Accent on Youth During
Princesses' Island Tours
"Prinsesnan ta bini!" "De Prin-
sessen komen!" "Here come the
These greetings, for the most
part youthful, heralded the arrival
of H.R.H. Princess Irene and
H.R.H. Princess Margriet at Bea-
trix Airport July 26. Whatever the
language used to welcome the
royal visitors, the meaning was the
same -warm greetings from an
excited populace.
It was significant that children
far outnumbered adults at the air-
port because throughout the prin-
cesses' stay the accent was on
Before they were officially rec-
eived in the airport terminal by
aldermen and other government
officials, the princesses passed
through a row of smartly-clad girl
scouts and brownies. Another
formation of Antillean Girl Guild
members saluted the princesses as
they left the terminal.
Accompanied by I. S. de Cuba,
acting lieutenant governor of
Aruba, and C. Winkel, acting gov-
ernor of the Netherlands Antilles,
the princesses motored in open
cars to the Aruba Caribbean Hotel.
The route took them through the
Nassaustraat business district in
The entire fourth floor of the
hotel was reserved for the prin-
cesses and members of their of-
ficial party. The party included
their lady-in-waiting, private sec-
retary, adjutant and security per-

the princesses could have passed

of the Union.
The publisher began mailing the
books to the United States, includ-
ing Hawaii and Alaska, in May. The
750 copies were contracted for by
Lago to help subsidize the English
edition. Dr. Hartog's book was ori-
ginally published in Dutch several
years ago. It is a complete history
from ethnic origins of Aruba's
people to present-day political and
industrial developments.
Not only have the institutions
acknowledged receipt of copies of
the history but many have added
personal notes of appreciation in
cards and letters addressed to the
Public Relations Department.
A note from the Library of Hawaii
said: "Since we have very few books
about your part of the world, I am
sure we will find this volume most
interesting." And from the Des
Plains Public Library came this in-
teresting informative note: "Our city
of 42,000 population is located just
outside the new O'Hare Airport of
Chicago. Since our town has grown
some 200 per cent since 1950, we
have many executives who travel a
lot. A book such as yours will in-
terest many of our patrons."
A note from a southeastern lib-
rary, the Public Library of Winston-
Salem, North Carolina, included this
information: "This volume fills a
place in the histories of countries of
the world that we have needed. It
appears to be a complete and com-
prehensive history of Aruba."
The United States Naval Academy
advised that the book would be add-
ed to its collection for use by officers
and midshipmen; the University of
Oregon wrote that "......a work of

Lago's Thirty-Year-Old Marine Post Office
Will Close Doors Permanently Aug. 14
The Marine Post Office, a Lago service for sailors that dates back
thirty years, will close its doors and stamp windows Aug. 14. After
that date, Marine Post Office functions will be taken over by the Seroe
Colorado Post Office under the supervision of the Executive Service
Division. Sailors have more comfortable tankers as berths nowadays
but because modern tankers are big-
ger, fewer call at San Nicolas Har-
bor. This has meant less business for
the Marine Post Office and has led to
the decision to transfer operations to
Seroe Colorado's mail service.
As recently as 1959, the Marine
Post Office was handling 160,000 let-
ters annually, selhng Fls. 72,000 in
stamps and forwarding several thou-

National Safety Council
Presents Lago with Award
Of Honor Number Sixteen
Lago's sixteenth Award of Honor
from the National Safety Council has
joined the display of previous top
NSC awards in the General Office
The company received this plaque
for having operated 3,460,833 man-
hours without a disabling injury
from Dec. 6, 1961, through May 6,
1962. The Award of Honor is the
twelfth earned by Lago for having
operated a period of three million or
more manhours without a lost-time
injury. Four Awards of Honor were
the result of outstanding safety per-
formance in the petroleum industry
for a given year.
Award of Honor number fifteen
fitted the latter category. When
Lago took the National Safety Coun-
cil first place award in 1961 for its
industry group it also was awarded
an Award of Honor for outstanding
safety performance. That's the year
that Lago had a record 0.34 fre-
quency rate.
Award of Honor number fourteen
was received for a disabling-injury-
free work period from Oct. 19, 1960,
through June 6, 1961. Nearly
6,000,000 manhours were worked
during that period without a single
lost-time accident occurring.
LAGO RECENTLY received its sixt
tional Safety Council. The award wa

sand parcels. It was a common sight
to see sailors rush for the post office
after clearing customs. Nearly all
would be carrying beautifully hand-
sewn sail cloth packages. For the
most part, the packages contained
Brazilan coffee, jams, clothing and
tinned soups intended for relatives in
European countries.
Sailors will be inconvenienced only
slightly with the change in mail
handling. Ships' masters can forward
outgoing mail through the GOB re-
ceptionist or seamen can purchase
stamps from either the Government
Post Office in San Nicolas or the
International Seamen's Club. The
latter is open twenty-four hours a
day and can handle the mailing of
packages as well. These packages,
however, will have to be inspected
by customs officials before they are
cleared to be taken out of the ref-
Incoming mail will be routed
through the Seroe Colorado Post Of-
fice to the Marine Department's ship
dispatcher who will deliver the mail
on board the ship.

cent was on youth. The princesses
were met by singing children and
were presented with attractive gifts
by boys and girls.
The International Seamen's Club

Sover-all club activities with members
of the reception committee during
refreshments. On behalf of the In-
John Wesley College was rext vis-
ited by the princesses. There they
were entertained with authentic An-
tillean folk dances. Costumed dan-
cers presented the princesses with
shell figurines and a souvenir album
cut in the shape of Aruba.
From John Wesley College the of-
ficial party motored through Lago's
Main Gate to the Employee Medical
Center where they were greeted by
President W. A. Murray and mem-
bers of the Executive Committee.
The princesses toured the Employee
Medical Center before motoring
through the refinery to the Youth
Canteen in Seroe Colorado.
At the Youth Canteen, the prin-
cesses sat with the teen-age com-
mittee members of the youth orga-
nization. The youths described their
duties and answered several queries
from the princesses about canteen
After the canteen visit, the prin-

tivities once again resumed for the
visiting princesses. The Island Gov-
ernment of Aruba feted the royal
party with a barbecue at the hotel.
A tour of the island's major scenic
spots Saturday morning took the
princesses to the natural bridge and
the rock formations at Ay6. On their
way to the natural bridge the prin-
cesses stopped at the Paradera Ro-
man Catholic Church where a may-
pole dance was in full sway.
At both the natural bridge and
Ay6, Princess Irene and Princess
Margriet scrambled over the rocks
to enjoy various views of the scenic
spots. Very much in evidence was
Princess Irene's 16 mm movie camera
as she recorded the natural wonders
for her film library.
Saturday's official program was
concluded with a dinner held for the
princesses at De Olde Molen restau-
rant. The island government again
sponsored the evening's entertain-
ment which suitably was held in the
authentic Dutch windmill.
The following morning, Sunday,
the princesses departed from the air-
port that bears the name of Crown
Princess Beatrix. At the airport were
hundreds of well wishers, their good-
byes muffled by the roar of the
KLM transport as it took off with
the princesses for Bonaire.

head of the Medical Department;
Dr. R. F. Brace, Employee Medical
Center head, and Dr. J. J. Waasdorp.
A short ride through the refinery
led to the Youth Canteen in Seroe
Colorado where the princesses were
greeted by an enthusiastic crowd and
various scouting groups. At the cen-
ter, they were met by Mrs. F. G.
Frey, Woman's Club president; Mrs.
I J. Kirkman, chairman of the
Youth Canteen committee, Mrs H.

Visit Lago I
ing the course of these reports, the
princesses asked several questions
pertaining to specific functions of of-
ficers and committee heads. Princess
Irene wanted to know more about
the organization of canteen dances
and operating hours for the Canteen.
Impressed by the cordon of scouts
she met at the entrance of the
Youth Canteen building, the prin-
cess asked if these organizations
were affiliated with the schools.
Joyce Rogers, a Mariner, explained
that the various scout groups are in-
dependent organizations.
At the conclusion of the discussion,
Doug Monroe, committee president,
presented the princesses with a spec-
ial tape recording of music typical of
Aruba and a photo album of summer
activities of Seroe Colorado youth.
Following the visit to the Youth
Canteen, the royal party was escort-
ed to the home of President and Mrs.
W. A. Murray where refreshments
were served. During this time, water
skiers and sail boats staged an im-
pressive water show on the big la-
goon. Trick skiers performed several
special stunts. Overhead were four

Events of that trip were left to

In the "tween times" we did some mowing over at my sister's house. She has seven acres with about two of them in yard space. She has two riding mowers and one walking mower. Susan and I took turns on one of the riders.
It's been a rainy spring so when the grass finally dried enough to mow there were people everywhere cutting grass. Here Susan is mowing the back yard after I did the front yard. I'm finished mowing for the rest of my life. It took a couple of days to recover from the asthma problems associated with mowing! I had the same problem last year at home after returning from our spring journey across the US. That time I nearly ended up in the hospital.
Scott used the time to try out some new toys he doesn't have at home.
This is one of his favorite cousins.
He alternated with his glove on both left and right hands but usually threw the ball with his left hand.
Susan took Scott to an event at the library and nearly froze in the air-conditioning. I rode down with a jacket after finishing up tool sorting for the day. My mother is an early riser and we usually sorted stuff in the basement from about 6:15 to noon.
Scott was a perpetual motion machine outside, making probably a hundred laps back and forth on the brick retaining wall!
The train at the park opened up the first week in June so Scott was there to help them start the season. That's his great-grandma (my mother) seated behind him.
Emporia, Kansas is a city rich in parks. I'd be willing to bet that they have more parks per-capita than 90 percent of the cities in the US. Scott does his best to hit them all every time we come!
When we need internet access we usually end up at either McDonalds or Hardees for their free wifi. Here Scott watches a movie on his tablet while Susan and I work on blogs at Hardees.
When my mother got out her riding mower it had a flat tire that wouldn't hold air. I took the tube out and checked for leaks.
It was torn at the base of the valve stem. this type of damage is usually due to driving it with the tire flat. The tire slips on the rim and tears the rubber around the base of the valve stem.
Our vehicle saga isn't over yet. I replaced the left front wheel bearing assembly because it was making noise. After replacing it it was still making the same noise. So I swapped it with the right front wheel bearing assembly.
After getting the bearing out I noticed it had evidence of rust in the bearings. I hoped that would take care of the noise but it didn't.
We took it out again and I drove it hard. I was going to be sure the bad part was going to be "findable" by the time I stopped. It took us a while (thought we were going to need a tow truck to get back to base!) even then to determine that the noise was coming from the left rear wheel and not from a front wheel. So we bought a new rear bearing assembly and I put it in. When I took the old one out it was obviously bad so I put the new one in and the noise was eliminated. To be fair I found evidence that the right front bearing assembly was going bad when I took it apart too (evidence of rust in the bearings)and the wire for the ABS sensor had rubbed through the insulation and was grounding against the frame. So, in the last three weeks we've had $250 in brakes and $450 in bearings and another $20 for a 36 mm axle nut socket plus $340 in property taxes (6 months) and a $250 penalty from the IRS for a form I didn't get filed on time and a 25 dollar filing fee for an annual report due the state of Montana and about $700 in gasoline for our round trip from MT to KS. Then there was the $400 for my new bicycle! It's been an expensive month! I'm glad they aren't all like that.
Anyway, the Expedition is good to go again and we'll be heading back to Montana soon. But we are taking our time going home and seeing some sights along the way! If the Expedition gives us any more grief I will junk it out and we'll ride bicycles the rest of the way home. Should take us about a month but we have nothing pressing on the schedule anyway.
Scott kind of wore himself out for the day and drifted off to sleep while wearing a shopping bag for a hat.
A toy fire engine at one of the parks.
Our time here is almost over. We'll be back for the auction this fall and bring the U-Haul camper that time so we can stay with the comforts of home before heading south for the winter. It'll be nice to escape the heat and humidity.

One of the things that's rather puzzling is that for all the talk about how technologically advanced the vehicle manufacturers in the U.S. are, there are still some rather significant gaps vis-à-vis the applications of technology. I have long been puzzled why the implementation of lasers in body shops has been so long in coming. Yes, I acknowledge that there is a built-in reticence to try some new things because of the enormous cost of failure, but it is not like (a) lasers are new, untried technology or (b) there aren't applications (e.g., Volvo; Volkswagen) where there are successes. This is one of the cases where there have been some bad experiences in U.S. plants. Those experiences, by and large, were the consequence of doing what is invariably a recipe for failure: When faced with what seems like an insurmountable challenge, apply the nascent high-technology tool. The failure isn't necessarily a consequence of the technology as much as it is with the lack of understanding of how to use it. You don't put a 16-year-old behind the wheel of a Corvette Z06 and not expect a ticket or worse. If the kid does get a ticket, would you simply say: "From now on, it's the bus for you?" Similarly, applying new technology means starting with something other than the extreme case. Deployment, learnings, new deployment, more learnings—that's the way of getting things done the proper way. That takes time, of course, so there is a reluctance to invest it. Another effect is that because there isn't a thorough understanding of the technology, one is unable to take full advantage of what it offers. To stick with the laser example: If it just comes down to a matter of exchanging spot welding guns with a laser, chances are, unless there are some rather unusual circumstances (e.g., an exceeding high cost of floor space so a few laser-robots can replace a multitude of spot welding stations), you might as well save your money. What's necessary is for there to be a change in what is being made, which necessitates there to be an understanding by not only the manufacturing engineers and the process engineers of the capability of the technology, but also of the design engineers and the product engineers. Some people mutter that union workers only do one task. While that is no longer necessarily true, more crippling is that people in other parts of the organization tend to do one thing. I recently spoke with a president of an engineering services firm who has come to automotive from another industry. He said he was completely flabbergasted by the levels of functional redundancy he's discovered in auto. For example, he expects his designers to have a complete understanding of the manufacturing processes related to whatever it is that they design, that they shouldn't hand off their work to someone else who then, in turn, hands it off to someone else . . . I'm guessing that there aren't a whole lot of automotive designers who understand that if a laser is used to assemble a vehicle, there are all manner of things that can be done (e.g., flanges can be greatly reduced; only one-sided access is needed for welds to be effected). So because they don't understand that, there aren't the sorts of changes that could be made with great benefit. So the status remains quo. And that, while not a risk, is potentially more debilitating that taking a big gamble and losing. I am not claiming that the utilization of lasers has the potential to turn red ink into black, but I am saying that the lack of use of lasers is demonstrative of a bigger problem, which is one of making half . . . hearted efforts at making change. The whole issue boils down to this: "We don't think that way." We don't think, often enough, about investing time, energy, efforts, and, yes, money, into something different. We don't think, often enough, about dissolving real or ostensible boundaries that keep us within a functional area. We don't think, often enough, period. Rather, we fight the fires in front of us, or keep our heads down lest being up they get chopped off, or we just go through the motions that managed to get us where we are. But that no longer makes it. No longer makes it now, not at some point in the future.
What got me thinking about all this is the book Wikinomics: How Mass Collaboration Changes Everything by Don Tapscott and Anthony D. Williams. Yes, that's wiki (from the Hawaiian quick) as in Wikipedia. While you might think that the auto industry isn't about encyclopedias or open-source software and consequently Wikinomics would be diversionary, at most, in point of fact the authors describe the economy we live in right now as one wherein those that cast wide a net for collaborators (be they suppliers or customers) will be more successful than those who prefer to work in the way it's always been done, which tends to have hard limits on the collaboration and a restricted sense of the buyer-vendor relationship. The authors write: "Developing new ways to harness talent outside their boundaries remains an important and largely unexplored frontier for the auto industry." Do you think companies that are developing in this arena—whether it be a company like Tesla or Chery—will have the same fundamental restraints? If so, think again.

The River Why
September 6, 2010 Leave a comment Go to comments
For all the folks who liked the fly fishing movie "A River Runs Through It" (I did) there is a new movie coming with a similar fly-fishing theme "A River Why". No clue when the release date is, but I'm sure it's soon. Thanks to Jason Borger for posting on his blog, seems he had the inside scoop since he makes a cameo appearance 39 seconds into the trailer.
Great trailer. Enjoy!

Gibraltar is one of the fourteen British Overseas Territories. Spain has had quite a political tension with the region for more than 3 centuries, but the people of Gibraltar are happy to live under the jurisdiction of the UK. Believe it or not, Gibraltar is very much British. Almost everything about the region is English, including TV, food and newspaper. Although most people speak English language fluently, you will be more comfortable if you know Spanish as well. In fact, if you possess a UK passport, you can just simply buy a ticket, buy a home there, find a job there and start living. If you are looking for more information on how to move to Gibraltar from the UK, this oneHOWTO article will prove to be of your help.
Why Gibraltar
Gibraltar is a 2.5 hours flight distance from London, which means that your time zone does not change when you relocate. It has a predictable and reliable common-law system, which you can enjoy along with an added advantage of a Mediterranean lifestyle. Financial services, tourism, port and shipping are some of the major industries that build the peninsula's economy. Located right at the entrance of the Mediterranean, Gibraltar has a legal system of its own, based on the rules and models of the British. Gibraltar has the liberty to make its own tax rules, which is a major reason why many professionals and businessmen are planning to move to Gibraltar from the UK. There are no wealth taxes, capital gain taxes, inheritance taxes or taxes on pension or dividends. These entire advantages combine together to make Gibraltar a common destination to move from the UK.
Now you're convinced, take a look at your step by step move:
- Find a job: Contracts are very similar to those in the UK, so you won't have any problems understanding paperwork. If you are in IT, legal careers or in the service sector, you won't have much of a problem finding a job. They will only ask you to be fluent in English and to attend the job interview in person.
- Find a place to live: We advise you to find a place to live within Gibraltar to avoid queues at the border every day if you go to work by car, though flats are starting to grow in price. It is even more recommendable now that 'Brexit' is going to be effective as there will probably be more restrictions when crossing the border, even when crossing on foot. However, the prices can half in the neighboring coast of "La Linea de la Concepción".
- Move in: Though it is best if you move into a house that is already furnished, you might want to move your personal belongings or most treasured pieces of furniture. We advise you to ship them over rather than driving them down from the UK. It will be a huge hassle.
Certain tips to make your move easier
If you are planning to move to Gibraltar from the UK, here are a few tips that will make things easier for you:
- Although Gibraltar is British and their educational and official language is English, a considerable amount of population here speaks Spanish. Some even speak Llanito, which is a mixture of Spanish and English. So, if you are planning to make a move, try to get some grasp of Spanish as well.
- Gibraltar is a small territory with area covering only 2.6 square miles, and The Rock covers a big portion of the available land. In such a cramped space, it has a population of more than 30,000 people. Owing to these numbers, it becomes one of the most densely populated areas of the world. So, if you are used to living in a spacious environment with peace and silence, then Gibraltar is perhaps not the right place for you. With such a dense population, you are sure to find crowds of people wherever you go.
- If you own a car, try to sell if off before making your move. Gibraltar is a small peninsula which you can entirely cover on foot or on bike. Even if you are planning to cross the borders often, doing that by car will be too slow and hectic. A delay of a few hours is common. People blame the police for causing these delays just to annoy the British. Whether this is true or not, the best way to get through is on foot. So, if you are moving to Gibraltar, don't take your car with you, as importing it will result in too much of an unnecessary expense.
- Most importantly, beware while buying tickets to cross the borders. If you are crossing it for the first time, you may be scammed by official looking, unauthorized fraudsters to buy these tickets. So, beware of them.
The final word
Despite the many issues the UK and Spain have about Gibraltar, it is a marvelous place to live in. There are several economical advantages of moving to Gibraltar from the UK as well. So, just grab your tickets and make the move. You will be glad to take such a nice decision for your own benefit.

Travel date: November 2014
INDIA: Encounters in Rural Orissa
by Jim Johnston (firstname.lastname@example.com)
The Rajah of Panchkote's tiger-hunting lodge has seen better days. But as his great grandson Debjit Singh Deo relates the story of the family estate, the opulence of that bygone era springs to life.
"Our family palace in West Bengal had the largest chandelier in Asia at the time--it took three elephants to hoist it into place. There was a customized Rolls Royce, several houses by the sea, and this," he says with a sweep of his hand. "Once the largest private game reserve in the whole state of Orissa."
The lodge, built in the 1930's and known as Kila Dalijoda (Fort in the Forest), was the family's summer home, an escape from the stifling heat of West Bengal. Back then, the rajah traveled with more than fifty servants at his command, including cooks, priests, doctors, musicians and dancing girls, flower arrangers, masseurs, car mechanics, a technician to maintain his collection of clocks, a specialist to prepare his hookah, and of course, someone to skin the tigers. The queen and her entourage had their own staff.
"Our ancestry goes back to 81 A.D.," Debjit states proudly. "But after Independence, the family's fortune declined."
Coal mines, the rajah's main source of wealth, were nationalized, and land was expropriated for an elephant sanctuary (the tigers had been hunted to near extinction), reducing the family holdings from 11,000 acres to 80. The Rolls Royce and the chandelier were auctioned off. Most of the land is now devoted to rice paddies, cultivated by local villagers, who pay a small tax to the estate.
The house was abandoned for more than thirty years when Debjit arrived in 2005 with his new bride Namrata. "There were trees growing on the roof," she recalls, laughing. "And roots were dangling down into the dining room." Rats, bats, pigeons and lizards inhabited the upper floors, and the ground floor was taken over by the local land revenue office--it's still there.
"In a way it was a blessing that the tax men came," Debjit explains. "Otherwise the whole house would have been taken away, stone by stone--anything portable was carted off by the villagers long ago."
The house, made of local volcanic stone, was designed in the somber European style fashionable at the time, with none of the ornate Mughal details often associated with India. Debjit and Namrata made part of the upstairs into an apartment for themselves and their 6-year old daughter, decorating it with period furniture. Two guest rooms are simply furnished with antique beds and old photographs. What looks like a fireplace is actually an old safe, where the raja stashed his jewels.
"We aim to keep the estate self-sustaining, as it was in the old days," Debjit states proudly. All of the gas for cooking comes from methane, produced in a simple cistern utilizing cow manure. The cows also provide milk, cheese and yogurt, made fresh daily. Most of the vegetables and rice are grown within view of the kitchen.
Rooms are cooled in summer by thick curtains fashioned from aromatic twigs of the khus tree. Through a network of small tubes, water drips down the curtains, cooling and scenting the air as it passes through.
Although Namrata claims not to be a great cook, the food she serves from her simple kitchen is superb. "We eat mostly vegetarian," she explains, "and occasionally lamb and quail." Chicken is not permitted in the house because the property is dedicated to the Hindu deity Bagalamata, in whose presence chickens are not allowed. "We can eat chicken outside of the house if we want, but never inside."
Debjit is keen to show the traditional life of rural Orissa, so after touring the estate we head off to some surrounding tribal villages. As we walk down the lane away from his house, something incredible occurs. Gone is the familiar cacophony of India. As far as one can see in either direction there is neither a vehicle nor a person, not a sound to be heard except the chirping of a few birds.
Orissa, one of the poorest states in India, is home to many indigenous tribes, each with its own customs, languages and religious beliefs (most are animists who worship nature). We visit the village of Kuchila Nuagon, inhabited by the Munda tribe. A scraggly tulsi tree, sacred to the Munda, guards the entrance of the compound. The mud-brick houses have thatched roofs and walls painted with geometric and floral designs. Floors are recovered weekly with a thin layer of fine mud that is burnished to a smooth, clean surface. With the exception of a few plastic buckets, almost every object in sight is hand made. Most villagers are off in the fields, but a few are busy husking rice or collecting firewood to sell in the weekly market. A team of oxen yoked to an old millstone grinds wheat.
We visit the local goshala, a combination orphanage/old age home for cows. Young cows from families too poor to feed them, or old bulls beyond breeding age, are sent here. The place is luxurious by village standards, and spotlessly clean.
The remote Sabar tribe village of Banjhiama is an hour's walk through the jungle foothills of an elephant reserve. Debjit had mentioned recent rampages that destroyed some local rice paddies, so the occasional elephant droppings cause a bit of alarm. What would happen if one showed up? "Don't worry, he says reassuringly, "They only come out at night."
As we emerge from the forest, a serene view of rice paddies appears before us. A few women are harvesting rice, the thatched roofs of their village visible in the distance. Suddenly one woman starts screaming, racing to the edge of the paddy, waving her arms frantically. "Monkeys," Debjit explains. "They're a real nuisance here. They just tear up the rice plants, and don't even eat them."
A few dusty children and an old woman crouching on the ground, her black wrinkled skin gleaming in the sunlight, greet us as we enter the village. Seeing Debjit her face lights up in a broad smile, exposing a mouthful of teeth stained red from chewing betel nuts.
"Her husband was a guide for my grandfather when he came to hunt tigers. I represent the family to them. Nobody else from the outside world comes here. There is no medical care, no help from the government. So they consider my presence a great honor."
With Debjit as interpreter, I ask how old she is; she has no idea. "When will you come back to visit us?" she asks. "Next year," I answer hopefully. "I'll probably be dead by then," she says with a big grin.
On the way home, we pass a simple roadside hut selling vegetables and paan, a pungent mixture of spices wrapped in a leaf, used by locals much like chewing tobacco. A few men greet us in a surprisingly friendly manner, and offer a taste of rassi, the local liquor made from rice. "An Australian woman who was here recently insisted on trying it and was sick for days," Debjit warns. "It's a real problem with the local men. It's one of their few entertainments, but it wrecks their bodies and causes all kinds of problems at home with their wives."
Another day we visit the Alekh Mahima Dharma temple in the town of Joranda to witness a fire ceremony. Founded in 1876 by Mahima Gosain, this monotheistic sect attracts followers from poorer classes of society, and is particularly strong in tribal areas of Orissa. Sadhus, holy men who renounce worldly goods (including most of their clothing), oversee the temple complex and tend the eternal flame, which has been maintained for nearly 150 years. Unusual for India, no idols are found in the Mahima temple, as they believe there is no possible visual representation of God.
In spite of their otherworldly looks, the sadhus turned out to be a funny bunch of guys, eager to have their picture taken, showing off their long hair, smiling and laughing amongst themselves and with us, clearly expressing their teachings, which stress peace and brotherly love.
During the final meal with the Deo family, the couple tells of their arranged marriage. "We can only marry within the royal Rajput lineage, and astrology is very important," Namrata explains as she serves steaming, hand rolled chapati. "I had a very unusual chart, so it took a long time to find someone like Debjit. I tell people he's one in a million. "
According to one popular guidebook, the state of Orissa receives only about 1000 western visitors each year. Aside from the temple at Konark, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, it lacks high profile tourist destinations. The real treasures here are memories of the people encountered in this remote corner of Orissa.
To arrange to stay at Kila Dalijoda, contact Debjit by email at email@example.com

MILK & HONEY CHANGED PERCEPTIONS in the bar world. Here was a bar that was painstaking in its devotion to refinement. It made dim lighting a talking point and secreted its achievements away from a New York limelight that often exposes the frailties in other bars.
The New York site became an institution and, since flattery is often borne out through imitation, many bar owners around the world politely purloined from the Milk & Honey concept.
Perhaps that's why, in the end, the bar benefited from a facelift. When owner Sasha Petraske moved his concept on to pastures new, it surprised some, but sometimes it makes perfect sense to take stock and move on. When that happened though, his former employees, Michael McIlroy and Sam Ross, decided to stay.
Maybe they had squatters' rights, but more likely they simply recognised the affection existing customers had for the site and saw the opportunity to keep running the space as a bar with a few changes.
The result is Attaboy, a venue that remains faithful to the bar that went before it, but one that brings a few changes. Brighter and more relaxed, this is not quite a reinterpretation of Milk & Honey, but it retains the values that made its predecessor so globally renowned, not least in the drinks.
The quality classics and creative interpretations Ross and McIlroy were making before they took over remain a firm fixture.
Elsewhere the changes are subtle but effective. The M&H rule about chatting up people at the bar doesn't seem overly obvious any more, which is no bad thing since many people go to the bar to do exactly that. But common courtesy remains de rigueur.
The décor, meanwhile, raises a few question marks about that dim lighting - while it is still far from glaring, the dimmer switch has been turned up a notch and the new glow is accompanied by some fresher tunes. Ultimately it's the same vibe, but different.
The bar still doesn't exactly shout about its location, but the exposure of a window, once hidden behind curtains and regarded a dangerous portal for external recognition, sheds a new light into this bar. Rather than expose frailties, it now shines a spotlight on one of the best bars in the world.

Post office axe has hit 10 counties since 2012
POST offices have been earmarked for closure in 10 different counties since late 2012, the Irish Independent has learned.
An Post management signed off on the closures of nine post offices, while a further six are still in real danger of being axed.
The true scale of the threat posed to the future of the post office network is illustrated by the number of offices that underwent a consultation process involving company management.
Offices in Cork, Dublin, Donegal, Wexford, Kildare, Monaghan and Laois have all been shut, while a number of others have been given temporary contracts to remain open.
Post offices based in Greencastle and Bunbeg in Donegal have been granted short-term reprieves but still face the risk of being closed.
Fresh concern has now been raised this week for three post offices facing closure, in Cratloe Co Clare, as well as Cappataggle and Barnaberg in Co Galway.
Residents and business people in Galway are seeking an urgent meeting with TDs; while in Cratloe, a number of public meetings have taken place.
An Post officials are due to make a decision on the future of the offices shortly, with sources admitting that both are facing a battle to remain open.
Postmasters now intend to heap pressure on new Communications Minister Alex White.
The closures have taken place in Santry in Dublin, Farran in Cork, Duncormick in Wexford and Ballinacolla in Laois.
Others have also closed in Kilmeague and Tierworker in Kildare, as well as Gleneely in Donegal, Ballyheelan in Cavan, and Ballinode in Monaghan.
Postmasters are particularly concerned about the impact of large supermarkets entering the post office market.
The Irish Independent previously revealed that Ireland's second largest wholesale network is planning to provide postal services.
An Post has insisted that it is committed to the future of the network but has said it must diversify in order to compete.

Times of India, New Delhi, 25 Mar, 2015
The fund was created from the penalties collected from corporates for not meeting the mandatory compensatory afforestation drives.
"We want to pass on Rs 33,000 crore or 90 per cent of the compensatory afforestation management fund worth Rs 36,000 crore directly to the states to boost the environment activities across the country," the Union minister of state for environment, forests and climate change said during an Indian Merchants' Chamber (IMC) event here late this evening.
The minister, however, said that for the funds to be directly transferred to the state, the Forests Act has to be amended. The Centre is also planning to bring in a new set of regulations by amending the existing ones.
"We are planning to introduce the new set of laws and regulations during the second part of the ongoing Budget session. The idea is to ensure concrete action for greening the forests in degraded forest land," Javadekar told PTI on the sidelines of the event.
The minister outlined the blueprint on policy measures by his ministry and the government while addressing the gathering earlier.
Stressing optimum use of advancing technology, he said, "We want to incorporate latest technology to change environment protection via focused regulatory mechanism through three pertinent measures namely, round the clock pollution monitoring of 3,026 industrial units in the seven most polluting sectors; leveraging satellite technology to monitor projects, and finally GPS-based management monitoring and compliance regime to ensure implementation."
Talking about the initiatives being undertaken by the government towards maintaining a balance between development and ecology, he said, "We are in mission mode, not commission mode. With our clean water, clean air, clean energy mission, we are determined to change and allow growth on one hand and protect the environment on the other."
"We will be going to the upcoming Paris Agreement on climate change in December with a positive agenda with a view to increasing the energy efficiency by 20-25 per cent in all sectors," he added.

My business partner, Maria Alemany, and I just listed a cute house in El Golfo de Santa Clara, and the El Capitan Restaurant, Bar and RV park also in El Golfo de Santa Clara. The house is about 6 blocks from the beach and the restaurant El Capitan is beach front. Since the only real estate agent in town retired, she has graciously given us her home to list and the El Capitan that is owned by her friend Teresa. See Teresa's interview at the link below. See the home link below.
El Golfo de Santa Clara holds many memories for many people, and many memories are continuing to be made now, since El Golfo is a huge attraction for its sandy pristine beaches, weekend getaways and camping, there are several nice hotels here too. It is Yuma's beach, about a 2 hr drive, and even shorter drive for those coming from San Luis and Mexicali. This is where the 4 wheelers and dune buggies go, very popular for Mexicans and Americans to bring their ATV's, they have races, there are many youtube videos about it. This one is good: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p9d5H78sdQo
Tom and Sandy O'Hare the publishers of the Rocky Point Times always wrote about the "El Golfo Run" every year. Glen Martinez, a Puerto Penasco and Arizona Realtor also is a huge fan of El Golfo, he and his family have been going there for 40 years, way before electricity and paved roads he tells me!
Many people stop there and don't go any further to Rocky Point. Jacques Cousteau's Calypso's team went there to study and record the Vaquita (looks like a dolphin), Sean Penn's movie "Into the Wild" was filmed there, Teresa the owner of El Capitan has a photo of Sean Penn up on her "celebrity wall": http://www.imdb.com/search/title?locations=El%20Golfo%20de%20Santa%20Clara%2C%20Sonora%2C%20Mexico&ref_=ttloc_loc_1
The movie "Borderline" was also filmed there.
There is also beachfront land listing in the MLS and I have access to that information for anyone that is interested.
It is on the route of the new coastal highway that was completed a couple of years ago, in fact the road construction was held up in 2008, I remember I was in my office when my friend, Liane Armstrong wrote up a rental contract for some archeologists staying in Rocky Point, there were many archeologists that were on the dig, once the government and diggers were satisfied then they could complete the road construction. There are still digs going on today.
