enrollment site, providing fingerprints, passing a background check, and paying an estimated $85 for a 5-year membership in the program. Once approved they will receive a Known Traveler Number to use when booking a flight with a participating airline.
TSA added Memphis International's "B" checkpoint" to their Preê program in April of this year. With the expansion of the TSA Preê program to the general public, an additional fast lane is expected to be added.

Aleria by Testa Maura
Aleria opens with a very nice natural grassy lemon which soon morphs into a bergamot orange accord. The lemon quickly fades but the orange remains into the heart notes, melding with an herbal floral myrtle note with just a hint of cedar wood from the base. During the dry-down the orange finally recedes allowing the cedar to dominate, with just a faint hint of a beeswax accord joining it to smooth out and anchor its woody nature. Projection is poor and so is longevity.

Hey everyone. I've noticed everyone doing recaps of 2012, and well, I got a bit bored of them. I know what happened this year! So I decided to jump into my time machine, which I have, naturally, and see what next year will have in store for us. So here it is, my recap of 2013 for people who have just entered it:
New Consoles
E3 came around, and as everyone expected, Sony and Microsoft announced that they would be bringing new consoles out. Sadly the release of both was delayed til early 2014. In this generation, the consoles will contain components which you can swap out and customize. The shock announcement was that the consoles would be "ever-evolving"! Every six months or so, the lucky consumer will be able to buy new bit to put in, which will improve the performance of the machine! It was labeled "revolutionary" by console gamers. PC gamers looked at each other in confusion, but decided not to mention anything.
Bioshock Infinite
Bioshock Infinite finally came out after four extra months of delay. When it was released, the reason it had taken so long was revealed. All of the trailers up until that point had been a lie, and secretly, Irrational had been changing it into a free-to-play, multiplayer-only shooter. Having seen the success of the F2P model, there was no doubt in Ken Levine's mind that the transformation had to be made. "Fooled you!" Ken tweeted, the day after Infinite's release. After a highly successful opening day of sales, scathing reviews went out and sales plummeted.
Zynga's Rise To Glory
One of the more surprising stories of the year saw Zynga break out of the social/ mobile game market, and into big AAA titles. Their first game, entitled "Ancient Evil", saw the player take on the role of a normal guy, who just happens to be "The One", and has to save the world from ancient aliens. The day after release, Crytek, 343 Studios, Ubisoft and Bioware all sent out their own press releases stating "Hey, that's our idea!". Since then, the biggest legal battle in history has been raging to find out who actually thought of it first. An end to the proceedings is nowhere in sight at time of writing. Meanwhile people have been playing Ancient Evil, and it's actually okay.
THQ Returns
Fans rejoiced as THQ was bought out by Ubisoft. Saints Row 4 was released, and for the majority of the game the player took part in the same fun experience of open world mayhem that the series is known for. In the final act of the game however, ancient aliens emerged from underneath Steelport. After donning a specialized suit, you enter your brand new flying machine, The Brittany, and fight them off. Ubisoft was sued by several companies, and these lawsuits have all become part of the larger one mentioned earlier.
They really were twelve months to remember, have a good year everybody!

Amazon.com Product Description----May 7, 2008 Garmin's nüvi 255 improvesupon its 200-series predecessors by adding top-of-the-line features such as FM traffic updates or MSN Direct content to an entry-level line. But Garmin is also introducing some significant improvements with this new series, like a predictive technology that provides faster satellite lock, a redesigned screen with more information, terrain maps, and an exciting new photo navigation feature. The 255 adds complete maps for North America and Text-to-Speech, so you get turn by turn spoken directions with the real names of streets (e.g. "turn left in 50 feet at Nebraska Way", rather than merely "turn left in 50 feet").
The nüvi 2x5 models all sport the slim design that Garmin introduced with the 200-series last year, so they all fit comfortably in your pocket or purse, and a rechargeable lithium-ion battery that makes them convenient for navigation by car or foot.All of the models include useful travel tools like a JPEG picture viewer, world travel clock with time zones, currency converter, measurement converter, calculator and more.
Important Product Information: This device features a "screen lock" feature. This is a standard feature on all nüvi 2x5 and 7x5 Garmin units. If you slide the "Power" key to the right, it will lock the screen and prevent any accidental touches. Once the screen lock feature is engaged, the screen will go black/gray after about 15 seconds to save power on the device. To unlock the screen, just slide the "Power" key to the center position. This feature is really targeted for "Pedestrian" mode so that a user can put the device in his or her pocket/purse and quickly unlock the screen instead of powering on/off continuously. For more information, see page 5 of the product manual.

Similar Constructs
Dispositional Optimism
Illness Representations
Kevin D. McCaul and Paul W. Goetz
Risk. Worry about a health event is likely to
be related to one's appraisal of risk concerning that event.
Indeed, Slovic
Slovic, P. (1987). The perception of risk. Science, 236,
280-285. has proposed that the concept of risk
has many dimensions, one of which is represented by affective
terms such as dread (also see Weinstein,
Weinstein, N. (2003). Conceptualizing and measuring risk perceptions.
Paper presented to a Workshop on Conceptualizing (and Measuring)
Perceived Risk. http://cancercontrol.cancer.gov/brp/tcrb/trend/conceptual.html
). However, empirically, risk and worry are not highly
related-data from many different health areas results in a
relationship of around r = .30 (McCaul
& Mullens, 2003
McCaul, K.D., & Mullens, A.B. (2003). Affect, Thought, and
Self-Protective Health Behavior: The Case of Worry and Cancer
Screening. In J. Suls and K. Wallston (Eds.), Social Psychological
Foundations of Health and Illness, Blackwell: Malden,
MA. ). Moreover, each variable may independently contribute
to health behaviors (Moser,
McCaul, Peters, Nelson, & Marcus, 2005
Moser, R.P., McCaul, K.D., Peters, E., Nelson, W., & Marcus,
S. (2005). Risk and worry as predictors of cancer health-protective
actions: Data from the Health Interview National Trends Survey
(HINTS). Unpublished manuscript, National Cancer Institute.
). In short, risk and worry are similar but by no means
Fear. Most theorists would agree that worry
and fear are different constructs with the latter term reserved
for brief but intense emotional episodes (Russell
& Barrett, 1999
Russell, J.A., & Barrett, L.F. (1999). Core affect, prototypical
emotional episodes, and other things called emotion:
Dissecting the elephant. Journal of Personality and Social
Psychology, 76, 805-819. ). Worry, in contrast,
is typically carried out over time, and the affect attached
to worry is much more modest than for fear. A person could
worry about cancer for several consecutive minutes many times
during a single day; it is unlikely that one would experience
full-blown fear that frequently. That said, fear and worry
do share some similar features. In particular, persons who
are afraid feel that they do not have control over a situation,
and they are uncertain about how the situation is likely to
turn out (Lerner
& Keltner, 2000
Lerner, J.S., & Keltner, D. (2000). Beyond valence: Toward
a model of emotion- specific influences on judgment and choice.
Cognition and Emotion, 14, 473-493. ). Similar
feelings characterize worried individuals (Borkovec
et al., 1983
Borkovec, T.D., Robinson, E., Pruzinsky, T., & Dupree, J.A.
(1983). Preliminary exploration of worry: Some characteristics
and processes. Behaviour Research and Therapy, 23,
481-482. ).
Other feelings. Finally, it is worth noting
that worry is one of many affective responses to health outcomes
that could be assessed. As one example, some decision scientists
have studied the construct of regret, feelings that one might
have either after selecting one decision alternative vs. another
or while anticipating making a decision. Some data suggest
that regret may be a more powerful predictor of self-protective
behavior (getting a flu immunization) than worry (see Chapman
& Coups, in press
Chapman, G.B., & Coups, E.J. (in press). Emotions and preventive
health behavior: worry, regret, and influenza vaccination.
Health Psychology. ; Weinstein
et al., 2005
Citation needed ). The overall point, however, is that
feelings matter and deserve attention to better understand
self-protective health behaviors.
