There's an element of excitement associated with the world "airplane" that creates the spirit of adventure. It knows no boundaries and encourages enthusiasm that's as infectious as it is appealing. It is what has captured the imagination of more than 180,000 individuals who proudly call themselves EAA members.
The Experimental Aircraft Association was founded in 1953 by Paul H. Poberezny, who served as the organization's president until 1989 then chairman of the board from until 2009. It has grown from a handful of aviation enthusiasts to an international organization representing virtually the entire spectrum of recreational aviation.
January 1953 Paul Poberezny, the leader of a small group of aviation enthusiasts who had been assembling at his home on an irregular basis, founds the Experimental Aircraft Association and is elected as its first President. On January 26, 1953, Poberezny calls the first official meeting of EAA at Curtiss-Wright (now Timmerman) Field in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The group originally gathered together to aid and assist amateur aircraft builders. However, its purposes quickly encompassed the promotion of all facets of recreational aviation and the promotion of aviation safety.
The organization derives its name from the "Experimental Aircraft" category, which is assigned to airplanes used for recreational and educational purposes only. Membership is open to everyone interested in aviation.
February 1953 The first issue of the official EAA newsletter - The Experimenter - is published. The newsletter is originally written, typed and mimeographed in Paul and Audrey Poberezny's basement and eventually evolves into Sport Aviation, EAA's flagship publication.
September 1953 The first annual EAA Fly-in Convention is held at Curtiss-Wright Airport in Milwaukee, with 21 aircraft and about 150 people attending. It marks the official business and social gathering of the fledgling EAA. It is also an effort by Paul Poberezny to bolster an ailing Milwaukee "air pageant."
October 1953 EAA member Ray Stits requests permission to establish an EAA chapter in Riverside, Calif. EAA Chapter 1 is the first of 1,000 worldwide chapters that provide local activities for aviation enthusiasts.
1954 Feature articles about EAA begin appearing in FLYING magazine and MECHANIX ILLUSTRATED. These feature articles draw early attention to EAA and boost membership.
May, June, July 1955 MECHANIX ILLUSTRATED magazine features a series of articles on the construction of the "Baby Ace" airplane. Paul Poberezny modified and improved the design of the original Corben Baby Ace. Articles on the airplane and its construction generate intense interest in EAA.

Kentucky House: A Democrat's Surprise Win
You'd think that after the Scott Brown experience, I (and everyone else) would learn not to take election results for granted. But, I'm ...
You'd think that after the Scott Brown experience, I (and everyone else) would learn not to take election results for granted. But, I'm a slow learner. I had assumed that Republicans would hold a Kentucky House of Representatives seat on Tuesday.
Not so, as Somerset, Kentucky's Commonwealth Journal notes:
Somerset -- A Lebanon Democrat with a big vote majority in his home county of Marion will fill the unexpired term of Jimmy Higdon, a Republican, in the state House of Representatives from the 24th Legislative District.
Terry Mills, a retired Social Security Administration employee, won a special election over state employee Leo Johnson, a Republican from Liberty, by 3001 to 2518. Mills carried Marion County by 2,611 to 333, a sufficient margin to overcome deficits in Casey and Pulaski counties. The vacancy in the House of Representatives was created when Higdon was elected to the state Senate in December to succeed Dan Kelly who was appointed to a judgeship by Gov. Steve Beshear. Higdon had represented the 24th House District for the past seven years.
Johnson carried Casey County 1,772 to 344 and won the five northern Pulaski County precincts 413 to 46.
The reason I assumed that Johnson would win was the party registration figures for the district. The 24th District has 12,903 Democrats and 12,441 Republicans.
Ok, so now I really have some explaining to do. The 24th District has more Democrats than Republicans. Yet I still assumed the Republican would win.
The reason is that this is Kentucky. Statewide, there are 1.6 million registered Democrats and only a little more than 1 million registered Republicans. Despite that, Republicans generally have performed well in Kentucky politics in recent years. Lots of registered Democrats vote Republican. So, any Kentucky district, like the 24th, with rough partisan parity should tilt strongly for the G.O.P.
They should, that is, if partisanship matters. It doesn't look like it mattered much in the 24th, where each candidate absolutely dominated in his own home area. Mills, the Democrat, happened to have a better base from which to work. Marion County does lean Democratic and Casey County does strongly favor Republicans, so the results weren't completely inexplicable from a partisan perspective. The difference in the results in the two counties was so extreme, though, that geography, not partisanship, looks like the dominant factor.
From a practical standpoint, this election doesn't mean much. Democrats already have a large majority in the Kentucky House. The seat will be up again in number, possibly with the same two candidates. But, this is at least a modest symbolic win for Democrats -- because of the very fact that partisanship wasn't the dominant factor in a conservative district in a conservative state.
Democrats have three good wins already this year. They picked up this seat, won a key Republican-held Virginia Senate seat and their side won on the Oregon tax votes. Those wins shouldn't be cause for optimism among Democrats, but perhaps a little less pessimism is in order.

Beautiful accent chair I ordered this chair to replace a large oversized chair I thought was a bit overpowering for my living room. While I do love the chair, it's not exactly comfortable. So I ended up keeping the oversized chair and adding this one as an accent chair. The blue and brown colors are really nice and the size is OK. The chair is not one you'd want to spend alot of time in, but it's fine as an accent chair.

Color was as shown, perfect for my living room Very nice chairs! Quality construction for a value-priced chair. I ordered 2 and could not be more pleased with my purchase. Read the reviews before placing my order and I am not disappointed. Very firm seating but they are in a room I do not use very much. Out of the box and put together in about 1/2 hr.

Funky Chair I ordered this chair for our basement family room that we just finished. Everything is in neutral chocolate browns and tans and I'm planning to use blue as an accent color. This chair is perfect! It blends very nicely with the decor and stands out because of its colors and print. Am planning on buying another similar one (same style, different fabric but same colors), also on Overstock to put across from this one. With a small table between the two, I'm hoping to create a casual, relaxing conversation or reading area. You should note that this chair is not one into which you will sink and feel instantly comfortable. I'm sure it will soften up over time but it's on the stiff side - comfortable enough for an occasional chair but not one you'll sit in all the time. Still, I love it!

great accent chair I originally bought this chair in the slipper chair style...which has no arms. I love the fabric! The slipper chair has a much more comfortable seat and is good for a den or apartment but this chair is in my living room and family that visits frequently felt that they would use this chair if it had arms so I purchased this one. I am very pleased with the overall look. Assembly couldn"t be easier...no tools required! The seat is very firm and that is not the most comfortable to me but may be to you. The fabric colors are true to the pic. Again...great side chair but not something I would sit in for a night of TV viewing...that is why I gave it 4 stars instead of 5. The price was right with the 10% discount coupon you get when you join facebook or email client for Overstock!

Fun & Funky We've used these chairs in a busy waiting room for a year and half with great success. Other than kids moving the lumbar pillows around the room, we've had no problems. The fabric has held up to heavy use and the chairs are quite comfortable.

Great accent chairs I bought these chairs to go with the off white Brooks sofa. They go great with it. The chairs arrived in a few days and were easy to put together. I only had to screw in the feet and push the back into place. The material has a great pattern with lots of accent colors to tie into when decorating. The chairs are firm, but comfortable. If you are looking for a lazy boy type recliner then these aren't for you, but if you want a nice looking chair to sit in when you have guests then they are perfect.

Nice chair for a small space If you're looking for a big deep chair to lounge in all day, this isn't it. But if you need to fill a small space and would prefer an armed chair to a slipper chair this is a good option. I needed something on the small side for my entryway - just something to plop down in to take off shoes and whatnot, and this chair fits perfectly. And the fact that the pattern is stitched/embroidered, rather than just a printed fabric, givens this a more expensive appearance. The only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is that the seat cushion is not removable, which can make cleaning a bit of a challenge.

In response to packy's comment:
Is there a tax penalty or rate on a Capitol Appreciatoin Fund A if I decide to withdraw thw moneyDear packy:
As these are mutual fund shares held outside of a retirement account, there is no early withdrawal penalty charged for taxes. Any sales will generate a capital gain or loss. You will be required to report the sale on your return for the year the sale occurs. The mutual fund may charge a fee, depending on the type of shares you hold. The terms relating to the "A" shares you say you hold are set by the issuing company, but "A" shares usually charge a fee when you buy the shares, a management fee while you are holding shares and no fees when you sell out. Other types of shares may charge no fee on entry, a larger fee while you hold for managing the investments and a fee on selling the shares.Hope this helps in preparing your returns!

Selegiline use while Breastfeeding
Drugs containing Selegiline: Emsam, Eldepryl, Jumex, Zelapar, Selgene, Carbex, Atapryl
Selegiline Levels and Effects while Breastfeeding
Summary of Use during Lactation
Because little information is available on the use of selegiline during breastfeeding, an alternate drug may be preferred, especially while nursing a newborn or preterm infant.
Drug Levels
Maternal Levels. Relevant published information was not found as of the revision date.
Infant Levels. Relevant published information was not found as of the revision date.
Effects in Breastfed Infants
A woman took selegiline 10 mg/day, levodopa 400 mg and benserazide 100 mg daily throughout pregnancy and continued them while breastfeeding her infant for 3 days. The child was followed for 10 years and no developmental abnormalities were found.[1]
Effects on Lactation and Breastmilk
Selegiline can decrease serum prolactin in women with migraine,[2] and in those taking neuroleptic drugs with elevated serum prolactin.[3][4] The clinical relevance of these findings in nursing mothers is not known. The prolactin level in a mother with established lactation may not affect her ability to breastfeed.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 27, 2002– Pecan Point Food Products Inc., doing business as Woodbine Farm, a Norfolk, Va., establishment, is voluntarily recalling approximately 540 pounds of cooked pork products that may be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes, the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service announced today. The products subject to recall are 5 lb. tubs of "WOODBINE FARM, FOOD SERVICE SPECIALISTS, ORIGINAL RECIPE, COOKED PORK WITH SAUCE, NATURAL SMOKE FLAVOR ADDED." Also appearing on each label is the date code "41041114." The establishment number "EST. 8070" also appears inside the USDA mark of inspection. The product was produced on November 14 and distributed to restaurants and delicatessens in southeastern Virginia. In addition, the product was sold at the company's retail establishment, located at 729 Pecan Point Road in Norfolk, Virginia. "Because of the potential for food-borne illness, consumers should not eat this product and should return it to the point of purchase," said Dr. Garry L. McKee, FSIS administrator. "Diners may wish to ask if their meals contain the recalled product and consumers should check their freezers and refrigerators for this product." The problem was discovered through routine FSIS microbiological sampling. Consumption of food contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes can cause listeriosis, an uncommon but potentially fatal disease. Healthy people rarely contract listeriosis. Listeriosis can cause high fever, severe headache, neck stiffness and nausea. Listeriosis can also cause miscarriages and stillbirths, as well as serious and sometimes fatal infections in children, seniors and those with compromised immune systems. There is absolutely no reason to have humans or animals suffer and die because of the production of food. From our research, we believe all food-borne illnesses (so-called "stomach flu," for example) originate within the meat and dairy industries or from cross-contamination. We believe that one day, in the not too distant future, the meat and dairy industries will be held financially responsible much in the same way that the tobacco industry has been held responsible for the illnesses and deaths that result from their products. In this single, small recall, we estimate that approximately 3 pigs suffered and died needlessly because of the human greed and carelessness involved in this industry. Humans have a choice whether or not to eat these animal products - the pigs were not given a choice concerning their lives. We don't need to eat animals or their by-products to live. There is an abundance of plant based foods to satisfy our every need; and plant foods don't have the food-borne illness risks and hazards. See our Recipes section for some helpful and healthful suggestions. |

Best of Total Beauty: All Our Best Beauty Product Stories in One Place
Posted by Total Beauty 05/07/13 at 02:33PM
Just when we finally got over the shock of Anne Hathaway's super-short Les Mis haircut, the Academy Award-winning actress blew us all away again at last night's Met Ball with a platinum blonde 'do. The bold color choice combined with killer styling not only complemented the actress's vintage Valentino gown, but also fit perfectly with the gala's punk theme.
To get the glam meets edgy look, celeb stylist Sascha Breuer applied Wella Professionals Extra Volume Mousse to damp hair for hold and volume. Then, Wella Professionals Bold Move Styling Paste was worked through the mid length and ends to create a slightly messy texture. To finish the look, Breuer misted Hathaway's hair with Wella Professionals Stay Firm Finishing Spray to make the rock'n'roll style last all night.
What do you think of Anne Hathaway's new look? Should she stay blonde?

Beating the Odds: Raising Academically Successful African American Males
Today, young Black men are more likely to be killed or sent to prison than to graduate from college. Yet, despite all the obstacles, some are achieving at the highest academic and professional levels. Beating the Odds tells their remarkable stories and shows us what African American families have done to raise academically successful sons, sons who are among the top two percent of African American males in terms of SAT scores and grades. The result of extensive and innovative research, Beating the Odds goes beyond mere analysis--and beyond the relentlessly negative media images--to show us precisely how young Black men can succeed despite the roadblocks of racism, the temptations of crime and drugs, and a popular culture that values being "cool" over being educated. By interviewing parents and children from a range of economic and educational backgrounds and from both single and two-parent homes, the authors identify those constants that contribute to academic achievement and offer step-by-step guidance on six essential strategies for effective parenting: child-focused love; strong limit-setting and discipline; continually high expectations; open, consistent, and strong communication; positive racial identity and positive male identity; and full use of community resources. The proof of the effectiveness of such strategies is in the sons themselves, who speak eloquently in these pages about their struggles and successes in both the classroom and the often hostile world that surrounds it. Essential reading for parents, teachers, and school administrators, Beating the Odds offers insight, guidance, and hope for anyone concerned about the plight of young African American men and the society they live in.

man, I know it is just the first preseason game after less than 10 days of camp, but both of the first rounders from Miami, DJ Williams and Sean Taylor look like veterans out there. Williams basically played the whole game, and he was and animal. It seemed like he was in on every other tackle. Taylor is a man. I knew he was a big hitter and he had great instincts, but he read that route before the tight end even broke. His eyes were shadowing Mauck the entire time, and he has great field vision. 2 picks in your first game ever preseason or not, and a TD? Not bad. Can't wait to see our rookies progression this preseason. I know it's an exihibition, but at least it is football. Is Miami that much better at producing NFL ready talent? Williams, Taylor, Portis, AJ, Sapp, Mackinzie (sp), Rumpf, McGehee, Lewis, just to name a few.
if you look at the 21 first rounders in the last 5 years: bubba franks, damione lewis, dan morgan, reggie wayne, santana moss, bryant mckinny, jeremy shockey, ed reed, phillip buchannon, mike rumph, andre johnson, jerome mcdougle, willis mcgahee, william joseph, sean taylor, kellen winslow, jon vilma, d.j. williams, vernon carey, and vince wilfork, all of these guys would battle each other in practice. when you're going against guys that good everyday, it is going to help you when you enter the league.
I don't think Taylor looked like a Veteran out there... he was basically playing against his college people (rookies) - Watts, and Mauck(sp?). He did solid, but they have been saying he looks sloppy at camp, and you notice he dident start over Matt Bowen......come on, MATT BOWEN? lol, Im sure he'll be ok though, I just don't think hes gonna be that GREAT as his # 4 overall or whatever pick it was.
"Williams basically played the whole game, and he was and animal. It seemed like he was in on every other tackle." Really? Why does he have 0 tackles on the NFL.com stats report? |
Re: Miami-NFLU?
sean taylor played like sean taylor, he played like he always does, so his performance wasn't unexpected. actually he didn't start over andre lott, not matt bowen. i can't tell you why he didn't start but a few things i came up with were that they didn't want to just hand him the starting job, but make him earn it and maybe they were concerned about his knee. we'll see how he does next saturday against carolina.
Re: Miami-NFLU?
Apparently you don't read the reports on Redskins training camp, Im sure he'll pull around, but apparently hes been very poor in training camp, and looks " lost ", I know he will bounce and take the starting job Im just saying from what Iv'e read hes been very sloppy, and he already wants a new contract? lol.....
Re: Miami-NFLU?
actually i read the washington post every morning and i would say that for a rookie he is doing just fine. yeah he looked sloppy at times, but everyone one does when you're learning a new system. at other times he is making plays so it all balances out. also the media is blowing every little thing the guy does out of proportion, so all you hear about is the bad stuff.

Final 2010 NFL Efficiency Ratings and 2010 Playoff Preview
With the season over I'll take one last look at the regular season numbers and then use the efficiency numbers to try to project the playoffs each week. How did the regular season projections work out in week 13? Not too great. The Chargers and Jaguars were both misses. Jacksonville was probably hurt somewhat by injuries, but the Colts did what they had to do by winning some tough games against the Titans. In the NFC it was a bit better though I had the Bears and Packers switched as the division winner and wildcard team. Of the 12 teams in the playoffs 10 of the top 11 rated teams made it. The Chargers were the lone miss and they are the one team whose efficiency rating is wildly skewed by their home and away splits. San Diego They were the third best home team in the NFL with a 52.08% rating but ranked 15th on the road with a 4.32% rating. Kansas City is the worst of the real playoff teams with a number 16 ranking. Much like the Miami Dolphins a few years ago they took advantage of a very easy schedule and to their credit never slipped up the way the Chargers did. It is hard to imagine that a worse team will ever make the playoffs than the winner of the NFC West. The good stories of the year were the Raiders and Lions who sprung from 30 and 31 in 2009 to 13 and 15. As for the yearly projections I ended with a 12-4 record both SU and ATS. The final yearly record was 148-108 straight up and 128-128 against the spread using the efficiency ratings to project the games.
Onto the playoffs:
New Orleans Saints (9th Overall, 9th Scoring, 14th Defense, 7th Overall Away) vs. Seattle Seahawks (30th Overall, 24th Scoring, 30th Defense, 26th Overall Home)
This is really a joke of a game. This has to be the worst team to ever make it into the playoffs. I am not one of those people who believes they should get rid of the divisions or reseed, but its just sad to see Seattle in here. Both the 49'ers and Rams were better teams and just had some tougher losses. Saints are most definitely not the machine they were last season but should win pretty easily. Seattle is a tough trip and the Seahawks will at least put up a fight, but it would be a stunner to see the Saints lose. They should win the game by a score of something like 30-17.
New York Jets (6th Overall, 12th Scoring, 5th Defense, 16th Overall Away) vs. Indianapolis Colts (10th Overall, 5th Scoring, 19th Defense, 9th Overall Home)
The rematch of last years AFC Championship will present an interesting dynamic again. The Jets have played better football overall for the season much like last year, but the question is can the Jets good defense overcome the Colts good offense. Last year they were unable to do so. The one difference this year is that the Jets have not been a good road team and the Colts are an improved home team in 2010 than they were in 2009. The Jets offense has improved slightly from a year ago while the Colts defense has taken a step back which will likely give the Jets a slightly better chance this time around. Though the Jets defense is also not as good as they were last season they can not play much worse than they did in last years title game when Peyton Manning carved them up in the second half as if they were not even there. On a neutral field the game would favor the Jets, however in Indianapolis it looks like this should be a close loss for New York say something like 27-24 or 26-24.
Baltimore Ravens (8th Overall, 16th Scoring, 4th Defense, 5th Overall Away) vs. Kansas City Chiefs (16th Overall, 19th Scoring, 10th Defense, 8th Overall Home)
This was a great draw for the Ravens, similar to how a few years ago they got the great draw by heading into Miami. While the Ravens are not an elite team this season they are a different class of team than the Chiefs. While the Ravens are somewhat offensively challenged so are the Chiefs and the Ravens are a better defensive club as well. The Ravens are a good road team which will help neutralize the home field for Kansas City. The one thing that helps the Chiefs is the margin of victory they have had at home this year which has been slightly over 9 points. That does indicate that they take care of business at home against an easy schedule. They also play very well defensively at home where they rank 4th, holding teams to about 25% below their usual score. That does give them a chance. If the Chiefs can completely control the tempo of the game they will win, but most likely this will be a low scoring slugfest with the Ravens winning something like 19-16. The Chiefs are the least likely team in the AFC to make any noise.
Green Bay Packers (2nd Overall, 6th Scoring, 1st Defense, 6th Overall Away) vs. Philadelphia Eagles (7th Overall, 2nd Scoring, 21st Defense, 13th Overall Home)
Green Bay is the one team that nobody wanted to see in the playoffs but they were able to get by the Bears and sneak in as a 6 seed. Green Bay is in every game they play and has the best defense in the NFL. If you want to get an idea of how good the defense is they are statistically better than last seasons Jets, who many considered the best defense in the last 7 or 8 years. Nobody notices it because all the hype surrounds the offense. The defense is at its best away from home, holding teams to about 38% below their average score. That is domination. Philadelphia is strictly an offensive team whose fate lies in the arms and legs of QB Mike Vick. If you contain him, and a blueprint has been shown on how to do it, the Eagles don't have a chance to win. The Eagles are somewhat limping right now. Though the media has somehow already placed them in the NFC Championship game they have lost their last two games and should have lost their final 3 if not for a historic miracle against the Giants. They may have peaked too early. Expect the Packers to win by about 4 points. Call it 17-13
The rest of the field:
New England Patriots (1st Overall, 1st Scoring, 11th Defense, 1st Overall Home)
If there is one runaway team in the NFL it's the Patriots. Their offense is more deadly than last seasons Saints team and they are just crushing teams at home this season. They are great on the road as well but that will never come into play. Their turnaround has been remarkable and it was all facilitated by the trade of WR Randy Moss. The one prediction I would make about them is that they will fall drastically next year. I think teams spent all offseason preparing for something that totally disappeared after week 4. Teams will be better prepared next season. That means nothing for this season though as they are the clear favorites. Their potential round 1 matchups are the Ravens, Chiefs, and Jets and all should be comfortable margins of victory. They would look to beat the Ravens by about 9, the Chiefs by about 17 and the Jets by 12. When it comes to a potential title game against the Colts or Steelers the Steelers are the one team that could at least put a scare in them. Unless Manning was to play his mind out they would lose by double digits, but if the Steelers defense shows up to play they can keep the game within a 4 points and you never know what happens in such a situation. It would be very surprising to see the Patriots knocked off.
Pittsburgh Steelers (3rd Overall, 8th Scoring, 2nd Defense, 4th Overall Home, 2nd Overall Away)
Like the Packers, The Steelers also have a defense that tracks slightly better than the Jets 2009 defense which is going to make them one of the favorites this year. They have a great balance, with the big negative being that they have to go into New England if they want to win it al. Can they be upset in round 2? Its possible. They have not always played up to their stats this season and will be facing the Colts, Chiefs, or Ravens in this round. The Colts would be about a TD underdog, the Ravens a 4 or 5 point dog, and the Chiefs would look to have no chance and should lose by at least 2 touchdowns. If they advance to the championship they could host the Jets, who beat them a few weeks ago, or travel to meet New England, who also beat them this season. The Steelers would be a 4 point or so underdog to New England and would be favored in a rematch with NY by about a touchdown.
Atlanta Falcons (4th Overall, 3rd Scoring, 8th Defense, 6th Overall Home)
For the longest time the Falcons were considered the favorite in the NFC, but a loss to the Saints in week 16 seemed to dampen that feeling for some point. They are definitely one of the elite teams in the NFL and have home field throughout. Their first game will either be against the Seahawks, Saints, or Packers so its likely they will get a tough draw for their first game. The Saints have beaten each of those teams this season. If Seattle was to somehow advance the Falcons would be a 20 point favorite and cruise to the title game. The other two games are certainly trickier. New Orleans already won in Atlanta, but would be a very slight underdog in this spot. Atlanta should win something like a 23-21 type game. Green Bay lost a close game in Atlanta and would look to lose a close game again, say 16-14. If they advance to the title round they would face either the Eagles or the Bears. They would prefer the Bears who don't have the offense to win the game. Still they would only be favored by about 3 points in a low scoring game. The Eagles would be favored by a point over the Falcons in what would look to be a 31-30 type shootout. Atlanta has to be considered the favorite in the NFC, but they don't hold a distinct advantage in any matchup unless they get the Seahawks.
Chicago Bears (11th Overall, 20th Scoring, 3rd Defense, 18th Overall Home, 9th Overall Away)
This is the team nobody believes in and to some extent that is probably fair because the offense is not good and they do not play well at home. Though the defense ranks 3rd in the league it is not an elite squad and the dropoff from the Steelers to the Bears is huge. They did earn a bye week which should at least give them some advantage. Their potential divisional matchups would be the Eagles, Seahawks, or Saints. The only game they would be favored in would be the Seahawk game, where they would be favored by about 13 points. They would be a 4 or 5 point underdog against the Eagles and a touchdown underdog against the Saints. They would also be about a 5 point underdog against the Packers. Its going to be tough to see this team making it.

Sri Mehandipur Balaji Temple is situated in Dausa,Rajasthan.Basically Shri Mehendipur Balaji Temple is Lord Hanuman Ji's Temple.Long ago the image of Lord Balaji and that of Pret Raja (the King of spirits) appeared from the Arawali hills. Now people suffering from malignant spirits and black magic or spell get their relief when they make an appeal for relief to Shri Bhairav ji and Shri Pret Raj Sarkar who holds his court and awards punishment to the malignant spirits, ghosts, goblins, ghouls, evil eyed witches etc.Shrine of Balaji, Court of Pret Raja, Pooja griha, Bhairav ji temple and Ram Darbar are some of the spots worth seeing here. Places of Interest Nilkanth Mahadev Temple - A large stone Linga, was also found whose top only is visible above the ground. It originally belonged to a Shiv Temple on the summit of the hill and a temple of Nilkanth Mahadev now occupies the site. The Temple is situated on the Aravali mountain range is at the centre of Dausa district. The temple is situated at the top of a hill. The temple is said to be 100-200 years old. Rajput kings used to have security arrangements adjacent to the temple. Cannons are still seen on the temple complex. Another interesting aspect linked to faith held by the devotees is the tiny stone structures bearing the semblance of houses at the sidewalks on the way to temple. These are built by pilgrims on their way to the shrine believing that this would fulfill their wishes of having a house of their own. Mataji Ka Mandir - Another group of finely carved sculptures dating back to12th century AD that are worshipped are built in the front wall of a modern temple (built in 1965) known as Mataji ka Mandir etc. On the way to the Bawdi is the Harshd Mata Temple. It is dedicated to a goddess. It was built by King Chand or Chandra of Nikumbha Rajputs of Chahamana Dynasty who was ruling at Abaneri or ancient Abha-Nagari (City) during 8th - 9th century A.D. Facing East, this temple is raised over double terraced platform. Originally hails the super structure of the Mahameru Style. The Sanctum is Pancharatha on plan and consists of Sandhara Garbhagriha, pillared Mandapa, crowned by a domical ceiling. Each niche of the buttress of Garbagriha has beautiful Brahmanical deities. Sculptures curved in deep relief fixed in the niches around the plinth of the upper terrace are the main attraction of this temple. Pratap Vatika - A few kilometres away from Dausa lay Vair. This is where the historic Pratap Vatika spreads itself. The once-lively fort-palace complex is now in ruins, and this makes an ideal location for a quiet picnic. The Pratap Mahal with its rounded roofs and small pillared balconies is very much in keeping with Rajput architecture. Within the complex is a small temple - Mohanji ka Mandir - made of red sandstone. Mohan is another name for Krishna, the dark and mischievous Hindu god with a flute. The arches and pillars of the temple, badly damaged, add to the romantic ambience greatly. The Lal Mahal topped by chhatris (cenotaphs) has a beautiful kund (tank) adjoining it. There are people inhabiting a part of the mahal, so the entire complex is not desolate. If not anything else, you might bump into their cows and goats at least. Kaila Devi Temple - Kaila Devi(Goddess) Temple is situated on the banks of the Kalisil river in Karauli district. The temple is dedicated to the tutelary diety, goddess Kaila, of the erstwhile princely rulers of the Karauli state.It is a marble structure with a large courtyard of a checkered floor.In one place are a number of red flags planted by devotees.The place is also famous for its fair held during the dark half of 'chaitra'(March-April) and lasts for a fortnight. Getting there and Around By Air - The nearest airport is Sanganer, Jaipur (113 kms) By Rail - The Nearest Railway station is Bandikui (40 kms) By Road - Mehandipur Balaji is well connected to All major cities of North India .There is very frequent service of buses on Agra Jaipur highway. The journey can be performed by car from delhi either via Alwar-Mahwa or mathura-Bharatpur-mahwa. Accomodation Dausa has few good hotels of quality services like the Hotel Madhuban.There are many budget hotels too. There is a Dharamshala around the temple too that provides accommodation at very nominal charges. Things to Remember

The best defense against stains is information -- knowing how to attack a particular spot before it sets permanently into the fabric. Since there are so many kinds of stains, each with its own best cleaning method, it's difficult to memorize them all. That's where this convenient "first aid" chart comes in: It's a comprehensive listing of stains, from grease to ink, along with advice on how to handle them for both washable and nonwashable items. Martha laminated her chart and hung it on the wall in her laundry room, where she refers to it whenever she needs to. You can download the chart and print it out. Your local copy shop will be able to laminate the chart for you.

March 26, 2014 | Permaculture, Permaculture Design, Publications | 13 comments | Author: Kirsten Bradley
Hey great news – Australia has it's very own, brand-spanking new Permaculture Magazine. It's called Pip, and we love it.
Pip is going to come out twice a year (to begin with) and offer a stack of info as well as glimpses into fabulous permaculture gardens, projects, people and more…
As well as being a lovely read (on 100% post-consumer recycled paper, of course), Pip also has the potential to be a powerful and central point of independent news, innovation and resources for the Australian permaculture community.
Well worth supporting then, wouldn't you say?
At the moment, the easiest way to get your hands on a copy of Pip is to Subscribe online.
However Pip are also looking for outlets all over Australia, so if you know somewhere that should stock the funkiest new little mag in town, hassle them till they get it in. Thanks.
Oh and also, the word on the street is that all members of Permaculture Australia will now get Pip as part of their annual subscription, so there's a way of supporting two great permaculture initiatives at once.
Or, if you want the full permaculture experience, you could do one of our Permaculture Design Courses. Why? Because as part of our fair share charter we now sign all our PDC grads up to Permaculture Australia.
Which means that if you do a Permaculture Design Course with us, you'll not only emerge with an excellent permaculture design skillset, but also a subscription to Pip mag! Huzzah.
** Addition! From the Pip crew: just a note that Pip Magazine is produced by the community, for the community. It's everybody's magazine! If you have some ideas for an article, please email us. (See the Contact section on the website.)
[…] Pip Magazine is live – get your permaculture on. […]
It looks gorgeous too!
thank you, it's brilliant!
Well I just love the name! What a stylish publication.
just subscribed!
Thanks for the write up Kirsten. We're glad you love it.
If I can add one thing for your readers: Pip Magazine is produced by the community, for the community. It's everybody's magazine! If you have some ideas for an article, please email us. (See the "Contact" section on the website.)
aha i will add that to the article
I am sitting here waiting for the postie to hopefully deliver mine today. It is raining and I want to get it before it gets wet. Hurry up postman.
fantastic isn't it?! – yay for robyn who has worked her little permie fingers off to get this over the line – all of us on the far south coast are mighty proud of her and the mag she's developed
Congratulations! I look forward to it gaining momentum. I was part of permaculture Melbourne but thing my subscription lapsed. I'd tweet it but don't see a link. I'll post it on my FB page as well as reblog this
I got mine the other day and not only is it recycled paper but the envelope is too! I knew INSTANTLY what it was. How awesome is that! Trying desperately to find the time (3 kids under 6) to sit and enjoy magazine and a cup of organic fair trade BOP tea with it.
Am waiting patiently for the online version to become available as that is even more ethical..!
