La India

"'''La India'''" (born '''Linda Viera Caballero''' on [[March 9]], [[1970]] in [[San Juan, Puerto Rico|Rio Piedras, Puerto Rico]]) is a noted [[singer]] of [[Salsa music|salsa]] also known as the "Princess of Salsa".
[[Image:LaIndia.jpg|right|150px|thumb|'''La India''']]
Linda's parents decided to move to [[New York]] soon after her birth. Upon their arrival, they settled down in the [[Bronx|South Bronx]] and lived with her grandmother. Linda's grandmother had an important influence on her life because she was a very strong willed lady and Linda looked up to her. Linda went to school and received her elementary education in the Bronx. During her grade school she met and became friends with Louie Vega. Vega introduced her to the urban street music scene where she learned to appreciate the [[Hip hop music|hip hop]] style of the day.

Linda's features and long Black hair when straigtened, earned her the nickname "India" by her grandmother. In [[1985]], when Linda was 14 years old, she signed as back-up singer for the [[Freestyle music|Latin Hip Hop]] group [[TKA]] and scored a number one hit with "''I Can't Get No Sleep''". She was under the tutelage of [[John Jellybean Benitez|John "Jellybean" Benitez]], a [[Puerto Rican]] [[DJ]] who was once involved with [[Madonna (entertainer)|Madonna]]. She also contributed backing vocals on Jellybean's Club Hit "''Mirage''". She later had her own Freestyle classic single "''Dancing on the fire".'' Linda was also a part time model.

In [[1990]], when she was 19 years old, Linda married her friend from grade school, Louie Vega who then went by the name of "Little" Louie Vega. "Little" Louie was then a DJ and record producer. Before marrying "Little" Louie, Linda had a record contract with [[Warner Bros.]], who planned on making her the "Latin" Madonna. After recording "''Breaking Night''", Linda decided that she didn't want to take that route in her career.

Things changed one day for Linda while she was at her husbands studio singing. Salsa band leader [[Eddie Palmieri]] happened to visit the studio and was impressed with what he heard. In [[1992]], Palmieri produced Linda's first [[Spanish language|Spanish]] salsa album "''Llego La India via Eddie Palmieri''" (The India has Arrived via Eddie Palmieri) which was acclaimed as one of the best salsa albums of the year.

Linda was now known to all as "La India". In [[1994]], La India together with Vega recorded an album of salsa dance tunes which paid tribute to "[[Santeria]]" titled "''Yemaya y Ochun''". La India's involvement with [[Santeria]], a syncretic [[religion]] based in the Caribbean, bothered many people and therefore she was criticized by many. She later recorded "''Dicen Que Soy''" (They Say that I Am) which was a top Billboard Hit and where La India states that she doesn't care what others think of her.

In [[1996]], La India worked with [[Tito Puente]] in the production of "''Jazzin''" the [[English language|English]] version of some swing classics with a Latin twist for "RMM Records". She sang "''Voces Unidas''" (United Voices) in a duet with [[Marc Anthony]]. She also released "''India:Mega Mix''" that same year before divorcing Vega. La India also sang a duet, "''La Voz de la Experiencia''" (The Voice of Experience), with [[Celia Cruz]], "The Queen of Salsa". It was then that Celia named La India "''The Princess of Salsa''".

In [[1997]], La India recorded "''Sobre el Fuego''" (Over the Fire) with Puerto Rican salsa singer [[Kevin Ceballo]] as back-up, and was nominated for the "Best Latin Tropical Performance" [[Grammy Award]] and in [[1998]] she won an ACE Award.

On [[May 31]], 1998 La India had two sold out concerts at the [[Luis A. Ferre]] Center of Beautiful Arts in San Juan, Puerto Rico. She returned to the [[United States]] where Cable Channel UPN aired one of her shows. La India also held concerts in New York's [[Madison Square Garden]] and in El Festival de la Calle Ocho in [[Miami, Florida]].

On [[February 5]], [[2000]], a full page ad was placed in [[Billboard Magazine]] congratulating her on her second Grammy Award nomination. On March 2000, she was featured on Vibe Magazine. Among La India's reocrdings are the following:

Piper PA-16

[[Image:Pa16clipper.jpg|thumb|250px|Piper PA-16 Clipper]]
The '''Piper PA-16 Clipper''' is an extended fuselage model of the [[Piper Vagabond|PA-15 Vagabond]]. Both models were designed in 1947 for the same reason - Piper Aircraft found itself in dire financial straits and needed to create new, competitive models using existing parts and tooling. The result was the Vagabond, essentially a side-by-side version of the [[tandem]] [[Piper J-3|J-3 Cub]] that is credited with saving the company! [http://www.flymuseum.dk/sprog/engelsk/UKfly/PA-16.html]

The PA-16 Clipper is a stretched and refined version of the Vagabond intended to seat four people (or "two-and-a-half to three" as often told by Clipper pilots). It is equipped with an extra wing tank, added doors to accommodate the new seating, and a [[Lycoming O-235]], the same engine that would later power the [[Cessna 152]] and the [[Piper Pacer|PA-22-108 Colt]], itself essentially a Vagabond with a nosewheel. The PA-16 Clipper retained the control sticks that had up to that point been common in aircraft derived from the "Cub" family.

In 1949, the Clipper sold for $2995. The average four place airplane on the market at that time cost over $5000. Fewer than 800 Clippers were built in the one year of production before Piper changed to the [[Piper PA-20 Pacer]].

[[Pan Am]] Airlines, who traditionally called its famous luxury airliners "Clippers", took offense at Piper using the name for their light aircraft. As a result of this pressure Piper further refined the model, adding wing flaps, further fuel tanks and replaced the control sticks with yokes. A more powerful [[Lycoming O-320]] 150 hp engine was installed and this model became the [[Piper PA-20 Pacer]].[http://www.flymuseum.dk/sprog/engelsk/UKfly/PA-16.html]

'''Allenstown House''' was a large 5-bay, 4 storey [[Georgian architecture|Georgian]] [[mansion]] in [[County Meath]], [[Ire[[Image:Ceiling cat 00.jpg]]land]]. It was built in the [[1730s]].

It was owned by the Waller family. In the late [[1930s]] the house and estate were bought by the [[Irish Land Commission]]. The lands were broken up and sold. The house, though of architectural and historical significance, was controversially demolished in [[1938]].
