Scrutiny of a farm town's water divides residents
From LA Times
On a chilly day in March, a U.N. human rights lawyer came to this tiny farm town to investigate unsafe drinking water — part of a world tour that also included Bangladesh and Namibia.
Advocates who had long been trying to call attention to Central California's increasingly tainted groundwater were elated. Ruben Tavarez, a school board member, was miffed.
"It makes it sound like Seville is a Third World country!" he said.

Tuesday March 10 is a Full Moon, Venus goddess of Love and Money, is in a holding pattern.
There' s lots going on and it will be a good time meditate if you can see it.
There's storms tearing up power lines, rain foretasted and thunder storms.
To a western astrologer this is a moon in Vergo, but to the vedic it is Leo.
with all this stuff going on I'm beginning to think Vedic makes more sense
as Fixed signs cause more problems. I know from a holistic seed planter friend of mine the best time to plant by the moon is the sideral zodiac or the same the Vedic astrologers use such as
Joni Patry. Here' s a bit of info she put out about the Month of March.
I see my friend Meso Fine has more details of the coming days of March.
May be March will go out like a Lamb as it sure has come in like a Lion.
Do view the beautiful Venus in the night sky , and some meditation on here over the next few weeks may be beneficial - I'll let you know what I discover.
Here's Joni:
This is the month to expect enormous shifts and changes. It will be a very explosive and difficult time. Mars nears the opposition to Saturn and Mars crosses Neptune approaching Uranus. I have never seen a month with such an array of extreme aspects. The exact opposition of Mars oppose Saturn is April 4th and April 15th Mars will conjunct Uranus. So April will be just as eventful! But this month of March will begin the shake ups that make this year of 2009 transformational.
The New Moon chart for this month is the chart to be used for making world predictions for the entire year of the time frame from March of 2009 to March of 2010. In India a chart is drawn up on the day of the New Moon in Pisces. The longitude and latitude for each country or city to be looked at is used to make predictions for that particular place.
This is an extremely eventful and extreme chart. The world will never be the same after this month. There could be assassination attempts and riots that create a world of social unrest and calamity. more...

A lot of todays "experts" say Teakettles date from the 1870's to 1890's.
I have put together a number of inkwell posts this past year and have had one specific post on Teakettle Inkwells in a draft mode waiting for material to complete. I also wanted to visit two major Teakettle collections and have not had the chance. An email from Joe Matthews (see below) prompted this post now, as there is some good new information moving the date up to the 1830's on these specific inkwells.
Lucy Faulkner and I have worked together on researching teakettle inks. It has been definitely confirmed that Teakettle inks are some of the oldest inks and definitely date to the 1830's. Your readers might be interested in seeing beautiful teakettles posted on their web site and the London newspaper ad of 1835 with the proof. "Teakettles demand age respect". Not the 1870 to 1895 dates most auction houses declare as the age.
Regards Joe
PS: Thanks for what you do in keeping collectors informed.
Ed and Lucy Faulkner have the following description on their web site (visit Antique Bottles & Inks) for Teakettle inks under the picture at the top of this post.
Teakettle inkwells can be found in many beautiful colors and shapes, as well as clear, ceramic and pottery. Embossed glass ones are rare. Some of the pottery will have an advertising name on them. Occasionally one can be found with the English ink company name on a brass top fitted to the bottle. The embossed American one we see most often, is the aqua one with pen ledges and a patent date. Also pictured in this group is an aqua Butler's ink, which is considered hard to find. The barrel inks are thought to be American, whereas the others are of unknown maker for the most part. The figural ones such as snail, turtle, etc. are thought to be European. The problem with identifying the maker is that without embossing of any kind, the only way to know would be pictures from a glassmaker's catalog. I haven't seen any pictured in a catalog.
The only old picture I have seen is a ladies fashion plate picture dated 1839 in William Covill's ink book.
Dates are unknown with a lot of disagreement. The ladies' fashion picture in Covill's book is from 1839 and shows a teakettle ink. A lot of todays "experts" say Teakettles date from the 1870's to 1890's. My thought is earlier because of Covill's picture.
It looks like this design was made for at least 50 or more years from early 1830's until 1885 or so
UPDATE: An avid teakettle collector, Joe Mathews, saw this post and sent me confirming information that teakettle inks were indeed made as early as the 1830's in England by S. Mordan & Co. There are a number of ads by this company promoting the newly designed inkstand called the Fountain Inkstand. One from 1835 shows a picture and it is clearly what we call a teakettle. So with this new information, it looks like this design was made for at least 50 or more years from early 1830's until 1885 or so. The ad is pictured below. No doubt other companies used similar inkstands, but this is the only ad I have found so far, other than in Covill's book. This is from a publication printed in 1835 London.
[Wikipedia] Sampson Mordan (1790 – 9 Apr 1843) was a British silversmith and a co-inventor of the first patented mechanical pencil. During his youth, he was an apprentice of the inventor and locksmith Joseph Bramah, who patented the first elastic ink reservoir for a fountain pen.
In 1822, Mordan and his co-inventor John Isaac Hawkins filed the first patent in Great Britain for a metal pencil with an internal mechanism for propelling the graphite "lead" shaft forward during use, as an improvement on the less complex leadholders that merely clutched the pencil lead to hold it into a single position.
Mordan bought out Hawkins and entered into a business partnership with Gabriel Riddle, an established stationer. From 1823 to 1837, they manufactured and sold silver mechanical pencils with the marking "SMGR". After the partnership with Riddle dissolved, Mordan continued to sell his silver pencils as "S. Mordan & Co.", adding many other types of silver and gold items to his product line. Mordan often made his pencils in whimsical "figural" shapes that resembled animals, Egyptian mummies, or other objects; like his other silverware and goldware, these pencils are now highly collectible. Upon Mordan's death in 1843, his sons Sampson (junior) and Augustus inherited the firm. "S. Mordan & Co." continued to make silverware until 1941, when their factory was destroyed by bombs during the London Blitz.

Here's what I made myself for Mother's Day Breakfast…it was cold out and no one was home and I had a hankering for something sweet to go with some "Devil's Kiss" coffee from Hypno Coffee. So I made this biscuit recipe (below) and rolled it out and spread some butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon on it; rolled it up and sliced it into rounds, then baked it. I made a simple icing with butter melted, some confectioners sugar and a little milk. Very satisfying!!! The simple little joys of celebration!
Buttermilk Biscuits (from White Grass Flavor Cookbook)
We use this recipe for ham biscuits, a favorite hors d'ouevre for catering events. They're also good for breakfast or with soup.
2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
2 tsp. salt
4 tsp. baking powder
2 tsp. sugar
1 tsp. soda
10 Tbs. butter, at room temperature
1 1/3-1 ½ cups buttermilk
Preheat oven to 400%.
Place flour, salt, baking powder, sugar, and soda into a large mixing bowl. Blend ingredients together. Cut in butter with 2 dull knives or a pastry cutter until the butter is reduced to about the size of peas. Use your hands to press butter lumps out of flour. Make a well in the flour mixture and pour in 1 1/3 cup of buttermilk. Stir with a fork adding more buttermilk if dry or more flour if too wet.
Form into a ball with your hands, so that it is not sticky. Knead dough a few times on a floured surface. Roll to about ½ inch thickness. Cut biscuits into round shapes with a biscuit cutter or a glass. Place on baking sheet about ½ inch apart and bake immediately for 10-15 minutes or until they start to brown. Remove from the oven and cool. Makes 1 dozen large biscuits and about 2 dozen small ones. Store in plastic bags. This recipe doubles well.

Pasta salads fall into that category of dishes that don't follow rigid recipes.
You can substitute ingredients to your heart's content and you'll still end up with something decent, if not delicious.
However, this pasta salad in particular produced such good results with the ingredients I used that I wouldn't change a thing. The creaminess of the beans, the acidity of the vinegar, the meatiness of the olives - it all came together wonderfully.
The best thing about this salad (other than how easy it is to make) is how well it keeps. I enjoyed this as a leftover the next day and it actually tasted better than it did at first.
1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
1 pound cherry tomatoes, halved
1 lb fusilli pasta
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
4 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
1 garlic clove, minced
1 15-ounce can cannellini (white kidney beans), rinsed, drained
1/4 cup chopped red onion
1/4 cup chopped pitted kalamata olives
1. Cook fusilli pasta in large saucepan of boiling salted water until tender but still firm to bite, stirring occasionally. Drain well. Transfer pasta to large bowl; cool.
2. Mix in tomatoes, vinegar, basil, garlic, beans, onion, olives, and oil. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer salad to large platter.

Smartphones: The next generation
Smartphones are a new generation of phones that are more like little computers.
They can run software applications -- 'apps' -- that can do all kinds of cool stuff from tuning your guitar to navigating a ship through the Suez Canal.
Smartphone owners spend more time surfing the net and downloading than they would with a standard phone.
Data usage limits are critical when picking a phone tariff -- or you will end up seriously out of pocket -- like one user who racked up a €400 bill for using their phone as a satnav on holidays.
Vodafone and O2 offer a 2GB per month data allowance on bill pay, while Meteor gives you 1-5GB depending on your plan. Pre-pay tariffs are 99c for a daily 50MB allowance with most operators.
A music track takes up 1.3MB while a website is just 25KB, so these limits should be enough for most people, Consumer Choice magazine advises.
However, it warns that "there have been a number of well-publicised cases of users being saddled with shockingly high bills caused by unknowingly exceeding limits."
One German woman got hit with a €46,000 bill for downloading one episode of her favourite TV programme while on holiday in France!
EU rules on roaming charges only included data usage since July last year when the fee was capped at €1 (ex VAT) per megabyte. The latest rule requires operators to cut a customer's mobile connection when their data roaming bill reaches €50 in a single month.

I used to write a popular magazine column about nothing. It was just my musings of life and items that caught the general interests of my readers. One of it's best features was a section I called "Dumb Crooks." That section drew the most mail from all over the world. Seems people just love to hear and share true stories that are funny and hard to believe.
There was a story about a man who, without a mask or any disguise, robbed two banks. When quickly apprehended, he was incredulous as to how the police recognized him. He was under the belief that if he rubbed his face with lemon juice, it would make him invisible to surveillance cameras. It didn't.
Dumb crooks most often don't know they are dumb. But then, many times, neither do some of us. That condition--being not as smart as we think we are--is known scientifically as the Dunning-Kruger effect.
As Wikipedia simplifies it, "The Dunning-Kruger effect is a cognitive bias in which low-ability individuals suffer from illusory superiority, mistakenly assessing their ability as much higher that it
The pattern of over-estimating (or underestimating) competence was seen in diverse skills such as reading comprehension, practicing medicine, strategic game playing and driving. In comprehensive tests with undergraduate students in psychology courses at Cornell University, Dunning and Kruger examined student self-assessment of logical reasoning skills, grammatical skills, and humor. After being shown their test scores, the students were asked to estimate their own rank in class. Most noted was that students who were about to get Ds and Fs thought they had turned in B or better work.
"Across four studies," the authors found that "participants scoring in the bottom quartile on tests of humor, grammar, and logic grossly overestimated their test performances and ability. Although test scores put them in the 12th percentile, they estimated themselves to be in the 62nd."
Also learned: students of high ability tended to underestimate their relative competence. Participants who found tasks to be easy, erroneously presumed that the tasks also must be easy for others thus assuming others were as competent, if not more competent, than themselves.
The conclusion: The smartest don't give themselves higher marks. The less learned don't know that they are and make statements they regard as just as profound. Belief of the listeners is whatever it is by who is listening.
Best news though, a follow-up study suggests that grossly incompetent students improved their ability to estimate their rank after minimal tutoring in the skills they had previously lacked, regardless of the improvement gained in skills.
See, education is always good.
Isn't it sad that in the United States, we chose to prioritize more dollars to punish and incarcerate criminals, build walls and prioritize the wants of our congressmen who spend to get reelected than to educate youth at every level under all circumstances for the enrichment of our future.
NOTE: There are other writings such as THE STORY OF STUPIDITY: A History of Western Idiocy from the Days of Greece to the Moment You Saw this Book, by James F. Welles, Ph.D. that are interesting and/or fun to read as we learn why we are often so gullible, but that's today when all of us seem to be living in a stupider world and believing in most things we see in social media and hear elsewhere.
Special Bonus section:
Dumb Crooks from my past
In Chicago, a man brandished a gun as he held up a store. As he pulled the magazine out of his gun to show the store manager it was loaded, the gun discharged, shooting the crook's finger completely off. The gunman regaining his composure, fled with a television set and five bucks
Police used the finger to get a print that helped find and convict the robber.
Of all the great dumb crook stories, the strangest is of Yugoslavian Siamese twins Ennio and Mario Borovac. The 35-year-old brothers were joined at the stomach and chest and shared vital organs. Unfortunately, they also shared breathing space, and Mario had bad breath.
Ennio tried and tried to tell Mario to do something about his breath, but Mario simply wouldn't brush his teeth! Mario finally got tired of the lectures and slapped Ennio in the face. Ennio plotted his revenge. He got a gun and shot his brother. Twenty minutes later, Ennio bled to death.
The police belatedly charged Ennio with first-degree murder–although shooting his brother was technically a suicide.
In a bumbling rampage that covered three square miles of southwest Houston, Texas, and lasted only an hour, a crook later nicknamed "Lucky," robbed a McDonald's, ran to a nearby auto parts store and took a hostage, shot at a police officer, released the hostage and grabbed a second hostage with a car, forced the him to drive to a condominium complex, kicked open a door, got into a gunfight with one resident, tried to steal another car but couldn't get past the complex's electronic security gate, ran to a nearby Dairy Queen, tried to commandeer a meat truck, was beaten and disarmed by the truck driver, escaped by running into a residential area and began jumping fences, landed in one backyard where he was attacked by a terrier, jumped another fence and landed in a yard where he was attacked by a pair of German shepherds, managed to get away from the German shepherds but was taken into custody by police and charged with six felonies.
Still think you're having a bad day?
One dumb crook is the good driver who was leading police on a high-speed chase through suburbia. Skillfully, the police stayed on his tail despite the crook's twists and turns and daring evasive action.
How were police able to stay with him? Good driving? Luck? Maybe a combination of both— and the fact that the escapee, like every good driver, properly used his turning signals for each and every 100-mph turn.
An East Coast burglar loves shiny shoes. Sometimes he polishes his shoes two or three times a day. He was convicted after evidence showed he paused during a burglary long enough to shine his shoes, leaving his can of shoe polish and a personalized rag behind.
When asked by his public defender, "You almost have a fetish about your shoes don't you?" the man answered, "Yes, I do."
If the shoe fits…
A prisoner spent two days "highlighting" his body (private parts and all) with yellow marker pens in an attempt to convince his warden that he had a severe case of jaundice. He wanted a transfer to a hospital where he could escape more easily.
He almost got away with it until one night a guard caught him coloring his face.
A man who robbed a liquor store with a shotgun told the clerk to give him the bottle of scotch he saw on the back counter. The clerk refused because he didn't believe the crook was 21. The robber quickly whipped out his driver's license to prove the fact. The clerk, satisfied, put the scotch in a bag, and the robber left happy–until the police showed up at the address listed on the driver's license and arrested him.
A Filipino man must have learned his crime skills by watching Wyle E. Coyote. On a flight to Manila, he donned a ski mask and swimming goggles, then pulled a gun and a hand grenade announcing he was hijacking the plane. When the pilot convinced him that the plane was low on fuel, the hijacker decided to simply rob the passengers. With $15,000 in loot, he ordered the pilot to lower the plane to 6,500 feet. He strapped on a homemade parachute and told the attendant to open the door. The hijacker had trouble getting through the door with his parachute on, so the attendant helped by pushing him out. Before leaping, he had pulled the grenade's pin and mistakenly tossed it back into the plane. Clutching the live grenade to his chest, he blissfully sailed back to earth. Well, almost back, that is.

Bhangarh - The most haunted place on this Earth. Internet is flooded with the stories and legends about Bhangarh, which are too interesting to resist.
I got too much tempted to see this place. All the stories about this place has motivated me to the extent that I was expecting to shake hands with the "Ghosts of Bhangarh" and being a history lover, I was looking forward to pull the curtains from the "Mystery of Bhangarh".
One fine Saturday, we started our adventure at 7:00AM from Delhi to Bhangarh. If it was the indication of the things to come, one of my friends who has confirmed to be a part of Ghost Hunting trip, changed his mind at the last moment, that is only 15 minutes before. Well this didn't dampened our spirits. Unfazed and Undaunted, we continued our voyage with high spirits.
Though the route was unfamiliar, but as I always say "Good Travellers never plan in advance". We had escaped the traffic of Delhi and were enjoying the cruising on NH-8.
We thoroughly took pleasure driving through Gurgaon - Manesar - Dharuhera - Neemrana - Kotpootli - Shahpura (left turn from Alwar crossing T-point, 190 km.) - Viratnagar (215 Km.) - Thanagaji (225 Km.) - Ajabgarh (265 Km.).
The journey is spellbinding and enriching. The road to Bhangarh takes you from the swanky malls and residential complexes in Delhi/ Gurgaon to the deep interiors of India, where village people still have to travel kilometres to ferry drinking water. Highway is in good shape and we were enjoying the fresh airs.
Left turn from Shahpura took us into the dominion of Aravallis mountains. Sailing through the gorges and mountainous roads, we celebrating the drive of our lives. Steep incline and acute descents will enough to keep us strike a delicate balance between thrill and caution.
There are no Petrol Pumps after Thanagaji till Bhangarh, so drivers please ensure you do not run out of gasoline. Road after Thanagaji is pretty narrow. However the Rocky Terrain, mountains, Red Sands and colorful heritage of Rajasthan will set your spirits and enthusiasm rolling for the adventure ahead.
Road to Bhangarh is fairly straight, but it is better to ask the locales whenever in doubt. Locales are very friendly and are always willing to go an extra yard to help the visitors. 30 Km. of entertaining drive took us to Ajabgarh. Ajabgarh shares the same time frame in history as of Bhangarh. There are a number of houses at Ajabgarh, which were were built centuries ago, most of them are deserted now.
These houses look scary at daytime. There is also a fort on the hills which is deserted and in very bad condition. I am sure at night deserted houses and the submerged fort can give heart attacks to even most of the Lion hearts.Even this was not enough to stop our charge. We were scared for a moment seeing high flow rate, but "Darr ke aagey Jeet hai".
Another 10 Km. separated us from the legendary. In the way we, we had to cross a road overflowing with water. Check out:
Another 10 Km. separated us from the legendary. In the way we, we had to cross a road overflowing with water. Check out:
It took us 274 Km. and around 7 hours of adventure filled travel time to reach the fantasyland.
That's the entrance, no doubt hospitality has been defined by India:
That's the entrance, no doubt hospitality has been defined by India:
As soon as we set out foot in the Bhangarh site, we started looking out for the highly acclaimed Blue board by ASI, which strictly prohibits entry to Bhangarh after Sunset and before Sunrise. Finally we were at the legendary sign board. The entry to the site is prohibited after 6:00 PM.
There are a few stories behind the present state of this fort, however the elderlies in this area agree to the curse by a magician who had developed a liking for royal princess.
Once servant of the princess was buying oil in the market, the magician saw this and put a charm on the oil. However princess was also a magician, came to know this and decoded the charm and threw the bottle on a nearby mountain. The oil bottle got transformed into a rock and killed the magician with its impact on his head. Magician before dying put a curse that everyone in this kingdom will die in a night and their souls will never leave this place. It is believed that all souls come down into the fort area at night. It is natural human psychology to associate ourselves with the history, no doubt even blowing winds looks like work of the ghosts.
There are no Ghostly appearing structures, but a magnificent Palace called as "Bhangarh Fort". The remains are informative enough to take you on to a mesmerizing journey, down the memory lane. If we go back in the history lane, we will find that entrance to all the major cities in India started with the market. Same trend has been followed in Bhangarh too, one if felicitated by beautifully placed shops on both sides of the walking street. I am also trying to explore the charisma of those times and how they would have marketed from the shops.

I am also trying to explore the charisma of those times and how they would have marketed from the shops.
The Bhangarh fort has been constructed in a way that it is surrounded by hills on 3 sides. What a marvellous exhibition of architectural acumen. Hats off to all The Engineers, Architects and Project Management guys of that time.This construction expertise displayed in those times, I am sure will be very difficult to replicate even in today's world.
The Gopinath Mandir (temple) stands tall in the center on Fort premises. Looks like it is still holding its fort bravely or guarding the place amidst the ruins. However in reality temple looks lonely and sad at heart by seeing its friends (Fort, palace, markets and gardens) slowly dying and drifting away. The temple must have committed to the architect that whatsoever happens, I will not leave this place. Looks like it is still keeping its words of staying till the end. Don't feel yourself desolated, I will keep on coming back to give you company.
It is our duty to preserve this grand heritage and memories of our ancestors intact and in its full glory.
After temple we decided to go upstairs and take an aerial view of this place. Each step on the stairs was taking us close the glorious past of this place, and the rich history of our great country. Beauty and magnificence has been spread all over this place. Well crafted palaces, artistically placed gardens. Check out yourself:
To summarize Bhangarh -550 Km. and 15 hours drive in a day, someone has rightly said "Moments makes live a worthwhile". That's our moment....on the top of the fort, it can't get better...Standing on the terrace of the Palace the vast expanse of the fort looks like INVINCIBLE. It has four gates - Lahori Gate, Ajmeri Gate, Phulbari Gate and Delhi Gate. However now it looks that life has come to a standstill in this area.
Bhangarh is a beautiful place and the drive is equally enriching. So guys take out a day off from your hectic schedules and get set go on a stimulating trip to Bhangarh. Sit there and try to unravel some of the mysteries associated with this place:
However our plans were quashed by Archaeological Survey of India, which prohibits staying inside the fort area after sunset and before sunrise. Locals say whoever has tried to stay inside after sunset was never found.Like all other tourists, we also left the place before sunset with many questions remaining still unanswered in our minds.
The day time is sufficient to reconnect with the glorious past of this place, You should not have any doubts to visit this Fort, if still don't hesitate to contact me.....
If you do not want to return back so quickly, you can drive till Chand Bawdi which is around 60 km. from this place, via Dausa district (NH11) or 42 Km. via Bandikui.
Other than Bhangarh, abandoned Kuldhara village near to Jaisalmer is also worth visiting for all ghostbusters.

Loved! Where do I start? How about I start with the fact that I just inhaled this book! I was captivated from the first word to the last. I was never bored, or distracted, completely taken by the thrill and suspense. Jack and Djinn is a step outside the norm for a Jasinda Wilder book, but that just makes it so much more impressive! Wilder takes a gander at the paranormal romance genre, and produces an original and exciting read. Jack and Djinn is a great mix of reality and the supernatural. In a world of magic and fantasy, the author injects … [Read more...]
Maybe Someday
Extraordinary!! A perfect piece of art. Maybe Someday is an unforgettable and extraordinary experience. I read this book with the music, and all I can say is it was sooo cool! Before you read this book, buy the album! I know it's extra money, but you will not regret your purchase. I'll begin this review by stating that I wasn't a die-hard Colleen Hoover fan before reading this book. I liked the Hopeless series well enough, but I wasn't a fan of the Slammed series. I can now say, definitively, that I LOVE Colleen Hoover! This book is … [Read more...]

There are 3 reasons to subscribe to your email list: They want to receive offers and discounts, they are interested in your product and they want to access some exclusive content. To build an effective list, you need to know how to collect email addresses, asking how people sign up for email.

I'm addicted to my iPad. It's my playtime device. It gets shoved in a glad-bag and comes into the bath with me, its my sit on the lounge and browse feedly or pinterest. It's amazing.
One of my favourite apps for iPad (and android) is Zinio. They boast to be the world's largest newsstand and I don't think they're wrong.
Zinio is a great app to subscribe or download single editions of your favourite mags.
