Three seasons ago, the semi-pro soccer team Boise Cutthroats didn’t exist.

They hadn’t yet formed as a team with players not just from Idaho, but Colorado, Montana, Washington, and California. They hadn’t yet traveled 12 to 14 hours to play a game. And they hadn’t yet gone on to nationals not once, but twice to showcase their skills and talents to the country.

She lived above a growing village called Pocatello in an abandoned shack that creaked from the harsh wind. Her garden often swelled with rotted pumpkins, buck-toothed, savage rats, and  purple-headed thistle weeds infested with squirming centipedes.

For much of America, Halloween is a time for bags of candy, elaborate and creative costumes, and eerie tales and activities that pair off with the crisp autumn weather to bring each town a creepy package of spooky holiday spirit. Many might know that Halloween is descended from the holiday All Hallow's Eve, a Celtic festivities holiday in which the Celts believed the veil between the living and the head thinned and interactions beyond the grave were more likely.

Be it for a hobby or a job, learning how to tinker with lathes can give you plenty of life benefits. Not only can this hobby-turned-investment cut back on house items you'll have to purchase in the future, but it can potentially lead to a well-paying career.

You know how florists' flower arrangements always look like that immaculate, perfectly dressed neighbor you can’t help but get a little starry-eyed at? And when you look at your own attempted flower vase arrangement, it’s wilted over like a little kid who had their candy stolen?
