Mega Man is reeling... That was a solid double-hammer from Invincible Mario. And Mega Man is setup for a Super Sonic double-team!

As expected, both the plumbers and the hedgehogs are more powerful than team megaman right now.

Honestly... Its either going to be between Team Mega and Team Mario. Quite simply, Team sonic isn't as versitile. Team Mega has more Weapons, But... you'd be surprised just how adaptible the mario brothers are.

And Other Ways Our Intuitions Deceive Us

Reading this book will make you less sure of yourself—and that's a good thing. In The Invisible Gorilla, Christopher Chabris and Daniel Simons, creators of one of psychology's most famous experiments, use remarkable stories and counterintuitive scientific findings to demonstrate an important truth: Our minds don't work the way we think they do. We think we see ourselves and the world as they really are, but we're actually missing a whole lot.
Chabris and Simons combine the work of other researchers with their own findings on attention, perception, memory, and reasoning to reveal how faulty intuitions often get us into trouble. In the process, they explain:
• Why a company would spend billions to launch a product that its own analysts know will fail
• How a police officer could run right past a brutal assault without seeing it
• Why award-winning movies are full of editing mistakes
• What criminals have in common with chess masters
• Why measles and other childhood diseases are making a comeback
• Why money managers could learn a lot from weather forecasters
Again and again, we think we experience and understand the world as it is, but our thoughts are beset by everyday illusions. We write traffic laws and build criminal cases on the assumption that people will notice when something unusual happens right in front of them. We're sure we know where we were on 9/11, falsely believing that vivid memories are seared into our minds with perfect fidelity. And as a society, we spend billions on devices to train our brains because we're continually tempted by the lure of quick fixes and effortless self-improvement.
The Invisible Gorilla reveals the myriad ways that our intuitions can deceive us, but it's much more than a catalog of human failings. Chabris and Simons explain why we succumb to these everyday illusions and what we can do to inoculate ourselves against their effects. Ultimately, the book provides a kind of x-ray vision into our own minds, making it possible to pierce the veil of illusions that clouds our thoughts and to think clearly for perhaps the first time.

I had a thigh lift with incisions in the gluteal crease. When I bend my leg the skin looks like it is being pulled. Will this even out on its own or can something be done to correct it so that the skin lies smoothly.
Thigh Lift and Skin Pulling? (photo)
Doctor Answers 2
Will Thigh Lift Scarring Even Out?
Most of the time the scarring does improve markely over the first year and the feeling of tightness does as well. From what I can see in the picture the scar looks well placed. It is important to understand that in all arm lifts and thigh lifts, there is a balance between taking too much skin and the closure being tight or opening later and taking too little and leaving you with loose skin.
Thigh lift scar pulling
Over time as things soften, the scar will most likely fade and the tension on flexing your leg will diminish. Good luck.

Cities in Thailand
Cheap Flights to Thailand with Vayama starting at $ 399
The beauty of Thailand is not only in the exotic temples, the never ending paddy fields, or the jewel coloured waters that surround the country, it is also in the people of Thailand who welcome visitors with open arms. That is probably why Thailand is such a popular destination with many flights landing there every day.
It is wise however to be on your guard, especially in the bigger cities where a wide smile and gesturing arms leading you towards a certain gem factory or clothes shops might have a bit more than friendliness to offer. These people are probably getting a commission to entice you into certain places.
But this wariness should not keep you from having a fantastic time in Thailand, whether that be riding on elephants in the northern part of Thailand or soaking up the scorching sun on one of the islands of Thailand then sleeping in a rickety cabin on the beach.
Most Western visitors to Thailand will not have taken the trouble to learn about Thai customs. It is worth knowing a few just to see the smiles on the faces of the locals as they realise you have taken the time to get to know Thailand.
There are so many glorious temples in Thailand that you will want to visit at least two or three. Make sure you are wearing long sleeves, and trousers and take off your shoes when entering any building that contains an image of Buddha. Also remember to leave a contribution as most temples in Thailand survive on donations alone.
It is definitely worth venturing beyond Bangkok if you have the time to travel around Thailand. Chiang Mai, in the north, is a very popular destination for tourists as you can hitch a ride with an elephant, go river rafting and marvel at the ancient mountains. There are also 300 temples to explore!
One great spectacle in this city, the second largest in Thailand, is the Sunday Walking Market. One of the main areas within the city is blocked off from traffic from late afternoon to midnight, and you can pick and choose goods displayed on all the colourful stalls there.
For a place to chill out in Thailand, visit one of the islands scattered around the country from Ko Samui for a great beach scene and nightlife, to Ko Tao for those with smaller budgets. Ko Chang boasts a jungle and marine national park.
Other places to see in Thailand include Ayuthaya for historical sights and architecture, Sukhothai, the former capital of Thailand, has old city ruins to meander around, and Kanchanaburi where temple caves offer an insight into spirit worship and you can see the bridge over the River Kwai.
If you really want to discover the true Thailand, make sure you get on a Vayama flight to this country and savour all that is there. If you cannot fit it all in, there is no reason why you cannot return another time as the Vayama flights offer such great deals.
Thai Etiquette Tips
Flying to Bangkok? Thailand is a country with many customs and traditions, and many are related to religion, which is why it is so important to be respectful and learn about their etiquette. Below are some etiquette tips to take with you on your trip to Thailand!
1. Dress Attire
- DO dress stylishly and modestly, particularly when visiting temples. Keep your attire neat and clean!
- DO wear nice pants and a nice shirt with or without a tie, if you are a man attending a business function. For women, wear a nice dress or a skirt and blouse for business functions. Don't wear tank-tops.
- DON'T wear shorts, short skirts, or tank-tops if you are entering a temple.
2. Table Manners
- DO use a fork and spoon when eating. Chopsticks are no longer traditionally used in Thailand. Hold the spoon in your right hand and push the food into your spoon with the fork.
- DO leave a little bit of food on your plate when you're done eating to indicate that you are full.
- DO put your spoon and fork at the 5:25 position when you are done eating.
- DON'T use your left hand while eating.
- DON'T snap your fingers or yell to get a waiter's attention when dining out.
3. Tipping
- DO leave a tip in all restaurants. Leave the tip with your change leftover from the bill, or tip 10% at a more upscale restaurant.
- DO tip a cab driver by rounding up your total fare.
- DO tip hotel porters 10-20 Thai baht.
4. Gift Giving and Accepting Gifts
- DO give and receive gifts with your right hand, not your left.
- DON'T open a gift until later.
- DO give gifts such as liquor, books, or sweets.
- DO thank the gift giver with a "wai" (see below).
5. Body Gestures
- DO understand the meaning of the "wai." Wai is when a person puts their hands together close to their body at chest level and gives a slight bow. The higher the hands, the more respectful the wai. It can mean "Hello", "I'm sorry", or "Good-bye."
- DON'T point with one finger. It's considered impolite.
- DON'T show affection in public or even touch someone of the opposite sex.
- DON'T pass something over someone's head. The head is considered sacred in Thailand.
- DON'T point with your feet or use your feet to touch something. Feet are considered dirty, because they are the lowest part of the body.
- DON'T talk with your hands or put your hands in your pockets while talking to someone.
- DON'T step on a threshold when going through a doorway. Step over it instead. Thais believe that a spirit lives in the threshold.
6. Greetings
- DO greet with a wai if you feel comfortable. However, as a foreigner, you aren't expected to initiate with a wai, but you must always return a wai to be polite.
- DON'T greet children, waiters, vendors, etc. with a wai. If they greet you with a wai, simply smile and nod back at them.
- DO shake hands if not offered a wai.
7. Visitors Etiquette
- DO bring a gift for your host. A nice host gift would be brandy, flowers, cakes, fruit, etc.
- DO take your shoes off upon entering a home.
8. Business Meeting
- DO expect men to primarily conduct business, although women are beginning to get more involved in Thailand's business world.
- DON'T rush negotiations. Business decision-making can be slow in Thailand.
- DO be subtle. Directness doesn't always go over well in Thailand.
- DO expect to be addressed by your title and first name, i.e. Mr. Bob. This isn't to be rude or disrespectful.
- DO introduce colleagues of a lower professional status before introducing yourself in a formal business introduction.
9. Religious Etiquette
- DO dress conservatively. Women should wear long skirts or pants and covered shoulders. Don't wear sandals.
- DON'T take photos at a temple.
- DO remove shoes upon entering.
- DON'T sit with your feet pointing towards a Buddha. Sit cross-legged or with your feet tucked under you.
- DON'T touch a monk, give him anything, sit next to him, or sit above him.
- DON'T touch a Buddha image. They are sacred. Don't climb on top of it, move it, or even sit next to it to pose for a picture. It's disrespectful.
Although the above list of etiquette may seem somewhat overwhelming, as a foreigner, you won't be expected to partake in all of their customs. Nevertheless, be conservative in your actions, especially in temples since they are such sacred places. Keep that in mind and have a wonderful trip to Thailand!

I recently surveyed over 3,000 people about their experience with tours of the Franklin battlefield and related sites.
Here's the first question with results:
The kind of Battle of Franklin Tour I'm interested in would be for someone who . . .
Interesting that some 37% are basically newbies to just familiar with the battle, and 63%consider themselves fairly knowledgeable to well-versed. Shows that this Facebook group has a large percentage of people who consider themselves fairly knowledgeable about the battle.
Stephen M. "Sam" Hood will be signing his new book, The Lost Papers of Confederate General John Bell Hood, at the February 8th Franklin Civil War Roundtable in Franklin. This is event is free to the public and begins at 3:00 PM. Sunday, February 8th 2015 at the Franklin Police Headquarters at 900 Columbia Pike.
The book can be pre-ordered on Amazon.
From the Publisher:
Scholars hail the find as "the most important discovery in Civil War scholarship in the last half century." The invaluable cache of Confederate General John Bell Hood's personal papers includes wartime and postwar letters from comrades, subordinates, former enemies and friends, exhaustive medical reports relating to Hood's two major wounds, and dozens of touching letters exchanged between Hood and his wife, Anna. This treasure trove of information is being made available for the first time for both professional and amateur Civil War historians in Stephen "Sam" Hood's The Lost Papers of Confederate General John Bell Hood.
The historical community long believed General Hood's papers were lost or destroyed, and numerous books and articles were written about him without the benefit of these invaluable documents. In fact, the papers were carefully held for generations by a succession of Hood's descendants, and in the autumn of 2012 transcribed by collateral descendent Sam Hood as part of his research for his book John Bell Hood: The Rise, Fall, and Resurrection of a Confederate General (Savas Beatie, 2013.)
This collection offers more than 200 documents. While each is a valuable piece of history, some shed important light on some of the war's lingering mysteries and controversies. For example, several letters from multiple Confederate officers may finally explain the Confederate failure to capture or destroy Schofield's Union army at Spring Hill, Tennessee, on the night of November 29, 1864. Another letter by Lt. Gen. Stephen D. Lee goes a long way toward explaining Confederate Maj. Gen. Patrick Cleburne's gallant but reckless conduct that resulted in his death at Franklin. Lee also lodges serious allegations against Confederate Maj. Gen. William Bate. While these and others offer a military perspective of Hood the general, the revealing letters between he and his beloved and devoted wife, Anna, help us better understand Hood the man and husband.
Historians and other writers have spent generations speculating about Hood's motives, beliefs, and objectives, and the result has not always been flattering or even fully honest. Now, long-believed "lost" firsthand accounts previously unavailable offer insights into the character, personality, and military operations of John Bell Hood the general, husband, and father.
Stephen M. "Sam" Hood is a graduate of Kentucky Military Institute, Marshall University (bachelor of arts, 1976), and a veteran of the United States Marine Corps. A collateral descendent of General John Bell Hood, Sam is a retired industrial construction company owner, past member of the Board of Directors of the Blue Gray Education Society of Chatham, Virginia, and is a past president of the Board of Directors of Confederate Memorial Hall Foundation in New Orleans. Sam resides in his hometown of Huntington, West Virginia and Myrtle Beach, South Carolina with his wife of thirty-five years, Martha, and is the proud father of two sons: Derek Hood of Lexington, Kentucky, and Taylor Hood of Barboursville, West Virginia.

$150,000 for the Battlefield
A Fundraising Event for Battlefield Preservation
October 16, 2014
On a single night in mid-October, The Battle of Franklin Trust will attempt to secure $150,000 toward the purchase of the Lovell property, which is adjacent to The Carter House.
Once part of the Carter family garden, the Lovell property was caught in the midst of the some of the most furious fighting during the Battle of Franklin. It is currently home to the Flower Shop and Williamson County CASA, both of which will relocate elsewhere in Franklin after the purchase. On May 27, The Battle of Franklin Trust and Franklin's Charge jointly entered into a contract and agreed to raise $2.8 million in one year to complete the purchase of the property. Encompassing 1.6 acres, the land will become part of the 20-acre Carter's Hill Battlefield Park.
Local developer Calvin Lehew recently committed to lead the fundraising charge with a $50,000 donation. At least five other donors have contributed amounts of at least $5,000 each and the Trust aims to raise the remaining $75,000 on or before Oct. 16.
This signature kickoff event will be held at The Carter House on Thursday, Oct.16 from 4 to 7 p.m. Funds raised will be allocated entirely toward the Lovell property project. The property is perhaps the most important piece of Civil War battlefield in American that has yet to be preserved. It is also a crucial component of the Carter's Hill Park that is emerging along Columbia Pike.
During the $150,000 For The Battlefield event, donation and pledge tables will be set up around the historic site for guests to contribute to the cause. To reach its goal, the Trust will need at least 300 individuals or organizations to each make a minimum $250 donation, but any larger contribution is welcome. Pledges may be made as long as they are fulfilled by May 31, 2015.
"This one of a kind event is an opportunity for the local community to engage in battlefield preservation and make a profound impact," said Battle of Franklin Trust CEO Eric A. Jacobson. "Saving this property is a legacy that future generations, both here in Franklin and across the country, will appreciate for generations to come."
The Carter House is located at 1140 Columbia Ave, Franklin, TN 37064. Catering will be provided by Copper Kettle and drinks will be provided by Red Dog Wine & Spirits. Three John Paul Strain historic art prints, all depicting events at Spring Hill and Franklin, will be auctioned during the event, and all donors will receive a free Battle of Franklin Trust annual membership as well as an "I Helped Save the Battlefield" t-shirt. For more information, please call Laurie McPeak at 615-794-0903.

Good 3.6 /5 from 54 reviews
We booked a front sea view room and we really appreciated it. However this rooms was 3 stars, and this was not clearly stated in the booking (we thought it was 4 stars). We discovered that the hotel consista of 2 structures connected by an underground tunnel. There is a private pool and a small beach terrace, which are very convenient for holidays with kids. We tried the front view restaurant, and we appreciated its location and view while the food was average.

When it comes to penis enlargement products, there is little doubt that, right now, herbal pills are running the show. So why should someone switch from something that they have used for years, to something that is relatively new and for which there are a lot fewer reviews on the Internet?
First of all, when it comes to ingredients, there is nothing all that different in ProEnhance patch that you can find in your regular herbal pills. The ingredients that you can find in ProEnhance are also herbal and have been in used all over the world for centuries. If you've already been using pills, then you probably knew about ingredients such as Saw Palmetto, Ginseng, Gotu Kola and others. Read more...
Important information on ProEnhance Penis Enlargement Patch
Penis enlargement is today one of the most popular things in the world. Not all of us are born with a big penis and certainly a lot more of us want a bigger one. So, what can you do in case you have a small or average penis?
One thing that you can do is to try penis enlargement devices. However, when you look at the fact that you need to wear these devices for hours per day and that they can be quite discomfort and even pain, the prospect of wearing these doesn't look so good. Another thing that you could try are herbal pills. They are pretty easy to use, certainly easier than penis enlargement devices, but then, when you look at the fact that the pill can often lose a lot of its effectiveness on the way through your digestive system to the bloodstream makes these pills often useless. Not to mention the fact that if you forget to take your daily pill, the whole program is practically ruined. Read more...

A lot of us guys aren't really blessed with a big penis. Now, we may excel in some other things, like being smart or strong, or knowing how to solve a Rubik cube or to double park our car, but when it comes to penis size, nature was not very kind to some people and this can be a really embarrassing problem. Of course, having a small penis is not something that you want to share with anyone, so you keep this problem to yourself most often.
ProEnhance Penis Enlargement Patch can put a stop on this once and for all. No more pills, forget about penile surgery, ProEnhance patch can increase the size of your penis in a few weeks. How? Well, if you are interested in this, and I'm sure you are, seeing that you are reading this review on ProEnhance, then continue reading. Read more...
Is ProEnhance Penis Patch a good solution for having a bigger penis
Do you have a small penis and can't completely satisfy a woman? Yeah, like you are going to answer that question. Well, if you are reading this, then I/m going to assume that you are interested in penis enlargement products.
So far, you might have been using one of these two: pills and traction devices. Have they been helpful? You are reading this article, so I guess that the answer is no. Sure, they might have provided you with a little stronger erections and maybe even increased the size of your penis by an inch or so after several weeks (wow, what a success!), but you had so many problems that you just had to stop using these products. I mean. take pills, for instance. We take pills all the time for various reasons. We have a headache, we take a pill. Want to lose weight? Don't eat food, pop a pill instead. And so on. So, someone thought, why not take a pill that can increase the size of your penis and improve your erection? Certainly a noble task if you ask me, but the whole plan was flawed and here is why. You see, while the pills are easy to use (just pop one every day), the fact that they need to go through the digestive system makes them work a lot slower than you hoped for. And, let's not forget the fact that a lot of the pill can get destroyed in this process. When you look at it like that, herbal pills no longer look like a good solution for increasing the size of your penis, do they? Read more...
Want to increase the size of your penis? Try ProEnhance
One of the most embarrassing problems that a man can have is a small penis. Fortunately, there are a couple of ways to deal with this. First, you can try male enhancement pills. The upside of them is that they are made from natural ingredients and therefore pretty much safe for you to use and are also simple for taking. The downside of them is that they need some time before they start working, because they need to go through the digestive system of a person. Also, during that "passage" a lot of the pill's ingredients can be destroyed. Next, you have traction devices. They use a proven method of traction to help you increase the size of your penis. The problem here is that they are often uncomfortable to wear and will certainly hamper the rest of your daily routine. Third option shouldn't even be discussed if you are not completely desperate for a bigger penis, because you will need to go under the knife for it. Read more...

Big Daddy DeWayne Mills is Back!
Look who's back! "Big Daddy" DeWayne Mills and the Golden Gorilla made a comeback at the Spring Shootout at Holly Springs Motorsports Park in Mississippi last weekend! Considering the damage taken from his wild ride at Lights Out 6, they were able to get the Camaro back to its original shape very quickly, and the new front end looks perfect!
Mills and crew dished out the low E.T. and MPH of each round of qualifying and eliminations. Check out the table below to see how Mills and crew chief, Jamie Miller had the Golden Gorilla dialed in.

Though he lost on a holeshot in the final round, his dominant performance at Holly Springs proved that Mills Racing is back and you can bet that they will be hard at it this year!

Bell/Fiscus In Quickest-Ever Pro Mod Field
Edmonton, Alberta – June 08, 2015 – BELL / FISCUS RACING (BFR) proved they've got what it takes to compete with the top Pro Mod teams as both BFR drivers qualified well in the quickest field in history at the 46th annual Toyota NHRA Summernationals race at Old Bridge Township Raceway Park in Englishtown, New Jersey on June 5-7, 2015.
Jim Bell's first Pro Mod qualifying run with his twin turbocharged, Pro Line Racing 481X-powered 1969 Chevrolet Camaro was a clean 6.011 at 232.43 mph blast which showed a lot of promise. For round two, Bell launched hard off the line and recorded a 1.002-second 60-foot time. He kept the car hooked up well and continued on to trip the beams in just 5.925 seconds at 236.88 mph, which his best run of the weekend. For his third and final qualifying run, Bell showed a lot of consistency and went 5.941 at 238.22 mph to rank fourteenth overall, just 0.15-seconds off number one qualifier Mike Janis' 5.775 ET.
Teammate Kevin Fiscus also had some great runs in Pro Mod qualifying with his twin turbo, PLR-powered 2012 Ford Mustang. For his first hit, Fiscus went 5.949 at 248.16 mph. He improved significantly in round two, and the resulting 5.861 at 249.26 mph run also included a fantastic 0.989-secong 60-foot time. Although his 5.873 at 250.32 mph pass in round three didn't best his earlier numbers, Fiscus went straight down the grove and showed that his car was performing exactly as he wanted it to. As a result, he qualified seventh overall in the extremely competitive field, a mere 0.086-seconds behind the class leader.
In eliminations, Bell faced off against Bob Rahaim in round one. The two drivers cut almost identical lights, and left the line together. Rahaim, the #3 qualifier, held a slight advantage over Bell and continued on to finish in front of the BFR driver by approximately fourteen feet. Fiscus, however, gave spectators an "edge of their seat" performance in the first round. His opponent, Eric Latino, qualified in the #10 position. Latino left the line first and held the lead for most of the run, but Fiscus was able to chase him down at the last second for the win. It was an incredibly close race – Fiscus won by 0.0024 seconds, which equated to approximately ten inches! Unfortunately, Fiscus' luck wore off in round two when he was paired against a fellow turbocharged driver, Don Walsh Jr., who had qualified #2. Walsh had the starting line advantage, but Fiscus rallied to regain the lead. Walsh was able to make up the difference, though, and passed Fiscus as they neared the stripe.
"It was so exciting to have both of our cars perform so well, and to say that we were a part of the quickest qualifying field in NHRA Pro Modified history," said Bell. "The numbers the cars ran, and the data we recorded, proves that we are definitely on the right path and all of our hard work is paying off. That's a great feeling."
Both Bell and Fiscus will be competing in the Pro Mod class at the 15th annual NHRA Thunder Valley Nationals at Bristol Dragway in Bristol, TN on June 19th-21st, 2015 as the Bell/Fiscus Racing team continues their 23-race commitment for the 2015 season.

Pharris Wins at Spring Shootout 2015
Daniel Pharris went from well known X275 racer to major Drag Radial player overnight after debuting his new combination and bringing home a win at the postponed Holly Springs Spring Shootout in Mississippi!
Pharris was able to make huge strides, pass after pass with help from his brand new PLR Outlaw Drag Radial turnkey package! Including a PLR 481X assembled by Jeff Burns Racing Engines, FuelTech FT500 EFI system with pre-loaded tune-up managed by Wade Hopkins at Southern Speed Racing, twin Precision 98mm turbochargers, and Pro Torque custom torque converter.
Pharris qualified #2 in the Radial Wars class with a 4.23@185mph! In a 1st round bye he went 4.23@188mph! Round 2 matched Pharris against Enzo Pecchini, his 4.21@189mph pass was enough to send the Pharris Motorsports team to the finals!
In the finals, Pharris would face one of Drag Radial's biggest names, "Big Daddy" DeWayne Mills. Wade Hopkins of Southern Speed Racing turned the power up for this matchup! Pharris went 4.13 to Mills' 4.10, but took the win on a holeshot!
Congrats to the whole Pharris Motorsports team, Daniel, Tyler, Wade Hopkins and Southern Speed Racing, Jeff Burns Racing Engines! They really put on a good show and showed the drag radial world that there is a new powerhouse in town!

Bell Fiscus Racing at PDRA St Louis
BELL / FISCUS RACING (BFR) made the most of a wet weekend at the PDRA Mid-America Open race at Gateway Motorsports Park just outside of St. Louis, Illinois on May 29-30, 2015 in the Pro Boost class with a strong qualifying performance and a semi-finals appearance.
During the first round of Pro Boost qualifying, Kevin Fiscus twin turbo, PLR-powered 2012 Ford Mustang put down a nice, smooth 3.943 at 202.55 mph pass in the eighth mile right off of the trainer. For round two, Fiscus improved his numbers and went 3.888 at 203.98 mph which placed him third overall. The third and final round yielded even better results from Fiscus, and his 3.872 at 204.98 mph run kept him in the number three qualifier position. Meanwhile, Jim Bell's twin turbocharged, Pro Line Racing 481X-powered 1969 Chevrolet Camaro got a little loose in the first round of Pro Boost qualifying, but Bell expertly recovered and piloted the car to a quick elapsed time of 3.968-seconds at 190.59 mph. His second qualifying run, however, resulted in an even better 3.875 at 201.79 mph pass which ranked Bell in the number one spot. Round three, however, brought with it some tire shake for Bell. As a result, he was forced to lift and clicked off a 5.088 at 125.44 mph run and dropped back into fourth overall.
Moving into eliminations, both Fiscus and Bell were pleased with how well their cars were performing despite having to work around multiple rain delays. In round one, Bell faced off against the number thirteen qualifier, Alan Pittman, and quickly dispatched his opponent with a winning 3.893 at 200.77 mph pass. Fiscus, too, was victorious in his match against Gerry Capano, the number fourteen qualifier.
Bell was unable to advance in round two, as he was defeated by Michael Biehle II, the number five qualifier. Bell cut a better light, and held the lead past the half-track mark, but Biehle was able to get around and crossed the finish ahead of Bell by approximately five feet. Fiscus, however, took out Eddie Rogers who had qualified eleventh and moved into the semi-finals where he lined up against Kevin Rivenbark. Fiscus got the holeshot advantage and left the line first, but slowed mid-track and gave up the win to the opposing driver.
"We're really glad that all of our team's hard work is paying off, and the cars are now performing like we expected them to," said Bell. "This was a great weekend with great qualifying results for us both, and Kevin drove like a champ to get to the semi-finals. We're going to work on keeping this momentum going!"
Both Bell and Fiscus will be competing in the Pro Mod class at the 46th annual Toyota NHRA Summernationals at Old Bridge Township Raceway Park in Englishtown, NJ on June 5th-7th, 2015 as the Bell/Fiscus Racing team continues their 23-race commitment for the 2015 season.
Biehle Goes to Finals in his PDRA Debut
In their first ever PDRA race, Michael Biehle and family entered the Biehle Motorsports Mustang into the Pro Boost category. Despite the car being more than 100lbs overweight, Biehle and his tuner, Jamie Miller felt confident that they had a competitive race car. They were right!
Biehle qualified #5 with a 3.87@202mph in a very tight field. Miller had the PLR 481X-powered Mustang resembling a bracket car all the way to the finals. In the Pro Boost finale, Biehle had trouble getting the car staged resulting in a red light. He did make a pass though, going 4.49@205mph.
Take a look at Biehle's passes over the weekend, his car was a model of consistency and only got better each time down the track!

Congrats to Michael, Jamie, and the Biehle Motorsports family for putting on a great show in their PDRA debut!

Larson Wins NHRA Topeka in Street CarAfter a down to the wire heartbreaking loss at Drag Week 2014, Larry Larson and his hardworking crew shocked the world by breaking the 5 second barrier in a street car! That was last year...
In 2015 we hadn't heard much from the Larson camp, other than the fact that he is working hard on Jim Bell's Pro Mod! Last weekend we saw that Larson was entering the Top Sportsman class at NHRA Topeka! We were in for a treat!
Larson's 1998 S10 is powered by a PLR 620ci PB5001 BBC with twin Precision Pro Mod turbos and the FuelTech FT500 EFI system! He started the race very strong with a 6.29@228mph pass to take the #1 qualifying spot! With a whole lot of skill and a little bit of luck Larson found himself 1 round away from his first Wally! He concluded the event with a blistering 6.17@240mph for the win!
This victory stands as the first turbocharged entry to win Top Sportsman at a National Event!
Being a part of this team's success has been an exciting experience and we very proud of their acomplishments.

The SilverStone SG01 Evolution Small Form Factor Case is one very impressive product. As a matter of fact, it's one of the best SFF cases on the market today. It's all aluminum so it's lightweight, with excellent build quality and design. One limiting factor many SFF cases have is poor air circulation. This is not the situation here due to the number of fans and way they are implemented. The case comes with two 5.25" external drive bays and two 3.5" internal drive bays. They include two 80mm fans but two optional fans can be installed. They also have an optional carry bag so you can easily transport the case. No question about it, this product has LAN Party written all over it! Watch the Video to find out more...

Today's Parable of the Widow's Mite
It's very unlikely that at the time Jesus told the parable of the widow's charitable contribution at the Temple that he had the foggiest idea of what might be meant by the term "Bush Tax Cuts." Nevertheless, today's article by Judith Warner in the New York Times Magazine, titled "Helping Hand? Why Giving the Rich a Break Doesn't Necessarily do Anthing for the Poor?" reads like a twenty-first century telling of the same tale.
We read in Mark 12:41-44 of Jesus's teaching about the generosity of the poorest, while the rich remained selfish and self-gratifying.
He sat down opposite the treasury and observed how the crowd put money into the treasury. Many rich people put in large sums. A poor widow also came and put in two small coins worth a few cents. Calling his disciples to himself, he said to them, "Amen, I say to you, this poor widow put in more than all the other contributors to the treasury. For they have all contributed from their surplus wealth, but she, from her poverty, has contributed all she had, her whole livelihood." (NAB)
Some things never change.
What this New York Times Magazine article shows is that the people with the lowest means are more likely (often, significantly more likely, that is by percentage) to share their earnings and take care of others. This happens more commonly through charitable giving. But even the term "charitable giving" is misleading, especially given that gifts to one's Alma Mater and cultural institutions (which are two of the largest recipients of those proportionately-small wealthy contributions) are "technically" considered charitable contributions (at least by the IRS).
The wealthier one is, (statistically) the less likely that person is to make a charitable gift that would in any way directly (or even indirectly) reach the poor. Yet, the wealthier one is, the more likely that person is to have disposable income that could be best utilized in aiding those who – often due to no circumstances of their own – are less fortunate. So-called trickle-down economics are bogus. While it seems counter-intuitive (which should make us reconsider our popular cultural myths and narratives), it is not the rich who can or will help others, but the poor. If anyone deserves a tax cut, it's those who have the least to give and yet continue to be more generous than the selfish wealthy.
If Jesus were sitting outside a Starbucks on Capitol Hill watching legislators scurrying about deliberating on whether to extend Bush Tax Cuts, what do you think he would say?
2 Responses to "Today's Parable of the Widow's Mite"
Thank you – i had not read the article you mentioned but I will. I am sitting in a hotel room and after hearing Obama's speach i tried to sleep but kept thinking about the cruel debate in Congress about cutting welfare for the poor. I literally had to climb back out of bed and search the internet to see if anyone else is making this connection. Bless you.
I note that the only social programs of any sort in those days were not administered by gov't but by the temple. In the versus before this lesson Jesus is angry with the Priests and the rich. The analogy to today's tax rate debate is powerful. The way I read this Jesus is making a moral argument that its not enough that the rich pay more in absolute terms to the poor; Rather he is saying they should be paying a higher percentage which of course sounds like a progressive thing to say.
[…] If we read Jesus' comments as simply praising her as an example of generosity, then we might be doing more harm than good. We might be perpetuating the ways of thinking that lead to the financial injustice and inequality that still plague our society today instead of facing the harsh reality that things are not as they should be. The rich keep getting richer, and the poor keep getting poorer. A few years ago, there was a New York Times article that highlighted the myth of philanthropy and the "benefits to the poor" of having the super wealthy. The article revealed that the very wealthy, or the "legal experts" of today, actually give less than those who have middle and lower incomes. And what Jesus observers with the legal experts in contrast with the widow reveals that what was true in his time remains true in our time. Those with the least continue to give more (based on what they have) than the wealthy (https://datinggod.org/2010/08/22/today%E2%80%99s-parable-of-the-widow%E2%80%99s-mite/) […]

Lobnan Al Akhdhar: The best restaurant in Sohar
One of the greatest food experiences we had. Everything was extremely good: from starters to main dishes. Staff was very friendly and prices reasonable.
Favorite Dish: Everything :) but haloumi and meat pies gain gold medal.Add to your Trip Planner
Kargeen Cafe: Don't bring your fire engineering consultant!
Good tasting food in a very pleasant outdoor setting, cusioned benches around glass-topped coffee tables surrounded by plants and trees (fine in April, but apparently gets very hot after April and too hot to eat outside). All of my meal came with flames or hot coals under it.
Lively meeting place. Bithdays are celebrated with loud singing and fireworks.
The Onion soup was very good and comes in clay bowl with a little candle in a seperate pot beneath it to keep it warm
The mixed grill arrives at your table sitting on it's own barbeque - meat excellent but don't eat too slowly otherwise you'll incinerate the lot.
The air can get a little thick with the aromas from incense and sheesha pipes - yet more hot stuff - but that adds to the ambience.
Order a lot of food and you'll quickly run out of space on your table if you have four or five people and try not to knock over the sheesha or you'll upset the cat sitting under your chair
Favorite Dish: Mixed grillAdd to your Trip Planner
Sheraton hotel restaurant: Chicken anf seafood.
On wendesday, the restaurant of the Sheraton Hotel of Oman offers a really good seafood dinner buffet for only 20 €.
Favorite Dish: Seafood.
In the other sites of the city you can eat for a few money.
You can go to local retaurants or to a small shops.
Spiced chicken is really good, the tea and the coffe are great, and fruit juices are very natural.
Coffe is the tipical drink in Oman.
Mango juice is great and very cheap.Add to your Trip Planner
Fisherman's Lodge: Qurm Fish Restaurant
Located in Qurm near the Crown Plaza hotel. It was the concierge who indicated us the adress.
Food is plentiful: take starters if you're hungry only. They are a whole meal in itself!
We had 2 starters : stuffed calamari, seafood platters
Then Octopus platter and a fresh filet that you pick into the fish shop itself. Lemon mint juices to go along and a mint tea.All in 18 OMR. Expensive for Oman, but so cheap for Paris (would be the double here)
Good quality and freshnees, friendly waiters as always in Oman and a nice patron from Egypt.Add to your Trip Planner
Woodlands: Great South Indian Cuisine
Those familiar with the name 'Woodlands' might associate it to a chain of south India vegetarian places. Well this place has all the veggie options plus some great meaty ones also! According to the Oman Today "Woodlands is one of the best in the city, and the only restaurant specialising in Chettinad cuisine". You'll also find the staff VERY friendly and quite willing to give you advice on your trip. Just don't mention the cricket world cup to them as I think they might be a little upset now!!
Favorite Dish: Anything from the South Indian speciliaty section of the menu, add the coconut rice and a litre of house red!!Add to your Trip Planner
Doesnt Matter: Tasty Kbabs etc
Oman has some amazing hole in the wall type restaurants and most travellers would rather choose something from a guide book and that is their choice but I have eaten at dozens and dozens of wee shops in Oman and 90% of them have been great and clean and quite tasty so if you stop in a small town dont be put off by the exterior of the restaurant because there may be some tasty dishes that you are missing out on!
Favorite Dish: Whole chickens for 1 rials as well as anything IndianAdd to your Trip Planner
The Sheraton Beach Resort near Shatti Al Qurm in Muscat has an amazing seafood buffet for about $25 US but worth every cent. It is in the most beautiful area in Muscat and the food is excellent. After you finish your meal you can stroll down the beach and it is gorgeous in the evening.
Favorite Dish: Everything including the shrimp and lobster.Add to your Trip Planner
Camel's Milk
This tip is not about a restaurant, but about a food staple among the nomadic Bedu (sometimes called Bedouin) of the Arabian Peninsula. Historically, the camel has been the most important animal to the Bedu. Its meat and milk were food staples, it was used for transportation and as a beast of burden in general, and its hide was used for leather.
Camel's milk is healthy. It has half the fat of cow's milk, and has less sugar, making it good for diabetics. It is high in vitamin C, and is supposedly good for vascular problems. And in many Arabic countries, women drink it to get a clear and smooth complexion.
I had the opportunity to try camel's milk when I was in Oman. I bought a small container of camel's milk at a convenience store in Buraimi, figuring that I might never have the chance to try camel's milk again.
Later, during our lunch break, I took a sip of the milk, and the members of my birdwatching group could tell by the look on my face that I did not like it. I thought it tasted like salty and rancid cow's milk. I took a few more sips, hoping that I would get used to it, but it was awful. Almost everyone in my group then tried a sip, but none of us liked it.Add to your Trip Planner
any street vendors: Street Fast Food Like No Other!
for some reason i enjoy street fast food more often that i should... most times it's safe and it's always very tasty and very cheap- fast food places are either arab foods or indian foods and are usually located in a shopping area- you'll see meat being skewered outside the joint in the arab places- in the indian places you'll see a display case of sweet and salty foods.
Favorite Dish: arab fast food- shawarma (pita roll with meat and humus in it); filafel (small bean patties)
indian fast food- vegetable samosa (deep fried large dumping with potato,peas in it); potato vadaa (deep fried ball of spicy potato).Related to:

Mumtaz Mahal; Golden Oryx: Exquisite Restaurants
Mumtaz Mahal is still one of the best expensive Indian food restaurants. Nice view and has a bar/lounge area at the bottom.
Golden Oryx- one of the finest chinese/mongolian restaurants- excellent service.
Favorite Dish: mumtaz mahal- ask the manager to make recommendations based on some of your general prefernces- do the starter, main course and dessert.
golden oryx- any of their recommendations- but the fried icecream is a MUST! do the starter, main course and dessert.Related to:

Buffet at Crowne Plaza Hotel, Muscat
The buffet at the cafe located at the basement of the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Muscat (Qurum area) is a very good experience with delicious food and a very good ambience. It cost about 8 Omani rial per person, and there are many variety of food ranging from western, local and nice desserts as well. After the buffet, you can walk outside and have a beautiful view of the Qurum area, sea and surrounding mountains since the hotel is on top of a small hill.Add to your Trip Planner
Kargeen Cafe (at Madinat As Sultan Qaboos Complex)
The Kargeen Cafe at Madinat As Sultan Qaboos Complex (in Muscat) is one of Oman's finest restaurant with a very good ambience of the old world charm. This is essentially a coffee shop with delicious food such as samboosa, Kargeen salad, New Orleans steak etc. Many locals eat at this place, especially at night and smoking sheeshas can also be seen in this place. I had a good dinner with Mr Virgil Williams (VT member DesertRat) and his wife Myra at this place during my visit in Jan 2005.Add to your Trip Planner
The pink coloured drink at Mutrah Souq
When you are entering the famous Mutrah Souq in Muscat at the entrance of the Cornicle, there is a stall selling various drinks (see photo) and one of them is a pink coloured drink (cannot remember the name). This looks like a drink we have in Singapore called "Bandung" which is a mixture of rose syrup and milk, but the taste is slightly different but nice. You should try it when you are visiting the souq, especially on a hot day.Add to your Trip Planner
You must try the Halwa !
The Halwa is a very famous dessert in Oman which the locals love to eat, and many overseas visitors buy back to their home. Essentially, it is a paste which is made from sugar, water and some spices with cashew nuts on the top. The taste is very good (though it does not look appetising) and it can be stored for very long time. Best of all, it can be brought onto the plane all the way back to your own country. The cost of one plate of Halwa ranges from 4-20 Omani rials.Add to your Trip Planner
Chicken, mutton or fish branyani
One of the cheap and filling local food to take in Oman is the chicken, fish or mutton branyani at the local Indian restaurants which are found in various towns of Oman. It comes with a large plate of brayani rice (with spices), curry and either chicken, fish or mutton. The average price per plate is about 1-3 omani rials.Add to your Trip Planner

Fine Art Photography by Michael and Amy
We are Michael and Amy, fine art photographers; we live in a woodsy area of State College, PA with our two cats, Salem and Camille.
The story behind ara133photography...
We have learned that the most important thing you can do to be happy is follow your heart, and not listen to what others tell you you should be doing.
Michael was working in sales and marketing, but decided that pursuing photography full-time was the right decision. It's now nearly 3 years since he made the choice to become a professional photographer, and it's been one of the best decisions he's ever made.
He always tells me he loves the spontaneity of photography - to him, each photo shoot is a blank, empty canvas waiting to be filled. He loves the surprises in creating - he says you never know what you might find or how you're going to catch it that day – you never have the exact same lighting, scene, and situation twice. He likes looking at things from a different perspective and photographing them in a way that other people might not immediately recognize.
I became interested in photography after inheriting a film camera from my uncle Jimmy. I eventually became the photographer for our school newspaper in High School, but since then have become more interested in art photography as opposed to journalistic photography. My images are often inspired by books and poems.
I went to school for biology (in fact, Michael and I met while working for the same scientific company), and originally had intentions on becoming a veterinarian. After several emotionally intense internships, I realized that career path was not going to work out for me (bawling my eyes out every day was just too stressful!), and I decided to make some changes. As a student, I needed some supplemental income, and decided to look into selling my photography. It was then that I stumbled across Etsy, and ara133photography was born!
We now run our Etsy shop together, as a husband and wife team, and have learned a lot of lessons on teamwork. We both love having a photography shop on Etsy! We're passionate about photography and about growing as artists, and are always trying something new, whether it be a different way of taking photos or different methods of post-process editing. Our Etsy shop has allowed us to take our art from a hobby, to a true source of income, which has allowed Michael to "quit his day job" and focus all of his attention and time on his art. We hope you enjoy our work! :)

Professional Photography Print Lab

All photographs are printed on high-quality archival paper by a professional print lab located in the United States. We have been working with this same professional lab since early 2008.
Shop policies
In addition to providing affordable high-quality photography/art, we are also committed to providing our customers a wonderful shopping experience on Etsy. We have made recent improvements to provide better service and have all of our standard prints (4x4, 4x6, 5x5, 5x7, 8x8, 8x10) in stock at all times. Our goal is to ship all orders for items in stock within 1 day of receiving payment (same day when possible) . Sometimes a print will sell out and be back-ordered, but we respond to every order and let you know when your order will ship (usually only 4-6 days for back-ordered items). We hope these improvements help to provide a higher level of service that we and our customers have come to expect.
Accepted payment methods
- Accepts Etsy gift cards
***SALES TAX: Please note, PayPal or Etsy will automatically charge Pennsylvania residents 6% sales tax for purchases from my shop.
US, Canada, All Other Countries:
First Class Mail for all prints up to 8x10, and small prints matted to 8x10.
Priority Mail US: for any prints over 11x14, or multiple matted prints (due to weight and size of the box they are shipped in for safety) This is denoted in the listings in the shop.
Priority INTERNATIONAL: For large prints and heavy matted pieces, I use International First Class mail or International Priority depending on package size and weight (noted in the listings).
I mark "other" on all customs forms and list the value of the item not including shipping. Buyer is responsible for any customs fees.

Refunds and Exchanges
RETURNS: All return requests must be made within 30 DAYS from the date of purchase. Please send us a convo through Etsy if you would like to return an item within 30 days from the date you purchased the print(s). We'll help to set up the return and as soon as we receive the item(s) in good condition, we will happily refund your purchase.
DAMAGED ITEMS: We do our very best to package your order to arrive quickly, safely and securely, however in the rare instance when an item arrives damaged, we are always willing to work with you. Generally we don't ask that you ship damaged items back, but a convo or e-mail with a photograph of the damaged item or package would be great! All items shipped USPS Priority Mail are Insured, therefore photographs may be necessary to file a claim with the Post Office. Again, just send a convo and we're happy to work things out with you :)
ITEM NOT RECEIVED: We provide USPS Tracking numbers for all Domestic orders, so If you haven't received your item, there are two things you should do:
1. Under the "Your Account" tab, click on the "Purchases" link. Here you should see a list of your recent orders. Go to the order you placed with us and under "Shipped" you should see a link for "Track Package". We mark "shipped", add tracking numbers, and send an e-mail with this information, for all Domestic Orders.
2. If the package shows it was delivered and you still don't have it, take the tracking number and contact your local Post Office. Occasionally they'll hold packages for customers when they arrive at the Post Office. 99% of the time, "lost" packages have just been waiting at the Post Office.
As always, if you have any questions about your purchase, please send us a convo. We are very willing to help in any way we can :)
Thank you!

Passion Reaction - ExtraBigDicks
Models: Trey Turner and Jason White
Studio: Extra Big Dicks
We have two recent finds that instantly became fan favorites. The first is a local stud that is from Ft. Lauderdale, FL. At 20, Trey Turner has an awful lot going for him. Trey is tall, charming and packs an impressive 8" dick. The second charmer is from Wichita, KS and recently turned 23. He goes by the name of Jason White. Jason has already shown us his cock all by itself as well as what he can do with it with sexy John Stone. They both figured out they were packin' more than the average bear when they were both in middle school. "Never underestimate the white boy" laughs Jason. They both love having big dicks and Jason and Trey love the initial reaction to it when they aren't expecting it. "It's hilarious," Jason says. "Some people get up and run from it and others say 'Let's GO!' —and those are the ones I love." They both agree the down size is all the hot ones that just flat out refuse to do anything with their beefy adages. Pfff. Well we could judge, but Jason does have a thick Midwestern fuck stick that measures in at a rock solid 9". They're both versatile but prefer to top and today Trey has decided to take one for the team. We're pretty sure he'll take all nine for any team that Jason's on. We'll be cheerin' him on ... from a safe distance.

Parents or a legal guardian traveling with children under 18 years must present the child's birth certificate and an identity card with photo (passport, for example) at the check-in. For international travels from Brazil, if just one of the parents is traveling with the child, she/he must present – in addition to the child's certificate of birth and identity card with photo – a letter authorizing the trip signed by the other parent with a notarial certification of signature. In case the parents or the legal guardian, as applicable, cannot or are unwilling to give this authorization, a judicial authorization is required. People who intend to travel to Brazil with children must consult with the Brazilian consulate before traveling for more information.
