Pumped Up! Sure he his.
Trouble Ahead of Oz – Swann Spins it!
The start of the day was as expected the English came with a fire or get fired attitude and they improved their lead and declared. Then came the Aussies into bat and they had a promising opening stand with katich seemingly having a niggle and could not run good between the wickets and @ lunch the scoreboard read 78/0. Swann was already in good rhythm and was hitting rough frequently and the much deserved wicket for swann di come as katich departed and soon enough the ever willy ponting left soon(will he be in the next match line up now?).
England,England,England all the way.This match could be heading for a result and the result would be a English 's victory or a draw courtesy the rain god.
Today, the Aussies faced yet another leather hunt with another batsmen dominating the bowling. Cook left early today and Kp came to the fore with another partnership along with collingwood who had a good time in the middle and guess what! Kp who did not have a century under his belt for 18 months scored a century and converted it as a double ton to Barmy Army's delight . Collingwood departed and bell joined Kp to keep Oz bowlers @ bay . For,the Aussies Harris was the pick of the bowlers ,Doherty was clueless and definitely not in the fray for the next match .
Yes, That's the way pavilion is for England &" It is blocked"
Today, Ponting & his men could not find any way forward . The bowlers returned to the dressing room with nothing to show in their wicket column . The Barmy Army has all the reasons to act wild and go haywire with all their batsmen making merry in the center.
Waiting for the second leap!
Today, The start of the day could not be as good with Bollinger striking early in the very first over of the day but sadly for the Oz that was the only piece of joy they had until this time of the day .
Strauss @ the start of the day would be quite embarrassed about his dismissal .He was trying to let the ball but it came back and cleaned him up and bollinger was hoped to continue the rhythm but did not happen.
Then joined the troubling partners of the previous match Trott and Cook who are yet to be removed from the previous match and beleive me they both are looking too good for yet another centuries and after the first over wicket when the scoreboard read 3/1 the partnership of cook and trott is now worth 153 with each scoring 70 and 66 respectively and @ 9:35 IST England are 166/1 trailing by 78 runs and raring to go.
Barmy Army is having a feast over here in Adelaide.
The final and the supposed to be thrilling final day is actually heading towards a tame draw. With the Oz bowlers finding no magic and losing all the referrals could not even produce one another wicket. Cook and trott are having a good time in the middle with cook scoring a double ton and still growing ,Trott scoring yet another ton this year both reaching 5th and 4th places in the year long top run scorer's list. Ponting is embarrassing himself with fraudulent appeals and he better stop them to gain some kind of respect.The match is a sure shot draw and England have gained their respect and at last stopped the practice of bad starts for Ashes at least for this series.@ 9:10 IST the score is 503/1 with a lead of282 runs with 9 wickets in hand.

I got a great deal of feedback on the picture of Borage that I posted on my last blog. Let me respond to those who expressed an interest in the plant.
Borage is my favorite weed. No really, it is. By definition, a weed, is any plant growing where it is not wanted. Believe me when I say that Borage is indeed a weed. It will grow practically everywhere and anywhere. I planted a package of the seed four years ago and I haven't had to buy another package since. Not only does it seem to grow everywhere, it reseeds like mad. I even get new borage plants in mid-season.
In the spring I locate likely candidates, wherever they happen to be thriving, scoop them up and plant them just where I want them. The rest I just treat like garden weeds. I would not say they are pest, they make my life really easy - I can stick them anywhere I need a filler plant and they will happily oblige with quick growth that will quickly reach a height of about 24 inches.
They are also attractive and unusual. Brilliant blue star shaped flowers nod in the breeze and bloom all summer long. Though the blossoms are small, they are showy and highly attractive to bees. Even better the pretty little flowers can be candied and used to decorate cakes as an edible garnish. They can also be dried to add color to potpourri.
The leaves are fairly plain looking and are covered in hairy fibers, giving them a fuzzy appearance. The young leaves can be added to salads.Older leaves can be chopped and added to soups and stews during the last few minutes of cooking. Some people cook them with cabbage leaves (two parts cabbage to one part borage.) Borage is rich in minerals, especially potassium. A tea made with borage is said to help reduce fevers and ease chest colds.
A nifty plant all round, ridiculously easy to grow. If you want to get children interested in gardening - let them plant some borage. They will be enchanted and delighted with this quick growing herb.
Can borage survive in humid zone 8b?
I do love your plant but as you said I have to get them here in the states.Its the little blue flower and the fuzzie leaves that get me.
Definately a great plant to have in the garden.

INDIAN MONSOON
Disclaimer: Copyright infringement not intended.
While torrential rains have caused floods in rivers at several places destroying infrastructure and extracting a heavy toll on life, the opposite is being witnessed, with large areas suffering drought and shortage of water.
Several districts have had extreme changes in rainfall patterns over the last weeks of August 2022. As many as 163 districts in Tamil Nadu, pockets of South India and parts of the Indo-Gangetic plain in Uttarakhand, Bengal and Haryana went from witnessing excess rainfall to deficient rainfall in the week ending August 2022.
During the same period, 167 districts in Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Maharashtra and Odisha went from deficient to excess rainfall.
Rainfall for the country as a whole for July 2022 was 327.7 mm, 17% more than the long period average making it the second highest since 2001 after 2005.
About Indian Meteorological Department (IMD)
India Meteorological Department was established in 1875. It is the National Meteorological Service of the country and the principal government agency in all matters relating to meteorology and allied subjects.
To take meteorological observations and to provide current and forecast meteorological information for optimum operation of weather-sensitive activities like agriculture, irrigation, shipping, aviation, offshore oil explorations, etc.
To warn against severe weather phenomena like tropical cyclones, norwesters, dust storms, heavy rains and snow, cold and heat waves, etc., which destroy life and property.
To provide meteorological statistics required for agriculture, water resource management, industries, oil exploration and other nation-building activities.
To conduct and promote research in meteorology and allied disciplines.
The pattern of the Indian season has changed over the years, specifically the 2022 monsoon season. Almost one-half of India i.e., 163 districts have witnessed deficient to excessive rainfall and the other half has gone from excessive to deficient rainfall.
What are the Indian Metrological Department (IMD) statistics regarding monsoon 2022?
As per the IMD, the 2022 southwest monsoon pattern was a typical monsoon pattern of a good monsoon. Considering the pattern of the monsoon, the IMD has categorised it as normal to excess monsoon.
Over 29 metrological subdivisions out of 36 had normal to excess monsoon in 2022. It includes the subdivisions in Central India, Peninsular India and Northeast India. But at the same time several metrological subdivisions like Uttar Pradesh (UP), Bihar, West Bengal, Jharkhand, Nagaland, Manipur, Tripura and Kerala experienced deficient rainfall in 2022.
In Kerala the deficiency of about 21% was not so serious but it was 40% in Western UP and about 47% in Eastern UP, 41% in Bihar, 27% in Jharkhand and 30% in West Bengal.
The Gangetic plain from Western UP to West Bengal has experienced the most deficient rainfall and its impact on the region. In West Bengal late July received normal rainfall. Therefore, the intensity of deficient rainfall was maximum at UP followed by Bihar.
On the other hand, floods have been experienced in the Central part of the country and the coastal regions starting from Odisha to Gujarat. This was mainly due to low-pressure systems or depressions developed over the Bay of Bengal and moved towards Odisha and Rajasthan.
IMD explained two significant things; first, is the number in terms of how the monsoon progressed over the period between June to August 2022 almost across the country. Second, is the changing pattern of monsoon i.e., the development of low-pressure zones.
Is this change in the monsoon pattern unique to 2022 or is it a recurring phenomenon?
Monsoon is a large-scale circulation; it shows large inter-annual variation and also the intra-seasonal variation within the season itself. It was 92% of the long-period average with 8% deficient in the month of June, 10% excess in the month of July and 17% excess in the month of August. That is part of the intra-seasonal
But if we consider the data for the 100 years – the total amount of rainfall for the country as a whole does not show a trend, but it shows the rising trend in different parts of the country.
For example, the total amount of rainfall in the monsoon season over the North-Eastern states and some parts of eastern India including UP and Bihar shows a decreasing span of rainfall. At the same time, the western part of India like Kutch and Rajasthan shows a rising trend in rainfall activity during the monsoon season.
Within the season itself, though the total amount of rainfall remains almost the same there is a changing pattern in the distribution of rainfall within the season. The number of light and moderate days of rain is decreasing. At the same time, the number of heavy rainfall days is increasing which is causing the threat of floods.
The year-to-year variability and the variability of the season itself have also increased and thus leading to frequent droughts and floods.
What could be the possible reasons for such variability in the season?
As per the Assessment of Climate Change over the Indian Region report by the Ministry of Earth Science (MoES) and similarly the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) in its 6th Assessment Report highlighted two major things:
First, with an increase in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, there is an increase in global warming or increase in atmospheric temperature. This led to high evaporation in the Arabian Sea and Bay of Bengal and hence, developed the low-pressure zones and other climate change-induced weather events.
Second, the occurrence of extreme weather events is unprecedented in the observed record and will increase with increasing global warming, according to the Sixth Assessment report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).
This makes us discuss three points:
Weakening of monsoon: Due to the increase in global warming or atmospheric temperatures, the evaporation at sea level has changed. This has disturbed the air circulation.
Too much or too little water: As per the last 100 years' data, there was a 30-year decrease in rainfall, then a 30-year increase in rainfall and then again, a 30-year decrease in rainfall.
Rainy days: As per the 2022 monsoon, June was deficient in some regions, July witnessed heavy rainfall, then August again was deficient in the same region. This explains the pattern of the monsoon has not just changed but has also become unpredictable.
In the last 100 years there was an increase in the intensity of rainfall and it will further increase in the next 100 years. But the rainy days will decrease.
The change in monsoon pattern i.e., deficient and excess rainfall is due to the global warming
There are three main aspects of climate change:
Science of climate change
Adaption towards climate change
Mitigation aspect of climate change
IMD is dealing with the 'science of climate change and also gave three aspects
Detection of climate change, whether the climate is real or not
If the climate change is really what is the attribution or reason for that
Projection, like what is going to happen in the next 50 years.
The first and foremost impact of climate change is extreme weather events. Globally the intensity of rainfall in the tropical region has increased due to the impact of climate change.
With an increase in temperature the water holding capacity in the atmosphere also increases and at the same time the atmosphere becomes more unstable and hence more frequent rainfall. This increase in the occurrence of low-pressure development.
During the 2022 monsoon season, around 13 low-pressure zones developed in India including five monsoon depressions. A total of 57 days of the occurrence of low pressure is found in the monsoon season of 2022.
As per the trends from 1901, it has been analysed that the frequency of monsoon depressions has decreased but the frequency of low-pressure systems has increased.
There has also been an increase in sea surface temperature and this also pumps up the moisture into the atmosphere and hence also contributes to changing the pattern of air circulation. This also explains why there has been an increase in the formation of cyclones over the Arabian sea region.
Weather events related to another season (winter and summer) have also recorded the change in pattern. The rising frequency and intensity of heat waves are also due to an increase in atmospheric temperature.
However, every weather event is attributed to climate change, for example, the occurrence of frequency of rainfall can be attributed to climate change but not the total amount of rainfall.
Recent extreme weather events recorded in many Asian and European countries explain that climate change is a global phenomenon
Heavy snowfall in Madrid, Spain; Cyclone Ana, Fiji; Winter storms, Texas; Dust storm, China; Flooding, Australia; High temperature, Moscow; Heat dome, USA; Bootleg fire, USA; etc. were examples of extreme weather events all over the globe.
However, climate change has a major impact on tropical countries. The temperature of the earth is rapidly increasing and that increase in temperature is infecting the monsoon circulation. In India, since 1951, the monsoon circulation has weakened especially in the regions like Western Ghats & Indo-Gangetic regions and simultaneously the incidents of localised heavy rainfall have increased.
The increased temperatures also increased the duration of the dry spells between the rainy days during the monsoon. Hence, the climate was already changing naturally but with an increase in emission of GHGs, the warm earth has fastened this change.
The way ahead
The debatable thing here is; whether the effect on the Indian monsoon is local or global. The Indian monsoon is affected by the global situation. The coast of Latin American country, Peru has been affecting the Indian climate specifically monsoon in association with 'El Nino' or 'La Nina'.
Since it's a global situation, it needs global action. In the Conference of Parties (CoP 26), India asked the developed nations to show their contribution as developing countries like India need to balance economic growth with the environment to eradicate poverty.
Since the middle of the 20th century, India has been witnessing a rise in average temperature; a decrease in monsoon precipitation; a rise in extreme temperature and rainfall events, droughts, and sea levels; and an increase in the intensity of severe cyclones, alongside other changes in the monsoon system. There is compelling scientific evidence that human activities have influenced these changes in regional climate.
Human-induced climate change is expected to continue apace during the twenty-first century. To improve the accuracy of future climate projections, particularly in the context of regional forecasts, it is essential to develop strategic approaches for improving the knowledge of Earth system processes and to continue enhancing observation systems and climate models.

This big reptile is a croc.
(2020) Horror (Screen Media) Jessica McNamee, Luke Mitchell, Amali Golden, Benjamin Hoetjes, Anthony J. Sharpe, Louis Toshio Okada, Rumi Kikuchi, Stu Kirk, Damien Blewett, J' Ma, Jarod Woods, Rhys Ward, Isabella Sheehan, Glenn Adams, Julie Selis-Muscat, Vicky Wanless, Lincoln Callaghan, Troy Black, Mary Jane, Adam Lacey, Phillip Davy, Isabelle Rickards, Lynne Rose. Directed by Andrew Traucki
Sometimes, you're not after a movie that's going to involve you in the lives of its characters. Every now and then, you want a movie that just smacks you in the face with a stupid stick, fills the screen with improbable action and just lets you revel in your baser instincts. That's not too much to ask, is it?
A pair of Type-A Aussie couples – well, at least that's half-true – are headed to do some spelunking in the cave systems of Northern Australia. Alpha male Eric (Mitchell) and his wife Jennifer (McNamee) – who would much rather be getting room service in a five star hotel – has taken cancer survivor Vitor (Hoetjes) and his newly pregnant wife Yolanda (Golden) along with cave explorer and Eric's buddy Cash (Sharpe) to a cave that only recently was discovered when a sinkhole opened up. Do they tell anyone where they are going? NO, THEY DO NOT! Have these assclowns not seen a horror movie ever?
Well, if you think that's irresponsible, they also choose to ignore an approaching storm. The result? They are trapped in the cave with rapidly rising waters, but that's really the least of their problems. You see, there's a very hungry and singularly-minded crocodile swimming around and these five numbskulls have effectively just rung the dinner bell.
There are stabs at plot development, but they just don't work. When you're in a survival situation, generally speaking that's not the time to work out marital issues, but of course, when you're being stalked by a giant killer croc, what else is there to do? One of the dim-witted croc snacks even expresses shock that they can't get a cell signal two hundred feet below the ground in the middle of a swamp. No, really? REALLY?!?
Predictably, as the crock picks them off one by one, they race for a way out before the water rises above their safe little ledge. With one of their number badly injured and another pregnant, what chance to these guys have to outwit the croc in its own element?
This is a sequel to the minor 2007 hit Black Water only in the loosest terms in that it's set in Australia, there's a crocodile and one of the young people being stalked is pregnant. If you didn't see it, it won't affect your enjoyment of this one (or lack thereof). And while I've been harsh up to now, there are some elements here that aren't too bad – the cinematography is lush, whether in the caves or out in the swamps.
We don't get to see much of the crock, as it mostly swims around in murky waters, but what we do see is pretty impressive. However, the actual deaths are not easy to see, given that the cave environment is so dark, the water is murky and roiling with a thrashing crocodile and an equally thrashing victim. The sounds of the kills might be what get to you, though, if you tend to be faint of heart. In some ways, that makes the death scenes more gruesome than they actually are.
Essentially, this is pretty typical survival horror with a big, mad predator. There are no surprises here, hardly any character development other than one of the girls remarking that her relationship with her fella has been rocky, until near the end when we find out….well, you'll see. And if you're not planning on seeing this, I'm still not going to tell you. In any case, if you're looking for something new to rent, this fits the bill. It isn't horrible but it isn't great. It's just kind of there, like an Appleby's.
REASONS TO SEE: Some lovely jungle and cave cinematography.
REASONS TO AVOID: Stock characters being picked off one by one.
FAMILY VALUES: There is profanity and scenes of terror.
TRIVIAL PURSUIT: This is a sequel to the 2007 film Black Water which Traucki co-wrote and co-directed.

For every princess, there must be a prince, frog or not.
(2009) Animated Feature (Disney) Starring the voices of Anika Noni Rose, Terrance Howard, Oprah Winfrey, John Goodman, Keith David, Jenifer Lewis, Jim Cummings, Bruno Campos, Randy Newman, Emeril Lagasse, Jennifer Cody, Peter Bartlett, Michael-Leon Wooley. Directed by Ron Clements and John Musker
Once upon a time, all animation was hand drawn in a painstaking process that took years for each feature to be completed. However, computers not only made the process faster, allowing for more animated features to be created every year, those who were more programmers than artists created an onslaught of computer animation that had little soul and nothing much to recommend them while still doing great box office. The days of hand-drawn animation seemingly at an end, Disney shut down its pen and ink division and decided to go full time to computer animation. When their own in-house efforts yielded less-than-stellar results, Disney wound up buying Pixar (whose films they had distributed from the get-go) and installing their chief, John Lassiter, in charge of Disney's entire animated division, including Pixar.
But Lassiter did a funny thing for a computer guy; he re-instated the traditional animation department, hiring back many of the animators who had been let go. Their first effort is this take on "The Frog Prince" only with a distaff sensibility.
Tiana (Rose) is a young waitress in jazz-age New Orleans with a dream. She wants to open up her own restaurant where she can serve up her daddy's gumbo recipe, with just a dash of hot sauce. Her daddy (Howard) died in the Great War, leaving her and her momma (Winfrey) to care for each other. Tiana's ditzy best friend, Charlotte LaBouff (Cody) and her doting dad (Goodman) are out to get Charlotte a prince, and when one drops in her lap, she's ecstatic.
That Prince is Naveen (Campos) from the impoverished country of Moldonia. He needs to wed a rich lady to help restore the empty coffers of the Moldonian treasury but quite frankly, Naveen is more interested in playing music and letting Le Bon Tomps Roullez in the French Quarter. He also attracts the attention of the evil and nefarious Dr. Facillier (David) a.k.a. the Shadow Man, who casts a voodoo spell on the Prince, turning him into a frog while his soul is transferred into the body of Naveen's manservant/butler/attaché Lawrence (Bartlett) who would then hand over control of the money and Moldonia to the evil Doc.
In desperation, Naveen tries to find a princess to kiss him and restore him to his former shape, but mistakes Tiana, dressed up for the engagement party of her friend Charlotte, for a princess and the kiss only turns Tiana into a fellow amphibian. Chased by Dr. Facillier who needs the frog prince to refill his magical potion that keeps Lawrence in the form of Naveen, Tiana and Naveen head to the swamp where they meet up with allies of their own; the practical firefly Ray (Cummings), the trumpet-playing crocodile Louis (Wooley) and his buddies (Lagasse, Newman) as well as Mama Odie (Lewis), a voodoo priestess who perhaps alone can reverse the curse of Dr. Facillier.
Is this a return to the form that saw Disney create classic after classic in the 90s? Yes and no. While this doesn't quite measure up to Beauty and the Beast or The Lion King, it's much better than recent attempts such as Home on the Range or Brother Bear. As a matter of fact, while it doesn't hit the high notes that Pixar's movies tend to, it's still a pretty solid effort.
Rose makes for a feisty princess, the kind that Disney can easily market not only to young African American girls but to the legions of princess-happy tots whose parents deposit hundreds of millions of dollars into Disney's coffers. The cast has a great deal of energy, particularly Cummings, Cody and Wooley, and the movie barrels along at a jolly pace.
The New Orleans locale is inspired, albeit this is something of a fantasy Big Easy, but it's recognizable nonetheless. New Orleans is the kind of city that has enough mystery and romance that other cities can only hope for; only New York and San Francisco among American cities have the kind of cachet that the Crescent City possesses, and the jazz age New Orleans is something special again.
There are some passable musical numbers but oddly enough, many of them bring the movie to a grinding halt as the characters go into a song and dance routine that temporarily halts the story's progression. Personally, I might have cut two or three of the numbers, but I might be in the minority on this one; certainly kids will love the brassy, jazzy music that has a touch of modern hip-hop, gospel and even rock and roll on the edge. This isn't your mommy and daddy's Disney.
And yet, in a very real way, it is. This is very much the kind of movie that Disney was making ten years ago to great success and had it been released then, it might well be considered a classic on the level of, say, The Little Mermaid. Even so, it is better than most of the Disney releases before and after that incredible run in the last decade, and marks a welcome return of an art form that was certainly on the endangered list. For that accomplishment alone, regardless of the social implications of an African-American princess (which are certainly important in their own right), this movie deserves a respectful audience, who will be rewarded with a rollicking good time.
WHY RENT THIS: The first hand-drawn Disney animation in six years is worth celebrating; it is also a return to form for an artform that has widely lost its luster with the explosion of computer animation which Pixar helped usher in.
WHY RENT SOMETHING ELSE: Two many musical numbers stops the films momentum dead in its tracks from time to time.
FAMILY VALUES: Suitable for all audiences – c'mon, it's DISNEY, you know.
TRIVIAL PURSUIT: Not only is this the first Disney film to feature an African-American princess, it is the first to feature a left-handed princess (Rose is also left-handed and she requested that the animators make her character the same).
NOTABLE DVD EXTRAS: The Blu-Ray includes featurettes on the history of Disney Princesses and how the newest one fits in. There is also an interactive game for the kids, as well as a music video of Ne-Yo's "Never Knew I Needed You." All in all, chock full of goodies as is the way Disney normally does things.
BOX OFFICE PERFORMANCE: $267M on a production budget of $105M; the movie was profitable.
TOMORROW: Morning Glory

Life is Just a Storm- Chapter 17- Black Hope

Lukan at first wasn't completely aware of another creature sitting next to him on the bench. There was already far too much on his mind for it to allow his mind to focus on anything else right away. His mind was lagging. Backlogged. Overwhelmed. So it was of no surprise at all when Lukan also failed to notice the other creature trying to get his attention. Lukan was already bad at this… But all the mental storm on top of that made it worse somehow. How was this possible? It couldn't be possible!
"Lukan?" The only thing Lukan was even remotely able to do was listen for his name, but the mechanism in his brain that made it respond to whenever his name was called out failed each and every time to activate. It was on overdrive to a point where Lukan felt that it may eventually collapse. Hell, he was barely aware of the creature next to him tugging on his arm. He was only aware of their presence. If he was even there at all. What was real anymore? What was life now? What was anything at all? Nothing makes sense anymore. All the entropy in the world was gone. Forever. Never to return.
His shoulder was being shaken. But Lukan was barely able to even make his body take notice. His mind was too numb. After more and more nudging, eventually Lukan fell back onto Earth. The raccoon was convinced his mind was about to hit escape velocity however. "Lukan!"
"Huh? What?" Lukan stumbled for words when he re-entered reality. He looked to his left and saw the same black cat from before sitting next to him, looking thoroughly concerned.
Nate put a hand on Lukan's opposite shoulder. "Are you okay? It seemed like you were about to pass out or something and-- hey… are you crying?"
Yet another testament to his mind's utter lack of attention to then and now, Lukan was surprised by the tears leaking from his eyes. "I-I guess so," he said shakily.
"What's wrong? You seemed fine when we were talking in the store…" Nate said sympathetically.
Lukan knew for a fact that he wasn't going to be able to evade any questions any longer. Not when he was beyond obviously broken down as such. This upset Lukan even more; all he ever wanted before in life was to stay as inconspicuous as possible. Where was his coon shell?! Where was his comfort in solitude?! "W-well… I guess you could say that I am having trouble getting over a breakup." Didn't Lukan already deduce that this was true, and that it was heartache and loneliness that he was more than likely suffering from? What was this? What were his true feelings? Lukan just wanted to scream. He couldn't take just how batshit confusing everything was now!
Nate looked down. "I see. I wish I knew what to say; I've never been in a relationship before," he admitted.
"Y-you haven't?" Lukan sniffed lightly, trying to clear away his tears before they became too severe for him to talk.
Nate shook his head sadly. "Yeah, and I do want to be in one, but… It's… hard."
"Y-you have no idea," Lukan replied. How would the raccoon know?! He had been in only one relationship before!
"I mean getting into one," Nate scowled. "But… if heartbreak is this bad, then is it worth it?"
Lukan had to think. While heartbreak was by far the worst thing he had ever experienced in his thus far, the sheer joy he had experienced when he was with Klaus was by far the best. In the end he just sighed. "I don't know."
"I guess it's something I have to find out for myself then," Nate replied tonelessly. "God, I wish I could help you though. I don't even really know what happened, but--"
"I hope I'll be alright soon. I've always been a broody shithead." Lukan admitted, forcing a smile and trying too hard to be humorous.
Nate nodded. "Are you sure?" He seemed one hundred percent skeptical.
"No." was Lukan's simple and blunt reply.
"Huh. Alright then," Nate responded. "I really am sorry. I can't be of much help." The black cat stood up.
Lukan shook his head, once again trying to clear it, and failing miserably. "No don't worry too much about it. Too be perfectly honest, I don't even know what could help me right now. A new boyfriend. Some comfort--" Lukan gasped, immediately realizing that he just slipped up. "Sh-shit I meant girlfriend, whoops.." He tried to play if off as a mistake, even though it actually was. A truthful mistake in fact. Nate said nothing immediately, but he seemed to be staring right through Lukan. Oh no… Was the creature a homophobe? Lukan had done his absolute best to try and avoid them as much as he could. Such a creature was the very last thing he needed to deal with right about now…
"Y-you're gay too? Y-you're going to think I'm pathetic as hell, but I thought I was the only one in Lilac Grove."
Wait WHAT?! Another one?! Lukan felt his eyes go wide. "I-is this why you said getting into a relationship was hard?" And why was that specifically the first thing he asked upon such a revelation? Even in heartache, still an idiot coon…
Nate nodded. "Yeah, actually, yeah. Well, bisexual more like, but..." He trailed off. Hey. That was Lukan's job!
Lukan barely managed to keep himself from flinching. Klaus had no idea that there are other creatures just like him waiting to be found. ...If he tried to find them, that is. Wasn't the point of Klaus breaking Lukan's coon shell was so that Lukan could be more social? Lukan began to think: Was Lilac Grove really that bad after all? After all, he only had Klaus' assumptions to base his beliefs on. "Well…" He brought himself to say. "There are more gay guys than you think here. Literally, I think the only creature I know who isn't is one of my coworkers in this store."
"Is there really?" Nate's ears perked.
Lukan nodded. "There's my ex, an otter. There's also a wolf, a fox, and… a snep that I know." Lukan momentarily wavered on whether he should have mentioned the other feline at all.
"A snep? It wouldn't happen to be the one that was looking for you earlier, would it?" The amber eyes were as big and bright as the full moon.
Lukan hesitated. What was he doing? Why was he saying this? Especially when concerning how untrustworthy that snep had proven himself to be? He was worried if he said too much more, he would literally be guiding this cat right to Will, where the snep would do as he attempted to on Platt and Aero. There was no way Lukan could handle that on his conscious! "Um… Well yeah," Idiot coon! "B-but I wouldn't try and date him if I were you!" he quickly tried to save himself.
Nate looked curious. "Why's that?"
Lukan sighed again. "I dunno if I can explain it. I'm really bad at that, ya know. That fox I mentioned would be able to though. He's dated that snep for some time before."
Nate was scratching his head. "Okay…" he seemed uncertain and skeptical. "I dunno what you're really talking about, but… okay."
"Sorry," Lukan apologized fretfully. "I don't have the time to anyways. I gotta get back to work in a moment."
Nate dipped his head. "I getcha. Um, Lukan? I wanted to ask you something before you went back."
Lukan looked at the cat as he stood up from the cold bench, legs and hindquarters almost numb from the cold. Despite that, Lukan for some reason liked that feeling. "What would that be?"
"Well, I was wondering if you wanted to hang out sometime? The only thing I can think of to help you is to give you some company and such. Unless you want to be left alone, I understand."
Lukan smiled softly and ruefully stared at the ground. "I think being alone is the last thing I need right about now," he muttered.
Upon returning to work, Lukan had to mull even more things over. Did… did that cat actually ask him out on a date? Lukan became nervous. If so, then Lukan wasn't sure how well he'd do on one. He never had actually gone on one with Klaus after all. Nate had asked to meet him in downtown after all. It wasn't the most ideal place for a date, although there were restaurants and movie theaters within there to make it so. Lukan hadn't even been in downtown Lilac Grove for over a year. Last time he went was before he dropped out of college to buy books from the only book store left in town. Also Lukan knew the only way he was going to even get there was via bus, and Lukan hated taking the bus. Hated how unreliable the bus always seemed, being super late one day, but early the next, and leaving early and resulting in Lukan missing the bus entirely!
Wait a moment. If this cat really intended to take Lukan on a date rather than hanging out as he said it would be, then… A flash of hope suddenly flared to life deep within Lukan's previously blackened soul. Does this mean the heartache could become squandered and replaced with the happiness Lukan had missed for so long already?! It was too good to be true. Lukan knew it. But despite that, Lukan wanted to hope. He wanted to be optimistic. This is what he wanted to be true. His heart beat in his chest with more energy, fueling Lukan with the same energy. A feeling that Lukan sorely missed.
Although a part of him wondered about Klaus. Klaus did say he had every intention of coming back for Lukan someday. How true was that statement? Lukan shook his head. As much as he loved the otter, he couldn't wait to squander the heartache for even another second. Now he hoped that the otter was lying to him. No. He was. He had to be. No matter what that otter could say to defend his decision, there is nothing on Planet Earth that could justify inflicting heartbreak under such circumstances! None! Lukan felt a strange brand of determination welling inside him. Lukan was angry at Klaus, but it fueled his determination to finally become able to move on from him to someone at least potentially new.
A few hours later, Lukan went to go and clock out for the day when the familiar shape flashed in front of him. A peanut butter colored otter wearing a tail piercing was swiftly maneuvering his way to the back of the store just as Lukan was. What on Earth was he doing here if he was allegedly fired? Lukan debated following him, but he decided against it. He was more than likely to run into him unintentionally. Lord knows just how often something like that has happened to him in his life. Because Lukan couldn't count that high. And Lukan was aware of obscure numbers up to vigintillion!
True to his predictions, just as Lukan swiped his badge at the time clock to punch out, the otter walked by holding a piece of paper. That paper was more than likely the creature's last paycheck. There were so many emotions on the otter's face that it more than likely outnumbered the amount of times Lukan unintentionally met someone he was trying to avoid. And all of them were negative emotions. That was all Lukan could discern. "Klaus…" he said as the otter walked by. But the otter completely ignored him. He didn't even look at him. And now Lukan's sadness returned, surging alongside anger with a chaotic harmony. Well. If the otter was going to be like this, then Lukan knew exactly what to say should the creature decide to talk to him again.
As always in winter, the sky was already black as that cat's fur and dotted with stars. The bitter cold set it once again. Lukan's freezing nose told him it was below zero again. With February being close to over, so to was winter. He hoped the end of winter would signify more than just the bitter cold. Lukan also liked early spring only because of the similar temperatures to fall. But since it led directly into summer…
Lukan loved listening to the sound of the ice and snow crunching under his paws. The super cold air always calmed him down as well. It felt like the colder the air, the calmer his mind got. The clearer it became. It's no wonder why Lukan always went outside in the cold to plan things out for his life. So Lukan began to think. If Nate was intending what Lukan thought he was, Lukan was welcoming to the idea. Although… if it did happen, what did it mean for his plans to leave Lilac Grove? Lukan decided. It would be just like Klaus' decisions before they even got together. If Lukan was able to find a reason to stay, then he would.
What of Will and his nonsensical views of emotions? All Lukan knew that he could do was simply not allow the feline get into his mind like that. As much as he wanted to prevent other creatures from falling into his trap, he knew he was too powerless to do so. Besides, wasn't Aero doing that instead anyways? Suddenly, Lukan was curious as to how a conversation between Aero and Platt must have gone in regards to this. Back then and now.
Lukan also wondered how both those creatures were doing. Lukan hadn't seen either of them since Platt cut it off with Will. Lukan knew that it wasn't really his business what either of those creatures had been up to, but he couldn't help but wonder at the very least.
Then Lukan remembered something where he meddled in something that technically wasn't his business either. The Richtors' family financial disaster. Klaus was fired… and now Lukan wasn't helping either. They were starting to look up to, and now Klaus had to ruin it by breaking up with Lukan. Klaus had always blamed himself for their problems, but… Lukan was inclined to believe it was so. Still, Lukan hoped that they could still pull through somehow.
But there was something that Lukan couldn't even attempt to fathom. And that was Klaus' actions as of late. Why was he avoiding Lukan as much as possible? Why was he constantly ignoring him? And why did the otter look the way he did, always trying too hard to hide his anguish, but failing? What was the reason why Klaus broke up with Lukan. The real reason? And why did the otter completely collapse when Lukan had said he couldn't live another day without the otter? Why would the otter react like this…? Lukan just didn't understand this. And it hurts him even more that he couldn't just ask the otter with him ignoring him at every possible turn.
When Lukan returned home and hopped onto his computer, he saw the last page that he had left before going to work. It was open to a website that gauged the happiness of creatures within cities all over the country, along with a tab open to check their economies. Lukan couldn't locate one that did both. He sighed, hoping he wouldn't actually need to use these things. He truthfully didn't want to leave the place he had been living for most of his life. But at the same time, Lukan was ready for something new. Something different. Klaus DID show him the beauty of breaking a monotonous life after all. But where to go? Especially if… Lukan did not want to think about it.
Lukan noticed that his email was trying to get his attention. Probably another spam that he hated seeing. Especially since a lot of it came from politicians trying to get him to sway right or left. Lukan just couldn't be bothered. Nevertheless, Lukan went to dispel it. ...Only to see that it was an email. An email from the otter. Klaus Richtors. Lukan immediately felt the blood in the extremities of his body flood from them and towards his heart to fuel its rapid beating. Lukan almost didn't even want to click on it. He was afraid of what it may say considering how Klaus had been acting as of late. But, he knew that if closure was to be met at all, it would be a beneficial idea to open the email. So Lukan did so after a solid moment of hesitation. Lukan's eyes barely felt like they were looking at the words on the screen.
"Hey Lukan. I'm sorry for just brushing past you in the back room of the store earlier. I don't like ignoring you. I really don't. But I just couldn't bring myself to talk to you after everything I have done. I know you think I broke up with you to hurt you. But that couldn't be further from the truth. Please, I need you to understand that I did this to protect you from further harm. But I now see that it may be too late. Because I know what I did. What I did to you by merely being your boyfriend for these past months. It's unforgivable. It's unspeakable. I can't even bring myself to say it, but all I will say, what you're feeling now, I'm sure, is because of me. I cannot apologize enough. I also messaged you now to let you know that me and my family are going back to Rosethorn soon. We can't afford to be here anymore, especially since I got fired. We'll be leaving when the school year is over so we can make sure Kandice can finish second grade in one school. So when I said I would come back to get you, I'm honestly not sure how I can now. As much as it hurts me to say this, but we might have to accept that we won't be together again. I just want you to know how much I love you, no matter what you may think. Can we meet tomorrow at the store? I feel like I can speak to you in person, now that I said what I felt I needed to here. I love you. But I know that in your eyes, I can't prove that. Sorry for being a complete failure. Hope to see you soon.
-Klaus"
Lukan had to take a moment to process what he had just read. So Klaus was moving, just as he had planned? But it seemed like he didn't really want to move despite what he said. He said it was because he couldn't afford to be in Lilac Grove anymore, not because he had enough of the town. Also he wanted to meet Lukan the following day? But he was going to be with Nate for he doesn't know how long. Lukan gripped his fists. He knew what he wanted. But he also knew what he needed. Lukan wrote a quick and short response to Klaus. He wrote how he appreciated the otter's words and finally hearing from him, but that he had somewhere to go the following day. He couldn't bring himself to tell Klaus that he was hanging out with another creature. Lukan understood a little more… Klaus felt the same way about something he believes he had done to Lukan. But it wasn't in regards to breaking up with Lukan or ignoring him all this time. That wasn't it. But what? Something told Lukan that he was going to find out that Klaus was going to tell him next they met in person. But tomorrow did not seem likely. The otter replied within a few moments.
"Oh. It's okay. We can meet at any time really. Late tomorrow night at like midnight if you want. In the park then. It is closer after all."
Lukan nodded to himself, knowing that no one else was going to see him. That seemed acceptable. It wasn't likely that Nate was going to have him all day into late night right? Seemed far too unlikely. Lukan sent his affirmative reply and with that, the otter did not reply anymore. Lukan sighed as he booted down his computer and climbed into bed. With all that seemed to be happening the next day, he new it was going to be an interesting one.
Nate had selected the Lilac Grove public library as a meeting place for the pair of them. Convenient, as the library was just a stone's throw away from where the bus transition station. With how small Lilac Grove was, it only required one of those in downtown. The black cat was waiting, facing away from where Lukan had entered the lot, facing the art museum across the street. Lukan was nervous. What should he say? What should he do? The cat turned around, and immediately saw Lukan. Think fast stupid coon! "Heya Lukan!"
Lukan walked over to the cat and returned his greeting. "Hi Nate." Hi Nate. Lukan could just facepalm right then. "So what did you want to do now that we're out here?" he pondered.
Nate shrugged. "Anything you want, really. There's the library, the museum, lots of stores, restaurants. We could see a movie or whatever. Heh. Lilac Grove doesn't have much else to offer, honestly." One would think a population of sixty thousand would be gifted with more to do. Oh right. It's outdoors or nothing here. Additional reason to leave Lilac Grove obtained-- wait. The cat just suggested restaurants and movies. Holy shit.
Lukan was unnecessarily flustered. "I uh. I uh dunno what to do. I really don't get out very much at all so, I have no idea what the fuck I am doing, or what TO do."
Nate laughed softly at that. "It's alright. I don't really get out much either. How about we start with the museum first?"
Despite Lukan not having any objections at all that he would voice, he did not really like the idea of going into the art museum. It was mostly due to the fact that all the pieces showcased were nothing special, or so abstract that they lost all meaning. Or Lukan just didn't get it. Lukan wanted to be a good artist, but he definitely would create anything that would be considered "post post-modernism". Nevertheless, it felt good to be in another creature's company again even through such dull circumstances.
The pair had spent an hour in the museum before turning their attention to a cafe that was across the street. Nate, the entire time, was trying to get Lukan to try some coffee since Lukan stated his disdain for it. "Come on… try something! I guarantee you hate coffee because every time you get it, it's too black!"
"But I dunno what combination would best suit me!" Lukan protested. "I don't want to spend endless amounts of money trying to find something that might not exist!"
"That's why I'm buying, come on!" Nathias was tugging on his arm trying to get Lukan to try something new. J-just like how Klaus used to do… Lukan suddenly felt slight amounts of sadness in his heart again at such a comparison, which in turn, killed his motivation to argue with the cat any longer, and surrendered.
"Okay, okay fine! You win!" Lukan exclaimed before allowing his body to follow the cat to the designated cafe on the corner of a busy intersection. Once inside, the strong smell of coffee overwhelmed Lukan. The raccoon, like many other creatures, absolutely adored the smell of coffee. Now if only it wasn't so damn deceptive and actually tasted good!
"Okay! Which one would you like to try?" Nate asked curiously.
Lukan scanned the menu. Oh good lord. Frappe. Cappuccino. Espresso. Latte. Mocha. What? What the hell? So many… Lukan still hated his indecisiveness! "I have no fucking idea!"
Nate giggled. "Okay, then let me pick for you. Would you rather have something bitter, or sweet?"
"Sweet, of course, are you nuts?" Lukan replied immediately. Now THERE was something he was quick to decide on!
The cat giggled again. "Okay. You sit your striped butt down, and I'll get you something."
Lukan did as the cat requested and sat down at one of the small tables that lined the wall between the entrance and the counter. He looked around, seeing an assortment of creatures either socializing or on their computers, all holding various cups of caffeine infused beverages. A deer and a lynx, exchanging jokes. A coyote typing away at an expensive looking laptop. A weasel walked in and got behind Nate. It was a lively place. Creatures with seemingly happy lives. Lukan missed being able to say he could be among them.
Nate returned holding two small foam cups, steaming softly. "Hope you like french vanilla!" he said as he set one down for Lukan to take. Lukan took the hot beverage, but Nate interjected before he could take a sip. "Hey I'd let that cool a bit before you try it. Having a scalded tongue isn't fun."
"Fair enough," Lukan replied, setting it down. "So uh… What should we talk about?" he asked, realizing they hadn't actually done much talking. Nate just went on about certain artists while they were at the museum after all.
"Tell me about yourself, if you'd like?" Nate replied.
Lukan immediately lost all the words that he knew. "Oh I uh… I dunno. I'm a pretty boring creature. I'm just a coon!" Which wasn't entirely true anymore, Lukan realied. "Okay, well, I was born in the southwest, lived in four states so far, graduated from Fox Mountain, and have an interest in writing, science, and history I guess."
"That's it?" Nate said jokingly.
"Hey, I'm not very good at talking to creatures," Lukan said.
"What about you and your ex? Are you okay with sharing what happened with you two?"
Lukan flinched. "W-well, not really, but I don't want to recall such memories--"
"Lukan? Wha-?"
Lukan almost fell out of his chair. To do so in public would have been the most embarrassing thing, but he was more focused on the voice that triggered this reaction. He didn't even have to look at the creature to know who it came from. What the hell was Klaus doing here!?

Wow, I practically busted this chapter out in one day. With breaks of course.
I think this chapter may seem a little bit bad and such to some eyes, but trust me, I'll make amends in a future chapter in regards to what I think some people may cite.
...Just trust me, 'kay??
But the plot is indeed taking more turns...
Here is Chapter 17.

Beacon House to Benefit from Memorial Swim
MARQUETTE, MI – A benefit Swim will be held in Negaunee at the Teal Lake shoreline Sunday, August 5th at 11:00 a.m. in memory of Linda (Ward) Halverson.
Organizer Lisa Wetton has designated Beacon House as the recipient of the event, which is now in it's second year.
"Linda felt very passionate about supporting the efforts of organizations like Beacon House," Wetton said. "Which is a non-profit organization which provides families with a place to stay while loved ones are in the hospital, as well as for people to recover after surgery when they have nowhere else to go. When her children were born prematurely in Green Bay eight years ago, she was able to stay at the Sundara House, and was grateful to be able to stay there and be near her babies."
Anyone interested in swimming is welcome and encouraged to join Wetton and Halverson's family and friends in the Sunday morning swim across Teal Lake. The swim is 3 miles and ends at Al Quaal, Ishpeming. Participants are asked to arrive by 10:30 a.m.
"Please send a donation if you're unable to join us." Wetton said. "No donation is too small; five dollars, ten dollars, anything helps. My goal is to raise a minimum of $1,000.00 in Linda's memory. She would have loved us doing this."
Halverson died in boating accident in 2010 while visiting a family cottage in Little Lake. Organizers ask donors to send checks to Lisa Wetton, 709 Croix Street, Negaunee Mi 49866, payable to Beacon House.
For more information, please call Mary Dowling at 906-225-7100 or email mary@upbeaconhouse.org. For more about Beacon House, please visit www.upbeaconhouse.org.

«Ге́ршвин» () — бродвейский театр, расположенный в западной части 51-й улицы в здании «Парамаунт-Плаза» в театральном квартале Манхэттена, Нью-Йорк, США. Зрительный зал рассчитан на 1933 человека, — это самый вместительный театр Бродвея. Управляется компанией «The Nederlander Organization». В фойе театра находится Зал славы Американского театра.

История
Помещения театра находятся на первых уровнях небоскрёба «Парамаунт-Плаза» на историческом месте театра «Капитолий». Интерьеры в стиле модерн были оформлены по проекту сценографа Ральфа Алсванга. Строительство обошлось примерно $12,5 миллионами.

Театр открылся 28 ноября 1972 года под названием «Урис» () (по фамилии братьев-антрепренёров Гарольда и Перси). В день открытия здесь состоялась премьера мюзикла «Виа Галактика». Постановка не имела успеха и с первого же шоу приносила значительные убытки. Мюзикл закрылся после семи спектаклей.

В 1974-76 годах театр использовался в качестве концертной площадки для поп и джазовых исполнителей. Здесь выступали Фрэнк Синатра, Элла Фицджеральд, Каунт Бэйси, Рафаэль, Мишель Легран, Энди Уильямс, Джонни Мэтис, Энтони Ньюли, «Queen» и другие.

5 июня 1983 года здесь прошла 37-я церемония награждения премии Тони. В связи с чем театр был переименован в «Гершвин» — по фамилии братьев Айра (поэт-песенник) и Джорджа (композитор).

С 30 октября 2003 года и по сей день в «Гершвине» идёт прокат одного из самых успешных американских мюзиклов — «Злая». Он установил кассовый рекорд театра в последнюю полную неделю 2013 года, собрав 3 201 333 доллара. Это также: 1) рекорд недельной кассы за всю историю бродвейских постановок; 2) впервые за неделю сумма сборов составила более $3 млн.
