DISCLAIMER: I do not own any member of FTSK or any other people mentioned herein. Purely fictional, people.
Warnings are: language, references to past drug useage, sadness. Review review review :) This is my next attempt at a chaptered story, so we'll see how this goes.
"Spare some change, ma'am?"
Those words leave Caleb's mouth with desperation, his arm shaking as he lifts it from the folds of the ratty blanket he's buried under, what little change he has rattling nosily in the white plastic cup he's clutching between his thin fingers. The woman passes him and keeps her eyes firmly glued to the sidewalk in front of her. She shakes her head minutely but doesn't say anything.
Caleb's seen this a hundred times today already: the people that pass by like he doesn't exist. Like they don't notice the needle marks on his arm, the sallow complexion to his face. The people nice enough to actually drop change into his cup do it from a distance, like just being in the proximity of him would give them diseases.
He's not addicted, not anymore. That lesson he's already learned.
He sighs when she's gone and retracts his arm again, pulling the blanket tighter around his body. A shiver runs up his spine as the wind picks up, blowing leaves and bits of debris along the street and bringing a deep chill with it.
You don't know how good you've got it until it's all gone, Caleb thinks remorsefully. He feels like a crappy Dickens' character—and he doesn't even like Dickens—and if he had room to complain he would. But he's seen the guys in the alleys, the women pushing shopping carts, muttering to themselves.
Caleb Turman is sane in a world of crazies.
Not in any way it is ironic. Not in any way is he fucked. Not in any way is he bitter.
He's just… numb.
Truth be told, Caleb is afraid to even see his appearance anymore. Back when he'd lived at home and had three square meals a day he still didn't look healthy, so being out on the streets? He's sure it's not doing wonders for his complexion, that's sure.
Like his life, his humor has gone down the shitter, it seems.
Caleb's stomach rumbles with hunger but he swallows it down, closing his eyes tightly. He's grown used to the feeling of being empty, grown used to what feels like his stomach caving in.
Right now he kind of wishes he had been anorexic when he became homeless, because at least then he'd like the way his bones jut out too, too far and his skin stretches tight across his frame. He's far from being a walking skeleton, but even that's not a lot of comfort.
An anorexic heroin addict, how commonplace.
He humorlessly laughs into the twilight. This is what he gets for listening to his stupid fucking friends—looking back, he's aware that they weren't really his friends and he should be ashamed to even think of that—and taking that first hit.
That first hit, that first prick of the needle into the vein at the crook of his arm is what fucked up his life. The heroin poured into his system, flowing through his bloodstream, and as he slumped against the wall of a shitty makeshift barn bathroom, he'd never felt more alive.
Caleb regrets that more than anything in his life, because here he is, some pale street kid with a mind full of regrets and a body full of scars. He's seen the mothers hurry their kids past him, heard their whispers as they leaned down.
"This is what drugs do to you."
"He's just a junkie. Don't pay him any mind, dear."
His most favorite: "Don't talk to him. I'm sure he just wants money for more drugs."
Drugs. That's all anyone thought when they saw him. It's what his parents thought, it's what his friends thought, hell, he'd even thought it. And, well… sometimes after-school specials are right.
Caleb's long-forgotten the high of shooting up in favor of starvation and desperation and the faux high of just eating. He tries to forget the day he got kicked out after his mother saw the needle marks on his arms. It hadn't gotten so severe that he'd had to resort to the Nikki Sixx level where he had to shoot up through his dick due to lack of useable veins, but it was enough for her.
He doesn't tell her about the ones on his thighs.
Live and regret, forgive and not forget.
She still doesn't know he's gay. Doesn't know that back when he was sixteen he'd had a boyfriend, Pete, who was twenty-five. It was statutory rape. He never told her that on the first night he'd gotten high, first time he ever felt that sweet kiss of the needle, he'd blown one of his supposed friends, Jack.
All the while he was seeing colors, Jack's voice was distorted and fuzzy as he said, "Fuck, yeah, like that. Come on, you stupid whore." With the music pounding in Caleb's ears, and Jack's cock down his throat, maybe whore was a fitting word.
The aversion that he hosts for that word, he's sure, comes from this night.
Caleb could make lists upon lists, fill all those fucking great libraries of old with the things his mother doesn't—and will never—know.
He sees the last of the sun's rays rapidly sinking behind the buildings of Dallas, the concrete jungle swallowing down the last remaining bits of warmth like a hungry monster. Above him the red of the sky tapers into dark velvet, stars pinpricking the heavens like individually set crystals.
This hardly brings any relief to Caleb. He knows it's winter, and even winter in Texas gets cold at night. He's fully prepared to slink off to an alley—at least there's shelter there, and hopefully a dumpster or two with some semi-decent food left in it—when he sees the figure of someone else start up the street, beanie pulled low over his white-blonde hair, hoodie zipped up over his long, skinny torso.
Caleb fumbles on fingers already numbing for his cup, and he brings it clinking out of the blanket. He opens his mouth to beg—his dignity isn't even half-there anymore—when the guy stops in front of him and fishes out his wallet.
"Hey, dude, I think you need a lot more than just change," the guy says. Caleb looks up, shocked at the friendly tone of his voice, and he's stunned by the wide, wide smile the guy's giving him.
"I—" Caleb starts. He stops, not sure of how to go on. He watches with wide eyes the long, nimble fingers of the boy in front of him dig around in his wallet for a few seconds, eyebrows creased in concentration, until he finally flourishes a ten dollar bill with a triumphant noise.
The guy folds it and drops it in Caleb's cup, then leans down and rests the calloused palm of his hand on Caleb's thin arm. "Buy yourself some decent food," he says softly, his bright blue eyes boring into Caleb's brown ones. "You're too pretty to be out here."
Caleb's awestruck and can only open his mouth, the cup in his hand feeling a thousand times heavier with the weight of the bill in it. He notices the guy's eyes linger down his arm he slides his hand away. Caleb knows he's seen the marks, but he doesn't say anything.
The guy steps back and flashes another bright smile at Caleb before he's disappearing down the darkening sidewalk. Caleb quickly reaches into his cup when the guy's out of sight, the sound of his footsteps long faded away, and digs around the meager nickels and dimes until his dirty fingers enclose around the still-crisp ten dollar note.
Caleb holds it up, still shocked at what just happened. Not only did he get handed a ticket to almost a week's worth of food, depending on where he went, but the way the guy had looked at him, all bright eyes and lingering touches, Caleb has a feeling that wasn't going to be the last he saw of the tall, willowy blonde.
The Burger King down the street is hardly a feast, but it's late and it's the only place that's open right now. And really, only a few of the employees give Caleb withering looks when he enters, the bell dinging brightly in his wake. He's never been more glad that the place is empty than he is now.
The money is clutched tightly in his hands, like he's afraid he's going to lose it at any moment. The girl at the register smiles briefly at him as he looks up at the menu before returning her attention back to the register. Caleb feels completely out of place here in his dirty hoodie and flannel shirt, torn-up Vans, ripped jeans and too-long red hair, not to mention his desperate need for a shave.
Caleb takes a deep breath and walks up to the counter, shakily orders a Whopper combo—small, he knows how dangerous it is to gorge on an empty stomach—and hands her the ten, flinching back out of instinct as she accidentally brushes over his fingers.
He doesn't like to think of himself as a jittery colt, but he so, so is.
"It's okay," she says, her voice light and sweet and as far from condescending as Caleb's ever heard directed at him. "I think it's good that someone gave you money for a proper meal." She hands him his change and pulls a cup out from under the counter, placing it on the tray.
Caleb grabs it and heads over to the soda fountain, chewing on his lip as he looks at the choices. He fills the cup with ice before deciding on Dr. Pepper, something he remembers he loved a long, long time ago (really, it's only been a year or so ago, but on the streets everything seems longer, stretched out to impossible infinity).
When they call his number and he gets his tray, he's absolutely sure for a second or two that's he's died and gone to heaven, because there's no way this is happening.
After he's taken a few bites of his food an employee pulls up a chair next to him with a loud, obnoxious screech. Caleb instinctively shies away a few inches, swallows, says thickly, "What?" and feels increasingly territorial.
This wouldn't be his first time getting made fun of for being skinny, for having ripped clothes and unwashed hair. He's certainly been given enough money before to go get food, and he knows how painful the stares and whispers of other diners can be.
The guy—Jonathan, his nametag reads—smiles in a friendly way. "You're usually up the street, aren't you?" On his left wrist is a neon green watch. Caleb focuses on it instead of meeting Jonathan's face, afraid that behind the mask of friendly words and cheerful smiles there'll be a nugget of disgust.
Caleb nods but doesn't say anything, idly pushing the fries around his tray, afraid to eat when he's being watched at such close proximity, afraid he'll give away just how desperate and starving he actually is. Jonathan keeps speaking. "My friend Kyle says he saw you today and gave you some money."
Immediately Caleb's spine straightens and he turns to face Jonathan. "Tall and blonde, right?"
Jonathan nods and pushes the dark bangs off his forehead. "That's the dude. He told me he's seen you there before and he couldn't stand to not give you money anymore. He also said to expect you tonight."
Caleb blushes. Jonathan notices and chuckles, says, "I don't blame you for coming down tonight, seriously. I don't go down your street when I go to work; otherwise I would've given you some money before."
Caleb nods and takes a sip of his drink. Jonathan is nice, and genuinely so, but Caleb kind of wants him to just go away so that he can eat in peace and get the hell out of here. But Jonathan stays and asks Caleb questions until the manager yells from the desk, "Cook, I'm not paying you to chat with the customers all night! Get up here and take over drive-thru so that Bello can take his actual break."
"Oh, gotta bounce," Jonathan says as he jumps up. He holds out his hand and Caleb eyes it warily before taking it. "Nice talking to you…" Jonathan stops, both of them realizing at the same time Caleb hasn't said his name.
"It's Caleb," he replies and shakes Jonathan's hand a final time before the dark-haired boy jogs up to the counter, apologizing to his boss before disappearing back into the kitchen, slipping the headset handed to him by a long-haired boy on over his work-officiated visor.
Caleb laughs to himself as he finishes his food.
After the warmth of the restaurant Caleb hates the alley more than he normally does. He's long since lost the huge cardboard box that had been left here—how cliché—and relies on newspapers and his blanket to keep him from freezing or catching pneumonia or something just as dreadful.
Some life of luxury he's living.
For once, though, Caleb's going to bed with a full stomach. The sated feeling reminds him if when he'd shoot up, how euphoric and happy he felt. He closes his eyes, draws the blanket closer to himself, and sighs happily.

I suppose for a guy in his early forties, Wheezer wasn't exactly homely. There weren't many beauty marks or creases in the skin on his face. He had a magnetic personality, oddly enough, and his eyes were young and carefree despite the slight jaundiced discoloration to his corneas. I could see the vague definitions of a six-pack just below the surface of his tight black T-shirt that made me think he was kind of sexy at first glance. But his abhorrent smoker's cough was enough to make me wish that I had an oxygen tank at his disposal. It was also enough for me to not have to ask about the origin of his name. He was apparently the guy that Johnny was getting our Tina from. I had only known Tina for a few weeks before now which was probably why I had never met him before. Hell, I had only known Johnny for a few weeks before now, and already he was threatening to shoot me. And now he was asking me to do this.
The story, or so I was told, was that Wheezer had fronted Johnny the Tina that we had just smoked and Johnny agreed that he would pay him for it in the morning. However, as I had witnessed the previous night, Johnny's plan to rob the bodega had been halted after his little freak-out with Comb-over. Therefore, payment was due, and he had nothing to show for it. Nothing… except for me of course. Thus, here we were with me in my superhero underwear and two horny bastards ripping it off with their carnivorous eyeballs.

BeschreibungDrawing on insights and evidence from the National Writing Project, this book explores the ways in which we can best support the development of children's writing in the early years. But before looking at effective ways to develop the writing curriculum, it explores some fundamental questions about learning and literacy.
It reflects, for example, on the varying uses and values of literacy in different communities and raises questions about the model of literacy presented in schools. It also discusses how children learn to write and demonstrates the wealth of knowledge about literacy that children bring to the classroom.

Competetive Hardship #4 - MoonwalkerMature
The school thing is basically true. In the early 1950's there were many rural schools in Canada that still had no electricity, indoor plumbing, or central heating.
You think you had it hard? Nonsense! You went to a school with more than one room, and more than one teacher, and central heating, and indoor plumbing. The entire eight years of my elementary schooling was spent without any of that. You really had it good as far as educational buildings are concerned.
I went to a school with one room, and eight grades, all trying to learn something at once. You should try learning the names of the Great Lakes in grade four, when the one grade one kid is busily screaming out the ABC song. Talk about your exercise in futility. It was a wonder I didn't grow up as a moron, although some of the kids were born that way.
As I said, there was no indoor plumbing. There was no drinking water. It had to be carried in from a pump in the yard by the pailful. It was a good thing that penicillin had already been invented by then. The germs in that pail were as big as tadpoles - which often floated in that drinking water, as well. The kids who did that were the same morons who threw frozen poop at little kids. I was forced to go to school with sociopaths.
The outhouse was literally that - an outhouse. It was a wooden clapboard building with two 'bathrooms' (for the lack of a better word), in it. There was one on each end of the building, one for the boys, and one for the girls. They were separated by a thin board wall in the centre that was full of peepholes made with penknives. Some of the boys were not only morons, but budding perverts as well!
The toilets consisted of four poop holes on a raised platform that was about three feet high. If you were a little kid that was barely three feet high to begin with, going to the bathroom involved climbing. Try doing that in a Canadian January with no heat. We were tough kids, we had to be.
You probably had a physical education program. We didn't have that, but we had baseball, with no equipment. The bases were big jagged rocks that caused second degree trauma on knees if you tried to slide into them. The bats were thin chopped tree limbs from the woods behind the school. The baseballs were round stones from the road, which wasn't paved. If you've never faced a kid with a thin branch in your hands, while she got ready to throw an apple sized rock at you, you don't know the meaning of the word, fear. It's a wonder nobody ever got an eye put out.
Yup, I figure you really had it good.

16 Tolland Green (1776)Monday, July 4th, 2016 Posted in Colonial, Houses, Tolland | No Comments »
For the Fourth of July, here is a saltbox house at 16 Tolland Green in Tolland that was built in 1776. One known resident of the house was a man named Winters. According to Around and About the Tolland Green (2002) by Christine Gray, he was a proprietor of the County House, the hotel attached to the Tolland County Jail, whose wife refused to live at the jail.
Ambrose Benton House (1798)Saturday, May 21st, 2016 Posted in Colonial, Guilford, Houses | No Comments »
The house at 94 State Street in Guilford was once the single-story residence of Ambrose Benton (1769-1847). He married Mary Evarts in 1790. The original first floor dates to 1798 and the house's second story was added in 1909.
Sylvanus Jones House (1734)Wednesday, May 4th, 2016 Posted in Colonial, Houses, Norwich | No Comments »
The saltbox colonial house at 10 Elm Avenue in the Norwichtown area of Norwich was built in 1734 by Sylvanus Jones. As related in Old Houses of the Antient Town of Norwich (1895), by Mary E. Perkins:
It is possible that the "Great Room" or kitchen, and "the Lentoo" of the old Fitch or Knight house were added in 1734 to the house, then erected by Sylvanus Jones, on land purchased of Andre Richard, but of this we have no positive proof.
Sylvanus Jones (b. 1707), was the son of Caleb Jones, one of the first settlers of Hebron, Ct., and his wife Rachel, daughter of John Clark of Farmington, Ct. He married in 1730 Kesiah, daughter of Isaac and Elizabeth (Curtis) Cleveland, and died in 1791. He had eight children, and at his death, his son, Ebenezer, becomes the owner of the house and land.
Ebenezer Jones (b. 1744), married in 1765, Elizabeth Rogers, and had three daughters, one of whom, Lucy (b. 1766), marries Henry J. Cooledge, and another, Rachel (b. 1771), becomes in 1793 the wife of Asa Lathrop, Jun. Louisa, daughter of Lucy (Jones) Cooledge, marries in 1832 Charles Avery of New London, and her daughter, Mrs. Harriet Robinson, now owns and occupies the house.
We do not know the occupation of Sylvanus, but Ebenezer was a cooper, and Mr. Miner pictures him "with his ads and double driver, holding it in the middle, and playing it rapidly on the empty barrel, as he drives the hoop, sounding a reveille to the whole neighborhood regular as the strains of Memnon." His shop stood south of the house and a little back from the street.
Elijah Booth House (1771)Thursday, December 17th, 2015 Posted in Colonial, Houses, Southbury | No Comments »
The house at 968 Main Street North was constructed sometime before 1771 (perhaps as early as 1716?), when the property was acquired by Elijah Booth from Edward Hinman. Booth was a cabinetmaker and in 1806 his dwelling house, joiners shop and barn were acquired by Eli Hall. The house remained in the Hall family until it was sold by Hall's daughter, Lydia Ann Hall, who married Sherman B. Warner, sold it in 1892. From 1915 to 1918 the house was one of five, including the Peter Parley House, that were were owned as a seasonal estate by Robert and Antonia Treupel of Mamaroneck, NY. They sold their houses to the Lutheran Inner-Mission Society of Connecticut, which sold the Booth House to Delia Hunihan in 1933. She lived there with her husband John until 1959. Restoration of the house was begun by its next owner, Mark Messier, and was continued by Carl and Elizabeth Kamphausen, who bought it in 1962.
John D. Perkins House (1750)Saturday, September 12th, 2015 Posted in Colonial, Houses, Norwich | 1 Comment »

Bushnell Farm (1678)Thursday, September 10th, 2015 Posted in Colonial, Houses, Old Saybrook | No Comments »
One of the five oldest houses in Connecticut is the Bushnell Farm house at 1445 Boston Post Road in Old Saybrook. It began as a two room, one story, thatch roofed post and beam house built by the Elder Joshua Bushnell. It is listed in the National Register of Historic Places as the Elisha Bushnell House and J. Frederick Kelly, in his classic Early Domestic Architecture of Connecticut (1924), calls it the Older Bushnell House. The house was expanded over the two centuries that the Bushnell family owned it. The property has a number of outbuildings, including an early eighteenth-century barn, a loom house (the Bushnells were both farmers and weavers) and a building referred to as the slave house. Maintained as a private residence in an excellent state of preservation, the property is often opened to schools, historical societies and the Connecticut River Museum Summer Camp.
Jacob Wilson Tavern (1735)Wednesday, September 2nd, 2015 Posted in Colonial, Coventry, Houses, Taverns & Inns | No Comments »

Not many people realize that some of the allergies that they suffer are caused by natural green grass because they deny the fact that their body can't live side by side with natural environment. It is not the natural green grass, but it is the fertilizer or the manure for the natural green grass and other gardener products to maintain the beauty and the contour of the natural grass that make people suffer allergy. We all know that dealing with allergies is never easy because there are some medications that you have to take routine and regularly and the worst part of having allergies is that you have to avoid certain areas or places that could trigger the allergies. It would be handful to avoid places that have natural green grass because it could trigger the allergies and it takes more than an hour for your allergies to cool down. Speaking about allergies which caused by the natural green grass, different people have different allergies although the most common allergies are runny eyes, burning sensation on the eyes, itchiness, red rashes on the skin, difficult breathing, dizziness, sickness, and many others. It is recommended not to take or consume the over the counter allergy medications without doctor or physician's prescription because you do not know the proper dosage that you have to take and it could make your allergies worsened.

All about Heating System
What do you know about your current heating system? How long does the heating system installed in your home or your property? If you unable to answer those questions, it does not mean that you are stupid or something, it is normal if you do not have any clue or knowledge about the heating system in your house because as long as the heating system works just fine, you do not think that there is a problem with it. Well, it is about time for you to get to know your heating system because it is important to have a little bit knowledge about your heating system so you do not become potential victim for HVAC service companies. You probably never realized that not having enough knowledge about heating system and air conditioning service at your home or property can make you potential victim for HVAC service company and they can easily charge you with expensive HVAC service fee for minor HVAC problems. So, what knowledge or at least basic information about heating system that you should know about? Well, as part of the knowledge or basic information about heating system that you should know about is the type of heating system that you have because heating system is available in three different types: the electric heating system, the gas heating system, and the wood-burner heating system.
Based on those three types of heating system, the wood-burner heating system is considered to be out-dated and no longer popular although some properties which have classic design in it could have the wood-burner heating system. Now, the electricity and gas heating system has different system because they generate power from different sources and each of the heating systems has its own upside and downside. It is for the best to have both heating systems and heating system that can support two types of powers so when the electricity is down or off, you can still enjoy the running hot water because the heating system is using the gas to heat the water and warm the house.

THIERRY HENRY'S dream Premier League return turned into a bitter nightmare
last night.
The Gunners legend was involved in a confrontation with his own fans after a
humiliating defeat at Swansea.
Henry, 34, had persuaded shellshocked team-mates to acknowledge the thousands
of travelling fans who had just witnessed their SIXTH away defeat of
the season.
But a small group of supporters slammed the players — prompting an angry
response from striker Henry, who only rejoined the club on loan from America
last week.
The Frenchman appeared to have a heated exchange with one fan, making gestures
before storming off the pitch.
A Gunners source said: "Thierry had encouraged his team-mates to go and
acknowledge the fans and show their appreciation for the people who made the
long journey to Swansea.
"Unfortunately one or two of them had a few things to say and expressed their
"One in particular was shouting 'Where is the heart and the character and the
"Thierry shouted back 'Get behind the team and support the players and don't
be negative.'"
Henry came on as a sub after 63 minutes but, unlike his heroics in the FA Cup
against Leeds last Monday, he could not help Arsenal avoid defeat.
Boss Arsene Wenger admitted he had been tempted to start Henry.
He said: "You are always tempted to start him. When he comes on the pitch he
gives us a lift. He was dangerous again."

So now the American Athletic Conference takes its pageant to Mohegan Sun, another significant sporting event here in our corner of the world. The American, as it fancies itself, will bookend its women's basketball season in Neon Uncasville, with Media Day here Monday and the championship tournament here in March.
The dramatis personae said all the right things about the new digs Monday for the cameras and recorders. Great arena, perfect size, first-class treatment. Old friend Jamelle Elliott, now the coach at Cincinnati, called the property "a city in itself."
Hardly unexpected. New guests aren't going to track mud in the hallways and belch at the table. Still, though, there was a sense of earnestness that comes from standing inside a place with some cachet, thinking what it might look like for the television cameras and sound like in full throat a few months from now.
Which invites the following question:
Has Hartford, specifically the XL Center, ever been more irrelevant?
That's not posed with a hint of glee. We should root for our capital city. But think about sports and entertainment in our state at the moment:
Mohegan Sun gets the preponderance of concerts and shows. It is home to the Connecticut Sun and the state high school basketball championships, both of which draw well. AAC Commissioner Mike Aresco has hinted that it could become the home of the women's tournament.
Webster Bank Arena in Bridgeport just landed a pair of UConn basketball games for this season, on top of normal duties with minor league hockey and Fairfield basketball. It will make a run at the state high school hockey finals (and should get it, by the way). It is smartly managed, done beautifully as host of NCAA women's basketball and hockey regionals and is perfectly sized with well-positioned luxury boxes.
Then there's the XL Center. Cavernous and outdated. Just lost its bid for the AAC Tournaments of both genders. It was charging UConn exorbitant rent, $50,000 for each home basketball game last year, per several school sources. It is cluttered with the cosmically irrelevant Hartford Wolf Pack for 40 nights per year and the occasional concert. (At least it landed a college hockey tournament Monday).
But is there one UConn student that prefers a game at the XL to Gampel Pavilion?
As one coach from the AAC said Monday, "it's a dump."
Nobody really likes going there. Sad. Because it's more convenient for most state residents to drive to Hartford than negotiate the traffic to Bridgeport or the boredom coming to them, thar hills of Uncasville.
Somebody needs to fix this. A vibrant, downtown Hartford is good for everybody. The building needs a facelift, if not a makeover. That's not exactly news. But is there anybody out there with some juice, or at least a bank account, that can assume command of the project sooner, not later?
No one can answer the question definitively about when or if the XL Center gets fixed.
Will it maintain the same capacity?
Will they move luxury boxes from the roof to the concourse?
Is expanding the concourse possible?
Would the arena stay in its location or move somewhere else?
Some conversations last spring with Those Who Know suggested that a new building might surface in a different part of the city, perhaps on land near the Sisson Ave, exit. A smaller capacity, perhaps 11,000 or so, but with all the amenities. Not a bad seat in the house, sort of like Mohegan and Bridgeport, but with access to luxury boxes in the same time zone as the arena floor.
That could run afoul of the Bring-Back-The-NHL folks, although their bouts with lucidity appear sporadic at best.
The XL Center appears to have one fan: Gov. Malloy. He fancies himself as instrumental in influencing UConn's impending move to Hockey East and expects that in return, conference home games are to be played downtown to pump more money into the region.
UConn students say they won't travel downtown for hockey with much frequency, inviting the question of whether they should build a new hockey facility on campus or at least expand the Freitas Ice Arena. One school source said that a new hockey arena on campus depends on whether Malloy is reelected.
Lots of ifs and maybes here. But this is what we know: Mohegan and Bridgeport are winning the race. Monday was merely another example.
This is the opinion of Day sports columnist Mike DiMauro.

Can I say that I love Sam? And by Sam, I mean Taye Diggs. Here's to him. This is just before the last season finale… before they reconciled anyway.
Reviews are appreciated but only if they're nice, or at least constructive, please. I get enough critique at work. This is fun time.
Disc: I own everything. Except Private Practice.
Addison stumbled into the kitchen and almost ran into Sam.
"Oh, sorry. I didn't see you there." She hesitated before passing by him to reach for some juice out of the fridge.
"It's fine." He said clearing his throat. His voice was a little hoarse and when he says 'fine' it sounds like "fide." Addison eyed him carefully.
"Are you okay, Sam? You sound a little congested there."
He shook his head but didn't speak.
She watched him a moment longer. There is akward tension between them and he won't make eye contact. Feeling slighted, she shrugged and left.
Sam immediately pitches forward into a tight sneeze which he had desperately tried to suppress. A slight sound escaped and he looked up worried. Addison didn't seem to hear though, having departed. Sam breathed a sigh of relief and pulled a napkin from the stack to blow his nose.
"That doesn't sound good," commented Violet, breezing in behind him.
"It's nothing," he croaked.
"'Duthig' huh?" Violet stole a swig of coffee before replacing the mug on the table and pressing her hand to Sam's head. She then lowered her long fingers to either sides of his neck and delicately feels his lymph nodes.
"Look who's a doctor all of a sudden," he grumbled petulantly.
"Something about a sniffling man brings back all the memories of my residency," she said, studying his eyes. "Now open up."
She tilted his chin so that the light above the sink could illuminate the inside of his mouth and surveyed a moment longer before letting go.
She turned to wash her hands and, after a moment of silence he is forced to ask.
Drying her hands on a paper towel she looked back at him. "Low grade fever, minimal lymph node swelling, throat seems fine. I would say that you, my friend, have caught yourself a cold."
At her final words, Sam raised a hand to hush her. Violet snuck a glance over her shoulder to see Addison reading a file in the hall outside the kitchen.
Sam rubbed at his nose and leans in confidentially. "The, uh, the patient has been complaining of a sore throat for a few days. No chance of strep?"
"Not from what I've seen," Violet replied slowly, starting to catch on. "I think "the patient" requires nothing but fluids and rest for a few days."
"Good," Sam nodded assertively and watched Addison disappear from view. "Good."
His gaze snapped back as Violet waved a hand in front of his face.
"Why don't you want Addison to know you're sick?"
Sam wrinkled his brow. "What are you talking about?"
Violet dropped a hand to her hip. "I am a therapist you know. Not that this tension," she indicated his balled up fists, "requires a degree in psychiatry." She paused. "Do you need to spend some time on my couch?"
Seeming to begin another protest of innocence, Sam's words were interrupted by a sharp sneeze followed by a desperate coughing fit.
Violet melted. She reached behind her for a small box of tissues. "You need to be on someone's couch, that's for sure," she said as she handed it over.
"I'll be fine," he insisted, blowing his nose.
"Yes, you will be. Because you're going home." As he started to protest again she continued. "You're sick, you're feverish, and if you don't take your butt home and get into some sweats right now I'm going to march into Addison's office this instant and fill her in."
Sam scowled. In one angry motion he snatched the box again, tucked it under an arm and marched from the kitchen leaving Violet behind to sigh and shake her head.

Swift script to create a Cocoa window
Create a Cocoa window with a functioning button from a command line Swift script.
You probably know that you can run a swift program from the command line like a script.
Can you create an OSX (Cocoa) Window from that "script"?Yes. Yes you can.
You can go ahead and create an NSWindow and pop it up. Other "tutorials" on the net do this. But it's really not going to run like a program.
A better way is to create a class that implements the NSApplicationDelegate protocol. Xcode project templates always creates these for you, so you've seen and used them. So create your own.
One strategy is to have your appdelegate create and configure an NSWindow . So that's what this example will show. I'm using the new autolayout constraint syntax, so I've shown you how to use the "available" feature to see if your environment can grok them. If not, just use one of the old constraint syntaxes.
To be able to close the app via the red window icon, you need a class that conforms to the NSWindowDelegate protocol. You can observe a window closing notification instead, but setting the window delegate is a bit simpler.
Once you have your appdelegate and its window configured, create an NSApplication , set its delegate to your appdelegate, and run the application.
import Cocoa // due to the new constraint syntax @available(OSX 10.11, *) class AppDelegate: NSObject, NSApplicationDelegate { let window = NSWindow() let windowDelegate = WindowDelegate() func applicationDidFinishLaunching(aNotification: NSNotification) { window.setContentSize(NSSize(width:600, height:200)) window.styleMask = NSTitledWindowMask | NSClosableWindowMask | NSMiniaturizableWindowMask | NSResizableWindowMask window.level = 1 window.delegate = windowDelegate window.opaque = false window.title = "Window with a button" let contentView = window.contentView! let button = NSButton(frame: NSRect(x:0, y:0, width:0, height:0)) button.bezelStyle = .ThickSquareBezelStyle button.title = "Click Me" button.action = #selector(AppDelegate.myAction(_:)) contentView.addSubview(button) // autolayout button.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false var c = button.centerYAnchor.constraintEqualToAnchor(contentView.centerYAnchor) c.active = true c.identifier = "to center y" c = button.centerXAnchor.constraintEqualToAnchor(contentView.centerXAnchor) c.active = true c.identifier = "to center x" c = button.widthAnchor.constraintEqualToConstant(200) c.active = true c.identifier = "width" c = button.heightAnchor.constraintEqualToConstant(50) c.active = true c.identifier = "height" window.center() window.makeKeyAndOrderFront(window) } func myAction(sender: AnyObject) { print("my action") } } class WindowDelegate: NSObject, NSWindowDelegate { func windowWillClose(notification: NSNotification) { NSApplication.sharedApplication().terminate(0) } } if #available(OSX 10.11, *) { let app = NSApplication.sharedApplication() let appDelegate = AppDelegate() app.delegate = appDelegate app.run() }
Create a class that implements NSApplicationDelegate . Have that class create and configure an NSWindow .
Then create an NSApplication , set its delegate to your class, and run.

@williamlawLocale: SF Bay Area
I drove last weekend (June 21-23) to Leavitt Lake off CA 108 and hiked to Cinko Lk and back. 2 nights, 20 or so miles and a fair bit of uphill (for me).
"Full" trip report (and more pictures)
1. Leavitt Lake Road is pretty rough. I would strongly discourage anybody trying it in a car or if you don't want your vehicle scratched. There was one particularly difficult bit which required hugging a tree on one side and making sure one's opposite wheel hit a rock in the middle, else risking sliding into 18" holes on either side. I fretted about the return trip the whole time I was out.
2. Snow is almost gone (on the trail). The road up and over Big Sam looked to still be covered in places, but is likely melted in the recent heat wave.
3. Fair number of PCT thru-hikers northbound, which suggests the snow coverage isn't proving too much of an obstacle going through the High Sierra further south.
4. Mosquitos started around 9200' down to the meadow (worse the lower one got). Moderate in places; worse in the morning/evening, less so midday.

@mediaurasLocale: Terra
Excellent. I was going to go out of Leavitt Lake the weekend before but I was told by a ranger the road was still closed at that point. We ended up going out of Twin Lakes (up Little Slide Canyon over Mule Pass and on to Peeler Lake). Had a blast, great time of year to be in Hoover.

I'm very surprised to see all that snow. Thank you for the great pics.

It also emerged that the boy's family had launched two other abuse-related lawsuits in the past, winning a £90,000 settlement in one case.
The new developments came amid signs that the health of the 12-year-old cancer survivor at the centre of the allegations had deteriorated. San Francisco Assistant District Attorney Kimberly Guilfoyle Newsom said she had heard a tape in which the boy, his mother and brother say Jackson "never acted inappropriately".
She said the 20-minute tape was played to her by a private investigator working for Jackson, shortly after the Martin Bashir documentary was broadcast earlier this year. The programme caused a storm as Jackson admitted letting boys sleep in his bedroom.
Ms Newsom told CNN that the accuser and his mother had also signed an affidavit earlier this year, stating that Jackson never abused him. The development could undermine the case against the 45-year-old star unless prosecution lawyers can prove that abuse happened after the tape and affidavit were produced.
Meanwhile, it emerged that the family of the accuser had accepted a settlement payout of nearly £90,000 two years ago after claiming they were beaten by security guards at a department store.
They said the boy, his brother and mother were assaulted after the boy left a shop with clothes he had not paid for. The mother also alleged in the lawsuit that she was sexually assaulted by one of the guards.
Following that incident was a bitter divorce between the boy's father and mother in which she claimed spousal abuse and child cruelty. During the proceedings the father's lawyer, Russell Halpern, said the mother had lied about the abuse and had a "Svengali-like" ability to make her children repeat her lies.
A lawyer who represented the boy's mother in the divorce said the family spoke positively of Jackson as recently as April or May. The new developments came a day after Jackson's lawyer Mark Geragos came out fighting, threatening to come down like a "tonne of bricks" on anyone who tried to damage his client's reputation.
"If anybody doesn't think... that the true motivation of these charges and these allegations is anything but money, and the seeking of money, then they're living in their own Neverland," Mr Geragos said.
He also said that he had won an injunction against an airline company which allegedly filmed Jackson and Mr Geragos on a private jet as the pop star flew from Las Vegas to California last week to turn himself in to police.
Mr Geragos claimed in court that XtraJet had offered the footage to media companies, seeking the highest a bidder. XtraJet had no comment. Jackson has described the allegations against him as a "big lie". But the District Attorney of Santa Barbara, in California, Tom Sneddon, who announced the arrest warrant for Jackson last week, defended the prosecution.
"We didn't go looking for this case. It came to us," he told CNN. "I would not have filed the charges had we not had a victim we felt was co-operative and supportive."
It has been suggested that he had a vendetta against the star because he failed to bring criminal charges against him 10 years ago, when another boy made similar allegations.
But Mr Sneddon did confess that he behaved inappropriately at a news conference last week, when he joked with reporters about the case. "I think I should have known better," he said.
The scandal appeared to be hitting Jackson's record sales in the US. His new album, Number Ones, was forecast to enter the US chart at number 13 at the weekend.
Meanwhile, there were new concerns for the health of the boy who has accused Jackson of abuse. Jamie Masada, a comedy club owner who introduced the boy to Jackson, told the New York Post newspaper: "He has one kidney, and it's failing on him. "I saw him last week and half of his face was swollen up. He's able to communicate, but he doesn't even sleep in the bed.
"He sleeps on a floor in a small apartment in a not-so-good part of town."
Jackson's Neverland Ranch in California was searched by around 60 police officers on Tuesday last week. Detectives from the Santa Barbara County Sheriff's Department also searched the home of Jackson's videographer and the Beverly Hills office of a private detective hired by Jackson.
Two days after the search at Neverland, Jackson was charged in Santa Barbara with sexual abuse and freed on £1.87 million bail. He is scheduled in court on January 9.

So far, Juwan says all the schools want him as a running back. Many coaches will stop by his school to see him.
"[Duke's] Coach Middleton has come a couple times. [Georgia Tech] Coach Johnson came once by himself then another time with all the other coaches from Tech. I talked with all the coaches that have come to visit. There's been a lot of them."
Are there any schools that stand out to Juwan?
"I grew up a big Texas fan. For right now though, I'm just trying to get some offers so then I can get into more details."
Thompson couldn't make a Junior Day at Georgia Tech and didn't make it to Duke's either. However, he should be going to Alabama this weekend and then to UCF's the next. What will he be looking for when it comes to choosing a school?
"I'm big on academics, just like my school. I also want the school to have a great athletic program."
The in-state schools seem to have what Juwan is looking for. He says he has been to games of both UGA and Georgia Tech and has talked to their coaches plenty of times. Does he have any interest in those schools?
"Oh yeah, I'm pretty interested. I'm just waiting for the papers to come in the mail."
What does he think of the coaches from the in-state schools?
UGA's Coach Richt - "He's pretty cool. He's a real straight-forward guy."
Tech's Coach Johnson - "He's very cool. He's very funny but very serious sometimes."
Thompson doesn't sound like he'll make an early commitment.
"Not at all, I'm going to take all the time I can to make the right decision."

Credit unions throughout the League of Southeastern Credit Union's (LSCU) footprint are enthusiastically sounding the charge that credit unions truly are a "better name for banking."
This summer LSCU is asking its member credit unions to join in a six-week campaign to continue the credit union momentum launched last fall.
Mike Bridges ,VP, Communications and Marketing at LSCU says that the tagline 'Credit Unions: we're giving banking a better name,' looks to build on the awareness created by the 2011 campaign. In a recent press release Bridges notes that pre and post-campaign research indicated there was an 8% rise in awareness of credit unions in Florida and a 6% rise in awareness in Alabama following the September, 2011 run of the campaign.
LSCU's comprehensive approach involves a $1.2 million media buy that includes TV, radio, web, social media, and public relations efforts. Currently more than 110 credit unions are participating in the initiative, along with financial contributions from shared branching networks in Alabama and Florida.
"We've gotten a tremendous amount of positive feedback from credit unions about the campaign," said LSCU President/CEO Patrick La Pine. "The ads resonate with consumers. They show that credit unions are modern and that they offer better rates and lower fees. Last year 65,000 consumers visited the campaign website in six weeks. Consumers are becoming more aware of why credit unions are a better place to do their banking."
The ad campaign directs consumers to the site www.betternameforbanking.com, which illustrates the credit union difference by showing how much money a potential member will save on a mortgage or auto loan. An additional feature is a real-time social media feed that shows what people are saying about credit unions.
Credit Unions Taking The Approach to the Next Level
Community Credit Union ($250 million, Gadsden, AL) is taking the "Better Name for Banking" initiative up a notch by staging a strong credit union presence in local shopping malls.
Tracy Downs, Director of Marketing and Communications has charged her Gen Y employees to spend next weekend trolling local malls, handing out $2 bills to anyone who can answer the question, "Do you know the difference between a credit union and a bank?"
"The campaign helps us to remember the big picture," she says. "We are not about ourselves but about the member. Through this campaign we can continue to raise awareness not only about our credit union, but promote the movement in general."
Downs says that the campaign's timing is ideal. "When I was at a conference in Wisconsin last week, I was watching a discussion on the news about the economy. The conversation moved to talking about banks and credit unions, which I found to be astonishing. Before Bank Transfer Day, the mainstream news media would have never brought up the name 'credit union.' We're stepping more up to the table and having a real impact on people's lives."
She says that when her Gen Y team is at one of the three local malls she knows that the push will help promote and reinforce Community Credit Union but also the movement in the general. "It lets people know that we are like a bank but much better."
"During next week's mall blitz we'll have promotional materials available on a nearby table and will be ready to talk about credit unions and Community Credit Union."
"We hope this incentivizes consumers to learn more about how credit unions are different, and we think better, than traditional banking," adds Patti Barrow, VP/Marketing, Suncoast Schools Federal Credit Union ($5.1 billion, Tampa FL). "Our goal is to increase awareness of credit union benefits and the difference between credit unions and banks."
Gen X Continues to Elude Credit Unions
According to Bridges, Generation X remains the target for the campaign, which research shows is the largest demographic in the southeast that does not currently belong to a credit union.
Barrow agrees, but contends that Suncoast Schools has had success capturing this age demographic. "Recent studies show that Gen X is often overlooked, but not at Suncoast Schools Federal Credit Union," she says. "We're currently in the middle of a mortgage campaign to attract our Gen X audience by utilizing social media, web, broadcast, cable TV and outdoor billboards. We've paired our mortgage campaign with the LSCU image campaign to generate more noise surrounding credit unions."
"Even though our ads and mall efforts target any consumer, we are using our Gen Y employees to continue to try to attract that younger demographic as well," Downs says. "We are having fun with this campaign, even running a spot during a local rodeo--finding different ways to draw attention to the movement and advantages of credit union membership."
Communicating the advantages of membership to Generation X may be more important than ever. A recent Philadelphia Inquirer article notes that of all consumer groups, the median American family wealth levels in 2010 had dropped to those in 1992, with Gen X'ers hit hardest.
Federal Reserve data found that Americans born between 1964 and 1980 were doing worse than previous generations, plus Americans in this age range experienced a 55.7% decline in net worth--the biggest drop for any age range.
According to a Pew Research Center study from last year, Gen X families are 70% poorer than those who were their same age back in 1984--staggering statistics as this generation tries to raise a family and build wealth for retirement.
With the myriad of financial products, educational assistance and lower fees, joining a credit union for a Gen X'er is more important than ever. LSCU is hoping that its latest image campaign will hopefully bring more Gen X'ers to a credit union, along with the countless others who have been slaves to poor service and high fees at large, multi national banks.
The charge has once again sounded--find a credit union and expand your relationship today.By Gina Ragusa

Beyonce's MTV Video Music Awards Hair & Makeup: We Love Her Pretty Waves
It doesn't get much hotter than this! Beyonce totally blew us away with her amazing, full-length Nicolas Jebran gown at the VMAs on Aug. 24!
The gorgeous superstar wisely let her dress do all the talking, pairing it with a simple but stunning beauty look. Bey, who also performed at the show, rocked romantic amber-hued waves that cascaded all the way down to her lower back.
Her pretty, messy curls perfectly framed her flawless features, which were highlighted by the most minimal of makeup looks.
We loved the subtle gold eye shadow that lined her lower lids, as well as her pearly pink lip gloss — perfection!
Beyonce Stuns In Full-Length Gown Before VMA Performance
Beyonce's beauty look may have been understated but the beaded lace black gown she wore to the VMAs was anything but! Queen Bey showed off her famous curves in an elegant, floor-length number by Lebanese designer Nicolas Jebran from his FW 14/15 collection.
She paired the dramatic look with beaded hoop earrings and open-toed heels.

I got back to the 1 year of Stitches last week after a month long break.
I decided to add a strawberry to the 12 inch circle.
this tutorial on YouTube and the results are terrific I think.
The second stitch I learnt was Hungarian Braided Chain Stitch. I used it to embroider the stem of the strawberry.
It's season time here in the Nilgiris. Lovely cool weather with the occasional thunderstorms and the rest of the country is reeling under a heatwave. Our B n B has seen a steady stream of guests since April. People trying to escape the heat for a couple of days. I've been busy with laundry and cooking.
Ben the St.Bernard we adopted, two months back has settled in and made friends with Blackie our indie. He still has to make friends with Pepper the cat.
Hope you have a good weekend.

The Sun Temple at Konarak
The person who conceptualised and directed the creation of this masterpiece must have been a master at his craft.One assumes it was a man but I wonder if were a woman.
In any case the person's knowledge of material, architecture, Hindu iconography and sculpture must have been unparalled.

My trip to Odisha finds a place in 1 Year of Stitches.
20th March.2017. I was looking to add a motif which would mark my visit to Odisha. I picked Jaganath. He's special to Odisha. He's the only Indian god who is worshipped along with his older brother and sister. Most Gods and Godesses have a consort but not Jaganath
The day was spent in airports. Flying from Bhubaneshwar to Chennai with a four hour wait in Hyderabad to catch a connecting flight. Time well spent working on the Jaganath motif.
31st March.2017.
The Jagannath motif is complete.I embroidered the pupils of his eyes and the motif was complete.
It was so hot in Chennai my brain seized functioning and I could only think of adding some cast on Stitch leaves.

Progress on 1 Year of Stitches in the month of March
A teaching assignment in Odisha took me away from the Blue Mountains for a good three weeks.
I carried the 1 Year of Stitches with me.
I seem to have come to a creative standstill. Only adding little Algerian eye flowers and Lazy Daisy leaves.
Didn't get a chance to update my blog all that time I was away.
How did March treat you? The teaching assignment went well and I spent a week with family, celebrating my mother's 80th birthday with a thanksgiving prayer and lunch.

A Gift of Books
Books are such wonderful gifts and I was the recipient of not one but two books from friends.
You can open the book at any page and start reading, the stories are more detailed observations and advise which springs from experience.
Let me share what I found on page 30.
'The smallest insect in the world is a sort of firefly and its body is only a fifth of a millimetre long.One can only just see it with the naked eye.Almost like a speck of dust, yet it has perfect little wings and little combs on its legs for preening itself.
That is perfection.'
I have yet to get started on The Calcutta Cook Book but it's my type of cook book it has stories about the food along with the recipes.
I must add some simple dishes from this book to my repertoire and I'll have a Bengali to critique the results so I can hone my skills of preparing Bengali cuisine.
I hope you have something interesting to read. Have a great weekend.

1 year of Stitches at the end of February
After the 17th of February I didn't find time to do any stitching, not until the 25th.
There are a number of butterflies to be seen in the Lamb's Rock area where I live so I decided a couple of butterflies should be featured.

Open Door Program
1623 West Sterns Road
Temperance, MI 48182
Bedford Public Schools
Central Administration offices
Open Door Program
|What is Bedford's Open Door Alternative High School?
|Open Door Alternative High School (O.D.A.H.S.) was established in August, 1987 as a non-traditional senior High School program based on the premise that there are legitimate differences in people and in the way they learn. The programs primary purpose is to help sudents who have experienced failure or very little success in their previous educational experience.
|What makes alternative education unique?
|Alternative Education is a generic label applied to a variety of educational programs. Alternative simply means different to the traditional public school setting. Alternative's biggest point of departure from traditional public schools is in the area of teacher/student interaction, with teachers assuming a less traditional role and involving students in the school decision-making process.
Also, alternative education differs in the method of instruction and curriculum. Another major point of departure is in the grading system. Students are individually evaluated based on their measure of growth.
|How are Students Selected?
Open Door is a program of choice. Students are selected through an application/referral procedure. An application/referral form may be initiated by any student, parent, gaurdian, caseworker, teacher, counselor, or school principal. The completed form must be submitted to O.D.A.H.S. for consideration and approval.
|What does the Instructional Program Offer?
|Students are enrolled in a basic academic program at O.D.A.H.S. All courses are designed to meet requirements for high school graduation. Students do not graduate from Open Door - credits earned are transferred to the Main Campus program for graduation.
Since its inception, Open Door has been instrumental in assisting over 100 students earn their Bedford High School diplomas. Classes are small and instruction is individualized to meet the needs and abilities of the student. Report cards and progress reports are mailed to the home.
|Structure of the School Day / Year.
|Open Door offers classes to better meet the special needs of its students. The primary focus of the school day is academic development. Bedford Open Door is a closed campus and building behavior and discipline are strictly managed.
Open Door follows the same calendar and vacation schedule as Bedford Public Schools.
Open Door students are not permitted to return to the main campus after their school day or during regular school hours unless they are involved in a co-curricular activity. Students who enroll at Open Door must finish the current school year before applying to return to main campus.
|Enrollment in the Open Door program requires a commitment on the part of the student attending the school, and the students' parents/guardians. This commitment involves the investment of time and effort that it takes to insure daily student promptness and attendance. Parents must take an active role in monitoring the studnet's attendance on a daily basis.
|The program is staffed by full-time certified teachers and an aide.
|Guidance and Counseling Services.
|Guidance and counseling are an important part of the program. A counselor from the main campus is assigned to the pogram to primarily assist students with personal problems.
|Removal from the Open Door program.
|Students will be given every opportunity to be successful, responsible participants in the alternative program. If the student does not respond positively to the program, the student may be dismissed. When a student's continued participation is deemed destructive to the program, the student will be removed from the program and the parents/guardians will be notified.
|Who Provides Transportation?
|No transportation is provided for the students. It's the responsibility of the students and their families to secure transportation to and from the facility.
|Where is the Program Located?
|The O.D.A.H.S. is located in the Bedford Public Schools Central Administration Building at 1623 West Sterns Road.

Giant White Squill Fabulous 5
SHOP ALL squill giant white
We're all about big bulbs here at Easy to Grow Bulbs but these made our eyes pop! (They also stopped the local USDA inspector dead in her tracks when she happened by for a visit and she sees thousands of plants.) The bulbs are grown by a fellow who farms non-irrigated land in the Southern California desert. Each bulb is about 10 years old. (Read more about the development of Giant White Squill.) The flowers are borne on tall upright stems that top out at about 5 feet. In the beginning the stalks are poker straight, but as they mature over a full month, they develop unusual twists and curls. An innovative florists' dream, these flowers have appeared in Architectural Digest, Garden Design and In Style magazines, in Pottery Barn catalogs, and have graced tables at the toniest Hollywood gatherings. Giant white squill bulbs produce wide, attractive leaves from November through May, slip into dormancy during mid summer and then sprout a huge flower stalk in August. With high "Wow" appeal, if you appreciate the unusual you'll love these! We all know plants have more impact when grouped. Find a prominent spot for these 5 fabulous bulbs. They're like nothing you'll find anywhere else.

Pitcher Plants in Horseshoe Lake

The water level was higher than when I had been here in the past and reached almost up to the dock. We got in our boats and started paddling out on the water. We initially paddled to the west, where the lake is more swampy. There were a ton of cypress trees sticking out from the water and ...
