Batman: Arkham Origins is Revealed [VIDEO]
Hold on to your cowls, Batfans, because Batman: Arkham Origins will be coming to consoles later this year!
Game Informer just revealed that their May issue will be focused on Batman: Arkham Origins and how Rocksteady Studios has passed the torch to Warner Bros. Games Montreal to craft the next Arkham adventure.
For those of you worrying that the game won't have the same feel of Rocksteady's Batman games, it should offer you some sort of relief to know that WB Montreal will be using a custom modified Unreal engine, so that things should be somewhat familiar.
The game will feature a story that takes place during Batman's salad days, back when he first met the villains who would go on to become the stars of his infamous Rogues' Gallery.
According to Game Informer, the game will be released on October 25th, 2013 for the Wii U, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PC.
Are you excited for this new chapter in the Arkham mythos? Let us know!

This is the last thing that Pakistan Cricket need right at the moment. I hope there is no solid proof that Akhtar and Asif have taken drugs that are illegal under cricket's laws because Asif has his whole career ahead of him and Akhtar is a great player who could do without this sort of publicity.

If this is true (and that of course remains to be seen) the real test is for the PCB. Do they submit the internal test to the governing body and the players then take the ramifications, or do they handle it "in-house"? If the latter, what penalties do they impose?

What a surreal couple of months this has been. All we need now is for all of our players to be implicated in the match fixing. Then I suppose we could start anew with a whole new crop of players with untarnished records.

Tragedy for world cricket if B sample confirms it.
Until such time, no-one should jump to any conclusions
Interesting that the newpaper piece states "performance enhancing" while cricinfo just mentions "banned substance".
I don't particularly care if they like a bit of green in their time off.
Maybe a subtle hint from Malcolm Speed about cricket being a sport where there's more trouble with people taking drugs to get back from injury quicker i.e. both of them have been off long-term?
Anyway, all conjecture and no foundation yet.
As social says, got to wait for the B samples to come through. A shocker no matter what happens from here.

E-mail conference on
(You can now read the proceedings of the conference on the proceedings page.)
Welcome to the Homepage of the E-mail conference on small-scale milk collection and processing in developing countries which has been hosted by the FAO Livestock Products team, Animal Production Service from 29 May 2000 until 28 July 2000. The key objectives of the conference were to:
The E-mail conference has managed to bring together 577 stakeholders from 97 countries who have actively participated in the conference and provided some very interesting and valuable accounts of experiences in their countries. 69 percent of the participants were from or working in developing countries. 29 percent of the participants contributed actively.
The feedback provided by participants will be one of the key reference points for guiding the short and medium term plans and activities of the Animal Production and Health Division of the Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) in dairy development. The conference proceedings are currently in print and will be used as the base document for a series of regional technical workshops are planned in South America, Africa, and Asia in 2001.
We invite you to the papers and comments section to read the background documents of this conference, and the comments for the views of participants.

Jerry Jones spared no expense when he built Cowboys Stadium.
Now, North Texas football fans, Cheeseheads and thousands from the Steeler Nation are sparing no expense to see the Super Bowl in the NFL's grandest venue.
You won't be able to step foot inside the stadium for less than $1,750 -- and that doesn't even get you a reserved seat, just a standing-room only ticket.
Sports Connection
Connecting you to your favorite North Texas sports teams as well as sports news around the globe.
Even Party Plaza tickets aren't coming cheap.
Fans who buy Party Plaza passes will be on Cowboys Stadium premises to soak up the atmosphere, but they'll watch the game outside on a big screen. The NFL priced those tickets at $200, but many ticket brokers websites are selling them for upward of $300.
If you don't want to stand up for hours on end, a reserved seat in the nosebleed section in a corner of the stadium will cost you $2,500.
If you choose the upper-level seats, you'll still have a great view ... of the world's largest HD screen, which is 180 feet long and 72 feet tall.
Lower level seats cost upward of $8,000, and if money is no object, you can buy a suite for more than $135,000.
"There's a lot of demand, and it's only going to continue to increase as the game gets closer," said Hank Wendorf, owner of Ticketsource.com.
But the NFL, consumer watchdogs, ticket brokers and police are already warning people about ticket scammers.
"There is no doubt there will be counterfeit tickets for the this game in and around North Texas because of the value," Wendorf said.
The NFL has made the coveted Super Bowl tickets some of the hardest to replicate. They have several security features that scammers will find difficult to recreate.
Legitimate Super Bowl tickets will have heat-sensitive ink on the back, a high-gloss varnish and a raised, embossed Super Bowl logo in high-quality silver foil.
"There's a watermark on the back of the ticket with the NFL logo, and there's a hologram on the back of the ticket with the Super Bowl logo," Wendorf said.
The Better Business Bureau of Dallas suggests fans buy from a brick-and-mortar business in person or a from a trusted website and use a protected credit card so there is a paper trail.
The BBB said sellers wanting buyers to pay with a wire transfer is a red flag.
"Sometimes you'll see an online ad that says, 'Wire the money. Go down to Western Union right away,' and that's a favorite method for scammers to use," BBB spokeswoman Jeanette Kopko said.
The bottom line is, there are no "cheap seats" for the Super Bowl.
"Knowing what the prices are -- usually if you have the opportunity to buy tickets, and it seems too good to be true, it probably is," Wendorf said.

Q: We have a lot of mosquitoes, especially near the pond. With the recent concern over the Zika virus, what can I do to fix this?
Kym – Lake Butler, FL
A: Your concern is justified. According to the CDC, mosquitoes – specifically the Aedes species (Ae. Aegypti and Ae. Albopictus) – are one of the main transmitters of the Zika virus. The bite of an infected mosquito can cause fever, rash, joint pain, conjunctivitis and other unpleasant side effects.
Mosquitoes should be eradicated from your property – and here are six ways to decimate their population.
- Create Water Movement. Ever notice how mosquitoes avoid moving water as much as possible? This is because the movement isn't conducive to their life cycle. A female mosquito lays her eggs in stagnant water that's full of nutritious algae, plankton, fungi and bacteria. When the eggs hatch, the larvae and pupae thrive and grow, developing into adult mosquitoes that perpetuate the population. Stop that cycle with aeration. The water movement created by the pumped-in oxygen creates an inhospitable environment for the mosquitoes while promoting your pond's overall health.
- Check for Standing Water. An old tire, ceramic flower pot, cracked bucket – mosquitoes aren't particular about the vessel of standing water they use to lay their eggs. If it holds stagnant water and contains some type of food source, it's fair game. The CDC recommends a once-a-week check for standing water around your property. Empty containers, scrub them clean, and turn them over or cover them to reduce your overall mosquito population.
- Eliminate Food Source. Developing larvae and pupae need algae to fuel their rapid growth to adulthood, and so another way to reduce their population is to reduce their food source. In your pond or lake, use algaecide to remove suspended plant matter and muck reducers to break down detritus on the bottom of your pond.
- Trim Shoreline Vegetation. Unlike their developing larvae, adult mosquitoes live in the plants and vegetation along the pond's shoreline. Evict those pests by clearing out and trimming back grasses and aquatic weeds. Use some herbicide to kill aquatic weeds and grasses, and use weed removal tools, like a weed cutter, rake and debris skimmer, and remove the dead plants and overgrowth.
- Boost Fish Population. Fish and other mosquito-eating pond life, like tadpoles, minnow, bass, bluegill and catfish, love gobbling those mosquito larvae and pupae. If you don't already have a fish population living in your lake, consider adding some! The American Mosquito Control Association, in fact, recommends adding predacious minnows or native fish to lakes and ponds for biological control of the insects.
- Keep Unused Standing Water Bug-Free. Despite your best efforts, it can be impossible to completely eradicate mosquitoes in places with standing water – like around a pond or lake. Likewise, vessels like stored rainwater, water troughs and even bird feeders can become a breeding ground for mosquitoes. So what can you do? Consider mosquito dunks or bits. These handy little disks or bits contain a specially formulated biological pesticide designed to kill mosquito larvae. You simply toss them in unused bodies of water and let them go to work.
Zika and other mosquito-borne diseases are a real concern. Plus, all that buzzing can be annoying when you're trying to enjoy your pond or lake during the warm days of summer. Use these tips to keep your yard mosquito-free – and your family and friends happy and healthy.

Among the various components of a submarine pipeline, the vertical section known as a riser is critical to managing the pipeline. This section connects the piping that runs along the bottom of the sea with the floating production platform.
Hung on the platform in deep waters, the risers are subject to extreme operational conditions such as high loads and subsea currents. Corrosion, fatigue, wear, and third-party dam age have to be taken into account to avoid compromising oil and gas production. The flexible pipeline, a solution used in the majority of riser installations, provides high reliability and low maintenance. However, despite advances in design and installation, riser inspection does not comply with operator requirements.
The basic system concept of an autonomous underwater riser inspector (AURI) uses the riser as a guide. The AURI controls its own speed and is designed to transport various types of screening devices. The first AURI was designed to perform a visual inspection with a codified photographic system covering 100 percent of an external riser's surface. It was the first robot in the world to independently inspect oil pipeline platforms.
The System Prototype
The AURI was created to completely inspect the riser from the touchdown point surface, which is the end of the catenary curve near the sea bottom. Once the tool starts, it inspects without human assistance, automatically returning to the surface when the mission is complete. The AURI is independent in energy supply and control requirements. As there are no cables, the vehicle operates in deep waters (1,000 m) and ultradeep waters (3,000 m). The AURI uses the riser as a guideline, making the tool immune to streams of water.
The first AURI prototype can reach depths of up to 1,000 m. It uses two electric propellers to move along the riser, and possesses various security mechanisms for tool recovery in case of a fault in the system to minimize the chance of pipeline damage.
The mission is defined as the maximum depth to inspect, and is complete when one of the following conditions is reached: (1) the depth sensor achieves the maximum pressure, (2) the race length is achieved, (3) the system exceeds maximum mission duration, or (4) the inclinometer detects maximum inclination. Thanks to its positive buoyancy, the AURI always returns to the surface, even if the electronic system fails or the batteries are depleted.
System Hardware
The first challenge was designing a mechanism with wheels to guide the vehicle through the riser while adapting to diameter changes, swelling, and obstacles. This mechanism also needed to be easy for a diver to open for installation and recovery. The AURI chassis had to be strong enough to bear the weight of all electromechanical pieces and the water stream (which should be weak to prevent any risk to the riser) during the mission. Breaking points were added to ensure a predictable failure in case the AURI chassis became stuck between the riser and the sea bottom.
To obtain positive buoyancy, special floats were designed using high-density resin with glass beads. The floats were molded on top of a structure made of aluminum and covered with thin plates of glass fiber. The floats were incorporated into the vehicle's structural elements, maintaining a lower density of less than one. The structural elements are carbon fiber bars that unite the floats and form a structural fuselage.

how can I tell if the amp is bad or not? Some of the speakers crackel and some dont.. It seems to cut out at times and I thought the speakers where blown but now I just dont know.. I dont want to go buy replacement speakers since people say the stocks are pretty good. I also dont get much if any bass from the subs under the rear seats. I was thinking about replacing them with some rockford shallow 8's. Input is appreciated!!!
Hey paper. That was a great fine on the logic seven repair. I tried to go on the Russian link that you included in the forum but I was in able to translate . However the repair was a success.

Does anyone know a good place in NYC that does repairs to the logic 7 amp?
Nice information!
My AMP finally blew tonight.... Well at least I think it has, my idrive has been playing up intermittently every now and then for a month or so.
Tonight I got in the car and there is music playing but only for a second, then stops for a second then plays for a second etc... at very low volume and crackly. music only come out the front door speakers.
The idrive keeps reverting back to the radio menu, the TV functions dont work it wont select a channel, I can select ipod tracks with a few attempts but they wont play unless you keep trying! and the ASK wont play CD's! Also the MMI wont shut off after I have removed they key!
INPA cannot communicate with the AMP so im assuming thats the issue? It sounds more serious than just the capacitors or amplifier IC's going down and more like the actual MOST interface itself is rebooting. Or could the AMP be rebooting as one of the caps are short and its PSU is overloading and trying to restart?
Will pull it out and loop the MOST bus and see if it is indeed the problem!
Pulled the AMP last night, looped the fibre bus and idrive is now working correctly and I have sound again! (Sounds completely crap as expected!)
Anyway took the amp apart to see if I could identify anything obvious.
Caps don't look suspect visually, which I kind of expected as it was working perfectly up to the point when it suddenly failed.
I will get the caps on the ESR tester at work to confirm if they are good or not.
Interestingly the amp has already been replaced at least once, this one was made in Q1 of 2006.
Upon closer inspection the amplifier PCB shows evidence of water damage, this has caused corrosion between the pins of the IDC board connector.
The symptoms I am having is resetting of the MOST bus every second or so, with audio only coming out of the speakers driven by the ASK unit (front door mids and tweeters, and the rear mids) also after removing the key from the ignition the MMI will stay powered and not shut down.
The amp is constantly interrupting the MOST bus as if the MOST controller is continually resetting. This leads me to believe the amplifier part is ok and it's a control issue, which almost certainly means a new amp!
I have been inspecting the controller PCB and I have noticed a Maxim watchdog/brown-out supervisor IC, I'm wondering if this is what's resetting the controller every second because of a low supply voltage condition possibly caused by the corrosion on the board connector?
I will power it up on the bench and get a scope on it see what's going on tomorrow, clean up the corrosion and hope it sorts it out!
I will update on progress for those of you interested, may be useful for some of you.

Thanks PAPER,
I have cleaned the board up but no luck as yet. One of the processors is not kicking the watchdog so it keeps resetting.
The reason for this is either a duff processor or a fault elsewhere on the board. There is a MOSFET on the amplifier card that's getting very hot, (in my first pic of the PCB its the one on the lower left in the corner) it looks like its controlled by the processor card and is used to power the amplifier up once the processor card has been woken up by the MOST bus.
I'm guessing there is a fault elsewhere with either of the amplifier ICs that's drawing excessive current. Examination with a thermal camera has yet to determine anything.
Pretty gutted really, seems I've been really unlucky and got a much more serious problem. It won't be as simple as replacing caps and amplifiers as I had hoped!

Sorry to hear cleaning didn't solve your problem .
Keep us posted on your progress

Right then....
Been messing around with this at lunchtime today, removed all inductors and capacitors from the amplifier card to eliminate anything there.
I fired the amp up and still a fair bit of current being drawn, reset line on processor card still being pulled low by the watchdog IC every 1.2 seconds.
Decided to have a poke around the board with the scope, noticed the processors were doing "something" so tried the thermal camera on the processor card.
Noticed the EEPROM cooking itself! Checked the 5V rail and found it to be over 9V!
Anyway long story short... The component getting hot on the amplifier card in the corner was the MOSFET for the 5V power supply. When I originally started testing the card the output voltage from the MOSFET circuit was 12V, I didn't think this was abnormal. Little did I know it should have been 5V!
Luckily the three processors and RAM all run on 3.3V and have not been over voltaged.
I therefore tried running the processor card from a separate 5V bench supply.
This provided some hopeful results, the processor is now kicking the watchdog IC and it's no longer resetting every second or so.
I will investigate whats going on with the 5V supply and take it from there.
There is a slim chance it's repairable if the EEPROMS are not damaged. (I don't have the code, and I can't imagine it's easy to get hold of!)

VERY NICE !!! Glad you have a clue of what it might be . I hope it all turns out
good & repairable for you . Must be Nice to have all those tools at work
As I recall you made yourself a bench tester for the MMI also
( that's a great helpful tool you made , I need to try & find some time to make
a bench tester or even buy 1 if I can find 1 for sale . Some 1 was selling 1 they
made last year but I contacted him to late
Thanks PAPER,
Yeah it has its benefits, most of this car is electronics so im comfortable with that!
Im busy reverse engineering the entire amplifier card, I'm tempted to re-lay the PCB and fit the replacement TDA8563 and TDA1562 amplifiers properly, been playing around quickly and it looks pretty straightforward. Could even design in some proper heat sinking and cooling or fit some higher powered amps for the subs!
Will think about doing that if I can fix my amp! one step at a time! Hopefully the EEPROMS aren't completely fried! I may be begging for someone to read the code from the IC's for me!
The test box thing is great, been running the webasto park heater with it in the garage, works well.
Thats interesting, be nice to know what that one was like compared to mine, Ideally it would be best to fit a used CAS if I can find one cheap enough! so I can start coding modules too.
The unit was small & had a few options .
Oh & he had a CAS hooked up to it . Not
Sure what else as everything was in a housing ,
But he did say it was used to code modules .
As I recall 1 pic had a cluster hooked up &
Another had an MMI

Hi Paper,
Yeah I will try and get hold of an old CAS or working LM, I guess he's using the CAS to 'wake' modules. I just send the terminal status CAN message using an arduino and CAN shield.
Anyway, I am still working on this! I have been busy reverse engineering the amplifier card to try and work out what has failed.
Here is the schematic I have drawn of the power supply and control part of the amplifier card:
It roughly works like this:
Constant battery voltage regardless of ignition status is present at T1, Q1 and pin 2 of the ribbon cable connector.
When the optical bus is woken, the previous module transmits light to the amplifier, the circuit on the processor card 'wakes' the amplifier (more on that later) by pulling pin 15 of the ribbon cable connector to ground/0V.
When this happens T5 switches battery voltage through two resistors (R14 & R17) and to the zener diode D3 which regulates the voltage to 10V. This now switches on Q1 the main power MOSFET.
Q1 now switches on and the output quickly tries to reach the battery voltage, however D2 starts conducting at around 5V, this switches on T6 which in turn tries to switch off Q1, this has now formed a regulator. This is what generates the 5V for the processor card.
T6 was shorted so the regulator circuit didn't work. I have replaced T6 and I now have 5.1V!
More to come...
T1, T2, T3 and T8 appear to form part of a protection circuit, I'm sot sure exactly, I haven't been clever enough to work it out yet, analogue electronics is not my expertise!
The circuit is connected to the MOSFET's on the output stage by the main connector.
The amplifier card receives pre-amplified analog audio from the processor card via the ribbon cable.
I have powered the amplifier card up without the processor card and it fires up OK when pin 15 is pulled low, all looking good.
However connecting the processor card it seems to be powered up all the time! Measuring pin 15 and its pulled low all the time.
Inspecting the processor card pin 15 is pulled low by the circuit highlighted and labeled '7' in the image below:
Circuit - Description
1 - 4 channel digital to analogue audio converter, this surprisingly only appears to be controlling/decoding the center speaker! audio wise anyway.
2 - 4 channel digital to analogue audio converter, also appears to be controlling the fibre interface.
5+6 - Static RAM
7 - 'Wake Up' circuit and schmitt trigger inverter, possibly to filter MOST data and send to processor (2)
8 - DSP (Digital signal processor) this performs the decoding of the digital audio data to determine which channel the sound comes from.
9 - System clock circuit, this generates the timing for all three processors.
10 - This is a DC-DC voltage converter, it supplies + and - supplies to the pre-amplifiers 12 and 13.
11 - Watchdog and brown-out supervisor IC, this is the IC resetting the processors every 1.2 seconds.
12 - Audio pre-amplifier, IC on the right is the pre-amp for the subwoofers, the IC on the left is the pre-amp for the rear door speakers.
13 - Audio pre amplifier for the center speaker.
14 - I2C serial EEPROM, My guess is this stores the current equaliser settings that you set using the idrive.
The IC next to 14, is an I2C temperature sensor, its output drives the fan circuit on the amplifier card. The fan circuit is a mess, one forum stated that the fan speed increases with volume, I cant see that being the case, the advised fix if this is faulty tells you to fit entirely the wrong type/gender transistor!
The circuit was covered in a green sticky glue, I removed that and immediately smelled something burned!
I found the transistor labeled '1BW' looking a bit crispy, this is the transistor that pulls pin 15 to ground to switch the amplifier on when it receives the optical data.
The transistor was short causing the amplifier to be powered all the time, this may be why the idrive wouldn't shut down when the key was removed and kept the car awake!
It looks as though some over voltage or surge condition has occurred and damaged a number of components/circuits on both boards. Im still hopeful this can be repaired!
Anyway I replaced the transistor and the amp now shuts down and powers up only when light is present at the fibre connector.
Processor is still resetting every second or so when powered up. Interesting, when running the processor card from only 5V and 3.3V it seems to work OK and the processors are running.
I suspect some feedback from the amplifier card is shutting it down or there is something up with the 12V rail on the processor card.

For those of you following...
I have been playing around with this again today, to cut a long story short the amplifier card power supply circuit works ok now after the regulator repair.
However the processor card has still been resetting, I have been playing around checking address lines and data lines on the processor marked '1' in my previous post and suddenly the card started working again.
Probing the board with the scope in the area of the RAM IC (5 in the picture above) seems to fix it, it looks like a dry solder joint fixed by slight pressure of the probe on the board or the added capacitive influence of the scope probe wiring on one of the address lines stabilises it.
The amp stayed powered up for at least two minutes with a torch aimed at the fibre connector!
The picture below shows the processor (2 in the photo) kicking the watchdog IC (11 in the photo) every 976.8 micro seconds, that's basically 1000 times a second! The watchdog will wait a maximum of 1.2 seconds before resetting the processors if no pulse is received from the processor.
I will investigate what exactly is causing the board to 'fix' itself, I'm hoping its a dry joint or corrosion under the RAM IC that I can clean and touch up with a soldering iron.
Anyway will have another look tomorrow, I hope to report some good news and get some bass back in the 7 pretty soon!

Well... Things started looking up! But... I noticed following further testing that some of the address lines between the processor, EEPROM and RAM were held low during some power-ups on random occasions. Sometimes the address lines would work intermittently, or do nothing for several power-ups. This became more and more frequent, I tried freezer spray on areas of the board to see if that changed things.
Spraying freezer spray onto the processor instantly makes it start working, sadly this points to the processor (1 in my picture above) itself being at fault. Pretty annoying, however being determined to fix this to save myself the cost of a new AMP I tried some other things as I have nothing to lose now.
Considering the failure of the main power supply regulator circuit and the subsequent over voltage of the 5V rail I started again with the EEPROMs, they seem to be working as some code is being read so that CPU kicks the watchdog. I removed the EEPROM labelled 3 in the picture and tested again, The address lines now have clean signals on them and I have tried 30+ power-ups using the fibre port and cycling the main power supply and it works perfectly every time.
Im wondering wether the EEPROM is heavily loading the processor address or data lines causing it to hang or over current or the chip select and output enable function of the EEPROM is not working and its writing data when the processor or RAM is trying to. Hopefully the EEPROM may be readable using a bench programmer, fingers crossed and I will program a new one.
Otherwise I will be on here begging for someone to read the code for me!
I have pulled the EEPROMS and managed to successfully read the code from them.
To my surprise I've had the EEPROM code on my laptop all along! The E65 data folder containing all the software for flashing modules in WinKFP has the amplifier software hidden away!
I have managed to extract the binaries from the files and successfully match them up with the HEX data pulled from the EEPROMS. I have used a program to compare the data to see if the data in the EEPROMS are damaged. Converting some of the HEX lines of code reveals the same software version and build date, however there are a few very minor differences....
You can see on line two that the first byte is 55 in the EEPROM, but it should be FF as shown from the disassembled winKFP file. Also address 105 has 16 bytes different, oddly the EEPROM just has 07 in every location, the other EEPROM is the same in that respect.
The rest of the file is identical, there are 208 pages comparing a total of 128 thousand bytes, would be time consuming doing that manually!
Anyway there is one exception, the winKFP file only has data at the beginning and very end of the EEPROM, there is a huge empty block in the middle, however most of this is occupied on the EEPROM, the reason for this appears to be a holding space for updating software, when you try and update the amp software using winKFP it will load the data to the free space an once all the data has been transferred correctly and the checksums match the amp will reboot and copy that data to the start of the EEPROM, this is the application code. The code at the end off the EEPROM I think is the boot loader. Anyway now I've sussed out the EEPROM software I'm going to flash some new EEPROMS and hope for the best!
I'm after a favour though, the newer amps don't have the epoxy covered processors, but have proper packages, does anyone have a picture of the newer amplifier PCB's or know the part number written on the processors?

Bhutan:Somewhere over the rainbow...
Happy Birthday Maddy!! Rohan Sippy and Madhavan were just such cool guys to conduct a session with - knowledgeable,charming, sure of their craft. And mainly, no Bollywood airs or sho-sha. Just regular guys who know what the hell they are doing - and do it well. I didn't particularly like 'Dum Maro Dum' and said so in print. But did Rohan sulk and take idiotic personal pot shots? Naaah! He's educated, you see! Ditto for Maddy, who behaved like just another delegate.
I have several Bhutan images - Mt. Everest included!! All I need is some rah rah encouragement from you.... and I shall promptly oblige. Remember - you were warned!
Oh.... the link is the Sunil Sethi interview for NDTV's long-running show - Just Books.
Found it.....
The Yellow Brick Road leading from the airport at Paro to Thimphu, in Bhutan witnessed a strange sight last week, as the local Wizard ( Indian Ambassador Pavan Varma) played host to Tin Men, Scarecrows and several Dorothys who descended on the comparatively tiny( 38,394 square kilometers) kingdom hoping to pass off as heavy-duty writers, thinkers and intellectuals at the third edition of a Lit Fest, appropriately titled 'Mountain Echoes'. Well, there were fascinating Bhutan-India Echoes at the three day jamboree that was inaugurated by Bhutan's beauteous Queen Mother Ashi Dorji Wangmo Wangchuk. At 57, she is astonishingly youthful, energetic and charming, besides being an author of two well received books that reflect her concerns for the kingdom that is slowly but surely getting seduced by a world that has so far seen Bhutan only as an exoticised Shangri La. Or more accurately, some vague La-La land of chanting monks and medieval practices. The gorgeous Queen Mum decided to do something about these misconceptions . The only way to find out for herself how her people really felt… how they lived… what their dreams were… was to set off on a padayatra before penning " Treasures of the Thunder Dragon'. Her Majesty traveled on foot to different parts of Bhutan often trekking seventeen days at a stretch through thick jungles ( over 72% of Bhutan is under forest cover) and crossing mountain passes above 5000 metres ( 20% of the country remains under perpetual snow). She said with a disarming smile when I met her, "I wanted to do this while I was physically fit enough . I would have liked to travel incognito, but that wasn't always possible. I took detailed notes along the way. I wanted to narrate the story of 21st century Bhutan and tell the world we do not live in a time- warp." This book comes ten years after her first one… and a lot has changed in the kingdom during that decade.
The sharp, erudite and articulate Prime Minister of Bhutan, Lyonchen Jigme Thinkey admitted as much, albeit circuitously during a lively interaction with Lit Fest delegates. Never mind that some of our self-styled gyaanwallahs were crass enough tell the P.M. on how better to do his job. To his credit, he handled most of this unsolicited advice with a smile, an amusing anecdote and enormous grace. His concerns reflect those of most Bhutanese, who realize their idyllic, isolated life stands threatened by the advent of so-called modernity..Television was introduced in 1999. Information technology as we know it, has altered the cloistered lives of over 10,000 monks, who ensure the teachings of the Buddha ( Bhutan adheres to the Mahayana School ) are preserved and communicated to the people. The Queen Mum writes that Bhutanese monks today adeptly use computers to prepare scrolls of 100,000 prayers to place inside prayer wheels.But so sure is she of the deeply spiritual culture of her people, she states confidently that the Bhutanese have an extraordinary capacity to "appreciate, absorb and adapt." Her optimistic vision is not entirely shared by locals who point out that though foreign-educated students choose to come back home to Bhutan after acquiring fancy international degrees, the rather charming ( if naïve) concept of GNH ( Gross National Happiness) in place of the more boring, predictable and conventional GDP(Gross Domestic Product) followed by the rest of the developed world, doesn't quite cut it with the youth. The ever-smiling Prime Minister shares the Queen Mum's dream when he says Bhutan is proposing a world debate on the true meaning of wealth. "How does anybody define wealth? Is it only about what you have? Or also about what you are?" he asks. Officially, the Bhutanese are meant to take a holistic approach to measure their own Happiness Quotient. This includes chasing prosperity at their own pace and terms but not at the cost of their traditions and customs. On paper it's a splendid idea. But how practical is it? Bhutan built its first ( and only) airport as late as in 1983. Just 14,000 tourists visited Bhutan in 2005.The number has not gone up dramatically since then. Bhutan is not for backpackers, officials say. Thank God for that! But with the recent introduction of charters from India, Bhutan must brace itself for the onslaught of Unruly Indians ruining the pristine hills and vales of the orderly Kingdom. The trading of tobacco is banned ( no ciggies, if you are a citizen). But alcoholism and an addiction to paan remain rampant. There are no multiplexes, no shopping malls ( the first one is still under construction), no casinos and no coffee shops or bars outside the five star hotels.So how do the Bhutanese keep themselves amused? Shrugged a beautiful socialite who had married and divorced four husbands, " What else is there to do? I was so bored!" Quite so.
Well, there is the Royal Wedding in October to look forward to… a devastatingly handsome 31-year-old, Oxford-educated King (Jigme Keshar Namgyel Wangchuk) is all set to marry the delicate 20-year-old Jetsun Pema (who did her schooling in India at Sanawar). And is it going to be an extravaganza designed to overshadow the Kate-William nuptials? "Oh, no!" insisted the P.M. when I asked, adding ,"Our King is keeping it small and simple. He is not planning to invite international media, nor heads of state to the wedding. Not even kings and queens from across the world. He is a very unassuming, reserved man." In that case, I must have clicked a really rare photograph of the couple on the day of their engagement when they casually strolled into our Ambassador's home which is located on a sylvan 70-acre property (the site was selected by Indira Gandhi). King Wangchuk placed a protective arm around his fiancee's shoulder and smiled for the camera. Perhaps a fairytale wedding is being ruled out at this point. But don't bet on it not happening.As for me, I got my fairytale moment with the couple, and I'm not complaining!

Loved the interview piece. Our little glimpse into what happens at a lit fest. I am so glad you choose to write in the moment when events are happening and your perspective and opinions are fresh. For me, you are quite literally one of the window panes through which I can look into contemporary India.
I am cynical about the idea of Gross National Happiness espoused by the Bhutanese government. That kind of Happiness is all very well, for the well off who have the means to access ideas, opinions and lifestyles that allow for a more modern and prosperous life. But what of the poor?
The photos are lovely. The engaged couple looks very elegant. But I wonder about their age difference. 31 to 20 or something like that? People a decade apart speak and think in different languages, especially in the fast changing world of south asia. Still, I wish them happiness in their life together, assuming K2 does not take on additional wives against her wlll.
And Madhavan... always hot. never mind if he is in the cold climes of Bhutan!

Bhutan can be next Singapore. Sounds so great yaar. I salute the queen mom and their PM for such a dedication towards their nation in more clever and healthier way. I've learned something similar like this from Lord Buddha's book that "we should not wait for old age to get enlightened or awakened, rather start doing it while we are young and capable of." Thanks for sharing this wonderful article and pictures. You looking stunning as well, more then that your writing shows your level of intelligence which makes you double times sexy @ sixty.

There will be a Monster High Event! Can you read Italian?
There will be a huge salesroom with the likes of Magia2000, Fashion Doll Agency, Ruffino Francesco, Inika for Blythe, Laurence Bellet and many, many others.
The popular Fashion Show takes place at the Gala Dinner. Guests are invited to participate by wearing their favorite Barbie or Ken outfit and to bring the doll along with them onto the red carpet. The theme is IDC Goes Musical which should give participants a direction for their choices. I would love to see that!
Possibly the most important aspect of this event is the money for charity which will be raised. This year they have chosen Casa Oz. www.casaoz.org
Charitable donations of magnificent dolls and in two cases, handmade wigs, have been posted on eBay for auction.
My favorite is from Superdoll. It is a OOAK Sybarite doll called "Gladrama." If I know Sybarite collectors, the sky's the limit as to how high the winning bid for this doll will be.
I like the Fashion Doll Agency "Sophia." She comes with the complete fashion collection from the Noir line.
There are 16 items for auction. Click here to see them all. Will you be bidding?

SFJazz Center opens with a joyful noise
PERFORMING ARTS Exuberant party celebrates city's pioneering musical landmark
Before the public could test the acoustics inside the country's first stand-alone jazz concert hall, it got to test the acoustics out on Fell Street, where a raucous New Orleans-style street parade was held to puff up the opening of the SFJazz Center on Monday.
The long and low building, three stories of sleek glass wrapping onto Franklin Street, proved a perfect sound baffle for the San Francisco Bourbon Kings as they snaked along the closed-off street, wailing away at "When the Saints Go Marching In" to hundreds waiting to go marching in and inspect the new $64 million facility.
The red ribbon was waiting to be cut with the oversize scissors, and among those eager for it to happen was Randall Kline, founder and executive artistic director of SFJazz. He had heard sound checks inside the 700-seat Robert N. Miner Auditorium and exclaimed: "It sounds knock-your-socks-off great."
There were plenty of people walking around sock-less without hearing a note inside. They were amazed just to be standing there. Asked whether he had ever thought he would see this day, Willie Brown was unusually succinct.
"No," said the former mayor, a member of the SFJazz Board of Trustees.
Revitalizing neighborhood
Once over the shock, he was instantly pontificating, with his eyes on a building directly across Franklin Street that belongs to the San Francisco Unified School District.
"This facility will fuel the energy that gets the School of the Arts built across the street, and the Performing Arts Center will be complete."
Former board chairwoman Srinija Srinivasan said that when she joined the board, "the idea of a home of our own was a central conversation." That was in 2001. It took a while for the conversation to get anywhere, long enough for Srinivasan to serve 11 years and rotate off the board.
"There are 10 good reasons not to own a building," said Srinivasan, who could count one reason to own that supersedes the 10 reasons against.
"It utterly transforms our ability to perform our mission."
Sounds from on high
An example rose into the air when the ceremony began with a horn ensemble weighing in from a balcony at the corner of Fell and Franklin streets. It was performing "Creation's Creation" by trombonist and composer Jacob Garchik, son of Chronicle columnist Leah Garchik. The call of trombones and tubas was responded to by a second ensemble on a balcony at the other end of the building. The sound bounced off the taco trucks as it rose to its crescendo, "The Problem of Suffering."
It felt as if a second line New Orleans funeral procession were about to start when Srinivasan cut the mood by announcing, "It is with extreme joy that I say, 'Welcome to the SFJazz Center.' "
Mayor Ed Lee was excused to be at the Obama inauguration, and former Mayor Brown stayed low under his fedora and did not speak. But the other prominent fedora did. That was the one on the head of Robert Mailer Anderson, the Boonville (Mendocino County) author turned well-to-do jazz savant. His father-in-law is the late Oracle co-founder Robert Miner, whose name is on the auditorium.
"San Francisco has got its soul back," said Anderson, who accented his blue pinstriped suit with a new hat in " 'Round Midnight" blue, freshly purchased from Paul's Hat Works on Geary Boulevard. A major donor to the president's re-election campaign, Anderson could have been expected to be wearing his suit in Washington, D.C., on this day.
"This is more important," he said. "I'm trying to do President Obama's work here in San Francisco."
Sunny side up
The day was as hot as New Orleans in January. It got hotter as the sun reflected off the white glass, making both sides the sunny side of the street.
When the ribbon was cut, the crowd pressed into the cool lobby and up the stairs to see a mural on tile detailing the history of jazz in the city. Before the day was done, upward of 3,000 people had dropped by for the free holiday open house.
Among the first was Juanita Peterson, 73, who arrived from her home nearby, wearing her 49ers jacket and shirt from the NFC championship game the day before.
"This is wonderful. I had to see it," said Peterson, her euphoria tempered by studying the mural upstairs. "It reminded me of the Fillmore and everything we had lost," she said.
At first glance, the concert hall seems too clean for its style of music, an argument that SFJazz president Kline rejects. "This isn't a classical concert hall," he said. "There is grit enough to make it interesting."
Down on the stage, the SFJazz High School All-Stars were warming up in anticipation of playing an original composition that would be the first live jazz heard by the public in the new auditorium.
On drums was Malachi Whitson, 19, of Richmond, by way of the Brubeck Institute at the University of the Pacific in Stockton. He whisked his brushes across a snare and took measure of the acoustics.
"The sound is exuberant; the acoustics are perfect for jazz," was his analysis. "The audience will be able to vibe with the waves that we will be producing on the bandstand."
It's not all roses
One faction not vibing with the waves was the stage employees union, Local 16, whose members were distributing flyers on the street. Local 16 represents crew for the San Francisco Ballet and San Francisco Opera, and union organizers said this explains why there were no elected officials on the podium.
SFJazz is opening as a nonunion shop, and according to Steve Lutge, business manager-secretary for Local 16, the crew members working at SFJazz are not getting benefits. Kline is confident that an agreement will be reached.
"We've been working with them for 30 years," he said, "and it's an open dialogue."
Wednesday's historic opening night concert - featuring saxophonist Joshua Redman, pianist McCoy Tyner, bassist and vocalist Esperanza Spalding, and keyboardist Chick Corea - is sold out, but will be broadcast live at 8 p.m. on KALW (91.7 FM) and KCSM (91.1 FM).

Day before yesterday, while returning from morning walk, I was struck by the sight of a new vegetable put on display on the pavement by vegetable vendor.
Decades old childhood memories flooded my mind. The vegetable appeared to have been seen in childhood but I could not remember it's name and taste. So I decided to purchase it and try my hand on this unique vegetable!!
When my husband saw this, he immediately recognized it and told me , this is Spine gourd or Teasel gourd( kheksa). And shared his memories that he enjoyed it in their grandma's home. His Uncle was so much fond of this veggie. It resembles bitter gourd and pointed gourd.Being a masters of botany, he gave me information that all of them belong to same family cucurbitacea. While I am also masters of botany but I am not that kinda…😂
After reaching home, I called my mother and asked about the recipe. She gave me the recipe as well as it's immense health benefits. like…
It not only reduces blood sugar level but improves one's vision and gastronomical health. According to Ayurveda it contains anti aging properties and is helpful in cough, cold and fever.
I made it with passion and the dish turned out to be wonderful. And one interesting thing is that, even my so choosy children liked it!!
I served this dry preparation of vegetable with paratha and two types of green and red chutnies(dips). It is most suitable for lunch although you can have it in dinner also.
Serves: 6
Preparation time: 30 minutes
Cooking time: 20 minutes
- 1/2 kg fresh spine gourd(kantola or kheksa)
- 1or 2 finely chopped onion
- 8 -10 garlic cloves
- 1 inch ginger
- 18-20 black peppercorn
- 1/2 tsp Cumin
- 1/2 tsp nigella seeds or kalongi
- 1/2 tsp crushed thick fennel
- 1/2 tsp turmeric powder
- 1 tsp red chilli powder
- 1 tsp coriander powder
- 1/2 tsp dry mango powder
- 1/2 tsp chaat masala
- 3-4 tbsp mustard oil
- Salt to taste
- Properly wash and slice the gourd lengthwise and keep aside.
- Make fine paste of ginger, garlic, black pepper and cumin.
- Heat oil in a non-stick pot and saute onion. When onion turns light brown, add fennel, kalaunji. Once they start crackling, immediately add freshly made paste and add turmeric, coriander,red chilli powder and saute. When masala and oil separate, add sliced vegetables and saute all of them properly.
- Add salt, mix well, cover the pot and cook the vegetable for about 15 minutes.
- Sprinkle the mango powder and chaat masala over vegetable and cook for another 2-3 minutes. When the vegetable is done, take the pot off the flame.
- Serve hot with roti, paratha or dal and rice.
Nosh farmaiye…

When he got his first-ever C on a history essay in high school, Noam Angrist stayed after school every day for the rest of the year, honing his writing with a teacher. When an unexpected injury cut short his rowing career, he started coaching. When a middle-school student he was tutoring refused to learn the standard material, Angrist introduced him to The Economist.
Passionate about education, economics, crew and making the world a better place, Angrist's drive and work ethic are matched by his creativity and unconventional methods. The MIT senior believes anyone can learn to do anything.
"I don't believe in natural talent," he says — inspirational words, coming from a double major in math and economics who has contributed to several published research papers, a stellar rower turned coach, and the co-founder of a successful youth mentorship program.
Eight years ago, Angrist says, he was a solid student but had "no ambition athletically." Then, when he was in eighth grade, his family moved to Israel for a year when his father — Joshua Angrist, the Ford Professor of Economics at MIT — took a fellowship at Hebrew University. "Everything was different," Angrist remembers. "The school doesn't emphasize academics; they're huge on athletics."
When he walked into gym class on the first day, Angrist was instructed to show how many pull-ups he could do. "I couldn't do a single one," Angrist says. "You can't even do one pull-up, you sausage!" his gym teacher growled. "I walked out mortified," Angrist remembers.
From that moment on, Angrist had a goal: He stayed up late researching nutrition and athletics, making schedules of when he would eat, when he would exercise. He devoured fat-free cottage cheese, and he jumped rope every morning. "That's just the way I am, when I have a focus," Angrist says.
Angrist became a star performer in his gym class — and the student who could do the most pull-ups.
When he returned to the United States for high school, Angrist took up crew, a sport that he says "gives you a chance to be the person you want to be."
"It rewards hard work," he says. "And I worked really freakin' hard." Despite being the shortest team member in a sport where height can make a big difference, Angrist says, he emerged as one of the best rowers and a team captain.
When a blood clot forced the removal of one of his ribs — ending his rowing career — Angrist switched to coaching the Brookline High School novice boys' team. He was decades younger than his fellow coaches, but still led his boats to gold medals in the state championships.
To Angrist, coaching crew was a chance to make a measurable difference. "As a coach, I'm the independent variable, and the success of the students is the dependent variable," he says. "I wouldn't do anything if I didn't feel like it had a direct and tangible impact." Though Angrist is a tough coach, he says, his rowers are grateful. They may never see him smile, but he says, "Kids know when you invest your heart and soul in something."
Crew has helped him succeed as well: Despite the intense time commitment, Angrist says, it helped him focus and excel in his studies. Now, he helps others do the same.
At the end of their sophomore year at the Institute, Angrist and fellow MIT senior Ron Rosenberg founded Amphibious Achievement, an athletic and academic mentorship program for low-income high school students in Boston. Amphibious Achievement has been featured in local and national publications, and students in the program have shown marked progress in school and on the water. Angrist knows because he's been keeping careful track.
As a student of economics and math, Angrist values data-based evidence and advocates its use in the creation of policies and programs. In Amphibious Achievement as well as in TechLit — a project he recently started to evaluate the use of Kindle e-readers in schools — Angrist makes sure to keep a careful record of students' progress.
"We need to revolutionize the way we run and create programs, because right now it's not based on evidence," Angrist says. "It's shocking how much policy is made on the basis of politics and opinions."
Angrist is working to collect that evidence and to bridge the gap between science and policy. He has spent the last three years working with MIT Professor of Economics Jon Gruber to research the impact of the 2010 Affordable Care Act.
In summer 2011, Angrist worked in Washington at the Council of Economic Advisors, a group that advises the president on economic policy. His work included the design of "randomized trials to analyze the effectiveness of educational software" — something he is currently putting into practice with TechLit. This past summer, Angrist returned to Washington to work for the World Bank's education sector. "I am super-passionate about the power of economics to do good," Angrist says.
Though he knows change ultimately must come from high-level policy decisions, Angrist has spent a lot of time on the ground, working personally with the students he is trying to help. In that time, he has seen kids who were slack-jawed in the face of standardized test problems become engaged and excited in discussions of articles from The Economist and history books. He insists that it is important for learning to be fun.
"Even though I am a data-driven guy with a heavy math background, what really inspires me — and the reason I think my programs are effective — are the first-hand connections and experiences I've had," Angrist says. "Kids won't care how much you know until they know how much you care."

The Olimexino-32U4 is based on the Arduino Leonardo, featuring an AVR ATmega32U4 microcontroller. The ATmega is pre-programmed with the Arduino bootloader that allows you to upload code to it via USB using the open-source Arduino development environment.
The ATmega32U4 has built-in USB communication, eliminating the need for a secondary processor. This allows the board to appear to a connected computer as a mouse and keyboard in addition to a virtual (CDC) serial / COM port. It also has other implications for the behavior of the board particularly reset behavior compared to earlier Arduino boards. It also means that there are now separate Serial and Serial1 classes for the virtual serial driver and the hardware serial port, respectively. This also has an effect on the capabilities and assignments of some pins, e.g. SPI and TWI.
The ATmega32U4 allows for serial (CDC) communication over USB and appears as a virtual com port to software on the computer. The chip also acts as a full-speed USB 2.0 device, using standard USB COM drivers. It requires no drivers to be installed for Linux or Mac (for Windows a .inf file is included with the Arduino IDE software).
The main differences between this board and the official Leonardo are a mini-USB connector instead of micro-USB, a battery connector in addition to the power jack, a UEXT connector for additional peripherals, a 3.3V/5V selection jumper, and through-hole header pads at 0.1" pin spacing in addition to female headers at the traditional Arduino offset. The Arduino Shield connectors are a hybrid of R2 and R3 configurations. They have the added SDA and SCL pins of R3 on one side, but do not have R3's IOREF and unused pin on the other. The power selection jumper duplicates the job of the IOREF pin, only it is a manual setting rather than automatic.

Minted English Pea & Lemony Feta Crostini
I love me some summer, and all the light fresh summer dishes that appear at potlucks and barbecues this time of year. However, I have a confession. I have a love-hate relationship with peas. Mushy green things were a common side on my plate growing up and I remember many a night when I sat at the table long after everyone else had finished…and all I had to do was eat 3 more bites of peas. Gross! Then I grew up (a little) and met fresh english peas…treated with the respect that such a pretty and perfectly petite vegetable deserved. I loved them. I convinced myself that they were two entirely different things that shared no common traits. I'm still wary of pea dishes and always approach them with suspicion. This little dish is shockingly simple but more than the sum of its parts.
Minted English Pea & Lemony Feta Crostini
English peas, shelled
Feta (about 8 oz.)
1-2 tbsp.'s of ½ & ½ or milk
Fresh mint
Juice and zest of 1 lemon
Salt and pepper to taste
1 Baguette or crostini toasts
Sea salt for finishing
Start by blanching the peas in heavily salted boiling water for no more than 2-3 minutes. Before you toss the peas into the pot, prepare a bowl of ice water and place it in the sink. When the time is up, remove the peas and pour into a colander and then immediately submerge them in the bowl of ice water. This will shock those little peas and keep them from overcooking and it sets the bright, fresh green color. Once they have completely cooled, go ahead and drain the peas.
Next, get the feta, drain it and place it in a medium size mixing bowl. I used half of a 16 oz. package. Using a fork, mush up the feta and slowly add the ½ & ½ or milk. Mix it up until it is a nice consistency for spreading on toasts, err on the side of keeping it a little thicker than you think. First zest the lemon and then slice in half and squeeze all the juice out into a bowl or measuring cup. Add in a tbsp. of lemon juice, a tsp. of the lemon zest, a sprinkling of salt and a few grinds of fresh black pepper. This is a taste-as-you-go-recipe…so keep tasting and adding ingredients as needed. You want a creamy spreadable feta with a floral lemon notes from the zest and a bit of zing from the juice. The black pepper can be a prominent flavor as well.
Let the spread chill in the fridge for a bit. Now grab the cooled peas and throw them in a bowl. Take 5-10 mint leaves and stack them on top of one another, starting on the long side, roll them up like they are a yoga mat and then slice them very thinly. Poof! Chiffonade! Sprinkle the mint into the peas, add some salt and maybe just a touch of lemon juice. We brought these over to a barbecue…so I packaged everything separately and built the crostini on location…no one likes a soggy crostini. Oh…did I mention the crostini/toasts…yeah, make them. (Slice baguette thinly, drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with salt, lay in a single layer on a cookie sheet and then put in a 375º oven for 4-6 minutes – watch them carefully…you want them to dry out a bit and get just barely toasty, remove from oven, flip them over, repeat the drizzling and sprinkling and toss them back in the oven for another few minutes…maybe only 3 – cool completely and store in airtight bags. Voilá…Crostini!)
Time to assemble the toasts: spread on lovely layer of feta, place the peas over the top, add a little lemon zest, a little mint and finish with some flaky sea salt.
The other parts of this barbecue are SO worth mentioning…we grilled some white salmon that marinated in 3 mustards, tarragon, olive oil and a little vinegar. we've been lucky enough to cook some white king salmon once before!
It's hard to make asparagus better than when it is lightly oiled and thrown on the grill!
This is Juno, the sweetest Doberman we've ever met…she makes our Cleo dog look like a miniature breed. They are good friends and neither one of them minded when they got to nibble on a little of the cooked salmon skin!
We used some foil under the salmon as we could not bear the thought of losing even the slightest morsel to the slots on the grill.
We finished the salmon with more fresh tarragon and some fresh lemon. And if you look really closely in the upper right hand corner of the photo…you'll see some delicious sautéed fennel! Unfortunately…no other photos are available of the complete dinner since I must have been on a trampoline when I took them – they were THAT blurry!
Sometimes, enjoying the meal with friends, while it is actually hot, is more important than getting the perfect shot!
Bon Appétit!

So far Super Storm Sandy hasn't bumped up gas prices.
According to AAA Mid-Atlantic, gas prices went down across the country for the third consecutive week.
Gas prices dropped to $3.48 nationwide compared to $3.55 a week ago.
Here in our area, prices have also declined. AAA says prices in the D.C. area dropped five cents to $3.53 a gallon.
AAA says some gas analysts predict gas prices could move higher in the short term but the overall climate favors lower gas prices.
"Prior to Hurricane Sandy's arrival, gas prices towards the end of October were dropping at the fastest speeds in nearly four years. If this trend continues as expected, motorists may soon be paying even less than last year to fill up their cars, as AAA believes it is possible that gas prices could drop by 40 cents a gallon nationally between now and the end of the year," said John B. Townsend, public and government affairs manager for AAA Mid-Atlantic, in a statement.
More than half of gas stations in the New York City area and New Jersey aren't selling gas. Stations are either out of fuel or they don't have electricity to run the pumps. Storm damage also shut down pipelines and refineries in the area, according to AAA.

Adolf I. Fabis
Adolph Ira Fabis, CCNY 1912, longest-lived of the eight Founders of Sigma Alpha Mu, died in his sleep February 17, 1982, at the age of 92. A major in entomology at City College, he became interested very early in horticulture and agriculture. In 1912 he went to Cornell for graduate work and affiliated there with the then-new Beta chapter. He joined the U.S. Department of Agriculture as an entomologist, was first sent to the Florida everglades and, in 1917, to Brownwood, Texas. He served in the army in World War I. He took a liking to Texas and bought 144 acres of land near Brownwood in 1920. When the USDA wanted to transfer him in 1922, he decided to stay and so resigned his post. He became a pecan farmer of repute in the area, and he was inordinately proud of the results of his labors. He once wrote, "I would not trade my farm for all of Manhattan Island." In Brownwood he was a familiar figure and a prominent citizen, and he rarely ventured away. He said, "My presence here seems appreciated by man and beast and trees and plants." In 1959 he traveled to New York for the Fraternity's golden jubilee convention, where he appeared only briefly. In 1976, a tornado devastated Fabis Farm, destroyed the house, and nearly killed Fra Fabis. He donated the farm to the city of Brownwood to be used as a public park. He remained on the place the rest of his life. Today, the farm is called Fabis Primitive Park, where Fabis Park Lake welcomes visitors, especially for fishing and boating, and where the large Fabis pecan orchard is still intact. The park is located two miles outside Brownwood.

Located in a restored canal house dating back to 1937, the B&B is just a 15 minute walk to the world famous Pipeline Road—perfect for nature lovers! The B&B is just a 45-minute drive to Panama City, giving opportunity to enjoy exquisite cuisine & shopping, a variety of tours, beautiful beaches and so much more! Also, located right on the Panama Canal, Gamboa serves as an historical landmark and a chance to view the canal up close and personal!
You can also choose to enhance your stay by purchasing dining, rentals or tours in the bottom pane of this site.

Our villas are set in the unspoilt village of Ciftlik, about 40 minutes drive south of Dalaman in South Turkey. The location is perfect for a relaxed holiday, relatively quiet but within easy reach of bars, restaurants, beaches and sightseeing.
The views from the villas look towards the sea and mountains
Turkey is well known as a summer holiday destination and our villas are a great place to choose for a summer holiday. They are also a wonderful place to choose for an out-of-season break. Between April and June, September and the start of November, the weather is still usually warm and mostly fair and these can be perfect times to come to Turkey and experience the warmth, life and culture. Our pools stay open from April through to the end of October and we are happy with short break stays, so why not book a quick trip away and enjoy a bit of Turkish living.
