From Chicago's Buckingham Fountain and Cloud Gate (aka "The Bean"), Illinois is home to some pretty spectacular sights -- especially for being a cornfield-filled Midwestern state. But there's plenty of natural and man-made beauty in this state that you probably never even knew existed, including hidden waterfalls, flooded forests, and historic structures. Here's a look at Illinois' most beautiful under-the-radar spaces.

Winter Starbucks Beverages Around The World

Virtually the opposite of Chicago's rush-hour insanity, this peaceful scenic drive follows the flow of the Mississippi River for more than 550 miles along the Western edge of the state. The meandering road is home to unobstructed views of the river and the woodlands, and even passes through small Midwestern towns like Galena, Alton, and Grafton.

Honeymoons have their natural charm; they are not the ordinary vacations people go for. Couples look forward to and plan their honeymoons way in advance to make it as fun, exciting and romantic as they possibly can. Choosing the correct destination is of great significance as the climate and ambiance for a season will play a major role in how the honeymoon turns out. India being diverse offers many great spots for honeymoon as the varied topography gives more option for couples to choose spots across the country. Here are the Top 7 places to visit in India for honeymoon listed below.

Andaman and Nicobar Islands

If you are getting married around December to April then the secluded and non-commercial islands of India could be a great choice for honeymooners. They offer nearly 36 islands for stay on the pristine Bay of Bengal. A great choice for beach lovers, these islands are surrounded by clean blue waters that offer great rejuvenation and fun activities that couples can do together like scuba diving, sea fishing and snorkelling.
Alleppey (Kerala Backwaters)
If you are getting married between Octobers and May then Alleppey would be a good option. For coupled who want to spend time amidst nature's bounty, Alleppey offers the famous backwaters for houseboat stays. The excitement of living on the houseboat in beautiful nature gifted Kerala itself is an experience. The major attractions here are the Krishnapuram Palace, the Kettuvallams or rice boats and the, snake boat race
Dalhousie
Dalhousie is often a good choice for couples fond of hill stations. A good time to visit is between April and June. Located in the Chamba district of Himachal Pradesh, it offers lush green valleys, mountainous terrains and snow-caps view of scenic Himachal for a cosy honeymoon overlooking the Tibetan market.
Darjeeling
Another fantastic hill station to visit is Darjeeling located in the Shivalik hills in West Bengal. Famous for tea garden and toy train, Darjeeling offer a romantic ambience in nature's lap for just married couples. The key tourist attractions include the tea gardens, the Himalayan zoo, the Busty Gompa and the Senchal Lake. A great time to visit Darjeeling would be between April and December.
Shillong
Shillong is a romantic hill city located in Meghalaya in the North Eastern Part of India. This spot offers magnificent waterfalls, amazing museums, and holy churches amidst forest and pine trees if visited between March to April. . It greatly differs from the general culture and ways of India. It has the north eastern touch to it. Key tourist attractions would include the Bishop and Beadon Falls, Umiam Lake and the Sohpetbneng Peak.
Jaipur
Jaipur in Rajasthan is not the standard clichéd honeymoon spot; however, it is my personal favourite spot. Being just married you can enjoy a great time with your spouse around the pink city with its magnificence on the royal platter. Visiting the famous world heritage sights and living in regal palaces could sure be a romantic. Travelling to Jaipur between November to February is highly recommended.
Udaipur
Udaipur, again in Rajasthan is definitely thumbs-up for being a great honeymoon destination. Known as the City of Lakes, it offers a Mewari feel, food and culture. Small scattered lakes with majestic structures like the Lake Palace in the middle of the Lake Pichola sanctify the place. Do visit in between November and February.

Take a close look at the month and then filter the destination based on your interest of beaches, hills or cities of interests. Choosing the correct destination is very important for a fun and romatic honeymoon.

Show Me My Opponent: Indiana State

Here's the things about Indiana State University that everyone probably knows.

1. They are located in Indiana.

2. Larry Bird went there.

Well, there you go! That's what we've got on Indiana Sta-

Wait, John Wooden went there? Cool! Legitimately something I didn't know. Alright, moving-uh, one of the best wrestlers of all time went there????

Shoutout to Indiana State for this stuff. A phenomenal collection of three people. Also, apparently it's a "Best of the Midwest" school, whatever that may mean.

The Indiana State Sycamores play FCS football and play basketball in the Missouri Valley Conference. I'm sure they do in football as well, but I can't be bothered to confirm this. ISU is responsible for one legitimate memory in my lifetime:

Shoutout to Jake Odum, who was as Indiana of a player as can be. Anyway, I didn't know anything about their football program other than Mike Sanford, Sr. being their former head coach. Here's what I now know:

Indiana State has made the FCS playoffs once since 1983. They beat Eastern Kentucky by 20 and then lost to UTC in 2014. Not bad!

Their most famous football player is probably Vencie Glenn, a late 1980s/early 1990s defensive back who picked off 35 passes in the NFL.

Their new coach, Curt Mallory, was on the same staff as Butch Jones for one year in 2001. Unsurprisingly, Butch Jones calls him one of his closest friends.

Last week, ISU began their season with a 22-20 loss to Eastern Illinois. They led the game with five minutes to play, but allowed the game-winning 15 yard touchdown with three seconds left. That's pretty devastating. How would it feel to follow up that with a road trip as a 35-point underdog? I don't know. I can't answer your questions.

There's a few things that I do know about Indiana State now that I can share. Let's look at them.

Well they're gonna run it a lot

In the preseason, ISU coach Mallory said their main goal was to run the ball early, often, and successfully. (Or something like that.) They certainly did this against Eastern Illinois: 43 of their 62 plays took place on the ground, and lead running back Lemonte Booker had 31 carries for 154 yards. Now, of course, this was against Eastern Illinois, who isn't a FCS powerhouse and probably has a talent/play level on par with Massachusetts or Georgia State. However, if ISU's smart (and we don't know this yet), they will attack Tennessee's flimsy defensive line like crazy.

Passing game doesn't exist yet

ISU went 7 for 19 through the air against EIU. Their top four receivers from last season all left. I doubt Tennessee's DBs will struggle.

S l oooooooo w

ISU's goal, as previously stated, will be to drain the clock as much as they can. Even a 21-point loss makes them look okay, and if it means there's 115 combined plays in the entire game, they'll love it. They averaged 2.09 plays per minute against EIU, and I expect a similar ratio in this game.

Actually pretty good so far

EIU averaged 4.3 YPC last year and a bit over 400 yards per game; ISU held them to 2.3 YPC and under 275 yards last week. They might have a pretty decent defense for what they are. Plus, they didn't allow a single 20+ yard play of any kind - the longest play was a 17-yard pass.

They got a punter!

He landed three of five punts inside the 20 last week. That's all I've got.

As a Tennessee fan, you should be worried if:

Indiana State finds serious long-term success on the ground against Tennessee's recruiting-service-beloved defensive line.

ISU tops 17 points.

The defense has any amount of success against Tennessee's run game.

Feel good if:

Tennessee's passing game flashes much improved qualities, such as explosive plays and consistent 10-20 yard passes.

Tennessee's defensive line holds Lemonte Booker under 100 yards.

Jarrett Guarantano looks good and doesn't transfer.

The line is ISU +35; maybe they cover, maybe they don't. Tennessee 48, Indiana State 17.

This is a car from the 500 race

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Tony Kanaan experienced some shaky moments during qualifying but they are now afterthoughts after a sparkling performance in Friday's final day of practice for the 100th Indianapolis 500.

Kanaan posted a top lap of 226.280 mph during Carb Day practice sessions, and his level of optimism is rising when it comes to Sunday's race at Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

The struggles that led to Kanaan qualifying 18th in the 33-car field appear to be over.

"I'm happy with my car. Obviously I have to pass 17 people before I get really happy with my car," Kanaan told reporters after practice. "After the struggle in qualifying, we really focused on the race. Anybody who counted us out will be sorry."

Kanaan, who performs for Chip Ganassi Racing, started 12th when he won the 2013 Indy 500.

Carlos Munoz posted the second-best practice speed of 224.772 mph and Scott Dixon was third at 224.606.

"Everything was running good," Munoz said. "The conditions will be different on Sunday. Every practice and qualifying I've been on the top of the charts, but that doesn't matter."

Reigning Indy 500 champion Juan Pablo Montoya, a two-time race winner, had the 13th-best lap speed of 223.571 mph. Three-time Indy 500 winner Helio Castroneves (223.959) was 10th.

James Hinchcliffe, who will start on the pole, was 12th at 223.925 mph.

There was one accident and it involved Pippa Mann. Her vehicle spun and crashed in Turn 4 and backed into the safety barrier.

"I'm absolutely fine," Mann said. "I just really feel sorry for the crew. I was trying to find some clean air in pack running there, got a little too low on the inside. Dropped the ball and gave them some work to do overnight.

"The good news is the damage wasn't too bad. Hopefully it's the right rear corner, rear attenuator, rear wing and that's all we have to fix."

Mann is the lone female in this year's race.

Tulip Poplar (common name)
Liriodendron tulipifera (scientific name)

Not a poplar, and certainly not a tulip, tulip poplar is actually a member of the magnolia family. It possesses a distinctive gray furrowed bark and tulip-like flowers. Tulip poplar grows through most of the eastern states, but it is rare or absent in the extreme north. This is a relatively fast-growing tree, often with tall, straight trunks, branched only at the top. The flowers tend to be produced on high branches, so flowers are most often seen when they have fallen to the ground.

Tulip poplar is also known as yellow poplar, blue poplar, yellow wood, and tuliptree. It is the tallest hardwood tree in North America.

A tall, deciduous, long-lived, broadleaf tree, tulip poplar has a straight trunk with vertically-furrowed bark. Its leaves are light green and deeply lobed. Its flower resembles a green tulip in size and shape. Flowers are greenish-yellow with an orange splotch near the base of each petal. The tree's cone-like seed cluster breaks into winged seeds.

Height: up to 200 ft (61 m)
Diameter: up to 10 ft (3 m)
Bark: brown with vertical grooves
Seed: narrow, light-brown cones
Leaves: heart-shaped with 4 lobes, 5-6 in (13-15 cm) long and wide

This is a fast-growing tree, and may reach 300 years of age in the right climate and soil.

Tulip poplar prefers a temperate climate. It grows well in moist locations with sun or partial shade, such as those along streams or in deep cove forests of the Appalachian Mountains. In such areas, it can be very tall and form an important component of mixed deciduous forests. It shares its habitat with a variety of pines, oaks, baldcypress, tupelo, white ash, American beech, black walnut, and hickory.

Livestock prefer the foliage and stems of tulip poplar over those of other tree species. Young trees are often heavily browsed, which, along with trampling, frequently eliminates seedlings. Cattle or other browsers create "browse lines" on older trees.

White-tailed deer browse tulip poplar during all seasons. Northern bobwhites, purple finches, cottontails, red squirrels, gray squirrels, and white-footed mice consume the winged fruit, called samaras. Yellow-bellied sapsuckers use the vascular tissues, and ruby-throated hummingbirds consume nectar from the flowers.

Tulip poplar in various stages of growth provides hiding and thermal cover for white-tailed deer, small mammals, upland game birds, waterfowl, and non-game birds. It provides habitat for the endangered red-cockaded woodpecker.

Tulip poplar has been valued as an ornamental since the 17th century. It is particularly valued as a honey tree.

This tree was used medicinally in the late 1800's: a heart stimulant was extracted from the inner bark of the root, and a tonic for treating rheumatism and dyspepsia was extracted from stem bark.

Tulip poplar wood is a valuable hardwood tree and is used for construction grade lumber and plywood. It has straight grain, little shrinkage, and excellent gluing qualities. In the past it was used for carriage bodies, shingles, saddle frames, containers and utensils, and interior finish wood. It is currently used for cabinets, veneer, furniture, plywood, and pulp. Tulip poplar has only fair value as a fuel wood but good value as kindling.

Tulip poplar is mainly insect pollinated, with some self-pollination. It is a prolific seed producer. It first produces seed at 15 to 20 years of age and continues to do so for more than 200 years.

After cutting and/or fire, the tree sprouts from dormant buds located on the root crown. Sprouting decreases with age, as the bark becomes too thick for the bud to break through.

This tree grows best on north and east aspects, lower slopes, sheltered coves, and gentle concave slopes. It prefers moderately deep soil that is relatively moist, well drained, fertile, and loosely textured.

Tulip poplar inhabits 26 states in eastern North America. The species ranges from Vermont, west through southern Ontario and Michigan, south to Louisiana, and east to northern Florida. It grows near sea level in Florida, up to 4,500 feet (1,364 m) in the Appalachian Mountains.

Several species of the genus Liriodendron existed throughout North America and Europe in the Cretaceous period.

George Washington planted tulip poplar at Mount Vernon. These trees are now 140 feet tall.

Daniel Boone and eastern Native Americans favored the wood of this tree for dugout canoes. This led early settlers to call the tree canoewood.

Kentucky's choice of tulip poplar as state tree has been subject to much controversy. The original choice in 1956 was tulip poplar. After a heated campaign in 1976, Kentucky switched its official state tree to Kentucky coffee tree (Gymnocladus dioicus). Supporters preferred this tree, as Kentucky is part of its name, and the tulip poplar had already been chosen by Indiana and Tennessee. But advocates for the tulip poplar continued their support for the original selection, citing the many uses the tree had for settlers, including Daniel Boone. In 1994, the Kentucky state tree was switched back to tulip poplar.
