	Dowsing Test; Failure of the Munich Experiments (Skeptical Inquirer January 1999)
		Water dowsing ordinarily takes place out of doors, and this raises potential difficulties for meaningful experiments, because no two outdoor locations can be considered fully equivalent replicates; and the essence of proper scientific research is replicated testing to examine reproducibility.
		Circulating water was chosen rather than still water because the traditions of dowsers postulate that useful underground water supplies are mainly to be found as flowing streams that they refer to as "water arteries" and not just within extensive deposits of permeable sediment, as geologists would tell them.
		If, say, a 3-meter-diameter stream of water were to be located at a depth of 100 meters, the dowser must achieve precision of less than 1° around the vertical in determining the point of maximal stimuli for drilling, and this apparently implies detection of minuscule changes in stimulus direction and/or intensity.

	Epic Disasters - The Ten Worst Epidemic Diseases
		Cholera is caused by the bacteria Vibrio cholerae and is spread by drinking water and food contaminated with the bacteria.
		Typhoid is spread by water and food infected by the salmonela bacteria.
		It has largely disappeared with modern sanitation, but was a major killer in olden days (wells and outhouses shared the same water tables).

	Shadows Collide with People - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		John Frusciante conceived and created Shadows Collide With People (2004) during the recording of "By the Way".
		It was his fourth solo album and is widely regarded as his most accessible work, featuring an eclectic mix of guitar-driven alternative rock, folk ballads, and electronica.
		Another notable feature of this album is John's newfound ability to sing in a more professional-sounding and stronger voice than ever before.

	Something funky is hanging in the air
		The only funk on Frusciante's third solo release, "To Record Only Water For Ten Days," is the stink of a rotten exploration of his musical tastes.
		On "To Record Only Water For Ten Days," Frusciante strays away from the electric riffs, which made him a success, and into acoustic singer/songwriter terrain.
		A Warner Brothers Records press release for the album states, "Between 1992 and 1997, John Frusciante had many periods where his main social activity was with spirits manifested as voices, thought waves, astral bodies and decay of physical matter.

		To Record Only Water for Ten Days, in particular, was layered with a multitude of odd-colored textures and beautiful lyrics.
		Using only a 16-track recorder and the flow of life, the two recorded the album in a very short period of time.
		My only hope is that he continues to both enlighten us with his influences on these albums and that he keeps plugging away at making his own style of music.

		Not only did we need the equipment to record the necessary data (altimeter, cyclometer, watch, tape recorder, etc.) but the other items we chose to carry with us on the bike worked out as well.
		Only a few and the smaller the better – mine are about 12” long by 3/8” in diameter.

	Album Reviews - John Frusciante - To Record Only Water for Ten Days (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		The other aspect of To Record Only Water that jumps out initially is how electronic this album is. After one listen, it is difficult to determine whether this is an electronic album or an acoustic guitar album.
		John's voice can be a bit oh...falsetto at times, and on To Record Only Water there is a bit of a distorted tinge effect on his voice that is a bit harsh.
		There are plenty of other very strong tracks on To Record Only Water; every fan has his/her favorites, but the bottom line is that this is an extremely solid collection of songs, that only gets better with time.

	John in The Observer
		To Record Only Water For Ten Days, much like Frusciante's previous two solo efforts - Smile From the Streets You Hold in 1997 and the even darker Niandra Lades and Usually Just a T-Shirt from 1995 - show he has a flair for sonics.
		And much like Keith Richards's seminal solo record from 1988, Talk Is Cheap, To Record Only Water For Ten Days shows a similar scant regard for pop songwriting conventions.
		To Record Only Water For Ten Days is released on 12 February on WEA

	THE MOUNTAIN COUNTY REGIMENT
		For twelve days the Regiment was more or less in constant action, but the fighting was much less severe than on the fateful first of June.
		The record of Cold Harbor of which all but a very small proportion was incurred on June first is as follows: Killed or died of wounds - 121 Wounded - 190 Missing - 15 Prisoners - 3 thus a total of 329 casualties in a Regiment of 1800 men.
		Three days later the Regiment was sent against the fort on Fisher's Hill, considered the Gibraltar of the Shenandoah Valley, which they scaled and captured with a loss of only four men killed.

	John Frusciante - Shadows Collide With People: Silent Uproar (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		For whatever that means to you, good or bad, he is at least partially responsible for alot of the bands biggest hits including "Under the Bridge," "Breaking the Girl," and a load of others.
		Even the previous release To Record Only Water for Ten Days does not match the professional sounding level of recording that this release has accomplished.
		Beyond specific songs, there are two big fundamental highlights on this disc that should be mentioned: First, the collaboration with long time pal Josh Klinghoffer, who not only has a voice the compliments Frusciante's perfectly, but obviously brings some ideas to the table that take the songs even further away from being too traditional.

	Observer Newspaper - Scene (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		Fast-forward to 1999: Frusciante gets his act together, records a huge album with the Peppers in Californication, and officially announces to the music world that he is back.
		To Record Only Water for Ten Days is Frusciante's latest solo effort, covering 15 songs in a little over 40 minutes.
		A poorly inserted instrument track can kill a song, no matter how strong the actual composition is. The only song that really leaps off the disc as a success is the instrumental "Murderers," whose tracks blend into a harmonious mix which allows the ear to actually come free.

	CSULB Online 49er: v8n74: New record hits soul deeply
		While in the midst of his heroin addiction, not only was he seemingly on the verge of death, but he also never touched his instrument until he began to shake himself of his terrible affliction.
		While "Water" is not as aurally experimental as his previous solo efforts, 1991s "Niandra La Des and Usually Just a T-Shirt" and 1997s "Smile from the Streets You Hold," it is more coherent and focused than anything Frusciante has done before as a solo artist.
		"To Record Only Water for Ten Days," is a 15-track, 40-plus minute celebration of a person's eyes reopening to find that they're not dead, an exorcism of that which couldn't be felt while in drug addiction.

	CD Review: One Chili's 'Water'-(U. Illinois)
		Instead, he takes chances with a rough-around-the-edges, risk-taking record that should secure his future as a solo star long after the Chili Peppers find their tombstone in the early '90s rock 'n' roll graveyard.
		Water, Frusciante's first solo record since returning to the Peppers in one of rock's few success stories in recent years, is unbelievably mature and introspective-a surprise considering his earlier solo efforts and status as an energetic goofball who wore strategically placed socks.
		Listening to Frusciante's poetry on Water is like being allowed to glimpse into his long bout with heroin-through the addiction, the pain of going cold turkey and the final redemption associated with kicking the habit once and for all.

		And he now seems to have purged all chemical demons, judging from the relatively stable frame of mind depicted on his decidedly tame new solo album, To Record Only Water for Ten Days.
		The songs are again skeletal and wobbly, recorded on four-track with usually just a guitar and drum machine as instrumentation.
		But these tales of traveling to hell and back don't frighten you as much as they remind you of the sad truth that some artists are simply better on drugs.

	The Harvard Crimson :: Arts :: Clean, Sober
		Backed only by his guitars, drum machines, and occasional bleeps, keyboards, strings and marimbas, each track is nevertheless a rich melange of melodic and timbral ideas.
		There will inevitably be those put off by the simple boom-chick of the drum machine and the absence of bass lines, and it would be a nice contrast to hear these songs performed by a sympathetic backing band, but the overall intimate ambiance is key to the project's feel.
		While his instrumental work is generally uncomplicated, it's marked by the same unique style of melodic progressions that stamps his Chili Peppers work (the coda of "Around the World," on the recent Californication is a good example, as is the opening melody of the title track).

		Adding to the unfinished feel of the record is its actual "sound." Imagine yourself in the same room with the band, playing live and unmixed, while you're wearing a popcorn tin over your head.
		They undoubtedly sank hundreds of thousands dollars into the recording of this album, when I could have given them the same results for just under a grand by setting up in a YMCA gymnasium with a couple of mics and a 4-track recorder.
		I realize this is only about fifteen minutes worth of fun, but it's harder than you might expect to narrow all of your favorite movies down to a list of only twenty.

		To Record Only Water for Ten Days (Warner Bros.) 2001
		Despite the detached Syd Barrett trappings, Frusciante's ramblings are not only surprisingly listenable but stand right up there with 1994's best lo-fi recordings, although possibly the only such indulgence released on a major label.
		Sample lyric, from "Curtains": "You've all been always there/Your head shaped like a pear/You search through the lights/Instead of jumped in the pie/Of life that you sliced/Til it's just right." But "Mascara" is a semi-eloquent ballad, and Frusciante's compositional skill is deft and soulful in its own singular way.

	RTE.ie Entertainment - John Frusciante - To Record Only Water For Ten Days
		Now back to health and back with the 'Chili Peppers, 'To Record...' plays like a cautionary tale from a man who went a little too close to the edge for a little too long.
		Always one of the most underrated guitar players, Frusciante jumps from the spaghetti western dynamics of 'Away & Anywhere' to the overlapping acoustic and electrics of 'Ramparts' to the blips and beats meets singer/songwriter sentiments of 'In Rime'.
		The results are downbeat and broody but move with a fractured beauty that highlights an artist with far more to offer than his day job could ever suggest.

	The Oberlin Review Online
		The only song with vocals, “Romantic,” is aggressively sexual, and includes the classically forgettable line, “Wake me up from my dream/To bring me French toast and tea.” Luckily the narrative of the song descends into repetition, where the band takes over and the vocoder solo ultimately changes the color of your pants.
		Now, after helping his fellow Peppers reclaim their platinum-selling status, Frusciante has returned to the studio alone to record the honest, but rarely satisfying, To Record Only Water for Ten Days.
		Unfortunately, though, this instrumental serves only as a breath of fresh air amid the muddle of much of the rest of the album.
