Fans recall what Paul McCartney — and the Beatles — meant to them
On June 18, 1942, a boy named James Paul McCartney was born in Liverpool, England. He'd grow up and meet other chaps — John Lennon, George Harrison, Ringo Starr — and together as the Beatles, they'd impact the lives of countless millions around the world, and of people living in Milwaukee, during the '60s and the decades that followed.
McCartney has been active ever since, in Wings, as a solo artist and on the road. On Tuesday, McCartney will take the stage at a sold-out Miller Park for his first Milwaukee concert since 2005, to perform in front of about 40,000 spectators. »Read Full Article(2)
Court case delays state launch of Aereo television service
The launch of a new television service in 11 Wisconsin counties, offering customers basic channels for prices starting as low as $8 per month, has been delayed as the fledgling company fights for its life in a U.S. Supreme Court case.
Aereo Inc. is already in the New York metropolitan area, Boston, Atlanta, Detroit and other cities. It was scheduled to offer service in Madison and much of central Wisconsin by April 1, but that's been delayed for what could be nine months, spokeswoman Virginia Lam said Monday. »Read Full Article(3)
Forward Theater's 'Or,' celebrates the art of the possible
Madison — In the arresting and audacious Prologue to Liz Duffy Adams' "Or," — the rollicking but also moving mash-up of 1660s Restoration comedy and 1960s idealism being directed by Jennifer Uphoff Gray at Forward Theater — actor Amy J. Carle gives the audience quite a bit more than the standard warning about silencing cellphones.
Still in street clothes en route to disappearing backstage and becoming Aphra Behn — 17th-century poet, playwright and spy — Carle delivers 40 lines of iambic verse describing what's to come. »Read Full Article
For Hank the Brewers dog, opening day a walk in the park
Hank the Brewers dog's first opening day was a walk in the park — or, more accurately, a walk around Miller Park.
Fans cheered Hank as he walked with mascot Bernie Brewer up the third base side before the first pitch of the game. The dog, adopted by the family of a Brewers official after he showed up as a stray at spring training camp in Arizona in February, was a media star during pregame activity, including with a crew from ABC's "World News Tonight." ABC said the segment is scheduled to air on Tuesday's 5:30 p.m. newscast. »Read Full Article(1)

Visiting Brazil
Brazil, by far the largest country in South America, draws millions of tourists every year thanks to its natural beauty, famous events, and intriguing culture. The city of Rio de Janeiro acts as the gateway for most people coming in from the UK and other countries. It is the second largest city in Brazil with over 14 million residents. Portuguese is the official language here but plenty of locals speak English which makes it convenient for visitors to go around. Tours are offered for convenient travel that stops at all of the must-see places.
Breathtaking Landscape
Rio is located at the southern part of the country facing the Atlantic Ocean. Its harbour is famed for distinctive geographic features that are truly sights to behold. There's the relatively small Sugar Loaf Mountain that juts out 395 meters above the waters at the entrance to Guanabara Bay. There is also the famous Corcovado Peak with the iconic statue of Christ the Redeemer at an elevation of over 700 meters. The hills of Tijuca inside the national park are visible as well rising to 1,021 meters above sea level. These provide a glimpse of the incredible natural beauty of the land with much more to be discovered in amazon tours in brazil.
Extra information about amazon tours in brazil
Gorgeous Beaches
Rio's long coastline has vastly influenced the culture of the city. Going to the beach is one of the favourite pastimes of locals. Tourists will be pleased to find that the beaches here are clean and lined with powdery white sand. The infrastructures are well-developed but the shoreline remains as beautiful as ever. There is a laidback atmosphere with a liberal culture. People can visit the most well-known places like Ipanema and Copacabana to satisfy their curiosity, and then explore other spots like Abrico, Vermelha, and more. Some of the Oceanside beaches get strong waves that are ideal for surfing.
The Grand Carnival
The annual extravaganza known as the Carnival is the most anticipated event in all of Brazil. This nearly two-week long party features parades by the different samba schools in Rio. The entire city transforms during this event with lively colours lining the streets and every resident getting into the spirit of the celebrations. Those who wish to see this spectacle should plan well in advance as its extreme popularity makes it difficult to book tickets and accommodations at the last minute. Even if there are spots available, they tend to be very expensive. Booking early with a tour company is advised for convenience.
A Dynamic City
Rio is where the country's most influential musical genres originated. The pioneers of bossa nova, samba and choro all honed their craft here. Their legacy is strongly felt all around the city with places dedicated to these types of music. Capoeira is another distinctly Brazilian activity that combines dance with martial arts. Tourists can avail of beginner classes at Casa Rosa Cultural for a fun and memorable time. It's truly a dynamic city with a lot of unique experiences to offer.

Arcularius: Beautiful stone decorations... and books
It is quite obvious that this is a bookstore but the house, at least the ground floor, looks fascinating as well. Two cherubs guard the entrance to the store, but they are figures representing handicraft and farming: one holds a hammer and has a wheel at the bottom (photo 2) and the other holds a sickle (photo 3). On the other hand, the bookstore is old, founded in 1804, as the signature over the entrance says, so it is a bit of a mystery why the cherubs won't hold owls, symbols for wisdom and books.
The store has an excellent collection of books you won't find in the usualy bookstore: critical ones, very much liberal texts, an excellent choice of travel books and a very big selection of calendars. The staff is very knowledgeable and helpful an.. speaks English! Well, they sell also English books.
Arcularious is the best choice for books about Marburg, while Elwert (see above) is more university subject oriented.
Opening hours: Mo-Fri 9:00 – 18:30 and Sat 9:00 – 14:00
As far as I could see, credit cards are accepted.
What to buy: Update, June 2010:
In case it gets lost, VT member Rana208 just wrote the following comment:
"Not the bookshop was founded in 1804! It only took over the name of the former workshop of Wilhelm Arcularius... :-) Beautiful idea, isn't it?!"
I keep my text above though, and together with his/her comment it will remind me to do proper research before I write something :-)

Marburger Töpferhaus: Hessen Pottery
The shop is located in a 19th century half-timbered house, for those who love a romantic ambience.
What to buy: "Marburger Dippche": traditional pottery in the regional patterns, simple floral ornaments on dark green, brown, blue, or black ground.
The shop also sells the typical grey and blue pottery from the Westerwald.
- Arts and Culture
Mutabor (Schmuck, Licht und schöne Dinge): Beautiful home decoration
This shop is a lovely break in the "tradition" of chain stores which are "ulcerating" through Marburg and force traditional shops to go out of business (not only in Marburg but in many cities). It is rather new and they sell .. as the name Schmuck, Licht und schöne Dinge suggests, jewellery, light and beautiful things. When I was passing it it was already closed (my "playing tourist in Marburg" days were during Whitsunday weekend) and I regret that I didn't found it earlier. I loved their lamps in the shop window and would definitely have bought one of these. They also had Pre-Colombian jewellery (the weblink is not of the shop, I have added it for the ones who never heard of the term) and funny hip rings and necklaces, other furniture, mostly wooden.
Opening hours: Mo-Fri 11:00 – 18:00 and Sat 10:30 – 17:00

Beautiful Marburg pottery!
The house at Steinweg No. 8 (see local customs section) is not only one of the most beautiful half-timbered houses in Marburg but it is also home to a pottery with very old tradition dating back several hundred years. And this, given all the globalisation and crappy destructive consolidation in Germany and elsewhere, is something very percious. The potter, Manfred Schneider, and his family live in this beautiful house and have their shop in the ground floor [first floor/US]. Already at the entrance to the shop is a wall covered with tiles bearing names of famous potters in this family. They produce according to age old patterns and decorations: dark brown, medium brown, dark blue and dark green, all glazed and with the typical flowers (six or more white dots around one dark brown or black dot, see photos). The showroom is huge and the products range from coffee cups to mugs, pitchers, plates and any other crockery one could imagine. I especially loved the fact that they make little ornaments with typical German fairytale figures, Gänseliesels (Goose Lizzies), geese, Litte Red Riding Hood, witches, hearts, butterflies and Christmas related ones.
Prices vary depending on what you buy. I bought a pitcher (10 €), several cups (4-5 €) and several of their ornaments (1,50-2 €).
Opening hours: Mon-Fri: 10:00 – 13:00 and 14:30 – 18:30, Sat: 10:00 – 17:00.
Credit cards accepted.

Universitätsbuchhandlung Elwert: Excellent Bookstore "Elwert"
If you know some of my pages you might know that I am addicted to books and include bookshops in my tips wherever I find one. Marburg's best bookshop is Elwert. And of course, I was there at my recent visits so I can still judge. Moreover, they have increased quality and displaying the books, but they are still independent and don't need to follow rules of mass stores or chains.
If you look for any specific book you most certainly will get it here. Take in mind that they are considering themselves as one of the city's university bookshop and have all books for the different study subjects available (law, science, medicine, pharmacy, theology, humanities). And they can order any book which is not in their stock, within one day.
The paperbacks are in the "lower shop" with entrance at Pilgrimstein (= street, photo 2). The scientific and other books in the "upper shop" with entrance at Reitgasse (main photo).
Elwert also has a funny feature: with the two locations of the shops there is no need to leave the shop and walk uphill or downhill to get to the other one, but there is a wee elevator (for two people only) connecting both shops. You can, of course, also use this elevator to shortcut your walk uphill, but be sure, you browse through the books as well.

Marburg's delicious souvenirs :-)
You might like to consider bringing delicious souvenirs instead of those boring mugs, t-shirts or any other kitschy things. Marburg's patisseries offer sweets to die for!
For example, buy an original Landgrave Castle bat – in marsipan (1,50 €, 3 cm high). Or, surprise friends with the delicious Elisabethkugeln, chocolate balls, filled with cream (5 €). Or, Marburger Pflastersteine, Marburg cobblestone, also made of chocolate (3-5 €, depending on the size).
The best of all (unfortunately without a picture) is Café Vetter's famous Baumkuchen, a kind of pyramidal cake. But you can have a look on their website, unfortunately at the time being, internet cannot transfer taste. Café Vetter has a wealth of delicious other souvenirs and they also change their range of goods with the season. End of October for example they had (and have) extra special Christmas filled chocolate and cute tin boxes in several sizes.

Artifacts Stolen From Indonesia's National Museum
Monday, September 16, 2013
(Wikimedia Commons)JAKARTA, INDONESIA—Indonesian officials are investigating the security systems in the country's museums after a recent break-in at the National Museum in Jakarta. Four golden artifacts dating to the eighth and ninth centuries, including three plaques and a small box, were stolen. The police questioned museum employees, security officers, archaeologists, alarm and CCTV technicians, and learned that the closed circuit television cameras had not been working for nearly a year, and that the alarm system had been down for two months. "Before the burglary occurred, the government had already planned to improve the security system as part of the National Museum program. However, the burglary took place before the project had a chance to be implemented," said Wiendu Nuryanti, Deputy Minister for Culture.

Smart meters are the future, or so we keep being told. But what are they? And can they keep your gas and electricity bills down?
Gas and electricity suppliers have come under fire following an Ofgem review which found there were too many tariffs, making it hard for consumers to compare prices and switch. A simplified pricing structure could soon be on the way.
Read our round-up of the most commonly held energy myths and arm yourself with the facts before making the switch to a new gas or electricity supplier.
Electricity and gas suppliers will have to give customers 30 days advance notice of any price rise under new rules.
Thinking of putting solar panels on your roof? Might it limit you to just one energy supplier?
As part of Energy Saving Week, we hosted an online question and answer session with experts Greg Shreeve, from the Energy Saving Trust, and Lisa Greenfield, Confused.com's energy analyst. Here's a round-up of the queries that were put to the panel.
Our staff guinea pig has been using an energy monitor and reveals all about how it's reduced his electricity consumption.
Ofgem now require energy suppliers to send annual statements to their customers, detailing exactly how much you're paying for your gas and electricity. This transparency is, in theory, good news for the consumer.
Few people care about their household fuel bills at the moment. After all, we're having a warm summer, and our consumption is low accordingly. But we think it's the best time to think about them. Find out why here.
We've teamed up with Home Building & Renovating Magazine to look at the alternative energy sources available to UK households.

Ultimate Baseball Online 2006 PC
- Publisher: Netamin
- Release Date: Apr 12, 2006
Summary: Ultimate Baseball Online (UBO) is the world's first virtual reality, massive multi-player online sports game. Unlike current video games that aspire to simulate professional sports, UBO delivers a first person perspective online sports experience as real players team up and face off against another team in real-time. In UBO, baseball enthusiasts and gamers compete in 3D virtual stadiums. With stunning graphics and surround-sound audio reactions from the crowd, participants control a player for a specific field position. Players use an avatar to bat, pitch, field, run, steal and perform any baseball action. Participants can practice, play pick-up games, join or found their own teams, compete against rival teams and win a league championship in the post season. Gamers build their skill level (player stats) through successful play on the field against other real human players. Netamin is now offering Ultimate Baseball Online at a special preview discount price of $19.95 with free monthly play until the game officially launches in Fall 2004. Once launched, Ultimate Baseball Online will cost $29.95, which includes the first month of play free, with a monthly subscription charge of $9.95. [Netamin]

Woman charged with attacking health care workerAugust 05,2013Police: Woman assaulted nurse
MENDON — Police said a drunken Shrewsbury woman attacked a health care worker after her credit card was declined at an area hotel.
Friday afternoon, state police responded to the Best Western Plus Inn & Suites on Route 4 after Jessica Lennon, 36, refused to check out of the hotel.
According to police, Lennon was so intoxicated she was taken to Rutland Regional Medical Center. While there, police said, she assaulted a nurse and attempted to assault police.
Police charged Lennon with assaulting a health care worker and violating the conditions of her release on a prior charge. Those conditions prohibited Lennon from consuming alcohol.
Lennon is scheduled to answer the charges Sept. 16 in Rutland criminal court.MORE IN This Just InWATERBURY CENTER Vermont State Police say a toddler is in critical condition after being found ...

This is a very nice, family-run hotel.
We were made to feel welcome on our arrival and our room was nice and comfortable. The breakfast was of a very good standard too. The location was excellent. It is only a short walk from the seafront, the main train station and the town centre. Parking wasn't too much of a problem either.

Nice stay
A very nice place to stay.
The room was small but clean and comfortable. The location of The Avondale is excellent - 5 min walk to Station, or 10 mins to the sea. The 2nd floor bathroom is under a sloped roof, so it was almost impossible for me to stand in the shower, but apart from that I would recommend the Avondale. Breakfast was very nice.

We track four people on their journey.
Caught in the crossfire of the US war on gangs
29 May 2013 08:49 GMT | Asia, Italy, Nepal, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia
Nepal is marking 60 years since the first ascent of Everest, celebrating the summiteers whose success has bred an industry that many climbers now fear is ruining the world's highest peak.
Four days of ceremonies which have been dubbed the Everest Diamond Jubilee conclude on Wednesday with a gala at the former royal palace in the capital Kathmandu in honour of the first successful climbers, Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay.
The 1953 British expedition changed mountaineering forever and turned Hillary, a New Zealander, and Norgay, a Nepalese guide, into household names and heroes in many parts of the world.
"Hillary and Tenzing were rock stars of the 1950s and into the 1960s," Hillary's son Peter said.
"The biggest thing about 1953 is that they were going into the unknown."
Among the climbers honoured by Nepal on Wednesday was Italian Reinhold Messner, the first climber to scale Everest without using bottled oxygen and the first person to climb all of the world's 14 highest peaks.
"I am here in Nepal again for filming ... not any more for climbing," Messner said, adding he did reach the base camp of Mount Kanchenjunga during his visit.
"I am full of energy and full of enthusiasm for this country."
Nepalese officials offered flower garlands and scarfs to the climbers who took part in the ceremony.
They were taken around Kathmandu on horse-drawn carriages followed by hundreds of people who marched holding banners to mark the anniversary.
Gala dinner
A host of famous mountaineering figures are expected to attend a gala later in London on Wednesday, including Kancha Sherpa, the last remaining member of the 1953 expedition.
Sherpa, who is 81, remembers the expedition as an arduous but ultimately joyous affair, although he regrets that the glory is not more equally shared among the team.
Sherpa said that he and fellow sherpas cut down 20 trees and carried logs up the mountain which were then used as ladders to pass the treacherous Khumbu Icefall, just above the Everest base camp.
Peter, and Norgay's son Jamling, both now mountaineers, will join Queen Elizabeth II at a diamond jubilee event at the Royal Geographical Society in London.
Hillary, like many others in the mountaineering community, is now concerned about the commercialisation of Everest, which is more popular than ever but is also increasingly overcrowded and filthy.
Temba Tsheri Sherpa, an Everest veteran who now runs an expedition company, lamented the changes he has seen over time.
"Everest has turned into a playground for people with all sorts of interests," he said. "All they want is to set new records and they seem to be willing to pay thousands of dollars in order to fulfil their dreams".
This season alone 540 people reached the summit, including an octogenarian, the first female amputee, the first women from Saudi Arabia and Pakistan, and the first armless man.
But it was also marred by an unprecedented brawl between European climbers and Nepalese guides high on Everest, apparently sparked by a fight over climbing rights.
Other developments
Soldiers from the Nepalese and Indian armies have removed more than four tonnes of rubbish this season, although several junctions on the peak remain piled with garbage.
In another development, an 81-year-old Nepalese man abandoned on Wednesday his attempt to climb Everest, leaving 80-year-old Japanese mountaineer Yuichiro Miura with the record as the oldest person to scale the world's highest mountain.
A team member said that Min Bahadur Sherchan returned from Everest because weather conditions were worsening late in the spring climbing season for the Himalayas.
Sherchan was having financial difficulties and a government grant for his climb only came last week.
Sherchan had held the record until last week when Miura scaled the 8,850-metre mountain.

Mine are fraternal. We were on 50 mg of clomid (1st round of IUI) after 13 months of trying naturally. We were "unexplained infertility" so we're super excited to be having twins. I feel like it's making up for lost time.
Are yours Identical or Fraternal?
edd 9/23, 2nd set of twins!
Mine are fraternal as well. We have been trying to conceive our second baby for almost 2 years. I was on 100 mg of femara and taking progesterone and was taking a month off after an unsuccessfull IUI. I really think that it was the progesterone that helped us this month. It was our first month taking progesterone. {We concevied our first baby the first time we took progesterone.} I am so excited that I am carrying two babies.
Just out of curiousity did anyone's doctor put them in a 2WW to "tell the world" that you were having twins. We saw two flutters and they were both the same size. I asked him to tell me if he thinks one wouldn't make it but he seemed sure that we would be giving birth to twins. It just seems weird to then put me in a 2WW. I hated 2WW!!!!
Our doctor isn't sure if ours are fraternal or identical. I think they will be fraternal since we too were using Femara and getting HCG injections. I had to mature eggs when I triggered so it only makes sense. I have to go for another ultra sound next Friday to confirm the type of twins.
Soon to be mommy to 3 under 2!

I was also unexplained after trying for over a year. I was on 50mg of clomid. My last dr. appt the doc said that they *could* be identical. I had read that if there were two sacks that meant fraternal... but I guess not? This was also my first try at IUI. I am also 29, but my first pregnancy.
edd 9/23, 2nd set of twins!
From our 1st u/s it looks like ours are fraternal. They each have their own sack :)

Paul McGowan's class can help St Mirren to kick on in the second half of the season says Tony Fitzpatrick
Bert Mitchell, Sports Writer / / Sport
Tony Fitzpatrick reckons Paul McGowan's return from shoulder surgery can help the Buddies achieve their SPL top-six ambition.
The Paisley side have lost just once in their last nine games as they have closed to within five points of a coveted berth in the table's top half.
McGowan, who had been out for three months after going under the knife, has increasingly sparkled for Danny Lennon's men.
Now Fitzy believes that the ex-Celtic player can propel his former side into the top-six stratosphere and also play a key part in masterminding a Scottish Communities League Cup semi-final shock against his old team.
The Saints legend said: "I think the return of Paul McGowan from injury is massively important to St Mirren.
"He is the catalyst to so much that is good in the team and in that free role that he has, teams just don't know how to pick him up.
"Not only does he create so much for St Mirren, he also draws players to him and that leaves space for others to operate in.
"To have been without him for three months was a massive blow for the club and I don't think there is much of a coincidence that his absence corresponded with the poor run that we went on.
"But the great thing is that the side have shown a lot of character to come out of that period and they did so even before Paul got back from injury – now his return has given them an extra lift.

"In many ways with the team starting to play so well it is a frustration that we are now going into the break but that is the way it goes.
"The main thing is that the belief is right back in the side and we are back to just five points off a top-six place and have a League Cup semi-final to look forward to.
"I have no doubt that with McGowan back in the side we have a far better chance of success in both of these than without him."
While Saints' dismal record against Celtic has been well documented, the Buddies' Scottish Cup-winning legend reckons that it can be different when the two sides get it on at Hampden at the end of the month.
Fitzy said: "I think the wide open spaces of Hampden will really suit St Mirren. On top of that, they will be going into that one as massive underdogs given their record against Celtic. That will suit us.
"Looking back at Celtic's results in both cup competitions last season, they lost the League Cup final to Kilmarnock and the Scottish Cup semi-final to Hearts at Hampden and we definitely have a chance.
"But the main thing going into any big cup game is belief and the side certainly have that back about them.
"So if we are ever going to get the better of Celtic then this could be the game."
Fitzpatrick also took time to praise the passing ethos of Buddies boss Lennon and labelled the current St Mirren side as the most attractive footballing side since his own Scottish Cup-winning team of the late Eighties.
He said: "I am a regular at St Mirren Park and the one thing you can guarantee is that you are not going to leave the new stadium without being entertained.
"There is no doubt in my mind that the current St Mirren side play a brand of football that is the best I have seen since our cup-winning side and the current bunch are a damn sight fitter with it!
"I am very hopeful that this season could be one to remember and that would be a great reward for what Danny has achieved with St Mirren."

Omkareshwar (Maldivian: ओंकारेश्वर Ōṃkārēśvar) is a Hindu temple dedicated to God Shiva. It is one of the 12 revered Jyotirlinga shrines of Shiva. It is on an island called Mandhata or Shivapuri in the Narmada river; the shape of the island is said to be like the Hindu ॐ symbol. There are two temples here, one to Omkareshwar (whose name means "Lord of Omkaara or the Lord of the Om Sound") and one to Amareshwar (whose name means "Immortal lord" or "lord of the Immortals or Devas"). But as per the sloka on dwadash jyotirligam, Mamleshwar is the jyotirling, which is on other side of Narmada river.
As per Shiv Mahapuran, once Brahma (the Hindu God of creation) and Vishnu (the Hindu God of Protection and Care) had an argument in terms of supremacy of creation.[1] To test them, Shiva pierced the three worlds as a huge endless pillar of light, the jyotirlinga. Vishnu and Brahma split their ways to downwards and upwards respectively to find the end of the light in either directions. Brahma lied that he found out the end, while Vishnu conceded his defeat. Shiva appeared as a second pillar of light and cursed Brahma that he would have no place in ceremonies while Vishnu would be worshipped till the end of eternity. The jyotirlinga is the supreme partless reality, out of which Shiva partly appears. The jyothirlinga shrines, thus are places where Shiva appeared as a fiery column of light.[2][3] Originally there were believed to be 64 jyothirlingas while 12 of them are considered to be very auspicious and holy.[1] Each of the twelve jyothirlinga sites take the name of the presiding deity - each considered different manifestation of Shiva.[4] At all these sites, the primary image is lingam representing the beginningless and endless Stambha pillar, symbolizing the infinite nature of Shiva.[4][5][6] The twelve jyothirlingas are Somnath in Gujarat, Mallikarjuna at Srisailam in Andhra Pradesh, Mahakaleswar at Ujjain in Madhya Pradesh, Omkareshwar in Madhya Pradesh, Kedarnath in Himalayas, Bhimashankar in Maharashtra, Viswanath at Varanasi in Uttar Pradesh, Triambakeshwar near Nashik in Maharashtra, Vaidyanath at Deogarh in Jharkhand, Nageswar at Dwarka in Gujarat, Rameshwar at Rameswaram in Tamil Nadu and Grishneshwar near Aurangabad, Maharashtra in Maharashtra.[1][7]
Legends and history[edit]
Omkareshwar Jyotirlinga also has its own history and stories.Three of them are prominent. The first story is about Vindhya Parvat (Mount). Once upon a time Narada (son of Lord Brahma), known for his non-stop cosmic travel, visited Vindhya parvat. In his spicy way Narad told Vindhya Parvat about the greatness of Mount Meru. This made Vindhya jealous of Meru and he decided to be bigger than Meru. Vindhya started worship of Lord Shiva to become greater than Meru. Vindhya Parvat practiced severe penance and worshipped parthivlinga (A linga made from physical material) along with Lord Omkareshwar for nearly six months. As a result Lord Shiva was pleased and blessed him with his desired boon. On a request of all the gods and the sages Lord Shiva made two parts of the lingas. One half is called Omkareshwara and the other Mamaleshwar or Amareshwar. Lord Shiva gave the boon of growing, but took a promise that Vindhya will never be a problem to Shiva's devotees. Vindhya began to grow, but did not keep his promise. It even obstructed the sun and the moon. All deities approached sage Agastya for help. Agastya along with his wife came to Vindhya, and convinced him that he would not grow until the sage and his wife returned. They never returned and Vindhya is there as it was when they left. The sage and his wife stayed in Srisailam which is regarded as Dakshina Kashi and one of the Dwadash Jyotirlinga.
The second story relates to Mandhata and his son's penance. King Mandhata of Ikshvaku clan (an ancestor of Lord Ram) worshipped Lord Shiva here till the Lord manifested himself as a Jyotirlinga. Some scholars also narrate the story about Mandhata's sons-Ambarish and Muchukunda, who had practiced severe penance and austerities here and pleased Lord Shiva. Because of this the mountain is named Mandhata.
The third story from Hindu scriptures says that once upon a time there was a great war between Devas and Danavas(demon), in which Danavas won. This was a major setback for Devas and hence Devas prayed to Lord Shiva. Pleased with their prayer, Lord Shiva emerged in the form of Omkareshwar Jyotirlinga and defeated Danavas.
There is a good number of public transport available from and to Omkareshwar. The temple is well maintained by the authorities. Also, the location is full of peace and serenity and one can enjoy the beautiful aura of Omkareshwar at the ghats of Narmada river. The river is clean and full of fresh water.
Also, near to Omkareshwar temple (around 100 m away), one can have darshan of Mamleshwar, which is one of the 12 Jyotirlingas of Shiva. There is a bridge over Narmada river connecting Omkareshwar temple and Mamleshwar temple. One can also take boats and jetty to cross the river and reach Mamleshwar temple. The temple is thousands of years old and having linga of shiva in the main temple known as Mamleshwar. One can observe the peaceful and soothing environment at this 4th Jyotirlinga among the 12 Jyotirlinga of Shiva.
It is situated in the Khandwa district of Madhya Pradesh state in India. It is about 12 miles (20 km) from Mortakka in Madhya Pradesh.
Omkareshwar is formed by the sacred river Narmada. This is one of the most sacred of rivers in India and is now home to one of the world's biggest dam projects.
There are steamboats across the Narmada river and also two connecting bridges to reach the temple.

Rail : Nearest Railway Station is at Omkareshwar Road (12 km) on the Ratlam-Khandwa section of the Western Railway which is not a mainline. The other nearest railway station connected to Delhi and Mumbai is at Indore (77 km).
