N. Sama Iyengar (1891-1978) was a jurist in old Mysore state in India. He was born in the village of Sargur in Chamarajanagar district in Karnataka, India in 1891. His early life was an unusually difficult one. He lost his father at the age of three when he was killed by a bear in the thick forests surrounding Sargur. He was brought up as an only child by his handicapped mother who was deaf-mute. Despite these circumstances Sama Iyengar went on to study in Maharaja's college in Mysore and then to law college in Bombay. He returned to legal service in Mysore state. After appointments in various towns in Karnataka including Kolar, Chikmagalur, Tumkur, etc, he was appointed as Registrar of the Mysore High court in Bangalore by Darcy Reilly, the last serving British Chief Justice. Sama Iyengar retired as District and Sessions judge. He was an active member of the Theosophical Society including hearing Annie Besant speak and attending their annual conventions in Adyar, Madras. Sama Iyengar lived most of his later life in Mysore with neighbors that included the philosopher M. Hiriyanna and the family of R. K. Narayan.

While waiting to meet her friends outside of a Louis Vuitton store, Ayas cell phone is eaten by the Louis Vuitton panda, who then promptly swallows Aya but the inside of his stomach is gateway to a psychadelic wonderland.

Shenandoah Acres was a resort in Stuarts Draft, Virginia, United States, that billed itself as "America's Finest Inland Beach". The Acres closed in 2004 and was subsequently purchased by the Eavers, a local business family.
The most visible aspect of Shenandoah Acres was its lake, which was a small, spring-fed lake that was unique for its use of playground equipment in the water. In addition, Shenandoah Acres featured a campground, horseback rides, and miniature golf.
History
Originally, Shenandoah Acres was a farm consisting of orchards, and a cranberry bog encircling a small pond. The cranberry bog was well known by botanists as a location for several rare plants and orchids including the rose pogonia and grass pink orchids. In the Journal Claytonia, the botanist Lloyd Carr described the pond as a sea of pink when the orchids were in bloom. The cranberry bog was one of a series of sinkhole ponds and wetlands in the Maple Flats area; perhaps the only one remaining with a similar flora is Spring Pond. After the bog was destroyed to create Shenandoah Acres, many of the rare species once found there are now extinct in Augusta County.
Dr. William Dodge charged visitors ten cents to swim and picnic on his property in the 1930's. The property was purchased by the Blacka family in 1935.
