The Destination
Eureka Springs is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Arkansas—most of the shops in the town's historic commercial district are locally owned and range from coffee shops, cafés, and restaurants to craft shops and art galleries, In fact, there are more than 20 art galleries in the downtown area alone, and Eureka Springs was named one of the Top 25 Art Towns in America by American Style Magazine. It's also home to more than 1,800 acres of city park land and offers plenty of opportunity for hiking, biking, paddle boating, and geocaching.
The Digs
A sprawling five-tier Victorian mansion, The 1886 Crescent Hotel & Spa sits like a shining star upon an Ozark mountaintop. About an hour's drive from both Fayetteville and the airport in Branson, this enchanting property is among the Historic Hotels of America, with premium rooms that highlight detailed Victorian design. Each stand-alone cottage is either on or adjacent to the estate and features limestone walls, shaded balconies, and majestic interiors. Walk through the center garden, where three dozen decorated spruce trees create a sparkling winter wonderland, or walk into town and stroll the city's circuitous side streets.
The Diversions
For visitors who choose to stay in the cottage, soaking in the mountaintop views from the large decks is a must before exploring the nearby walking trails. For those who purchase the two-night package, the day starts with a delicious breakfast buffet that includes fresh-baked biscuits, made-to-order omelets, fruit, and more. Later on in the evening, it's off to an included ghost tour through what has been dubbed America's Most Haunted Hotel. Before the end of your stay, relax with a restorative deep-tissue massage at the hotel's New Moon Day Spa & Salon.

One part indomitable, two parts unorthodox, and zero parts good looks, CEO Fasha Mahjoor has architected a culture of innovation that has led his scientific companies down a path to transformative and explosive success.
It was clear that Fasha had an eye for art and design when, at age 10, he attempted an unauthorized, non-permitted and yet distinctive redecoration of his family home in any number of flashy patterns he could get his hands on. This may have been part of the reason he was sent from his childhood home in Persia to boarding school in Worcester, England to be educated in sorcery alongside similarly mischievous boys whose great talents only needed more focus. Fasha thrived in this new western culture and environment, and went on to study Architecture at Manchester Metropolitan University. His Mastery of Architecture continued across the pond at the University of Southern California, where, while earning his Master's degree, he quickly learned that his poorly adopted British-ish accent made him sound more intelligent than he actually was—possibly even charming—and thus he became a formidable contender in his pursuit of the American Dream.
Even though Fasha's architecture practice was gaining traction in the early 80s, the lure of an entrepreneurial opportunity from an old friend donning an era-appropriate fluorescent ensemble was too thrilling to pass up. His challenge? To start a separations sciences (chromatography) company. As if he knew what that even was at the time!
Having failed all of his chemistry exams in school at the age of 16 and having no financial backing or industry knowledge to speak of, Fasha—with his penchant for perfectionism, fiercely competitive nature, infectious charisma, and tireless work ethic—quickly realized that in order to succeed in the competitive landscape of chromatography, he had to build a company that valued exceptional quality products, fanatical customer service and uniqueness of culture above all else. His company, built in a garage next to his trusty 1982 Jeep Wrangler, would rapidly turn from distributer to manufacturer to innovator, producing the most game-changing technology in the industry.
Nearly 34 years later, Fasha's company, Phenomenex, the worldwide leader in separations sciences consumables, is an award-winning company with over 8,000 products, 800 employees, 16 global companies and 75 international partners serving over 100 countries worldwide, earning the impressive titles of "Most Likely to Succeed" and "Science's Most Titillating Company."
After paying off the heads at The Wall Street Journal and International "Spirit at Work Award" Committee to honour the company with prestigious corporate awards such as a "Top Small Workplace," it was clear that Fasha's tendency towards madness was paying off. His obsession with being the best had put his company on the map, his products in nearly every lab on the planet, and all but a handful of his initial competitors still standing… and only on one leg!
In fact, Fasha somehow managed to slip through the cracks in 2013 and was voted to be one of the "Top 100" in the world for his influencing advancements in the field in The Analytical Scientist's "Power List 2013."
Of course, there were many more awards given to Fasha over time by the likes of Ernst and Young, Deloitte, the Los Angeles business community, and R&D Magazine, including a collection of 12 "R&D 100" awards for his company's innovative technologies. Fasha even received the "Ellis Island Medal of Honor" in 2013 - one of the USA's most prestigious awards—placing his name in the Library of Congress alongside US Presidents and Nobel Prize winners. How he managed to be honoured with this award simply proves that miracles clearly do happen!
Awards aside, one might be flabbergasted wondering how a young architect–with a scientific knowhow limited to what he could photocopy out of an encyclopedia Britannica and cram into a 3-ring binder—could grow his company from $121,000 a year to a very large, multimillion dollar corporation ranked No. 1 in the world. And even more surprising still, to have accomplished this having gone head-to-head against many multibillion dollar Fortune 500 corporations who had dominated the market before Fasha had decided he had no choice but to be "David" and take on the industry "Goliaths."
One of Fasha's reasons for success was (and still is) his magnetism to attract and retain the best talent in the industry. Through his own insatiable competitive spirit, drive, and self-sacrifice, he brought on colleagues that had no option but to reflect his indomitable spirit, and he counts these colleagues as the best of his friends. To this day, he still spends 80-hour workweeks dedicated to building his companies (though he could be playing minecraft at his computer all day for all we know!). With his mind constantly racing, he is infamous for coming up with unique ideas, a discerning eye for detail and an extraordinary ability to see and to think in ways that others cannot, continuing to provide a challenging and educational environment for his friends and colleagues.
Fasha despises doing what is "typical," desperately working to break all the rules in anything he does and he fosters a unique and innovative manner of doing everything—like pouncing on the chance when new opportunities present themselves.
In 2014, Fasha embarked on a new business venture. He started a new company he named Neoteryxand from it, dove into the world of biological microsampling. This new company would take on a special culture all its own, and would quickly change the way scientists, doctors, and even patients themselves collect and transport blood for clinical trials, clinical diagnostics, and epidemiological research. Neoteryx's keystone medical device, the Mitra™ Microsampler, eliminates the need for clinic-based venipuncture blood draws and opens up the opportunity for convenient, quantitative remote sampling to better serve difficult-to-reach populations and patients of all ages, especially those with low blood volume or flow .
Aside from business savvy, perhaps one of Fasha's most notorious and unabashed personality traits is his sincere passion for philanthropy. Forcing innocent people to see him dance in a coconut bra to raise awareness for leukemia, screaming like a baby while leaping from skyscrapers to send youths to life-changing wilderness programs, and baring his shiny shaved head for months on end to fundraise for global charities have all been part of his pursuit to support causes that mean so much to him. His desire to support hands-on giving –paired with financial backing—has moved mountains throughout the world. Fasha has organized the making of over 400,000 meals, by hand, for hungry children in 3rd world countries with his employees in the US and abroad, and for the past 5 years, he has provided clothing, food, books, school tuition, and mentors for children in a Hyderabad, India orphanage. He even flew to the jungles of Belize with fellow colleagues to help build a school, just to name a few of his endeavors.
These days, quite contrary to his inability to stay still or rest for even a moment, Fasha can be found doing a whole lot of "sitting" on his derrière. On the Board of Trustees for The Outward Bound Trust (UK) and on the Board of Directors of the American Red Cross, Los Angeles Region, that is. His impact on—and love of—giving back cannot be disputed nor slowed down.
If you've met the man behind the drafting table, you'll remember him for his unique brand of pert and self-deprecating humor that magically disarms enemies while easily winning over the affection of strangers and the loyalty of friends and colleagues. He is beloved by many; perhaps misunderstood by a few (most likely due to the British-ish accent). And aside from his loud and occasionally blindingly bright clothing choices, those around him tend to think he's a pretty cool guy.
To be continued.
Fasha can neither confirm nor deny the authenticity of the above comments. But this is mainly because he's old and can't even remember what he ate for breakfast.
Fasha is most relaxed and contented behind his drawing board. But seeing as he is clearly not smart enough to have become proficient in CAD after 30 years, he is happy just to be able to draw a straight line! In his spare time, he enjoys watching his favourite sport, Rugby, and claims that he played for his adopted country of England. But, after fact checking, it has been discovered that he was actually only active on his kindergarten team reserve squad. He also loves tennis, and is most famous for his championship game role at Wimbledon… as assistant ball boy. And, when he was avidly show jumping from the ages of 17-36, he broke his nose 3 times, proving time and time again how good he really was at the sport!
Fasha is passionate about art and architecture, and has designed many of the Phenomenex buildings and decorated all of them in implicit detail in ten different countries throughout the world. Additionally, he has invested in many properties, both commercial and residential, which he plans to further develop over time.

|To celebrate 33 years of success in February 2015, in true Phenomenex "Breaking with Tradition" fashion, Phenoms from around the globe gave up their hair for the sake of charity. Over 40 employees either shaved their heads or dyed their hair an outrageous color. For each staff member taking part in the celebrations, Phenomenex donated $500 to a charity of their choosing, for each month they kept their hair looking "crazy" through September.
By the end of the celebration, over $44,000 was donated to charities all over the world.
|American Red Cross Soccer Charity Cup
|Phenomenex employees challenged local American Red Cross volunteers to a re-match during their second annual Soccer Charity Cup in June 2015 at the Zamperini Stadium in Torrance, California to raise money for disaster relief and preparedness programs. With a 5-1 victory in a spirited competition, the Phenoms were pleased to present a $19,450 donation check to the American Red Cross.
|Nepal Earthquake Disaster Relief Fundraising
|On May 8th, National "No Socks Day," Phenomenex staff was encouraged to NOT wear socks, and instead donate money in exchange for a pair of funky socks during their "Funky Sock Sale for Nepal." In addition, they hosted a "Goodies for Good Drive": Over the course of a week and a half, the Phenomenex Philanthropy Group accepted donations for Nepal in exchange for various sweet and salty snacks (goodies). The culmination of both events brought a total of $2,361 raised by employees—all of which was matched dollar for dollar by Phenomenex for a grand total of $4,722. This was donated to the American Red Cross for Nepal Disaster Relief care.
|Cycling from London to Paris for Charity
|Ten cyclists from Phenomenex companies around the world took to the streets and highways of Europe, riding nearly 290 miles/466 kilometers over three days in the London to Paris Cycling Challenge to raise money for charities they hold dear, including The Outward Bound Trust (UK), The Outward Bound (USA), Cheers Foundation Orphanage (India), and Epilepsy Research UK. Each of the riders, financially sponsored by Phenomenex, traveled with their bicycles all the way from company sites in India, Spain, USA, The Netherlands, Germany, UK, and Italy, converging in London before heading off on their adventure. Phenomenex sponsored race entry and travel fees and donated an additional £8,000.00/$12,000.00 to The Outward Bound Trust (UK), funds that will go towards sending underprivileged youth to participate in life-changing outdoor learning programs. Each rider achieved their own personal fundraising goals before the event, totaling £13,000/$20,000 to donate to their respective charities.
|Stop Hunger Now
|Every year, 2.6 million children die of starvation. Phenomenex Italy is working to end this. For two days each May, managing director Alberto Albieri and our wonderful Italian team hold their annual meal packing event with Stop Hunger Now Italia Onlus. Food packaged from this event ensures that children will have a nutritious meal to eat every day, giving them a chance to become educated and ensuring a brighter future for themselves and their families. Over 250 volunteers, including Phenomenex staff, customers, local schools, and community members, come together to pack 36,000 meals that will be sent to children in great need in Africa. Since Mr. Albieri and his colleague, Dr. Andrea Gheduzzi, first founded Stop Hunger Now Italia Onlus (SHINO) in 2012 with the support of Phenomenex headquarters, the organization in Italy has packed over 1,000,000 meals for needy children in Africa.
|Feed My Starving Children
|During the course of 2 days in November 2013, 750 Phenomenex volunteers came together to make 163,296 meals to feed starving children in the developing world. Through a continued partnership with Minnesota-based Feed My Starving Children (FMSC) over the past two years, Phenomenex has made over 300,000 life-saving meals that have been sent to children in countries including North Korea, Haiti, and the Philippines. Organization and all costs of the event were fully sponsored by Phenomenex.
|Veterans Stand Down|Event Comfort Kit Packing
|In October 2013 and again in December 2015, over 150 employees gathered in Torrance to pack a total of 1,260 comfort kits that were handed out to Veterans at local Stand Down events in partnership with the American Red Cross. Stand Down events provide veterans a safe place to "rest" for a few days, offering services like food, shelter, clothing, health screenings, counseling, and referrals to services such as health care, housing, and employment. The comfort kits contained shampoo, body soap, a washcloth, toothbrush, toothpaste, mouthwash, deodorant, shave cream, razor and a comb, all packaged in a reusable toiletry bag. All leftover toiletries were donated to the VA Hospital in Torrance. Phenomenex sponsored 100% of the event costs and materials.
|American Red Cross Blood Drives
|Phenomenex is a longstanding partner of the American Red Cross, holding regular blood drives twice a year (and more often in times of low blood supply). Phenomenex was awarded the American Red Cross Platinum Award, for excellence in supporting the community blood supply.
|Diwali Celebration with Cheers Foundation Orphanage
|Each year, Team India celebrates the beloved festival of color and light with the children at the Cheers Foundation in Hyderabad India, an orphanage that Phenomenex is committed to serving with hands-on, financial, and educational support. The team spent the evening setting off celebratory fireworks with the children. Phenomenex pays the tuition for each of the children to attend an excellent local private school and the children are all thriving.
|Humanity in Science Award
|Phenomenex sponsors the "Humanity in Science Award", recognizing altruism and innovation in the analytical sciences. A $25,000 award is given to the winner(s) and their work is presented at industry conferences and published in The Analytical Scientist magazine.
In 2015, the inagural winners, Dr. Peter H. Seeberger and Dr. Andreas Seidel-Morgenstern of the Max-Planck Institutes, were recognized for their groundbreaking discovery of a new way to produce life-saving antimalarial drugs at only a fraction of the cost. Their revolutionary process means that the drugs will now be low-cost, allowing for the medicines to get to those who need it most: the poor, impoverished nations that suffer hundreds of thousands of unnecessary deaths every year from malaria simply because they cannot afford expensive medicine. This discovery will save millions of lives throughout the world.
|German Sport Aid Foundation and German Disabled Youth Foundation
|Fifteen employees raced in the annual J.P.Morgan Chase Run in 2015 to support disabled sports through the German Sport Aid Foundation and German Disabled Youth Foundation.
|Royal Grammar School, Worcester, UK
|Being the boarding school that Fasha Mahjoor attended for 6 years, it has a special place in his heart. Fasha feels very privileged that he has been able to support the school in many ways throughout the years, including the initiation and creation of a new development office. Further support of various kinds will be continuous.
|Abseiling/ Rapelling for The Outward Bound Trust
|On September 3rd, 2012, Fasha leapt off the 87th floor of The Shard in London, Europe's tallest building, to raise funds for The Outward Bound Trust. Alongside a handful of other adventurous philanthropists and led by the Chairman of The Outward Bound Trust, His Royal Highness The Duke of York, Prince Andrew, the group abseiled/rappeled down 1,056 feet (the highest ever attempted by any civilian) all in support of the educational charity.
On September 7 2015, Fasha Mahjoor, yet again, abseiled/rappeled a leap off not one, but three iconic London skyscrapers—helping to raise a record-breaking £2,000,000/$3,040,000 (and counting) in a single day for The Outward Bound Trust. Mahjoor descended from three buildings known locally as The Gherkin, The Cheesegrater, and The Walkie-Talkie during the City Three Peaks Challenge to aid the Trust. Mahjoor's goal was to raise £100,000/$156,000, of which he personally donated £33,333/$50,000. www.mahjoor4charity.com
The Outward Bound Trust has enabled over one million underprivileged youth to participate in challenging outdoor programs, providing life lessons in responsibility, teamwork, and leadership. Through the education and courses provided by The Outward Bound Trust (and its many global affiliates), young people clearly see, perhaps for the first time, what they are truly capable of achieving.

I think I may of found a way to get rid of a pending activation using the my Verizon app.
I recently purchased and sold an iPhone 5s. I sold in sealed. I did start the activation process online to accept the terms and conditions. (hopefully that p worked). I was left with a pending activation on that line. It was a udl transfer to a dumb line I used for upgrades. I was unable to do anything with the line online at Verizon Wireless. I then used the my Verizon app and was able to suspend the line. (VerizonWireless.Com would not let me) I was then able to immediately reactivate the line and put the old phone on dropping the data.
New bill comes in a couple days.

Historical Traveler Reviews Hotel Indigo Chicago Downtown Gold Coast
A Very Expensive Trip!!
To bad this hotel stay ended up costing me almost 1,000.00 for a two night stay. The hotel charged my Bank Card for two rooms of guests that did not show up. These are guests I do not even know, nor did I reserve these rooms. Needless to say it takes longer to refund money to someone than it does to charge someone. My bank had posted these charges to my account and I have been without almost 600.00 for over a week. Scott, the manager of the front desk has yet to explain to me how room fees where charged to my account for people I do not even know. Unfortunately, this has ruined what could have been a very good memory of a great weekend getaway. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone. Fo what I have spent, I could have stayed at a much nicer hotel and had room service for every meal.
Great room, problems with service and security
I stayed at the Hotel Indigo for a recent business trip. I had stayed there several times in its previous incarnation (Claridge Hotel) and had enjoyed the great Gold Coast location; with the remodeling, it's an even better value. The "spa" theme is fun, with rooms and lobby in seaside blues and greens. I had a very spacious room with a lounge chair, big separate area with a coffeemaker, and lots of room to move around. Hardwood floors are a nice touch. However, the woman on duty the night I checked in did not know her job. I arrived late in the evening, so went immediately to bed -- and was awakened by another couple entering my room! They had been checked into the same room as I was. Sure, I should have locked the deadbolt, but this is still not what a woman traveling alone wants to happen. I complained to the manager the next day, and while he apologized, I was not offered any discount or even a coupon for a free drink or cup of coffee. Obviously they're still ironing out the kinks with the service staff at the Hotel Indigo.
Superb lodging experience
This was a business trip so I was glad to walk in and to this clean, bright, colorful and relaxing amosphere. What a charming hotel in the midst of the Gold Coast area of downtown Chicago. Just two blocks from State/Rush Streets and a few more to Magnificant Mile. The price was in line with the area -- $189/night. Lobby was so inviting with it's tropical island like decor. Front desk and other hotel staff were mature, friendly and obviously loved their job. The best part though was the guest room/bathroom. The indigo blues/greens bordered with white wood furniture made me feel so calm. The shower was large enough for three! You will love this place.
Hotel Indigo Was a Treat! Definitely Stay Here!!!
Actually, this should be 4.5 stars. It would have 5 stars had the room been larger and had more storage. It's a small room (don't bring much luggage!), with no standard dresser; your clothes go either in the small closet, or on a small shelf in a cupboard-type piece.
The decor is great, the hotel is in excellent shape (opened 8/05), the bed is amazingly wonderful, and they have Aveda products (soap/shampoo/conditioner/lotion). Unfortunately if you like in-room coffee, the coffeemaker makes only one cup at a time, so get extra pods at the front desk (free). The restaurant serves Starbucks.
The staff was nothing less than perfect. They even anticipated my needs from an off-handed comment I made, and took the initiative to get me what I wanted.
The onsite restaurant is small, and the menu is, too. We had only breakfast there, which was part of our package (included continental b'fast and parking). It was very ok, but we could have sprung for a (pricey) hot b'fast had we wanted to. But, Corner Bakery is also in walking distance.
Ice machines and vending only on the 2nd floor, so we didn't hear the clanging of ice, or kids running in the halls getting candy.
The high speed internet is wireless; when you're there, you call the front desk and they set you up with the codes you need.
The alarm clock is a Sony dream machine, with a Hotel Indigo CD inside. So peaceful! Towels were big and fluffy, too. Cool part-glass shower stall with real tile and no bathtub.
It's on a quiet street, just off Division. Lots of restaurants within walking distance, as are Walgreens and Jewel (large grocery store).
Navy Pier is a $6 cab ride away. We tipped the bellhop to get us cabs during our stay, and he made our life much easier and efficient...but the entire staff treated us as though we were their raison d'etre. Which I guess we were!
We look forward to staying again. Just wonderful! Treat yourself: it's a lovely experience, and very economical (but not "cheap").
Great for kids
We stayed at Hotel Indigo with our 4-year old, who loved the hotel. The decor was very child-friendly, with bright colors, wood floors, etc. We had one of the larger corner rooms and it was spacious enough even for a family with 2 kids. The hotel is one block away from the Clark / Division CTA stop, which made it easy to get anywhere downtown by train (though that stop is still a little spooky late at night). Going east from the hotel to the lake is a great walk through a leafy residential neighborhood. Valet car parking is next door, $35 / day with in-out privileges. No late-night room service or dining in this neighborhood, but Ranalli's delivers! Overall, good value & great location.
Great secret, but not for a while!
I second the reviews. I was familiar with other Indigo properties and this one is one of the best on a great chain of hotels. Away from all the buz of Michigan Ave, but close that you can walk. The in-house restaurant is great for a quick bite and the bar is a great warming point for a night out. Great rooms and decor but a little small. Book a room with a fire place and you will get a big LCD TV and a little more room. Very comfortable beds and the staff is very helpful and friendly. Pictures in the website are what you can expect. Great work out room and price was adequate for Chicago. The property is decorated with DaVincci quotes and themes and if you do not like modern, this is not for you as it is not a traditional chain hotel. Hungry/thirsty? try The Tsunami, bar/restaurant, a few feet from the entrance for a PanAsian experience and a good start for your night out. If you are comming with kids I would not stay as you migh not have enough room. However, it is a great hotel for a getaway away from the kids. If you are flying a taxi or shuttle is the only way to get there. We are comming back!
Super Location, Ambiance and Rate
We had a superb time at the new Hotel Indigo on Dearborn Parkway near the Gold Coast area. This a refurbished hotel Loved the innovative and tasteful approach to decorating the lobby and rooms--great use of blue and complementary colors. Staff was friendly and helpful. Our room, although on the smaller size, was beautifully appointed and just the right rate for our pocketbook. There are larger rooms for slightly more. While the hotel is located on a quiet, tree-lined street, Chicago's lively night scene on Rush Street was just two blocks away. Gibson's was a wonderful steak restaurant with outdoor tables for viewing the action and the Backdoor jazz club across the street had great jazz music. Lastly, easy access to parking.
Loved the Indigo
We have just come back from staying 7 days at the Indigo. The hotel is in a great location, the refurbishment is very nice and the staff were great. They took all possible trouble to help us. The hotel was coming to the end of its 'soft' opening and almost everything had been ironed out by the time we left. (The official opening is on the 21st June, I believe.) Thanks to everyone there. We'll definitely be going back. (Oh. My wife says the bed was the most comforatable she has slept in.)
Great Location!
This hotel reopened after renovations in mid-May, 2005. Lobby and rooms are colorful, bright and airy. Lobby bar is very nice. Front desk staff was helpful and pleasant. I loved the hardwood floors and soothing blue/greens used in the rooms. Our room was tiny, but functional. Wouldn't want to have to spend lots of time in it, especially if there were 2 of you as there is only one chair. We were there on vacation and spent little time in the room, so it worked well for us. On checkout, when we asked about larger rooms, we were advised to ask for rooms numbered 11 or 15 to get corner rooms. Location is great! A 5 minute walk to beach. Lots of restaurants and shoppping within an easy walk.

The University of Tübingen's Institute of Anatomy recently discovered a fish with what they called "a previously unknown type of eye." The glasshead barreleye has a cylindrical eye pointing upwards to see prey, predators and potential mates. But the eye also has a mirror-like second retina which is able to detect bioluminescent flashes created by deep-sea denizens to the sides and below, reports Professor Hans-Joachim Wagner.
As you know, bats are able to find their way around and locate their prey using echolocation – high-pitched sounds that they also use to keep from flying into trees and other bats. But scientists have now learned that one particular kind of bat emits another call that warns other bats to stay away from bugs they've claimed for themselves.
Mechanical gears – like those found in clocks – have been around since the Greeks are thought to have invented them around 300 B.C. But scientists have now discovered a small hopping insect equipped with a set of living gears!
Evolutionists tell us a 66-million-year-old feathered dinosaur resembling a giant demonic bird was discovered in the fossil-rich Hell Creek formation of South and North Dakota. Not surprisingly, this newly discovered dinosaur species was dubbed the "chicken from hell".
Rove beetles are found in the rain forests of Costa Rica and have three different ways of making a living. Their largest prey are the blow flies that frequent animal dung. The beetles wait on the dung for a blowfly to land, then stalk their prey with the skill of a cat. They can even capture their prey in the air if it tries to escape. But dung doesn't last long in the rain forest, because dung beetles quickly haul it off.
We have noted many times the different ways in which bats defy evolutionary explanations. For their echolocation systems to evolve, bats had to develop simultaneously the ability to make high pitched sounds, hear those sounds, and figure out what they mean. How did they eat before they evolved these abilities? Then there is the problem of evolving typical mammalian forearms into bat wings without crippling the creature in the process. Even evolutionists admit that the evolution of all these features even once is highly unlikely.
Those who believe that all living things are the product of millions of years of evolution tell us that living things develop features that aid their survival. They are quick to point out how some unusual feature of a plant or animal aids in its survival. That's why it's noteworthy that evolutionists cannot explain why kangaroos hop.
Many lines of evidence support the Bible's claim that Noah saved two of every kind of creature on the Ark, including dinosaurs. This means that humans and dinosaurs lived at the same time rather than separated by millions of years, as evolutionists claim. Long before modern science discovered dinosaurs, many histories offered descriptions of these creatures.
The sea holds some of God's most creatively designed living things. Just as on land, the variety of creatures in the sea was much greater in the past. One good example of this is an extinct sea going reptile known as Ophthalmosaurus. A full grown Ophthalmosaurus was about 12 feet long and shaped like a dolphin. What made it unusual were its eyes. They were each about the size of a dinner plate.
According to evolution, biological history is one of "red in tooth and claw." In this view, living things compete with one another. The fittest survive at the expense of the less fit. In a forest, this means that trees compete with one another for light, water and nutrients. Taller trees benefit from the light they prevent shorter trees from receiving. But as it turns out, the true law of the jungle is cooperation.
As fall comes to the temperate regions of North America, Europe and Asia, many birds head for warmer climates, and insects enter suspended animation. While it might appear that nature is shutting down for the winter, amazing things are happening. About 50 species of moths are awakening from spending the summer in suspended animation. Winter is when these moths are active, despite the fact that they don't have any of the biological antifreeze that some other creatures do. The metabolic costs of such chemicals would hamper their way of life.
What do you do when food resources are scarcer than normal for an extended period of time? People not getting enough nutrition lose weight and eventually muscle mass. It would really make more sense to proportionately shrink your body size. After all, children require fewer calories than adults. It appears that this is just what marine iguanas and perhaps some other reptiles actually do.
The hooded pitohuis is an evil-smelling, blue jay sized bird that is native to New Guinea. The bird has been known to science since 1827, but they held a secret that only began to be uncovered in 1989.
St. John's wort or Klamath weed is not native to North America. Until it was brought from Europe in colonial times, North American insects had never seen the plant. St. John's wort quickly spread because it was poisonous and thus not eaten by most insects. The plant manufactures a poison called hypericin that is activated by light. This poison is powerful enough to kill even livestock that might be foolish enough to eat it.
If the biblical account of history is true, then man and dinosaurs lived at the same time. Some believe that this accounts for the almost universal legends of dragons. In many parts of the world, these legends were passed orally from generation to generation. Unfortunately, it takes only a few hundred years for such legends to become distorted.
When a young man prepares himself to meet his young lady, he slaps on a little cologne, hoping to please her. It turns out that the males of at least some species of bats do the same thing. Researchers have recently discovered how a small North American tropical bat prepares to attract and keep his harem of up to eight females. In late afternoon the bat begins a ritual that takes more than half an hour to complete.
Whales pose some interesting problems for those who believe that all living things slowly evolved to their present forms over millions of years. According to evolution, sea creatures gradually adapted to life on land because they could make a better living there. That's where mammals supposedly evolved. Then, for some unknown reason, some of those mammals – Darwin said it was the bear – decided to return to the sea.
A strange and beautiful family of creatures known as ammonoids nicely illustrate the illogic and lack of scientific reasoning used by defenders of evolution. While the chambered nautilus is the only species of ammonoid that exists today, the fossil record reveals hundreds of extinct species. While some, like the chambered nautilus, had relatively simple shells, others had intricately detailed shells with ruffled, wavy walls.
When you are a small animal whose diet could injure or even kill you, eating can be positively dangerous. That danger increases if you belong to a family of animals that normally takes minutes or even hours to swallow a victim.
Flight is a big problem for those who believe that we owe our existence to evolution. Birds, mammals, reptiles, insects, and even some fish fly or at least glide through the air in controlled flight. So many different creatures fly that evolutionists must say that flight evolved several different times. The dragonfly is among the best fliers in the animal kingdom.

The last feature I haven't been able to figure out yet. Also, it needs to work with VStroker and not push the Power/Sync button. But, also be able to work with out. Id also like to be able to put a Vac-U-Seal Dildo for the wife. I looked on the net for something similar but they just cost to much. Let me know if you have any sketches or designs. I am very interested in putting it in my own case. Was thinking of using a 30 Cal ammo can painted black or a Fat 50 Cal ammo can so I can store all the toys in under lock an key. Thanks for any responses or ideas and if you decided to build I would love to try your ideas besides mine.8th August 2013 1:00am
Ok, so are you guys ready for the best fleshlight experience ever? So I used the "super sucking" mod but enhanced it to be hands free! Yes, fucking hands free. :D :D :D First, I bought this:21st August 2013 9:49am
http://www.kenstwistedmind.com/Fucking-Machines/KTM-107.html (not advertising for them, this is just the one I bought personally.)So I use that, I screw in a normal fleshlight case, then I put the modified case inside the normal case, tape it to the end of the normal case (I used gorilla tape) and viola! You've got yourself a hands free super sucking fleshlight! 8) It's not too noisy, a little noisy, gets kinda loud at the fastest level, but hey, who gives a fuck!? 8)
By the way, my favorite sleeve to use with the mod is the "swallow" one, I have the mini swallow too (jenna) but the swallow seems to be better, at least the misty stone one.21st August 2013 9:51am
Awesome site man!13th November 2013 3:39am
more!27th December 2013 3:40pm
and make those ugly chicks down there go away.
How many hours ill took to dry because if the superskin pops early in the case its remain a bit of water inside.5th May 2014 12:50am
You may wanna consider showing the shoe method and give tips about that. And wedging the FL between your matress. These may be common knowledge, but there's always someone green to the FL looking for tips.Also, how i warm my FL: I put it in a ca 3 liter plastic bag of hot water for a while. Tying a knot or putting a clip to close the bag gives the heat a harder time escaping and you can put the case and lube under it in the sink to heat that too. It also saves water for the enviroment! AND you can reuse that water to clean the FL afterwards!14th July 2014 1:59pm

What site is that? I think you are mistaken unless you can be more specific.31st December 2014 7:54am
I love to jack myself (no lube) into the other end of mine, and then hold it upside down while performing cunnilingus on the "vagina". Recreating a great experience I had years ago. Anyone who has never tried their own should give it a go. No more tissues for me!4th February 2015 6:44pm
Hey thanks for all the tips, don't know about stripping my fleshy friend though I rigged this up. Pickle jar same diameter as ring of casing. Add special slippery water to the jar, a fish thermometer to keep it warm, a bullet vibrator strapped to the side, and a silicon seal to prevent the high suction from pulling the sleeve into the jar. Super tight, warm, self-lubricating, vibrating, sucking machine. 10/1013th February 2015 5:10am
If you use pink make up on the lips it looks nicer. hopefully it doesn't hurt the material28th March 2015 12:38am
I have the best mod. Take the fleshlight out of the casing. Stretch a condom over the entry end of the fleshlight and leave the rolled up end in the first groove where it locks into the casing. Pour a heap of lube in through the back and slide your fingers down the sides to force some of it into the condom. Put it back in the case, snip the end of the condom and ahhhh. The rolled up part of the condom acts like a muscle. I find unrolling a little makes it too tight so just unroll to your needs.11th November 2015 1:19am
Where can we see you use it for real?24th December 2015 2:14am
Where is the Saw blade (power tool) mod ? There are even those extensions or w/e for that on sale8th April 2016 4:18pm
cool site lots of info6th June 2016 12:03pm
Here is my favorite....Take a pillow and place it sideways inside a pillowcase. The pillow will form into the shape of a letter "U". Take the hard case of the fleshlight and place it inside the "U" in the pillowcase.Next, you will place towels all around the fleshlight case inside the pillowcase. Personally, I like to have the fleshlight case slightly tilted and so I will try to get creative with how the towels are positioned inside the pillowcase to provide the best angle.Once the pillowcase is packed with towels surrounding the fleshlight hard case, take a belt and wrap it all the way around the pillowcase.On the underside of the pillow, I then thread the belt through two foam circles before bringing the ends of the belt together on the top of the pillow and cinching the belt tightly around the pillow.I then use the foam circles under the pillow to pivot the fleshlight in a constant corkscrew motion- up, down, and side to side as the fleshlight corkscrews my cock. 5/59th August 2016 7:53pm

If you are a contractor and you want to engage somebody to work for you, you must first establish whether or not the type of work involved falls within the construction industry scheme. The CIS guide for contractors and subcontractors explains in full what type of work is covered by the CIS.
Once you are satisfied about the status of the work, you need to obtain basic details from the subcontractor, such as name, unique taxpayer reference (UTR) and national insurance number.
If you use subcontractors who do not trade as limited companies, the first priority is to establish whether, in all the circumstances, they are entitled to be treated as self employed. This matter is discussed in our fact sheet An Introduction to PAYE. All wages for employees must be paid under PAYE.
If you believe your worker should be categorised as self employed, you need to set up an appropriate contract. The next stage is Verification.
You can verify a subcontractor by:
You also need to establish whether the subcontractor is to be paid gross or net. For net payments there are two rates of deduction – a standard rate (20%) for those who have registered with HMRC ("matched") and a higher rate (30%) for those who have not ("unmatched").
Please note that the verification process should be used only when a contract is in place, or a tender accepted. It cannot be used speculatively to establish payment status details of a subcontractor.
Contractors must issue a payment statement to each subcontractor for whom they have made a deduction from a payment. The statement may cover all payments in a tax month, or each individual payment. There are penalties if payment statements are not issued within 14 days of the end of the tax month. There is no prescribed format, but they must contain the following information:
Care should be taken when using standard payroll statements, as they often have inappropriate headings, such as "employee number". It is important that payment statements clearly identify the subcontractor as a self-employed individual rather than an employee.
To make a deduction from a subcontractor's payment, start with the total – gross – amount of the subcontractor's invoice and then take away:
Then take away the amount the subcontractor actually paid for:
Include VAT if they are not VAT registered.
Finally, apply either the standard or the higher rate percentage to the amount left – this gives you how much to deduct.
Once you know how much to pay the subcontractor you'll probably pay it directly to them. But they could authorise you to pay a third party like a debt factor.
Keep a record of every payment you make to each subcontractor. Include details of:
Contractors must also make monthly returns of all payments to subcontractors, showing for each subcontractor most of the details shown on the payment statements, together with declarations that:
Returns and payments must reach HMRC within 14 days of the end of the relevant tax month. There will be penalties if these are late or incorrect.
The penalty will be cancelled if you let HMRC know that you didn't pay any subcontractors that month.
Nil returns must be made if no subcontractors have been paid in the month. There are no annual returns.
How late the return is
|1 day late
|2 months late
6 months late
|£300 or 5% of the CIS deductions on the return, whichever is higher
|12 months late
For returns later than this, you may be given an additional penalty of up to £3,000 or 100% of the CIS deductions on the return, whichever is higher.
Remember, you could be fined up to £3,000 if you can't show your CIS records when asked by HMRC.

Neko Case kills art contest, gets into it on Twitter
I noticed something in my Twitter stream late last night. Singer-songwriter Neko case was getting into it with artists and designers.
From what I can gather from the long string of tweets, Neko had invited artists and designers to create a poster for her upcoming "The Worse Things Get, The Harder I Fight, The Harder I Fight, The More I Love You" tour to support her new album. The winner would get $1,000 prize and Neko, a visual artist herself, would end up working directly with the winner. »Read Full Blog Post(1)

SO . . . THIS IS IT, huh?
That's been the knee-jerk reaction of anyone who has ever encountered the cracked and barren lots that serve as the southern entrance to the Avenue of the Arts at Broad Street and Washington Avenue.
The vacant slabs of real estate on the northwest and northeast corners of the intersection have been the subject of countless rumors during the last 20 years - everything from hotels and condos to a movie soundstage that was going to be built by Philly-born Hollywood star Will Smith.

MIDDLEBURY — After Middlebury Union High School junior quarterback Austin Robinson and his teammates convincingly ended three-time defending Division I champion Hartford's 27-game undefeated streak, 23-0, this past Frday, he said that he believed the Tigers had just made a statement.
"It just means we can do anything," Robinson said. "We already knew that, but this game definitely reinforces it."

Good news came last Thursday in the form of a $8.9 million grant to rebuild 20 miles of state-owned Vermont Railway track between Leicester and Rutland. It's part of the $18.5 million project that will refurbish the tracks between Burlington and Rutland and allow the trains to move at higher speeds. The hope is the improved rail will spur economic development.
MIDDLEBURY — Two of Vermont's leading government officials — U.S. Sen. Pat Leahy and Gov. Peter Shumlin — shared their views on issues ranging from the Vernon nuclear power plant to potential military reprisals against Syria during a recent joint visit to Addison County.
MIDDLEBURY — Supporters and critics of a $70 million plan to extend a natural gas pipeline 43 miles from Colchester into Middlebury and Vergennes will have a chance to state their views at the Vermont Public Service Board's second (and final) scheduled public hearing on Tuesday, Sept. 10, beginning at 7 p.m. at the Middlebury Union Middle School gym at 48 Deerfield Lane.
ADDISON COUNTY — It was just two years ago that Yankee magazine heralded Addison County for providing the best road biking experience in New England. It's an accolade that comes as no surprise to local cyclists, who now want the rest of the world to come see what it has been missing.
To that end, local organizers are busy planning a major, annual cycling event that could draw thousands of people to Addison County to bike, shop and eat … and perhaps some day relocate their households and businesses.
MIDDLEBURY — Middlebury's ongoing effort to spruce up the Otter Creek riverfront has received another shot in the arm. The selectboard has agreed to acquire the deteriorating, historic powerhouse structure at the north end of the falls for the purpose of conserving it.

The best example is Angela Hucles, a reserve for much of her national team career who played every minute at the Olympics and finished as the top scorer on the tournament's highest-scoring team.
Only four starters on the USA's 2004 gold-medal team returned for the Beijing Olympics -- defenders Christie Rampone and Kate Markgraf playing in their third Olympics and Shannon Boxx andLindsay Tarpley, starters in 2004 and 2008 in midfield.
Three Americans who played in the gold-medal game were playing college soccer last year -- meaning that the young American team should remain an international force for years to come. For complete player analysis ...

READING - Jesse Biddle's first home start in such close proximity to his home was an interesting one.
Despite a wild conclusion, it was an impressive start for the Philadelphia native whose Mount Airy home is about 60 miles from FirstEnergy Stadium.
Biddle, the Phillies' 2010 first-round pick out of Germantown Friends School, pitched six sensational innings for the double-A Reading Fightin Phils Tuesday night. He allowed just one run on four hits while using his arsenal - fastball, curveball, and change-up - to strike out eight batters.
The 21-year-old lefthander walked just two batters through the first six innings and had thrown only 83 pitches, so Reading manager Dusty Wathan sent Biddle back out for the top of the seventh against Washington's double-A Harrisburg affiliate.
