Saint Augustine will always be one of my favorite places to visit in the States. I visited often when I lived in Southern Georgia. Right on the beach with lots of shopping and tourist attractions galore for the history buffs, St. Augustine also has it's darker side. This ancient city has seen it's share of tragedy. And if it's true that ghosts haunt places where they died suddenly or tragically, then St. Augustine may be one of the most haunted places in the United States. Stumble It... Read Full Story

"What's new?" I asked my local fish shop keeper. "Oh, I just got in some really nice Farlowellas!" She replied. She lifted up a fake plant and unceremoniously shook it until the little stick-like catfish abandoned their hiding place. Well I had to have one.

There are several types of Farlowella: The most common are the... Read Full Story

So I know how frustrating it is to get started and maintain an active board. This lens will be a place where you can add links to your forums or links to forums where you participate and would like to help them get... Read Full Story
